Mahamara

***Hajun’s Great Tengu Realm of Avarice**Mahamara*** (*波旬大欲界天狗道マハーマーラ', Hajun Dai Yokukai TengudouMahāmāra*) also known as the Sixth Heaven. The world ruled by Hajun. The setting of Kajiri Kamui Kagura.

Brought into existence by the Samsara Vartin, who were both bored with and persecuted by the Fifth Heaven, the resulting God was the strongest soul to ascend to the Throne. However, unknowingly neglecting to kill all of the members of the Fifth Heaven's guardians set the stage for its stalling and eventual downfall. Tenma Yato even managed to stop this world from completing itself for 8000 years.

However, even with its law stopped, its effects were felt across Ashihara no Nakatsukuni (mainly in Shinshuu, where the remnants of humanity resided). People in this world became full of self-love to the point of narcissism. For example, a male lover sacrificing himself to save his beloved woman harbors the thought “I died protecting my woman, I’m so wonderful” and the woman thinks “I mourn the death of my lover, I’m so wonderful”. There is no idea of ​​working hard to create good things, and the development of civilization is very slow. Actions can seem altruistic on the outside, but are still self-serving and without any soul at all. For this reason, it is impossible to attain Hegemony-type Craving. People under the world of Tengu will naturally become Transcendence type.

It's in this exact world that the Eastern Expedition and the Yatsukahagi are pitted against each other, and when the former proves victorious over the latter, the true law of Tengudou resume. All living beings, regardless of their scale and family relation, began to kill each other. From humans, to animals and even insects. A world filled with slaughter and exclusion. Furthermore, since the soul itself can’t exist in this world, death is absolutely irreversible, without a chance of reincarnation. Because of the omnipresent wilderness, new life can’t be produced and the progress of civilization is stopped. With the universe itself shrinking down, it reduced the very possibility that new souls can be born. It was described as a world that would put Hell itself to shame, filled with billions of Śṛgālas (terminals of Hajun’s power, AKA mooks) and tens of thousands of pseudo-Transcendence Gods massacring creation and themselves until nothing remains in the end.
