Chronology

This page will be renamed to distinguish from Timeline (Chapters) and Martial Heaven Continent/History.

Note: Since this is a lengthy novel, some things might have been retconned by the author. So, either the most recent information or information repeated multiple times is taken as canon.

The Author sometimes refers to the past eras as immemorial or mythological era. He also uses the term Primordial Era to refer to what happened in the past, not the era with the same name.

## Eras

The 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yearbook List' book mentions current era, the ancient era, the archaic era, the immemorial era, the desolate era, and the great primal chaos era.

* Current Era referred to the past million years.
* Ancient Era was one million to ten million years ago.
* Archaic Era referred to ten million to a hundred million years ago.
* When it came to the immemorial era and the desolate era. These periods couldn’t be calculated by years. According to historical records, the immemorial era referred to the birth of the world of cultivation. Thus, the immemorial era was termed the great beginning.
* Cultivation only began to exist in the immemorial era. It was said that the cultivation techniques of that time were the most primitive. They were all simple and crude. So much time had passed that everything was muddled.
* Desolate Era was a time lacking any sense of order. At that period, humanity was still at the bottom level of the food chain, and there was no written language recorded. There were only some ancient murals that managed to survive, and those records showed that life back then was very difficult. In the desolate era, it was the various wild beasts and other lifeforms that were the masters. Humanity barely survived between the cracks. It could be said that humanity’s memories could only stretch back to the desolate era. Although there were no words left behind, there were at least some carvings.
* The great primal chaos era was the true mess of unknowns. It was the era before humanity’s history, so it was an era of unknowns to humanity.

## Great Primal Chaos Era

* During this era, there was abundant Primal Chaos aura and the Heavenly Dao laws were complete, resulting in very powerful creatures being born.
* There is no information about the human beings of that era, the human beings could only exist in the cracks on various worlds by being slaves of various creatures.
* The ancestral Dragon which keeps helping Long Chen was born and became a terrifying powerhouse during this era.
* The Great Emperor's of Ten Earths like Ghost Emperor were born
* Starry Sky Warriors, known as " The strongest under the stars" were present. They mysteriously disappeared in the Immemorial Age.
* Seven Treasures Colored Glaze Tree also called the tree of wisdom is tree species of Primal Chaos Era. It helps people obtain enlightenment or gain an epiphany.
* The ten Primal Chaos Divine Armament were mostly created in this era. They are the strongest Divine weapons in Nine Heavens and Ten Earth's. A complete Divine Armament can kill even undying, indestructible creatures like Ghost Emperor, Underworld Emperor etc.
* The ancestors of Myriad clans created the Saint King Arena. The champion of this competition would obtain the Saint King Crown, which gathers the destiny of Nine Heavens on the winner. With this blessing, the champion would not face any bottleneck and would be guaranteed to become an Immortal Powerhouse.
* The Ancestral Dragon tells Long Chen that the fleshly body of human beings in this era was within the top ten among trillions of species. As they relied only on bloodline divine abilities and didn't use any magical techniques. They had very pure bloodline.

## Desolate Era

* Human race was at the bottom of the food chain. Since, they had a weak fleshly body (note: did the humans bodies regress from the “Great Primal Chaos Era) and were smart enough to create many tools, human race was considered as a prized catch by various races.
* Nine Star Lord was born, human race went from being slaves to overlords of immortal world.
* Human race obtained heavenly Dao's blessings and were baptized by divine light, making them create new Cultivation Technique's, Battle Skills and casting items.
* It is rumored that some people opened the Dark door, which allowed beings of the Dark World to invade Nine Heavens & Ten Earths and start the Ancient Desolate Great War.
* Ancient Desolate Great War took place 1 trillion+ years back. This resulted in the fall of human race, Heavenly Dao being incomplete and primal chaos aura flow reducing. All the great inheritances that the Human Beings created during this era were lost after the war. This war is also referred to as ' Primal Chaos Great War'.
* Nine Star Descendants went from being one of the most noble existences in Nine Heavens Ten Earths to one of the most hunted down faction.
* Pill Emperor, Nine Star Lord and other Heavenly God's were betrayed by Great Brahma, resulting in the fall of humans.
* The Three Link Heaven Swallowing Clan who were the overlord of the underworld were betrayed and the serene clan became the new ruler of the underworld (who used English MTL to add notes to this??)
* Vermillion Bird is said to have gone extinct after the war. Cloud Chasing Heaven Devouring Sparrow most probably betrayed myriad beasts to help human beings, which resulted in then being hunted.
* Ghost Emperor and Underworld Emperor's fleshly body and primordial spirit was destroyed by the Nine Star Lord. Since, they were undying, indestructible creatures, they didn't die.

## Immemorial Era

* The cultivation techniques and Battle Skills of that time were all primitive and embryonic. In reality, the Ancient Desolate Great war caused all the great inheritances to be lost.
* After the Ancient Desolate Great war, Heavenly Dao became incomplete and the primal chaos aura flow became less. There by resulting in creatures of every successive era being far weaker than their earlier era counterparts.
* Human race became too dependent on Heavenly Dao, which resulted in human beings being able to create new magical techniques, but having a very weak fleshly body.
* As the Heavenly Dao kept on changing, human beings couldn't create a new body refining system.
* This is the last Era when Heavenly Gods were born.

## Archaic Era

* All the branch institutes of Soaring Firmament academy were destroyed.
