Before 11th Century

This is a timeline of events that happened on Earth-303 before the 11th 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 existence 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, Eclipso embodied His Wrath, the Radiant personified His Mercy, and the Spectre embodied His Vengeance.
* Within the Multiverses crafted by The Hands, The Presence harnessed cosmic energies, birthing the Seven Forces and the Seven Hidden Forces. These cosmic powers were woven into the very essence of each Multiverse, ensuring a delicate equilibrium.
* Angels, ethereal beings hailing from the dimension known as Heaven, are created by The Presence to serve as guardians, shielding the Omniverse from the malevolent forces seeking to disrupt the cosmic harmony.
* The Great Darkness now seeks to influence living beings from within the Omniverse to serve it. Its goal: to revert the Omniverse to the primordial state of Absolute Nothingness.
* The Hands create protective barriers called Source Walls. These metaphysical constructs serve to prevent beings from breaching the boundaries and succumbing to the seductive whispers of The Great Darkness outside. However, the insidious influence of The Darkness persists, lingering within the very fabric of the Multiverses.

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

* Over the eons that spanned billions of years, beings from every Multiverse endeavored to breach the Source Walls to liberate the imprisoned Darkness, yet each attempt ended in failure. Those who dared to challenge the cosmic boundaries found themselves condemned to an eternity of immobility, becoming living statues that would be known as Promethean Giants.

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

* A Hand named Perpetua materializes. She initiates the genesis of a Multiverse within the confines of her Source Wall. Across this cosmic canvas, successive Big Bangs reverberate, each birthing a universe teeming with life.
* Perpetua divides her Multiverse into three distinct realms, each entrusted to a cosmic architect created by her. Mar Novu assumes custodianship over the Positive Matter Realm. Mobius, bearing responsibility for the Negative Matter Realm. Lastly, Alpheus presides over the enigmatic Dark Matter Realm.
* Within the flourishing Multiverse, a race of Immortal beings emerges — The Endless. These enigmatic entities, embodying the very essence of eternity, carve their own Dimensions into the fabric of the Multiverse. Each dimension they shape becomes a reflection of aspects of existence.
* Perpetua ignites the celestial spark that culminates in the birth of Earth-303. This pivotal event initiates the dawn of the First Sphere, giving rise to the Primordial Titans. Within the confines of the First Sphere, the Titans forge Othryum, a realm where might reigns supreme and the strongest assert dominion with an iron fist.
* Titans from across the vast Multiverse are selected by the Endless Death to steward her Dimension, which is then divided into numerous Realms, intricately interwoven within each universe.

## c. 10,000,000,000 B.C.

* Lucifer, one of the oldest Angels in the Omniverse, is the first being to succumb to The Great Darkness, becoming its first Avatar. Leading a failed rebellion against the Presence and his army, he faces banishment from Heaven, condemning him to the abyss of Hell and severing his connection to The Darkness' power. However, his hatred toward the Presence and his fellow Angels continued.
* Lucifer and his rebel army's expulsion marked the genesis of Hell as a realm, destined to host not only the fallen Angels but also to give rise to indigenous entities known as Demons. The fallen angels and demons waged eternal battles, spanning eons, in a relentless struggle for control over territories in Hell. Over time, they forged a hierarchy marked by titles such as Dukes, Princes, Counts, and other infernal designations.

## c. 8,700,000,000 B.C.

* The planets around the Rao System are formed.

## c. 6,100,000,000 B.C.

* The planets around the Polaris System are formed.

## c. 5,000,000,000 B.C.

* The Old Gods are born in Othryum, assuming roles as servants to the Primordial Titans.

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

* The planets around the Solar System are formed.

## c. 2,000,000,000 B.C.

* The first "mortal" intelligent species emerge in Earth-303; the Apokoliptians and the Genesian Bugs.
* Drawn by the weight of their guilt, souls of the departed are naturally drawn into Hell, where higher-ranking fallen angels and demons administer eternal punishment upon these malevolent spirits.
* The Old Gods, in a conflict remembered as the Titanomachy, overthrow the Primordial Titans. Amidst the war, certain Titans, like Tupã—father to the Old Goddess Jaci—ally with the Old Gods, putting an end to their tyrannical brethren.
* In the aftermath, Zeus confines a group called the Twelve Titans within an enchanted box, safeguarded eternally by his brother Hades. Additionally, Death selects chosen Old Gods as her new agents, granting them dominion over the Realms within the Land of Souls after the war's conclusion.
* In the aftermath of the Titanomachy, the raw energy of the war gives birth to the New Gods, emerging from the Third Dimension, the very origin place of mortal beings.
* A faction of these New Gods migrates to the primal world of New Genesis, inhabited by the Genesian Bugs, establishing it as their newfound home. On this planet, the Genesian New Gods craft Mother Boxes—sentient, miniaturized supercomputers—capable even of forging dimensional point-to-point travel portals known as Boom-Tubes.

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

* Uxas, an Apokoliptian, witnesses the death of his family by the hands of a Genesian New God named Yuga, who seeks to awaken The Great Darkness through deaths and sacrifices. Driven by vengeance, Uxas slays Yuga and absorbs his power, transforming into the first Apokoliptian New God and being chosen as the second Avatar by The Great Darkness.
* As he succumbs to the pervasive influence of The Great Darkness, his body and mind undergo a malevolent transformation, turning him into a being of pure shadow named Darkseid. Sharing his newfound immortality and powers with loyal followers, Darkseid extends his dark influence, establishing himself as the ruler of Apokolips.
* Fueled by a thirst for revenge against the New Gods of New Genesis, Darkseid, aware of their collective might, devises a plan to uncover the Anti-Life Equation. His goal is to use it to unleash The Great Darkness into the Multiverse, making it consume it entirely and exterminate all Gods.
* The Apokoliptians, under the influence of the surrounding darkness emanating from Darkseid and his Elite, undergo physical transformations leading to a myriad of mutations. This diverse range of alterations results in an array of appearances within the species, creating the illusion of distinct races among them.
* In response to the transformative effects, a visionary Apokoliptian scientist named Desaad replicates the advanced technology of the Genesian Mother Boxes, ingeniously crafting a counterpart known as the Father Boxes.
* The Apokoliptians start to be physically affected by the darkness surrounding Darkseid and his Elite. This starts 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.
