Description
The multiverse is an infinite or finite set of universes parallel to each other. In Dragon Ball there are two multiverses, the DBS 12(Formerly 18) universes which are all contained in a single timeline, and the Xenoverse and Heroes multiverses which are infinite and are contained in the Chasm of Time. In the Xenoverse and Heroes multiverses the timelines are represented as crystals and are called Time Chasm Crystals.
Noteworthy Places
The universes are 3rd/4th dimensional sealed spheres that contain: planets, stars, nebulae(solar systems), galaxies, and various pocket dimensions. The universes were created by Tori-Bot, or in-universe, by the Kaioshin and Tokitoki, the universes are all kept in an outside dimension on a giant jelly fish near Zeno's palace floating on top of rock pillars.

The Time Nest

The Time Nest is the 4th dimension[8] and where all the multiverse's history is kept and time is created by Tokitoki, the god, creator, and embodiment of time. It's Chronoa's job as the Kaioshin of Time to record history and watch over the time flow of the multiverse. If the vault is destroyed all history will be erased. There is only one Time Nest and it is located on the edge of Universe 7.

[14] Fusion lasts forever in Tokitoki World.
The Crack of Time
The Crack of Time is an extra-dimensional space that transcends the multiverse. This
space is outside of, houses, and is interconnected to all timelines. Due to the fact it transcends both the Time Nest and multiverse it is a 5th dimensional space.
[15] Chronoa states it is a space separate from the dimension of Time.

The Over World
Hero Town
The Over World is a metafictional place in Dragon Ball Heroes that is a fictional version of our world. The Over World transcends the Heroes multiverse and the people of the real world have to use avatars of themselves and a dimensional transfer machine to interact with it. Because it transcends the Crack of Time it can be considered a 6th dimensional space.
[21] People in the real world view DBH as fictional.
