History[]
The Beginning[]
On the first day, The Original Creator awoke and created this world, but Reality, the Spirit World, the Astral World, and Fate were still mixed together.[1]
On the second day, Oldest One birthed the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Reality gained a foundation, the Spirit World and Astral World were separated, and the River of Fate began to flow. Soon after, the Mother Tree of Desire was born, giving rise to life and introducing evil and desire. Then came the Son of Chaos, who established order-and with it, shadows naturally emerged.[1]
On the third day, the Oldest One and the Mother Goddess united, and the Mother of All Things gave birth to a firstborn daughter, the Goddess of Fate. From then on, the fates of all things began to intertwine, no longer in absolute chaos but instead forming relative patterns and foreseeable futures.[1]
Pre-Epoch[]
After Original Creator created the universe, "He" fell asleep. The slumbering Original Creator spontaneously split out multiple personalities such as the Primordial God Almighty and The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth. They are also in a state of deep sleep, but they have begun to use their own authority and Beyonder Characteristics to indirectly and secretly interfere with and influence the real world, making many preparations for the true division after their initial awakening.
The cataclysm came around the modern era and everything was destroyed. During this time, the stars and the earth all experienced great changes. The Survivors and Transmigrators came from this era.
First Epoch: The Age of Chaos[]
Unknown when it started, unknown when it ended.
The beginning was dark, chaotic, and filled with madness until Beyonder races eventually gained some rationality. The First Blasphemy Slate first appeared in this epoch. The Western Continent disappeared in the gray fog.
Second Epoch: The Dark Epoch[]
Due to the purification of Beyonder Characteristics, the major races have evolved their own characters and civilizations, and eight Ancient Gods have emerged one after another. "They" ruled sky, land, and oceans. "They" ruled over the Spirit World and Astral World, and various races.
Humanity struggled to survive and became subordinates or even slaves of Giants, Elves, and Sanguines. Until the Ancient Sun God woke up and took back the authorities from Ancient Gods, allowing humanity to successfully rise up in revolt.
Third Epoch: The Cataclysm Epoch[]
After the death of all Ancient Gods, the Ancient Sun God became the absolute ruler of the world and the one and only Orthodox God. Humans walked out of the shadow of other races and became the dominant race of the land. They started to study the world of mysticism. They created the Pathways system with potion formulas and rituals based from the First Blasphemy Slate.
Soon later, the Ancient Sun God found the awakening of the Primordial One in his mind and attempt fight against "Him". Under the tacit agreement, the Rose Redemption was founded. This led to the fall of the Ancient Sun God, and the Second Blasphemy Slate was created from "His" remains after "His" death.
The Lord of Storms, Eternal Blazing Sun, God of Knowledge and Wisdom and True Creator were born afterward.
Fourth Epoch: the Epoch of The Gods[]
After the fall of the Ancient Sun God, the Eastern Continent where the City of Silver was located was isolated from the rest of the world, and became known as the "Forsaken Land of the Gods".
The Solomon Empire established, led by the Black Emperor Solomon with support from the True Creator, as well as the Rose Redemption.
Later on, Alista Tudor and Trunsoest rebelled against the Black Emperor Solomon and the Solomon Empire with the support of the six gods. They successfully killed the Black Emperor and established the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire, replacing the Solomon Empire.
Eventually, the Black Emperor Solomon managed to resurrect and rebuild the Solomon Empire. This led to the great war: War of the Four Emperors.
Fifth Epoch: The Iron Age[]
After the fall of four emperors. The Northern Continent is ruled by seven Orthodox Churches and the Four Great Nations, and there are also many secret organizations operating secretly.
In the early days, in the Southern Continent, due to the fall of the Underworld Emperor, the Resistance gradually appeared at the sea. The Highlands Kingdom and the Paz Kingdom were founded, before they were destroyed by the invasion from the Northern Continent nations.
The Industrial Revolution started with the transmigration of Huang Tao as Roselle Gustav. The improvement of steam engine cultivated the growing number of pirates and the birth of steamship. Then started the era of Colonialism.
In the Year 1350, the world war occurred embroiled all of the nations of Northern Continent.
In the Year 1358, Outer Deities penetrated the barrier more and more intensely, and the number of Boon Recipients who pursued mysterious power and believed in evil gods continued to increase. The end was approaching, and the world was in a greater crisis.
