Vampire's Slice of Life

A few days passed.

Lith's ascension to Rank 8 had begun. He was still sitting on the same pedestal as before and was meditating.

Lith was back to recalling the tale of the First Immortal. 

The tale of the First Immortal was not something secret. It was available to everyone and was taught in all academies and houses. The experience and hardships that the First Immortal went through in all his life, it was written into a book by him. This book also became the first inheritance in this world and it was available to everyone.

Lith had read the book fully a lot of times but he wasn't able to figure out things from it. The book was too sophisticated and complex, even though it was just the experiences of the First Immortal.

Only now when Lith was undergoing ascensions, he was starting to realize the meaning behind the things written in that book. 

The experiences of the First Immortal were complied in a book by himself and it was literally just called ‘The Tale of the First Immortal'. 

Many things may have vanished and washed away with time, but this book was the only thing that was a proof that the first sentient beings came into existence much before the Immemorial Era and also the ascension to immortality of the first sentient being.

Speaking of sentient beings coming into existence, the world had a vast and rich history.

The first known era was the Immemorial Era. It ended one trillion years ago but this was the era that lasted for the longest while. 

It lasted for a 100 trillion years and the sentient beings learnt to cultivate in this time. The First Immortal was born much before the Immemorial Era and that time period was called ‘The Beginning of Times'. 

p-a-n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om Nobody knew how long that era was but one thing was sure and it was that the first sentient beings came into existence during this period. Though when they came into existence, it was much later in that period and it was almost close to the Immemorial Era.

After the Immemorial Era ended a trillion years ago, it was the Early Chaotic Era that started. 

In this era, sentient beings started becoming immortals all due to the First Immortal leaving behind his inheritance and opening a path for everybody.

The beings became more powerful than the monsters in the surroundings and soon civilizations started forming and people became hungry for power.

The Early Chaotic Era was the time when people were preparing themselves. It lasted for a total of 900 billion years and it ended a 100 billion years ago.

Just as it ended, the world entered into the Chaotic Era. Wars and bloodshed became a common occurrence and fight for survival soon started. It was a very cruel period to live in and this lasted for 50 billion years and ended 50 billion years ago as well.

Just as it ended, the world entered into the Late Chaotic Era. This was the period where nobody rested and the bloodshed that was already occuring, increased in intensity by many times.

People became cannibals because there was no food available to eat. The world was almost grazed down to oblivion because of the constant war and in this era, people's mind was filled with nothing but to war.

This suffering and war lasted for 10 billion years and ended 40 billion years ago. 

Only after this period ended was there a little peace. But, there were hardly any beings present in the world to enjoy this peace.

Almost everything was destroyed and there was nothing present in this world. Sentient beings, irrational monsters, vegetations, rivers, oceans, everything was almost gone. There was just hardly anything left in the world.

In this world, all beings were on their last strand and were surviving with what little there was left. Only when everything was lost, did the beings realize that such bloodshed that happened was totally unnecessary.

Everyone could've lived well had they not been greedy and hungry for power. Everything could've been sorted had people sat down and did discussions. But, nothing could've been changed even though people had great regrets.

The era these beings were living in, it was called the Desolate Era. It lasted for 40 billion years and ended a billion years ago.

Vegetation was back in the world, the elemental energies were in abundance once again and everything was back to normal. 

The world entered into a prosperous and peaceful era after the Desolate Era ended. All beings knew that war was not something they should do and it was still fresh in everyone's minds. Whatever had happened in the Chaotic Era was something that should never happen again.

Thus, to prevent this, a lot of precautions were taken and many teachings were passed down. All thanks to these things, there was no war.

The peaceful and prosperous era that came after the Desolate Era ended was the Early Tranquility Era. It lasted for 500 million years and also ended 500 million years ago.

After it ended came the Mediaeval Tranquility Era. In this era, the beings started becoming powerful again. But this time, it was done in a controlled manner and a lot of things were taken into consideration to ensure that there wasn't another Chaotic Era that would come.

The Mediaeval Tranquility Era lasted for 400 million years and it has only been a 100 million years since it ended.

The world was currently living in the Tranquility Era and it had been a 100 million years ever since it had begun.

After recalling all such things about the history of the world, Lith soon tried to summarize it.

The history was like this:

Lith, after finishing up with the history of the world, he started understanding the chapter 1 of ‘The Tale of the First Immortal' once again.

A/N: There's a bit of information in here and there's also a good amount of it present in the past chapters. I know you guys might have trouble understanding it and remembering it.

So this is an announcement for the wiki page. I don't know how to set it up and would've done it I known how to. If there's any reader or if any of you know anyone who knows how to do fandom wiki, do make them dm me on discord. You can find my discord tag on my profile. 

I'll provide the articles/pictures whatever is needed and let's set it up 🙂
