What happen before the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven create Samsara?

Beings, Samsara rolls on driven by craving and ignorance. A beginning point can not be traced... If wishing to use a synonym, Mara, for this very "craving and ignorance", inwardly, outwardly, it, the Buddhas state on the issue "begining", should fit for a clear answer.

This is an understandable confusion of 2 mythical concepts:
[Samsara] is the wheel of rebirth, divided into 6 realms:
- Niraya (hell)
- Preta (hungry ghosts)
- Tiryak (animals )
- Manushya (humans)
- Asura (demi-gods)
- Devas (deities)
The Six Heavens of the World of Desire are 6 places between earth and the Brahma heaven:
- Chatur-maharaja-kayika (Heaven of the 4 heavenly kings)
- Trayatrimsha (Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods)
- Yama Heaven
- Tushita (Heaven of Contentment)
- Nirmanarati (Heaven of Enjoying the Conjured)
- Paranirmita-vasha-vartin (Heaven of Freely Enjoying Things Conjured by Others)
The “Heaven of the Devil King” (Māra in Sanskrit) resides in Paranirmita-vasha-vartin. Māra enjoys making free use of the desires of others to manipulate and control others according to their own will. The founder of the Nichiren lineage wrote:
This world is the province of the Devil of the Sixth Heaven. All of its people have been his karmic associates since time without beginning
Since manipulating someone's desire will have karmic consequences, this can be associated with Samsara, but the Devil King did not create Samsara, nor is it recorded who is assumed to have created the Six Heavens.
