Time can be divided into several big **Epochs (纪元)** each of which consists from smaller **Eras (时代)**. In the Divine Tree Ridge's Inner World there are 351 rings on Wheels of Time (岁月之轮) and each of them represents one Era; in other words there were 351 Eras, while 365 is the number of Eras in an Epoch. After which the ring will die and will be reborn at the start of the new epoch.

Every Epoch had its own unique cultivation system, but follows the same route: at the start cultivators are weak and the earth is barren (Desolate Era), civilization then slowly develops and rise (Desolate Expansion Era - Ancient Ming Era) until it reaches the most prosperous period (Emperors Era - Current Era). When development reach the apex, the Epoch will end with a great war (most likely against the Old Villainous Heavens) or some Dark Existence destroys or eats the epoch.

One epoch consisted of ten million years; a few lasted for much longer. From the start to finish was a maturity process ending with untold resources and power. Alas, all the previous couldn’t escape destruction. Only a selected few living beings were lucky enough to survive.

In the Current Era , the end of the **Nine Worlds'**  or the **Heaven's Will Epoch (天命纪元)** or the **Trinity Epoch**, almost everything about the previous Epochs are long forgotten. Most people believe, that there were only four Eras: Desolate Era, Desolate Expansion Era, Ancient Ming Era and Emperors Era. The Difficult Dao Era and the Current Era are believed to be a part of the still ongoing Emperors Era, since they are too short to be considered an Era of its own. Plues the Emperors Era had the most complete records, the Ancient Ming era had complete records but there was gaps here and there in the history, the Desolate Era is scare with records but it is still believed to have existed while the Legendary Era is considered to be just a legend; almost no one believes that it actually existed, not to mention the Primordial Era before it, much less the numerous Remote Epochs in between.
