No, the moment you beat the story, the date changes to Year 1 or (0?) 7th AE. But for everyone else who hasn't beaten the game, it's still 5 7th UE. Think of it as you are the main character of the story. All your friends support you. So in your game, if it's the new era for you, "pretend" it's the same era for them as well.
