Nature and Structure
A Divine Domain of Main World New Gods combines the functions of a material plane and a Divine Kingdom. Living beings reside in its material plane; after death, believers enter its Divine Kingdom interface, where they may become Petitioners or reincarnate. The Divine Kingdom's total area matches that of the material plane. 12 15
Lin Xiao's early Divine Kingdom was mostly undeveloped despite matching the material plane in size. Its usable portion was only about the size of a football field, containing a crude palace for Lin Xiao's true form and several dozen Murloc Petitioners serving as guards. 15
Unlike a native God's fixed Divine Kingdom, a Divine Domain can contain both its believers and its Divine Kingdom, be summoned alongside its master, and help offset the rule suppression encountered when invading native Divine Kingdoms. 120
Major Regions
- Main Divine Domain — The principal living space for Lin Xiao's dependent races and the site of Naga City, Truth City, major miracle buildings, and later the core imperial settlement. 199 205 333 732
- Heaven Divine Domain — The upper realm used as the Church's center and holy land. 199 228
- Nether Domain — A lower realm intended to contain captives, demons, undead, and other beings unsuitable for the main realm. 199
- Four Elemental Divine Domains — Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water spaces established around the Main Divine Domain to develop elemental rules. 180 199
- Divine Kingdom — The afterlife layer connected to the realm, receiving the souls of Lin Xiao's dead believers. 12 468
Development
Lin Xiao initially developed the realm as a largely aquatic domain populated by Gray Mist Fishmen. He later introduced additional Fishmen through a Species Card, issued Divine Revelations through chosen leaders, and pursued a comprehensive development route rather than specializing purely in warfare or resource production. 5 26
The integration of the Ancient-quality Divine Domain Paradise radically improved the environment. Land became exceptionally fertile, vegetation and pasture flourished, and marine life rapidly spread across the seabed. Its ecosystem could support approximately 30,000 inhabitants before food shortages became a concern. 112 124
As the realm expanded, Lin Xiao established new population centers and infrastructure. The Wise Goblins' learning within the Truth Tower drove technological and civic development, transforming Naga City from a rough settlement into a more refined city and establishing Truth City around the tower. 187 205
During Lin Xiao's five-year separation from the Divine Domain, corrupted monsters slowed development and halted population growth. Pope Slarda preserved the believers' faith and organized resistance until Lin Xiao reconnected with the realm and prepared it for a full-scale war against a Nightmare Domain. 309
Later growth was accelerated by the Crystal Wall System Origin Core and vast injections of high-energy power. The expanded realm developed immense ancient forests, mountain ranges, heightened World Strength, and increasingly powerful native life. 281 704 732
Functions and Properties
Faith and Afterlife
- Supports Lin Xiao's Kin, whose faith generates Faith Power and Divinity for their god. 402 558
- Receives deceased believers into its Divine Kingdom layer, where they may become Petitioners or reincarnate as Divine Domain inhabitants. 12 468
- Can maintain a Church hierarchy, Pastors, holy sites, and organized religious authority. 192 546
Rule and Environmental Control
- Its owner may load cards, miracle buildings, species, classes, and environmental effects directly into the realm. 5 42 112 183
- The Crystal Wall System Origin Core stabilizes the realm, increases its spatial and Energy strength, permits unlimited card fusion, and continuously expands the Divine Domain. 609
- Its strengthened environment can increase the growth potential and adulthood strength of its Kin; Little Nagas, for example, reached Fifth Order rather than their original Fourth-Order adult standard. 732
Divine Domain Warfare
- A full connection between two Divine Domains initiates a life-or-death conflict in which the domains automatically attempt to devour one another's power. 309
- At the Demigod stage, the realm itself contributes to combat; a Divine Domain Son has an overwhelming home-field advantage inside their own Divine Domain. 477
- A large disparity in Divine Domain strength can cause weaker connected domains to tremble and impair their ability to resist. 478
- The realm can open Two Worlds Passages to deploy Kin into enemy domains or external planes. 477 552
Notable Structures and Integrations
- Divine Domain Paradise — Ancient Five-Star Environment Card that turned the realm into a highly fertile paradise and increased population growth, survival, lifespan, and Energy intensity. 112
- Crystal Wall System Origin Core — A repaired Origin Core Shell integrated into the Divine Domain; it provides a Crystal Wall, ongoing expansion, Tenth-Order space and Energy strength, and broad stat enhancements for Kin and believers. 609
- Truth Tower — Miracle building that supplies knowledge to the Wise Goblins and became a civic and educational center. 187 205
- Ancient Arena — Miracle building positioned near the Truth Tower and used as a major internal battle site. 124 187
- Transcendent Magic Net — A realm-spanning system allowing Kin to cast spells, Divine Arts, and Transcendent abilities according to their piety and personal strength. 732
- Divine Domain Gate — A gate through which Lin Xiao can summon Kin beyond the Divine Domain. 471
Inhabitants
- Asura Greater Nagas — Lin Xiao's core Kin; their population exceeded 1.05 million by this stage of development. 609
- Little Nagas — A rapidly growing Legendary species that reached more than 500 million individuals after the realm's vast expansion. 732
- Star Spirits — Magical Kin whose population reached 2.3 million. 732
- Red Furnace Clan — A major clan numbering 20 million. 732
- Gray Mist Fishmen — The Divine Domain's original core believers, later joined by Naga, Goblin, Dwarf, Elemental, and other populations. 5 23 187
Relationships
- Lin Xiao — Lord and creator of the Divine Domain; directs its development, grants Divine Revelations, and uses it as the foundation of his power. 3 309
- Slarda — First Saint and chief administrator during Lin Xiao's absences; commands the Church, mobilizes defenders, and conveys Lin Xiao's will throughout the realm. 309 704
- Jin Sisi — A True God whose avatar personally inspected the Divine Domain; her descent demonstrated the danger posed by a vastly stronger visitor's conflicting domain rules. 236
- Nightmare Child Zhu Lien — Enemy whose Nightmare Domain fully connected with Lin Xiao's Divine Domain, forcing a decisive domain war. 309
- Cao Yichen and Li Ran — Their weaker Divine Domains connected with Lin Xiao's and were suppressed by the greater strength of his realm. 477 478
