Morality-forming in the Age of Conscience

Those in the times between The Garden and Mt Sinai had no law of God with which to build their morality on. We today have great helps in the Word and in the Holy Ghost dwelling within, to formulate moral codes.

What did those in the Age of Conscience use to make a moral code?

Where is the phrase "Age of Conscience" found in the Bible?
Was this phrase mentioned anywhere in the OT or NT?

Abraham lived between the Garden and Sinai.

Here is what God said of His friend:

Genesis 26:5 (ESV),

5 ...Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws...

The Hebrew text for "laws" is וְתוֹרֹתָֽי - wə·ṯō·w·rō·ṯāy, from the Hebrew word torah.

See: https://biblehub.com/interlinear/genesis/26-5.htm

The LXX uses νομιμα - no·mi·ma, from the Greek word nomos.

See: https://biblehub.com/sepd/genesis/26.htm

How did Abraham achieve this obedience to God's law, if as you have claimed in this thread, as your opening point no less, that people in this time "had no law of God"?
