And after that Day of Destruction, people began rebuilding the calendar of history, calling it the First Year of the Ancient Tree Era.
Historically, people called the era before this Great Destruction the Primordial Epoch.
At that time, the previous cosmic epoch had just ended, and the next universe had just begun. The various Ancient God Kings successively attained the Three Thousand Great Daos: time, space, life, earth, fire, wind, thunder, gravity, and the rest of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
In the end, the universe became complete, giving rise to the perfected cosmic environment of today.
The third-generation New Heaven of this era was created through the united efforts of countless prehistoric sages throughout the ages. It was the third heaven after Xia Tian and Cang Tian: Tree Heaven.
Time flew, and the years passed like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years slipped quietly by.
The hundredth year of the Ancient Tree Era.
One day in the Upper Realm was five thousand years in the Lower Realm.
Ten days in Heaven amounted to fifty thousand years on earth, let alone a full century.
To the countless worlds below, that was an exceedingly long span of time.
From the perspective of the Macro Universe, the dust and cicadas in this "soil," if they could not break free from their cocoons and transform into butterflies, would ultimately remain insignificant dust of ten thousand years.
Meanwhile, the endless Crystal Walls and Myriad Worlds below had endured such long ages that the suffering they had experienced was long since healed. People had even begun treating those years as myths and legends, passing them down throughout the All Heavens World.
And at this moment.
One young existence after another that had just ascended was slowly making its way forward.
