Background

Origin and Creation

Su Jiang's future memories describe Meta World as a spiritual world unconsciously constructed by the Human Race. Its earliest state was unstable, with worlds constantly forming and collapsing, before it developed into a comparatively stable space using reality and human imagination as material 3.

Elysia later reveals that she created Meta World through the laws of creation. She established NPC identities, backstories, appearances, and abilities, but omitted behavior and consciousness; the laws of creation filled those gaps on their own. This oversight contributed to the world's unexpected autonomy and developments 417.

The early Meta World itself is described as having no consciousness. Any conscious creator behind it had become the impersonal operational rules governing the world 23.

Launch on Earth

Meta World first appeared by invading the networks of multiple countries and conducting aggressive viral marketing. Governments regarded it as a dangerous, privacy-invading unknown technology, while much of the public initially assumed that the United States—or extraterrestrials—had created it 3.

At launch, access required expensive VR equipment. The game presented players with attribute-development choices, an initial Talent draw, and a guide program whose blended Hanfu-and-elf appearance reflected Meta World's lack of cultural or racial boundaries at the time 3 4.

China initially resisted the game and restricted major media coverage. This allowed early players elsewhere to gain advantages before Meta World's effects on reality became impossible to ignore 34 35.

Descent into Reality

Meta World eventually formed a human Mind Net, allowing people to access the network and game through thought without equipment 3. Its influence first appeared through retained skill movements and altered mental habits, then escalated into the manifestation of monsters and player powers in reality 83 144 185.

After the Mind Net's descent, Meta World was no longer treated merely as entertainment. Its equipment, Talents, monsters, currency, and player abilities reshaped real-world institutions and economies 185 206.

Interstellar Expansion

Meta World's signal later became accessible from the starry sky. Alien fleets and viewers discovered it as a Creation-level civilization populated by races, Deities, and players capable of acquiring Creation Abilities 485 486.

Yuan Yi subsequently considered expanding Meta World to encompass extraterrestrial life, harvest faith across the starry sky, and create new continents tailored to incoming players 483 485. The Four-Party Alliance of Earth, Sen Star, the Siren Civilization, and Meta World further accelerated this expansion 510.

World Structure

• The Yuan Continent's central and eastern regions are humanity's primary territories, while elves and orcs inhabit the north, Siren races inhabit the seas, and the Deities' kin occupy the southern scorched lands 23.
• Beneath the western-fantasy surface lies a vast underground world with Eastern mystical elements, including cultivation, five elements, secret arts, and mechanized ruins such as Mohist Dragon City 35 59.
• Meta World's background lore states that the Creator God's exhausted divine power became nourishment for other Deities and transformed into the rules governing the world 23.
• The seven major hostile Deities are Fear, Nightmare, Pleasure, Rage, Justice, Vengeance, and Death 16 23.
• These Deities are formed from humanity's negative emotions. They cannot be permanently destroyed while such emotions continue to exist 16 23.

Systems and Functions

Leveling and Life Levels

Meta World's central progression systems are leveling and Talents. Innate Talents are obtained through the initial draw, while the attributes and skills gained through leveling are considered Acquired Talents 15.

• Players choose Strength, Intelligence, or Balance as their attribute-development focus at creation 4.
• A Life Level determines the basic attribute growth gained on level-up; ordinary humans receive ten points in each basic attribute per level 5.
• Higher life forms possess substantially greater per-level attribute growth than ordinary humans 5.
• Quests are the primary source of experience for most players, more efficient than repeatedly killing ordinary monsters 104 138.
• Meta World later limits Adventurer's Guild daily quests to ten per player, preventing late entrants from easily overtaking the first generation of players 138.

Talents, Equipment, and Avatars

Talents and levels take priority over external equipment in Meta World's progression hierarchy 15 158.

• Talent Enhancement Chests can improve Talents or grant skills, making them highly coveted rewards 35.
• Item, skill, and equipment rarity ranks are White Common, Blue Excellent, Purple Rare, Red Legendary, Golden Epic, and Rainbow Mythic 4.
• Some items carry the Unique attribute, particularly Dimensional Avatar core items 4.
• The Dimensional Avatar Talent allows its user to transform using a corresponding core item and acquire that character's skill panel; game balance may modify the original character abilities 4 489.
• Avatar states normally restrict the user to that Avatar's own equipment and skills, preventing unrelated main-body equipment from functioning while transformed 7.

Reality Interface

Meta World progressively erodes the boundary between virtual and physical existence.

• Players can retain system-guided combat movements and reproduce them instinctively in reality 83 126.
• The Mind Net lets most players summon the Meta World system panel in the real world 185.
• Certain players whose bodies merged with their game characters can travel between Meta World and reality more freely 178.
• Meta World equipment and abilities can be used against monsters manifested in reality 105 185.
• The system can impose major restrictions or changes globally, including daily quest limits and temporary maintenance updates 138.

Relationships

• Elysia / Yuan Yi — Meta World's Creator God. Elysia created its initial framework through the laws of creation, while Yuan Yi later oversees expansion and faith collection 404 417 483.
• Human Race — Meta World's spiritual origin and first player population; human consciousness and emotion strongly shape its development 3.
• Seven Evil Deities — Its principal hostile boss entities, born from humanity's negative emotions and constrained by Meta World's governing rules 16 23.
• Earth Civilization — Meta World's first civilization-scale user base; its descent transforms Earth's economy, security, and social order 185 206.
• Extraterrestrial civilizations — Later entrants who access Meta World through its star-network signal in pursuit of Creation Ability 485 486.
• Siren Civilization and Sen Star Civilization — Allied civilizations that provide resources and support Meta World's accelerated development 508 510.
