Chapter 390: The Time He Waited, The Time He Walked (3)
The great slashes had adorned the world four times in total.
From the third slash, [humans] were finally born. People named the moment when this third slash occurred [Sword's Day].
In the fourth slash, [humans] who were originally [one group], were divided into countless [races], [countries], [cities], [villages], [clans], [families], and eventually, [individuals] were born. People named the moment when this fourth slash occurred [Sword's Era].
And time flowed on.
To differentiate from the Sword's Year, the Axe's Year, Spear's Year, Bow's Year, etc., were created.
To differentiate from the Sword's Month, the Armor's Month, Shield's Month, Bracelet's Month, etc., were created.
Similarly, to differentiate from the Sword's Day and the Sword's Era, countless days and eras were created, and these were further divided into countless minutes and seconds.
There were those who called these detailed naming of times the fifth slash, but it did not gain everyone's support. Regardless, these fragmented times began to revolve, each with its own season.
And finally, the moment came when the Sword's Year, Sword's Month, Sword's Day, Sword's Era, Sword's Minute, Sword's Second all meshed together like gears.
It was also the moment he was forged.
