Chronological Order

The Era of Primordial Chaos (Before Time)

The universe was a formless void of chaotic energy. The laws of nature—time, space, and causality—did not yet exist.The chaotic energies birthed the First Sovereigns, entities of immense power who shaped the universe.The Sovereigns harnessed the primordial chaos, stabilizing it into realms, galaxies, and dimensions. They became the architects of existence, each Sovereign creating vast domains reflecting their power and will.

The Reign of the First Sovereigns

The Sovereigns ruled as near-omnipotent beings, governing the balance of the universe. Each Sovereign was tied to an aspect of reality—time, energy, light, shadow, or creation.

Artifacts of unimaginable power were forged during this era, capable of bending the laws of existence. These artifacts were scattered across the universe, with many sealed in places like the Void Nexus.

Mortals existed as insignificant specks in this era, their potential to ascend to power barely understood by the Sovereigns.

The Fall of the First Sovereigns

The Sovereigns' power became their downfall. Disagreements over the fate of creation led to war among them, a conflict known as the Celestial Sundering.

The war shattered galaxies, destabilized realms, and created anomalies like the Void Nexus. The Sovereigns' immense power destroyed them as they exhausted their very essence.

With the Sovereigns' fall, their realms collapsed into chaos. Their artifacts, scattered across the universe, became the focus of mortal ambition.

Mortals, no longer bound by the Sovereigns' rule, began cultivating energy and developing their own systems of power.

This marked the beginning of the Age of Factions.

The Age of Factions (Modern Era)

Factions such as the Ebon Starline Clan, Abyssal Coalition, and Sovereign Shadows rose to prominence, seeking to control the remnants of the Sovereigns' power.

The Void Nexus, a relic of the Sovereigns' war, became a focal point of conflict. Its unstable energies and hidden artifacts made it both a treasure trove and a deadly trap.

In the current era, the balance of power between factions remains fragile, with the Nexus threatening to destabilize the universe once more.

Impact of Their Fall

The Sovereigns' war fractured the laws of the universe, creating anomalies like the Void Nexus.

Their fall also paved the way for mortals to rise as cultivators, wielding fragments of the Sovereigns' former power.
