How could a society be able to function over the time span of millions of years?

One of the races in my sci-fi universe is the Ceratons a race of bipedal (more hunched build) that look similar to triceratops. Their race is well known as skilled geneticists having a hand in disease prevention and creation as well as gene splicing. A segment of Ceraton society is dedicated to the creation of life. The Ceratons are famous for seeding numerous worlds with sentient life. Mainly reptilian, much like themselves. The Earth was one of their experiments. The Ceratons had a hand in the Permian Triassic event. They'd eventually forget about earth and arrive later to find well us. One problem I've seen with this the Ceratons would have to be over hundreds of millions of years old.

Here's my main question: how could a society be able to function continuously for hundreds of millions of years?

Note: They'd of course evolve over this massive span of time.
