History

Origins

Yuan Ancestor founded the Virtual Universe Company and led its lineage during humanity’s early history, while also guiding Giant Axe. The Five Great Powers were not yet distinct organizations; that division developed as successive Universe Masters established forces specializing in different fields 108 112.

Sponsorship of Zhou Lin

At the beginning of the story, the company has already used nutrient vats to raise Zhou Lin to Ninth Stage Cosmic Level. His completion of the Death Star Desperate-level mission draws attention from company officials, his fellow Genius Battle participants, and the Universe Venerable responsible for their generation 1 7.

Zhou Lin subsequently clears the Cosmic-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain and becomes a Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord. The company appoints him Supervisory Envoy of its Luojin Branch, giving him regional oversight and a succession of assessment missions 9 14 17.

As his strength grows, company leadership takes measures to protect his identity. For his Outer Domain Battlefield deployment, he receives a fabricated record under the identity of the deceased Marquis Beichen, while company intervention allows him to bypass standard military registration procedures 60.

Relationship with the Void Realm Eradication Company

Zhou Lin proposes an assassin company attached to the Virtual Universe Plane rather than immediately establishing an independent great power. The City Master of Chaos questions its potential effect on public order, and the proposal subsequently passes a vote 84 85.

The resulting Void Realm Eradication Company is initially registered under the Virtual Universe Company. Zhou Lin owns 90%, while the Virtual Universe Company receives 10% in exchange for virtual-plane access and other services. Its operations connect to the Virtual Universe Intelligence System 85 86.

When Zhou Lin’s faction is recognized as humanity’s prospective sixth great power, the Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Fighting Arena each commit 100 Universe Countries to his command. Palace Master Tianshi nevertheless chooses to remain with the Virtual Universe Company 127 128.

Much later, the Genius Battle rotates between the Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Fighting Arena, and Void Realm Company. Recruits from all three first enter Chaos City before proceeding to their respective secret realms 167.

Organization and Authority

Territorial Administration

• Shared governance of humanity: Before the allocation to Zhou Lin, the company and Giant Axe Fighting Arena each govern half of humanity’s 1,008 Universe Countries. The other three original great powers operate within those countries but lack equivalent authority over their affairs 112 127.
• Regional branches: Universe Countries have company branches headed by powerful magnates. King Wuxing is a leading figure in the Luojin Branch 14.
• Supervisory Envoys: Primal Secret Realm Domain Lords can be assigned to oversee regional branches. Such appointments are rare; when Zhou Lin receives his post, only seven Primal Secret Realm Domain Lords exist, including himself and Kedi 14.
• Ganwu exception: Lord Ganwu is himself a company member, and the Ganwu Branch magnates belong to his subordinates. Its relatively poor circumstances distinguish it from ordinary branches, where magnate positions would not normally go to Marquis Immortals 14.

Enforcement and Political Judgment

The company assigns missions against both alien enemies and offenders within humanity. Its intelligence department supplies evidence, while higher authorities evaluate how members interpret that evidence and exercise their authority 17 21 22.

During the Myriad Gods Hall investigation, Zhou Lin is authorized to try three Immortal princes of the Luojin royal family. The company approves his decision to imprison two for a billion years each and condemn the suspected alien servant Apolshido to death. Its evaluation values both correct intelligence analysis and consideration for Venerable Luojin’s standing; Zhou Lin recognizes that indiscriminately sentencing all three to death would have violated the leadership’s preference for compromise 20 22.

Talent Development

Training by Cultivation Stage

Member Stage	Training or Assignment	Conditions
Cosmic Level	Missions and trials	Members undertake assignments of varying danger to gain experience and resources 12.
Domain Lord	Regional administration	Members are sent to oversee a region as Great Officials of the Frontier and receive additional assessment missions 12 17.
Realm Lord	Life-and-death trials	Mandatory for every company genius, without exception; destinations can include Cosmic Secret Realms or the Outer Domain Battlefield 43 45.

Selection, Competition, and Support

• Genius Battles: The company recruits and supervises promising cultivators through Genius Battles. Star Lord Tianyan presides over Zhen Yan’s generation 131.
• Secret Realm Qualification Battles: Held once a century, these competitions allow capable core members to enter better secret realms 8.
• Tongtian Mountain: An alternative challenge used to demonstrate exceptional ability. Zhou Lin chooses it rather than going through the qualification battle; his associated points cannot be redeemed until the Realm Lord stage 8 12.
• Cultivation resources: Support includes nutrient vats, purchasable techniques, points-funded resources, guards, and spacecraft 1 3 8 12.
• Risk monitoring: When Zhou Lin accepts an exceptionally dangerous mission, the Virtual Universe System informs King Fengyan in the background. The stated purpose is to distinguish meaningful tempering from effectively certain death 2.
• Performance-based investment: Greater demonstrated potential brings greater resources and protection, as shown by leadership’s response to Zhou Lin’s growing strength 60 84.

Technology and Services

Virtual Universe Platform

• Communication: Members exchange emails, make calls, transmit coordinates, and broadcast real-world battles 93 107 111.
• Virtual combat: Challenges and sparring can test techniques, skill, and law comprehension. At Universe Master-level combat, treasures and divine bodies cannot be fully simulated, making real-world sparring necessary to determine overall strength 8 111.

• Advertising: Zhou Lin pays ten trillion Hun Yuan units for recruitment advertisements shown throughout the Virtual Universe, including inside virtual games 86.

• Surveillance reach: The Virtual Universe is described as capable of monitoring even beings who do not use a network 87.
• Access restrictions: Information availability depends on clearance; Zhou Lin cannot access higher-level intelligence about the Tiwala Tribe during his visit 24.
• Personnel supervision: Guards serving Zhou Lin operate under company monitoring and can face enforcement for misconduct 3.

Transportation and Engineering

• High-speed spacecraft: Company vessels travel through the Dark Universe at fifty times light speed on documented missions 17 24.
• Concealment technology: Zhou Lin’s mission ship cannot be detected by the Myriad Gods Hall’s senior leadership 17.
• Custom spacecraft enhancement: His F-grade metal ship, costing over eight million points, bears company-inscribed Secret Runes and can easily kill ordinary Realm Lords 45.
• Large-scale construction resources: The company sells Zhou Lin the methods and materials used to build his 36-light-year-wide headquarters continent, at a cost equivalent to ten top-tier Heavy Treasures 128.

Commerce and Assets

• Technique exchange: Cultivation manuals are available through points or money. Even Palace Master Tianshi must use points to obtain techniques 8 12.
• Advanced weapons: Zhou Lin purchases a Black Hole Weapon from the company for 23 trillion Hun Yuan units 70.
• Equity investment: Its initial 10% stake in the Void Realm Eradication Company covers platform and service charges 85.
