In Supernova, the Divine Predecessors claim to possess the memories of archaic Brunnen G who walked the streets of Brunnis.
This would put the Divine Order itself at well over 12,000 years.
It is theoretically possible that the Brunnen-G were able to perfect immortality within a single generation (they may have had lifespans of centuries already), and Brunnen-G who walked the streets of Brunnis-1 survived for millennia, to be taken when the Divine Order destroyed Brunnis-2.

Another question comes from the fact that it was the 14th Divine Shadow that killed Kai. If each Divine Shadow lived only a century, that’s not much of a history after all. But there were, according to the first season, only four Divine Shadows after the one that killed Kai, implying an average lifespan of at between 500 and 800 years. This puts the founding of the Divine Order somewhere between 7,000 and 12,000 years before the IWHS present.
Where exactly was that stated? The credits list Marty Simon as the voice of “Brain No. 14.” Now, I remember reading that Jeffrey Hirschfield voiced the Divine Predecessor that Kai crushed to take back his memory. So that would be a different number (I assume “Brain No. 14” means the brain of the fourteenth Divine Shadow host). Also, I don’t remember it being said that there were four Divine Shadows after the one that killed Kai. Where exactly do those figures come from?
