What do you mean by in theory? Years are just numbers, so add 100 billion to the current year (2022) and that's the answer.

Maybe I had to use the term ‘Earth cycle’ instead of theory. Instead of just adding numbers. For example we see CE ( Current Era ) etc.

That's not any sort of cycle or anything. CE or common era is the modern way of saying AD, which stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for the year of our Lord. The year zero used to be defined as the year Jesus was supposedly born, and CE is just a way to keep using this date system without tying it to a specific religion. We won't be adding new or different letters or anything.

That is the reason I said ‘example’

But there isn't any sort of cycle or anything, that's the point. A year is just a number, every year it goes up by one. So in 100 billion years it'll be the current year plus 100 billion. There's nothing special going on with how time flows or anything.
