Machine Epoch

## History

### Origin

It is the epoch created by **Tianshou (Head of Heaven)**,**Tianji (Column of Heaven)** and **Tianzu (Foot of Heaven)**.

The Machine Epoch was the world of the Machine Race. It existed for millions of years and reached the peak of prosperity before the Legendary Era, in a different epoch. At that time there were countless experts on the level comparable to God-Monarchs and Godkings and even many existences as powerful as Immortal Emperors.

Tianji and Tianzu were both from **Stone Dwarf** and Tianshou was form machine element. Tianshou's life couldn't match his body. However, Tianji guided the evolution of Tianshou with his skillful hands and wisdom, and finally, the life of Tianshou merges with his own supreme body to match.

It was Tianji who created the cultivation techniques of Machine World, and it is suitable for all races in Machine World. Tianshou is the most perfect life and also the most powerful existance in Mecha Epoch.

Although Tianji created the path of cultivation, it was Tianzu that made it suitable for mortals. Tianzu ruled the world of machines, bringing peace and prosperity.

Despite the fact that Tianzu was the one who brought prosperity and peace to the world, the inhabitants did not consider him the true ruler, they thought that Tianshou was the **head** of the epoch, being the strongest in the world; Tianji was the **spine**, he allowed every creature in the era was strengthened; Tianzu was the administrator of the world, only being the connection between the head of heaven, the column of heaven, he being the **foot**.

### Destruction

Being minimized by the inhabitants of the world caused Tianzu being resentful, hating Tianshou, Tianji and the world. It was so that when Tianshou left the world, that Tianzu tricked Tianji into attacking heaven , with his guard down Tianzu killed him and in result the world's population was slaughtered, all cities and citadels were razed to the ground; entire world was transformed into the desert full of nothing but corpses and ruins. Even its sun was penetrated in the middle, while the moon was split in half.

### Legacy

The history of the Machine Epoch was mostly forgotten in the following eras, with very few clues left in
legends and myths. Even Dark Crow, after gathering information for millions of years from all around the Nine Worlds, obtained only a tiny bit of understanding and still knows very little about the Machine Epoch.

Only Machine World's Overlord survived destruction of the Machine Epoch. With the help of the Myriad Age Tree he preserved his life for millions of years, waiting for someone to come to the Machine Epoch.

Mortal Monarch can be said to be another survivor, but he actually left the Machine Epoch before its destruction and don't know much about it. Later on he created the Heaven's Secret Valley and passed down the Machine Epoch's craftsmanship to its members. Even though he remembered very little, it was enough for the Valley's mechanical prowess to be considered as the best in the Nine Worlds. In a sense, the Heaven's Secret Valley can be considered as the Machine Epoch's successor.

Somehow two objects from the Machine Epoch, the Mechanical World Vessel and the Insect Pipe, ended up in the Lesser Imperial Devil World and were obtained by Vedas Vajra and Devil Lord respectively.

### Current Era
