Biodata
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Maria World (玛利亚世界) |
| Species/Race | Plane world |
| Status | Extant; expanded into a seven-continent world |
| First Appearance | Chapter 15 |
Background / History
Lu Zhiyu created Maria World inside the Universe Scroll after its internal plane expanded into a vast space. He established land, sky, oceans, a sun, moon, stars, gravity, air, clouds, and wind, then named it after Maria, the Goddess of Light 15.
Its early ecosystem began with accelerated plant growth. Lu Zhiyu subsequently introduced animals and other organisms to establish a complete, self-sustaining environment capable of supporting freely living lifeforms 15 16. Beastmen were the first life to appear, while humans became a principal force behind civilization; Magic Beasts marked the beginning of extraordinary life, and dragons became the source of the divine arts system 334.
Maria World's early civilizations rose and disappeared rapidly under its accelerated time flow. By the time Lu Zhiyu revisited the Golden City after two weeks on Earth, hundreds of years had passed within Maria World; the Golden Dynasty, its palaces, and the Temple of Light had already fallen into ruins 35.
Lu Zhiyu later developed Maria World into the foundation of a divine kingdom. He created the Magic Network to connect lifeforms across the world to one-dimensional channels and the Zero-Dimension World, while retaining 60% of the Source Substance extracted through it 52. The system fostered the growth of wizardry, divine arts, and competing extraordinary traditions 234.
Appearance
Maria World is an enclosed, earthlike plane protected by a Plane Wall composed of layered spatial folds. Its celestial bodies are contained within those folds and follow predetermined orbits, producing daylight, seasons, tides, and other fundamental cycles 109.
- Landmasses, oceans, atmosphere, clouds, and wind were directly established during its creation 15.
- Its sun illuminates both the world’s interior and portions of the space beyond its spatial folds 109.
- The Silver Moon became the foundation of Divine Kingdom Gaia, Maria World's original divine kingdom mainframe 110 253.
- Maria World originally possessed five continents; the absorbed Rhode Plane and Thunder Plane later became Rhode Continent and Thunder Continent, raising the total to seven 438.
- Its Plane Wall contains Star Divine Kingdoms, subordinate divine kingdoms, demiplanes, floating islands, spell gardens, airships, and mythic starships 438.
Cosmology and Governing Systems
Plane Wall
Maria World's Plane Wall naturally formed when Lu Zhiyu created the world. Its layered spatial folds can trap anyone attempting to leave by ordinary travel, while also containing the world’s sun, moon, and stars 109.
Divine Kingdoms and Divine Seats
Divine Seats partition the rule authorities that stabilize Maria World, including domains connected to space, the sun, seasons, time, death, the ocean, and earth 248. A being who merges their soul into the Divine Kingdom can receive a portion of the world's authority, but must be at least a level-seven Mythical Wizard to occupy a Divine Seat 153.
- Divine Kingdom Gaia — The original mainframe divine kingdom, formed from Gaia and the Silver Moon; it organizes world information and controls rule authority 246 253.
- Star Divine Kingdoms — Stellar divine kingdoms governed by true gods, each capable of functioning as an aerial war fortress as well as a divine realm 253.
- World Tree Model — The structural model supporting Maria World and linking its divine offices. Its branches eventually spread throughout every part of the world 326 407.
- Seventeen Divine Seats — The world possesses seventeen divine thrones. Eleven had been filled by the beginning of the later Age of Gods, while the final vacant seat was filled by the Goddess of Fate 349 409.
World Consciousness
Maria World's collective consciousness eventually manifested as Natasha. Her form and gender were shaped by the name “Maria,” as that was how the world's inhabitants imagined their world 408.
Natasha was born as a level-seven mythical lifeform and represented the will of Maria World itself. Her incorporation into the divine system was necessary for the world to become a complete kingdom of gods 408.
Civilization and Society
Maria World developed multiple intelligent races and civilizations, including humans, Beastmen, Elves, Fishmen, Goblins, dragons, and Magic Beasts 302 334 438.
Extraordinary Power
- Wizard civilization — Established to explore extraordinary powers; Bloodline Wizards, Dream Wizards, Necromancer Wizards, alchemists, and later mages all developed within Maria World 52 109 234 334.
- Divine arts — Priests and Temple Knights gained access to divine arts through Divine Art Seeds and systems maintained through the Divine Kingdom 234 264.
- Gods and Divine Clerics — The gods' rule authority increasingly restricted the freedom of extraordinary beings as the world’s laws became more complete 316.
- Magic Crystal technology — The world eventually entered a highly developed Magic Crystal Age, supporting intercontinental transport, airships, spatial portals, floating islands, and systematized cities 360 389 438.

| Magic Crystal Age | Steam, alchemy, magic crystals, air travel, and later spatial portal networks transformed society 303 360 389. |
| Era of Space and Exploration | The Rhode Plane’s absorption encouraged the exploration and construction of further demiplanes 388 389. |

Major Arcs
Creation and Ecological Development
Maria World began as a newly configured plane within the Universe Scroll. Lu Zhiyu established its basic physical rules, planted its first flora, and began importing organisms to create a complete ecosystem 15 16.
Establishment of the Divine Kingdom
Lu Zhiyu transformed Gaia into the prototype of a Divine Kingdom by embedding it within Maria World's moon. Gaia was intended to absorb compatible consciousnesses, replace the moon, and become the Silver Moon and Divine Kingdom of Maria World 110.
As the Divine Kingdom grew, Divine Seats were created to distribute authority over the world's rules among qualified gods 153 248.
Completion of the Divine System
The divine system steadily eliminated loopholes in Maria World's rules and imposed increasingly comprehensive restrictions over extraordinary beings 316. The final necessary component arrived when Natasha, the world's own consciousness, ascended as the Goddess of Fate 408 409.
Judgment Day and the Rhode Plane
The Death Omen Plane threatened to collide with Maria World, an event expected to devastate the main world and kill all non-divine life 382. Rhode redirected the plane at the last moment, allowing it to brush past Maria World rather than collide with it 388.
Lu Zhiyu then captured and merged the Rhode Plane into Maria World as a demiplane. Its laws, ecology, native creatures, and floating islands gradually assimilated into the larger world 388 389.
Seven Continents and Astral Expansion
Maria World later absorbed both the Rhode Plane and Thunder Plane, turning its original five continents into seven 438. With its population and number of Divine Clerics exceeding the world's capacity, Maria World launched an Astral expansion campaign to seek new territory and opportunities beyond its Plane Wall 449.
Relationships
- Lu Zhiyu — Creator of Maria World; initially controlled its rules through the Universe Scroll and later used it as the foundation of his divine kingdom and path toward becoming the Creator 15 313 411.
- Gaia — Divine Kingdom mainframe constructed within the Silver Moon; it organizes world information and administers rule authority 110 246 253.
- Natasha / Goddess of Fate — Maria World's manifested collective consciousness and final god; her ascension completed the divine system 408 409.
- The Seventeen Gods — Divine Seat holders who govern the world's laws, material systems, energy, space, time, souls, and desires 349 407.
- Rhode Plane — Former collision threat that was captured and assimilated as a demiplane within Maria World 388 389.
- Thunder Plane — A later absorbed plane that became Thunder Continent 438.
Trivia
- Maria World was named after “Maria, the Goddess of Light,” despite Lu Zhiyu initially using the name as a joke 15 408.
- Lu Zhiyu considered Maria World his initial world model when designing later worlds 313.
- Once its divine system became sufficiently complete, the world’s information could be treated like a save file: theoretically paused, rewound, fast-forwarded, or reshaped by the Creator 398.
