Pre-Epoch

Time	Date	Event
More than 13.8 billion BA		At the beginning, the Original Creator created the universe and incarnation of all things. "He" split into multiple personalities. The Primordial God Almighty and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings were the most powerful and active ones among all personalities. "He" directly created 3 Outer Deities: the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Son of Chaos, and the Mother Tree of Desire. "He" united with the Mother Goddess of Depravity to create the rest of the Outer Deities. Among the Great Old Ones, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, the Primordial God Almighty, and the Mother Goddess of Depravity were the strongest that stood above all of them. "They" are called the three Pillars, also known as the "Pillars of Origin".
(undef.)		The Original Creator entered deep slumber underground.
Human Civilization
		Several Great Old Ones were already active on Earth, including the Primordial God Almighty and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, but "Their" presence was unknown to the public. Many folklores and legends in this time were based on actual mysterious events.
		Human Civilization reached at least 21st century of the modern period under the Gregorian calendar.
	(undef.)	Through "His" slumber, the Original Creator was trying to influence reality with a tiny amount of constant fluctuations. The research institute in Chernobyl discovered something deep inside the field, and people started to turn into crude oil. The research facility has been sealed from the outside.
	2020 AD	The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings prepared for the case where "He" perished and would need to resurrect by secretly seizing Spirit Bodies of people through various means and hung them in the transparent cocoons in the Sefirah Castle as "His" candidates. Huang Tao bought a mysterious silver plate with some strange symbols and patterns engraved on it. Zhou Mingrui discovered an old book and performed the Luck Enhancement Ritual.
	(undef.)	The cataclysm came and everything was destroyed.
The Earth Cataclysm
(undef.)		The Original Creator was awakened. "His" body shattered into the Beyonder Characteristic of several Pathways and Sefirot on Earth. This also attracted to Earth parts of the Sefirot and Beyonder Characteristics from Outer Deities that were directly born and nurtured by "Him": Mother Goddess of Depravity, Son of Chaos, and Mother Tree of Desire. When the total number of 22 pathways and the nine sefirot was reached, everything finally reached a balance.
	(soon after)	Many Outer Deities came to Earth to either retrieve the Sefirah and characteristics originally belonging to "Them", or to obtain additional Sefirot and characteristics neighboring "Them" to become stronger. However, the residual power of the Original Creator constitutes an invisible barrier that protects Earth from "Them". "They" have stayed in the Solar System ever since, waiting for the barrier to disappear along with the weakening of the Creator's will over time.
	(later)	Earth had great reconstructions through time. North America became the Northern Continent. South America became the Southern Continent. A large part of the isthmus that connects the two landmasses has been wiped away by some kind of power, forming the Berserk Sea. Midseashire is the expanded and connected version of the Great Lakes of North America, likely as a result of a strike from a massive meteor. Greenland became the Sonia Island. East Asia became the Western Continent. Europe and West Asia became the Eastern Continent, later known as the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Australia fell and became the Abyss.
	(undef.)	The embodiment of the limitless knowledge, the previous Seven Lights, were wiped out.
	(undef.)	After the Cataclysm of human civilization, Earth entered the First Epoch.

First Epoch: The Age of Chaos

Main article: First Epoch

Time	Event
The Sprouting Era
More than 10,000 BA	In the beginning years, it was chaotic, dark, and crazy, and didn’t leave behind any texts. The supernatural races such as elves, giants, dragons, treants, feathered serpents, phoenixes, demonic wolves, mutants, sea monsters, naga, devils, and evil spirits appeared.
	First-generation of Ancient Gods appeared one after another. The sky, the land, the sea, and the underground world slowly changed from disorderliness to orderliness.
	After the supernatural races obtained a certain level of intelligence and had their own languages, creatures finally had some knowledge of history. The first language, Elvish, was created by the first-generation Elf King.
	The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings sealed the main consciousness of the Son of Chaos, into the Magic Wishing Lamp.
	Omebella and Zedus were born from the union of the Primordial God Almighty and the Brood Hive.
	The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings and the Primordial God Almighty had acquired additional Sefirot, which increased "Their" instinct for convergence until "They" could no longer control "Themselves", fought each other, and both perished. The First Blasphemy Slate was born from the remains of the Primordial God Almighty in the Chaos Sea, and beside it was the Uniqueness of the Error Pathway.
	Other than the Chaos Sea and the Sefirah Castle, the other Sefirot have been sealed in the Western Continent by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.
	At some point, first-generation elves left the Western Continent before it was sealed and was unable to return.
	The new Seven Lights was born from the Spirit World. "They" formed a secret organization — the Great White Brotherhood.
	No one knew how many years this stage lasted. Based on the God of Steam and Machinery's civilization picture, human civilizations have lasted for "tens of thousands of years".

Bethel Abraham was banished by the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms. The remaining High-Sequence Beyonders in the family all perished. Evernight Goddess sealed Antigonus in the Foggy Town after "He" lost control and went mad. The Church of the Evernight Goddess eliminated the Antigonus Family and the Nation of the Evernight.

"His" birth is related to the Moses Ascetic Order. The revival of the Hidden Sage is related to the relationship between the Moses Ascetic Order and the God of Craftsmanship of the Fourth Epoch.

		Abraham Family gradually declined because of the curse on Blood Moon night. Sanguines retreated to an uninhabited mountain to hide in the shadows so as to maintain the continuation of the race.
Over 100 years after the War of the Four Emperors ended, the Pale Disaster began		Death left a piece of "His" soul in Azik Eggers in order to resurrect in the future. Death went mad from attempting to accommodate the Uniqueness of Red Priest Pathway with the help of the River of Eternal Darkness. After over a century of "digestion". "He" wasn’t able to resist the desire for converging the Twilight Giant and Darkness pathways, "He" joined forces with the Primordial Demoness to wreak havoc and create a Pale Disaster on the Northern Continent.
		Apart from the three great empires and the true deities and Kings of Angels behind them, the Fourth Epoch also had the influence of the Demoness Sect and the Moses Ascetic Order. There was also the Abyss’ infiltration and secretly developed Artisans, as well as the Southern Continent’s Balam.
		In addition, there were many crucial factors at stake. With the fading will of the Original Creator: The Barrier was weakening. Along with the death of the Ancient Sun God, the invasion of reality by the Outer Deities clearly deepened. The seal on the Western Continent by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings was gradually weakening. The Sefirot instinctively (or consciously) used "Their" symbolism to corrode "Their" respective Uniqueness and High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics in an attempt to influence the outside world. In the Fourth Epoch, traces of more Sefirot began to appear on the Northern and Southern Continents and the islands over the Five Seas. The City of Calamity secretly seeped out energy from sealed Western Continent, affecting the cities behind the door of Binsy Town. The Nation of Disorder corrupted the Justiciar Uniqueness and turned it into the Trunsoest Brass Book.
		At the end of the Fourth Epoch, cracks appeared on the Barrier. The Seven Orthodox Gods had to move "Their" divine kingdoms to the Astral World to fill in the gap.
