Generally speaking, in the early stages of a new epoch, when its civilization began to emerge, survivors of the previous epoch would face rejection until they were forced to leave Earth and seek survival in other worlds.
Perhaps some could remain, but not too many. Otherwise, the new epoch's destiny would feel threatened and forcibly expel them.
The Angels and Devil of the Fourth Epoch, for instance, had numbered nearly a million altogether even when they left Earth.

Before that, it had merely lowered their birth rate instinctively.
Yet their low
