Timeline

The time period for the story was divided into three different sections.

### First Timeline (**첫 번째**)

* It is the very original timeline of the story where NO time machine and time travel was involved.
* Cheon Yeo Woon grew up with a great personality as he was loved by both his parents and successfully became the Lord of the Heavenly Demonic Cult.
* In this timeline, Cheon Yeo Woon succeeded Cheon Ma's Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon and attain immortality by absorbing all of the Five Spirit Beasts core ON HIS OWN and obtained the title 'Demon God'.
* Blade God (under a different name) is a subordinate that served under Cheon Yeo Woon.
* Due to jealousy on Cheon Yeo Woon, Blade God decided to go back in time hoping to change the future. He went back to the time of the Cheon Ma but was instead defeated. He then went to the time of the 7th Lord of the Heavenly Demonic Cult to end the passing of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon in which he succeeded. This incident leads to the creation of the second timeline.

### Second Timeline (**두 번째**)

* This is the time paradox created byBlade God when he went back in time, fought with Cheon Ma although end up being defeated, killed the 7th Lord of the Heavenly Demonic Cult and founded the Blade God Six Martial Clan.
* In this timeline, Blade God Six Martial Clan becomes the biggest and strongest faction while the Heavenly Demonic Cult became weaker and was known as Sky Corporation.
* In this timeline, Cheon Yeo Woon's mother died due to the intervention of the Six Clans and was neglected by his father, Cheon Yu-Jong.
* Cheon Yeo Woon's personality is very different unlike in the first timeline due to being monitored by the Six Clans. he grew up being cold-hearted and merciless to his enemies and those who offends him are ended up with a severed arm.
* Cheon Yeo Woon still managed to become the Lord of the Heavenly Demonic Cult in this timeline, but instead of obtaining the title 'Demon God' he got the title of 'Slashing Demon Emperor' due to many arms and limbs he severed.
* Cheon Mu-Sung came from this timeline and found out that the history had been altered by Blade God and decided to go back into the past in order to correct the distortion of the past by:
	+ Bringing a person from the past that can defeat Blade God of his current time. He had chosen Cheon Ma but the latter refused and was instead warned about the existence of Blade God that will attack the Heavenly Demonic Cult in the future.
	+ Injecting a 7th Generation Nano Machine into an ancestor to obtain the martial arts and bring that recorded data back into the future so the Sky Corporation can fight against Six Blade Corporation.

### Third Timeline (**세 번째**)

* This is the timeline where the Nano Mashin novel is set and based.
* This is the time paradox created by Cheon Mu-Sung when he went back to the past and injected 7th Generation Nano Machine intoCheon Yeo Woon.
* This timeline is a mixture of both the first and second timeline as it has semblance and similarities:
	+ In this timeline, Cheon Yeo Woon grew up having his mother died and was hindered by the Six Clans.
	+ Cheon Yeo Woon' martial arts prowess and talents is quite similar to the first timeline but he has a rapid growth rate due to having injected a 7th Generation Nano Machine.
	+ Like the second timeline, Cheon Yeo Woon was known for severing the arms of his enemies, but he obtained the title 'Demon God' like in the first timeline.
	+ His personality in this timeline is being merciless and cold-hearted to his enemies just like in the second timeline, but has a favorable and good side to those of his friends and subordinates just like in the first timeline.
	+ Like in the first timeline, Cheon Yeo Woon succeeded Cheon Ma's Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon attained immortality by absorbing the cores of the Five Spirit Beasts.
	+ In this timeline, Blade God was the main antagonist and wasn't a subordinate of Cheon Yeo Woon.
