(PS: It seems that I am sick; no wonder I couldn't get out of bed this morning. By the afternoon, my throat began to hurt, and after dinner, I started to develop a slight fever. After taking medicine, I felt drowsy, and only now have I managed to finish editing this chapter.)
"According to the information we have, though still uncertain, the material universe is divided into epochs. In fact, before the Era of the Gods, there was another era, the Pastoral Age, which saw the emergence and rise of the first generation of intelligent life civilizations."
"Surely some of these initial civilizations destroyed themselves, some perished due to cosmic disasters, the torrents of time, but the universe is so vast that some civilizations step by step climbed upward, and eventually, Divine Level civilizations appeared, and the Era of the Gods ultimately arrived."
