He's saying there was no Empire during that time in the Second Era, when it collapsed. Cursory investigation seems to back this up. I think it would be more likely for Serana to say "wasn't that Empire destroyed?" instead of "there's an Empire in Cyrodiil?" so I lean toward First Era. However, it seems perfectly reasonable that she wouldn't know much about the Empire if it fell a couple hundred years before she became a vampire, so I stand by the possible validity of his interpretation. Just not any of the support produced to back it up.
