Oxia
Last updated 2026-08-07
Oxia is a city in the Antares region of the Lunae continent on Mars.[1][2] It is one of the main settings for the Tides of Time Gone By arc of the story.
Description
Nestled in the vast Sea of Data, Oxia stands as a lone island city, proudly upholding and recounting the Luoxing culture. As Luoxing crumbled, the people of Oxia rooted themselves in the Sea of Data to build a fresh civilization and order. Today, the scars left by the Great Eruption have faded with time. Thanks to the Sea of Data, Oxia has blossomed into a thriving, modern metropolis.[3]
Oxia is a Bubble Universe that resides within the Sea of Data—a quantum space[4] that surrounds the fourth planet from the sun of the Solar System, Mars.[5] It is one of the only cities in the Antares region to have survived the Great Eruption, excluding its neighbor, Langqiu.[2] However, it was not the Great Eruption that split Oxia and Langqiu apart; rather, it was the Seven Shus who caused the division, placing the Curse of Shadows within the isolated Langqiu.[6]
Oxia as a city relies on Source Matter for development.[7] It essentially runs the daily lives of those in Oxia, with even their natural gas and food[8] being refined from it.[9]

History
The history of Mars is documented using different calendars. The history that is recorded using the Earthian calendar uses the 365/366 days, 12 months in a year format, while history recorded using the Martian Old Calendar uses a strict 668 days, 18 months in a year format, and history recorded using Mars's current calendar (Era of Relocation) uses the 668/669 days, 18 months a year format.[23] Because of this, the calendar differences are specified for each entry via the Earthian years, Old Calendar, and Era of Relocation.

- We have no way of knowing the fate of other cities—at least, the Sea of Data that appeared before our ancestors is constantly eroding the land beneath our feet. In just a few months, Minghai and Baiyu had turned into ruins, and the surviving Langqiu and Oxia were also on the brink of destruction.
