To rephrase.
'Ahh.. I guess.'

Following is a grammar check and commentary.
0 - 100 : The gods are created. How? No explication can be given. They began to exist at this time. Nobody know it, but the gods themselves. All gods were united and created the world and the sub-worlds that we know today. Good. This looks good.
100 - 503 : New races came to life. Heaven is created as a gift from the gods. Who or what gives the new races life and why did the gods decide to give Heaven to the mortals?
503 - 708 : Some mortal and immortal beings attacked a god due that they coudn't access heaven, ever. Resulting in a war that lasted 5 years and eventually gave birth to hell. Why couldn't they get to heaven? Who did they war with- the good races, the gods, or both? Exactly how was hell created?
708 - 1030 : The world grows fast. Small planes are created outside the world, making the first outsider to come to life. How are the planes created? The gods? The belief of the mortals a la Planescape?
1030 - 1076 : The first war between the gods. It exploded without warning and lasted 46 years. In this war, everything that lived entered a fight against each other. Only two gods survived it. Which two?
Second Era. -Nothler
1076 - 1180 : The two gods regenerated their old friends to be with them and rebuilt the world... A world without evil. Hell was blocked off and heaven were slowly mixed with the mortal's plane. This is really interesting. How complete was the block? Could small numbers of demons still get through? What happened to hell once it was isolated?
1180 - 2415 : Nothing to note really. The world is always better and more healthy. New races, etc. No reason to list this.
2415 - 2418 : A new god came to life, unexpectedly, (No name yet.. let call him Mr. X) and decided to take control of all the planes. He had an army already built with a commander known as Althael or the fire angel, by the mortals. He took control of all the elemental planes and minor planes. These planes didn't had gods to protect them, which resulted in a automatic failure. Good! Looking interesting. Did the gods on the mortal/heaven plane notice?
2418 - 2637 : X entered Hell to conquer it with Althael and another angel.. known as Anara. They completely anihilated every form of authority and took power over the demons. Soon afterword, he conquered the Abyss. Then, X decided to control the mortal plane, which had become heaven. The gods came to the plane to stop this, but many of them have been killed by the angels alone. After 219 years of war, all the planes were under the control of X. How did those angels get so powerful?
Third Era. -Soveren
2637 - 4531 : The plane has been rebuilt as the god wished. Every plane looks like the elemental plane of fire, and all have a chaotic look. Humans no longer exist. Do the planes still retain vestiges of their former appearence?
4531 - 4786: The angels are separated, as X requested, to gain the control of a new and smaller plane, which didn't made them happy. They turned against X. The other gods, aware of this, took the opportunity and attacked X, through the angels. X got banished in a small plane, where he is still stuck today. The angels were attacked by all the gods and powerful entities that existed. The two coudn't be killed, but got banished in the deepest of the earth, resting under miles of lava. After 255 years of war, heaven needed to be completely rebuilt and never mixed again with the mortal plane. Why did X leave the gods alive? Why did the gods leave X alive? Why couldn't the angels be killed? Why can't Heaven be mixed with the mortal plane again?
Fourth Era. -Leanncha
4786 - 6300 : The world is rebuilt as it was before. Some small wars happen, but wars are infrequent. This era is know as the neutral one.
6300 - 6402 : The gods start to hate each other, for a second time. This results in another war. The war lasted 102 years, but was, much less damaging that the last one. Why wasn't there as much damage? Why did they hate each other?
Fifth Era. -Yvorasama
6402 - 6500 : The evil creatures that populate our world are now exiled to the deepest cavern or hiding far, far away in the woods. Away from the pladins and the clerics. All of the monsterous races are nearly extinct, desperately trying to repopulate their civilization, but without hope of success.
People have forgotten what a war is. Murder is extremely rare- almost unheard of. The land is rich, food is available in very large quantities, and the land is plentiful.
All the remaining gods are good, without any evil domains: so religion is limited to good, making people stay away from bad things or temptation. The gods all work together to keep the world as bright and peaceful as it is.
Still, the excluded races have created a hidden society underground. All living together after hard generations of violence to get to this mutual relation. (An hierarchial society not defined yet.) They adapted to this new environment and became stronger and more wise over time.
Time has passed and monsters are becoming so rare that they are becomming legends, only stories to frighten children. The old elves (Who survived the last war) still walk the lands, enchanting them and keeping everything beautiful. The old dwarves mine the ground to create caverns beyond the wildest dreams of the gods.. The sun shines like never before, everything grows perfectly. The land is considered heaven by most. There coudn't be a better time in history. So was the mortals' plane literally merged with Heaven again, or is it just a really good place?

Planescape was an old, much-loved 2e setting that held that the various Planes were manifestations of mortals' belief. Very philosophical, and very fun to play.
BTW, 'dured' isn't a word. A replacement might be 'lasted.'

In a normal cosmology, cold and light are called Ice and Radiance respectively, and designated as Para- and Quasi- Elemental Planes respectively.

Don't try to do too much at once, and end up confusing the PC.

Don't make it neccesary for the PC to ally with the underground to complete the campaign. Construct several alternate paths where he can go it alone, ally with the human races, etc. Forcing a PC down any particular path is generally a no-no. Let them choose.
