In the first year of the Immortal Calendar, the Fifth Star Ring's Venerable God fell, and the Venerable Immortal rose to prominence.
Following this, twelve Immortal Lords established twelve eras. Each era spanned 12,000 years, forming one grand cycle.
Within each era, there were four stages: Dao Beginning, Dao Radiance, Dao Heaven, and Dao End.
Each stage lasted 3,000 years, with the four stages forming a smaller cycle within the grand one.
A rule was set: for every new Immortal Lord that appeared in the future, an additional era would be added to the Immortal Calendar.
Due to the Venerable Immortal's prolonged cultivation, it was also decreed that the ruling Immortal Lord of any given era would preside over the Fifth Star Ring for the duration of that era.
Today, it was the year 2999 of Dao End within the Nine Shores Era, in the eleventh month.
Only one more month remained before the arrival of the next era, the Aurora Era.
