The "Next World" is the place where people go when they die. it is based on the belief that one has an immortal soul that lives forever in some form. After one dies the soul might go to a world of infinite reward or infinite punishment depending on if the believer met the qualifications in this life.
It might also mean a person's next incarnation, that if you are a good person in this life then the next time you will come back as a better person, or excape the reincarnation cycle altogether.
Belief in the next world is considered to be a Distraction by Realists in that we are focused on this world and this reality that we actually all are part of and that unless science discovers an afterlife the next world is a Waste of Neurons.
