Before 20th Century

This is a timeline of events that happened on Earth Prime before the 20th century.

## Prior to 20,000,000,000 B.C.

* In the beginning, there was nothing but The Great Darkness. The absence of everything; the infinite nothingness.

## c. 20,000,000,000 B.C.

* From the great eternal Dark Void of nothing, a light is born, a being called "The Presence". This being gives life to a race of Gods called "Hands". Each Hand creates its own Multiverse within the greater Omniverse created by the Presence. The Hands live in a plane of existance called the Sixth Dimension. Every existing Dimension inside each Multiverse falls under the Sixth Dimension.
* Such is the greatness of The Presence that its aspects create separate identities, with each being charged with certain functions. Among them: His Wrath, called Eclipso; His Mercy; called the Radiant; and His Vengeance, the Spectre.
* Within every Multiverse created by The Hands, The Presence generates cosmic energies called the Seven Forces and the Seven Hidden Forces to keep the balance of each Multiverse.
* The Presence creates beings called Angels, who hail from a dimension named Heaven, in order to protect the Omniverse from evil.
* The force of nature that is The Great Darkness now seeks to influence living beings from within the Omniverse to serve it. The ultimate goal of The Great Darkness is to bring the Omniverse back to what it was before: Absolute Nothingness.
* To protect their Multiverses, The Hands create protective walls called Source Walls, which would prevent beings from within from crossing over and having direct contact with The Great Darkness. Despite this, the influence of The Darkness would not be completely removed from the Multiverses.

## c. 18,000,000,000 B.C.

* Ashtoreth, one of the Oldest Angels in the Omniverse, is the first being to succumb to the Great Darkness, becoming its first Avatar. She was then banished from Heaven to a Dimension called Hell, which led to her losing her conection to The Great Darkness. Hell would become the place where all the Angels who were expelled from Heaven would be sent. With time, it would have beings naturally born in it, called Demons.
* For billions of years, countless other beings from every Multiverse would attempt to breach the Source Walls to reach and free the Darkness. All would fail and become trapped in them eternally, being only able to move their eyes and heads slightly, becoming living statues that would in the future be known as Promethean Giants.

## c. 15,000,000,000 B.C.

* A Hand called Perpetua comes into existence, being created by The Presence. Perpetua then starts to create a Multiverse inside of her Source Wall, generating Big Bangs that give life to each universe. She divides the Multiverse in three realms, and gives life to three beings: Mar Novu, responsible for the Positive Matter Realm; Mobius, responsible for the Negative Matter Realm; and lastly, Alpheus, responsible for the Dark Matter Realm.
* A race of Immortal Beings independent of Perpetua emerges in the Multiverse; the Endless. The Endless then create their own Dimensions in the Multiverse, representing aspects of existence.

## c. 13,800,000,000 B.C.

* Perpetua generates the Big Bang that leads to the creation of the Prime Universe, which itself leads to the creation of The First Sphere, the birth of the Primordial Titans of said universe. The Titans then create a Realm inside the First Sphere dimension called Othryum, where the strongest would rule with an iron fist.
* Titans from all around the Omniverse are chosen by the Endless Death to take care of her Dimension, which is then divided into numerous Realms representing each Universe.
* Ashtoreth gives birth to Satanus and Blaze, who become the new lords of Hell as their mother passes away, becoming one with the Omniverse. The two brothers however, did not have nearly as much power as their mother, so they start rule Hell only in the area connected to Earth Prime, while other Demons ruled over the areas of Hell connected to other Universes.

* Lucifer is banished from Heaven to Hell and is elected Duke of an area in Hell linked to Earth Prime, named Gehenna, where he would conduct freakish experiments on the beings who ended up there.
* The Old Gods dethrone the ancient Titans in the war that would later be known as the Titanomachy. During the War, some Titans helped the Old Gods to end the tyranny of their Titan brothers. One of these Titans was Tupã, father of the Old Goddess Jaci.
* At the end of the war, Zeus imprisons a group known as The Twelve Titans in a Magic Box that would be eternally guarded by his brother Hades.
* Also after the war ended, Death chose some Old Gods to be her new agents, to rule over the Realms of the Land of Souls.

## c. 1,000,000,000 B.C.

## c. 500,000,000 B.C.

* An apokoliptian named Uxas has his family killed by a Genesian New God named Yuga, who was trying to awaken The Great Darkness through deaths and sacrifices. Uxas kills him in vengeance, absorbing his power and becoming the first Apokoliptian New God, thus being chosen by the Great Darkness as it's second Avatar after Ashtoreth.
* Uxas' body and mind begin to be poisoned by the dark force of nature, turning him into a being of pure darkness called Darkseid. He then shares his New God immortality and powers with his most loyal followers, influencing them with his darkness.
* Darkseid becomes the ruler of his planet and vows revenge against all the New Gods of New Genesis. Since he cannot invade New Genesis, as the countless new gods together are much stronger than his forces from Apokolips, Darkseid aims to find the Anti-Life Equation to unleash the Great Darkness into the Multiverse to consume it, thus exterminating all Gods.
* The Apokoliptians start to be physically affected by the darkness surrounding Darkseid and his Elite. This causes several mutations, causing an immense variety of appearances in the species, making them appear to be multiple races.
* An apokoliptian scientist named Desaad replicates the genesian technology of the Mother Boxes, creating the Father Boxes.

## c. 400,000,000 B.C.

* In addition to the mutated Apokoliptians serving the overlord Uxas, scientists Bedlam and Desaad develop beings in laboratories that are biologically programmed to be completely loyal, obeying Darkseid's every command; the Parademons.

* The Hunterdroids go rogue, and decide that the only way to maintain order is to remove organic life. They wipe out Sector 666 almost entirely, with five powerful beings remaining as the sole survivors of the Sector; Qull, Roxeaume, Obcisor, Lapsus, and their leader Atrocitus. The five beings would start calling themselves the Five Inversions, vowing revenge on the Guardians.
* The Guardians deactivate all Hunterdroids, and search for a new way to keep peace. They find out about the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, one of the Seven Forces, and start to harness the Emerald Gem found underground in Oa, containing the energy of willpower. They use the energy to forge the first Green Lantern Rings. With this, they establish the Green Lantern Corps as a second attempt to maintain peace in the universe. The Guardians then recruit the First Seven Lanterns and start building the Green Lanterns' Central Power Battery, in order to forge more rings and recruit more members.
* Together, the Guardians begin writing the Book of Oa, which contains the entire history, the principles and the future of the Green Lantern Corps; including a prophecy called the War of Light.

## c. 4,500,000 B.C.

* Atrocitus learns about the prophecy and the Emotional Spectrum. He and the other survivors of his Sector search for the Crimson Gem containing the energy of hate in the planet Ysmault of Sector 666. When they find it, the Gem starts to influence the hatred of the five, causing them to fight amongst themselves for the object, with Atrocitus being the last one standing. He then starts to harness the Gem's energy to create the first Red Lantern Ring, and the Red Lantern's Central Battery. Atrocitus also starts to forge more Red Rings to find more beings in the universe that can, in his now twisted mind, be saved by the energy of hate.

## c. 1,500,000 B.C.
