Geography and Cosmology

• Midgard lies at the center of the World Tree and is described as its largest world. Its position makes it strategically vital to both the Divine Realm above and the Giant Kingdom below. 79 182
• The ancient War of the Giants began over control of Midgard; the gods and giants ultimately withdrew and continued their rivalry through proxy wars involving their created races. 75
• The Qin Ai Sea is one of Midgard's major landmarks and the site of several decisive conflicts. 87 122 182
• Mount Everlasting bears a colossal Hero King statue and remains a widely recognized landmark. 194
• The Midgard World Gate once stood as a radiant pillar between heaven and earth, displaying the world's laws and myriad phenomena. The gods later sealed it with golden divine chains to isolate Midgard from other realms. 194 195
• The World Gate was destroyed by a single arrow during Locke's emergence, then its former site was converted into a fortified commercial hub connecting peoples from different realms. 253 303

History

Early Era

Midgard became the central prize of the gods and giants after its appearance. Their struggle for it lasted thousands of years before ending in stalemate, with both sides relying on their respective races to compete for influence. The God of Wisdom Pro created humans at the roots of the World Tree during this broader conflict. 75

During the gods' recovery and the giants' seclusion, humanity multiplied across Midgard. Human civilization remained organized around city-states rather than unified nations, though it developed spiritual objects, paper, magic devices, martial techniques, and specialized mounted orders. Humans nevertheless continued to struggle against magical beasts and other hostile races. 15 79

Sumerian Era

Gilgamesh's rise transformed Midgard's political order. After forging the Carnage Sword and entering the Legendary realm, he began ruling the world and openly preparing a rebellion against the gods. 83

His dynasty expanded through war, bloodline experimentation, and the construction of wonders and temples. These policies produced new professions, most notably Bloodline Sorcerers, but also caused heavy casualties and unrest among Midgard's humans. 102

The Sumerian Dynasty ended after Gilgamesh's final attack brought down the Divine Realm and created the Underworld. The destruction of the dynasty marked the close of an era lasting sixty-six years. 140

Decline and Warring States Period

Afra's self-destruction damaged Midgard's rank and destroyed nearby city-states. The world’s laws automatically worked to repair the resulting void black hole. 136 137

The opening of the Hill Magic Box further altered Midgard's laws. Gods lost their former immortality, new tribulations appeared, and the world entered a prolonged Warring States Period marked by competing city-states, rising Epic experts, divine beasts, and gods seeking faith in the mortal realm. 141 147

The gods exerted political control through churches, holy armies, and the “Gods' Game,” in which human kingdoms and heroes were treated as pieces in divine contests. 251

War of the Three Realms and Reconstruction

The War of the Three Realms was centered on Midgard. Its peoples united with dragons, treants, dwarves, Titan Giants, and other races to resist divine rule. 288 292

Human King Locke destroyed the World Gate, led the resistance, and fought multiple Sovereign Gods. The rebellion's victory ended the Old Gods' reign and began the Silver Age. 289 300

After the war, Midgard underwent broad reconstruction. Different races participated in rebuilding its cities, the church's rule collapsed, and a major slave uprising accelerated the transition from slavery toward feudal society. 300 302

Later Developments

Ning Tianjiao's Demon Gathering Towers were constructed across city-states and villages. Their network improved cultivation efficiency, enabled long-range communication, harvested ambient mental energy, and formed the foundation of the Magic Net. 304 513

In a later period of renewed division, the Violet Kingdom, Lion Kingdom, Magic Empire, and Saint Adan Free Federation became Midgard's four dominant powers. 354

Prince Charlotte's Undead Cataclysm temporarily changed Midgard's world attributes: a blood-red sea consumed life across the land and transformed its victims into undead. Angel ultimately purified the catastrophe through the Holy Sword's thirteenth seal. 414 415

Civilization and Inhabitants

• Humans — Midgard's largest and most widespread race. Their high reproductive capacity, adaptability, and talent allowed them to establish city-states, dynasties, kingdoms, and successive human-led resistance movements. 79 145 189
• Dwarves — Renowned craftspeople whose forging shaped Midgard's divine artifacts, magical infrastructure, armor, and the Savior used in the War of the Three Realms. 300 410
• Orcs — A major power created through divine experiments merging human and beast-race advantages. 145
• Dragons, Treants, magical beasts, and other races — Major participants in Midgard's wars, reconstruction, and later integrated societies. 292 300
• Undead — Became a world-scale threat during Charlotte's cataclysm, which transformed millions of living beings into undead through the spreading Sea of Blood. 414

World Laws and Power System

• Midgard's power hierarchy includes Saint, Legendary, and Epic ranks. Postnatally born beings require a Domain to enter the Legendary realm. 84
• Legendary Domains are formed from distinct Laws, with recorded examples including Light, Slaughter, Darkness, and Wind God Domains. 84
• Midgard's incomplete tiers were progressively filled as Legendary experts emerged; later, more beings broke into the Epic realm through different paths. 84 147
• The world possesses an origin capable of reacting to catastrophic damage. Midgard's origin cried out when the God King released his full strength, and its laws attempted to repair Afra's void scar. 137 180
• The World Gate manifested Midgard's laws and phenomena, but its origin information could only be directly captured by a Sovereign-level being. 195

Infrastructure

Demon Gathering Towers

• Towers were built throughout major city-states, remote settlements, and villages under Ning Tianjiao's plan. 304
• Within a tower's range, cultivation becomes twice as effective. 304
• Their interconnected network gathers ambient mental energy and converts it into stored, usable power. 304 513

Magic Net

• The Magic Net enables users to communicate and access uploaded magic formulas through contribution-based use. 304
• Even ordinary people can cast magic through the network when within its coverage. 304
• Mages can perform major spells with reduced personal mental expenditure by drawing on the Magic Net's stored energy. 513

Relationships

• World Tree Lahil — Midgard's nurturing World Tree and the being that carries it; Lahil's growth and the world's development are interconnected. 79 303
• Divine Realm — The upper realm that repeatedly sought to control Midgard, harvested its resources, imposed religious rule, and fought its inhabitants in the War of the Three Realms. 182 185 288
• Giant Kingdom — The lower neighboring realm; its connection to Midgard was heavily restricted by the gods through the sealed World Gate. 182 194
• Underworld — Formed when the fallen Divine Realm became the World Tree's lowest realm, completing a new cycle of life and death affecting Midgard's beings. 140
• Humanity and the myriad races — Midgard's inhabitants, whose alliances and conflicts repeatedly determine the world's political and spiritual direction. 145 292 300
