The Matter Settled, Heading to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters
Back at the villa.
Yang Yu invited Fengling Yue, and together they boarded a spaceship and returned to Earth.
After handing over a large amount of treasures and resources, as well as control of the twenty Universe Level 8 slaves, to his grandfather, Yang Yu summoned all the current high-ranking officials of Huaxia.
He informed them about the establishment of the Huaxia Genius Cultivation Foundation.
This move was naturally very popular.
The resolution was passed quickly.
Yang Yu then kept the Martial Artist and Spirit Reader who had reached the Planetary Level behind, warning them not to reveal their special mental states and willpower in the future.
Hong and the others kept in mind Yang Yu's warning, given that Yang Yu was the first and strongest person to come into contact with the universe.
With the treasures and resources provided by Yang Yu, as well as the financial subsidies and guidance from the foundation, they wouldn't encounter any difficulties in their early cultivation stages.
I readily agreed to this request.
He also stated that he would give the same advice to future geniuses.
After taking care of these matters, Yang Yu once again boarded a spaceship and arrived at Cangming Planet. At this time, the spaceship of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters was about to arrive.
Three days later.
Above the castle on the Pampas Grassland.
A spaceship shaped like a sword, about 600 meters long, 100 meters wide, and nearly 100 meters thick, is docked there.
The spaceship was entirely black, and one could faintly sense its ancient aura from its presence.
"The Guiyan Stone Mother! This is F-grade Spaceship forged by the Guiyan Stone Mother!" Babata exclaimed in his Consciousness Sea. Of course, this was only a fragment of Babata's consciousness.
In his words, Yang Yu, as Registered Disciple of their Yunmo Planet Lineage, has now joined the Virtual Universe Company and become a true Core Member, so he naturally wants to go and see for himself.
This will lay the foundation for cultivating core Heir in the future.
Yang Yu naturally wouldn't refuse, since even a sliver of consciousness from Sentient AI is far more useful than Smart Brain.
"What's so surprising? A behemoth like Virtual Universe Company, even a single hair of its is thicker than the God of the Ganwu Universe Country. This is just a small matter," Yang Yu said with a smile in his mind, before slowly flying to the ancient spaceship.
At that moment, a group of people flew out of the spaceship.
The leader, a man who looked almost exactly like Earthlings, wore Black Battle Suit, had a lean build, exceptionally bright eyes, and exuded an extremely powerful aura.
Immortal!
Moreover, it's a very powerful kind of immortality.
Yang Yu was secretly shocked; this was the first time he had ever seen an immortal in reality.
"Luo Si greets Your Highness," the lean man said with a smile, his voice seeming to come from a great distance, yet also as if he were appearing right before your eyes.
This feeling was extremely strange.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Behind Luo Si, a group of World Lord and Domain Lord also bowed respectfully to Yang Yu.
"No need to be so polite, everyone," Yang Yu said with a smile, waving for them to stand up.
"Your Highness has a remarkable composure. Shall we depart now?" Luo Si said with a smile. For Star Level being to remain so calm under his immortal aura was indeed impressive. "It takes about three years to get to the company headquarters from here; we're pressed for time."
"Okay, let's go!"
Yang Yu then flew into the F-grade Spaceship amidst the respectful support of a group of people.
The spaceship has a large interior space. The 'guard' area of the entire War Sword spaceship is the main compartment of the power module, and there are also some compartments that almost fill the entire lower level of the spaceship.
At this moment, Yang Yu was in a very spacious and luxurious hall on the upper level of the spaceship, which was 300 meters long and 60 meters wide.
Comfortable sofas, fine wines, and rare spiritual fruits were already laid out, with a large number of beautiful maids waiting to give orders.
"Your Highness, please sit," Luo Si said with a smile.
Yang Yu and Luo Si then sat down facing each other.
"Let me introduce myself first." Luo Si poured Yang Yu some fine wine. "I, Luo Si, am currently an Immortal in the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, with the title 'Liefeng Marquis'!"
"Marquis Level expert!" Babata's surprised voice echoed in Yang Yu's Consciousness Sea. "They actually sent Marquis Level immortal to escort you. This Virtual Universe Company really values you."
"It's not strange, but there might be other reasons," Yang Yu said to Babata in his mind.
"Hello Luo Si," Yang Yu said with a smile. "May I ask who your teacher is, Luo Si?"
"Haha, it seems Your Highness has already guessed," Luo Si laughed. "My teacher is the King Fengyun, and his teacher is Venerable Gui Yi!"
"I see." Yang Yu understood upon hearing this.
Sure enough, Luo Si's background was not simple either.
"Speaking of which, Your Highness and I are from the same school. Strictly speaking, Your Highness is my grand-uncle." Luo Si said with a bright smile.
"Haha, not entirely yet. Luo Si, you can just call me by my first name," Yang Yu laughed.
"That won't do. I must address you Your Highness. Once you formally become a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, you will be my true grandmaster-uncle." Luo Si quickly refused. "I believe that day will come soon!"
"Thank you for your kind words." Yang Yu raised his glass and clinked it with Luo Si's.
He then looked around the Spaceship Hall. "This place is nice. This F-class spaceship, entirely forged from Guiyan Stone Mother, is a real treasure!"
"Your Highness has excellent taste." Luo Si's smile widened.
"This is forged from F6-grade metal Guiyan Stone Mother, capable of withstanding attacks from immortal beings head-on. The edges of the spaceship are further reinforced with Origin Law, making it incredibly sharp. At high speeds, it could pierce through a planet, leaving no trace, without significantly affecting its speed."
"It's really good." Yang Yu nodded.
"Your Highness, let's enter the Virtual Universe together," Luo Si said with a smile. "I'll take you to our company's Virtual Headquarters."
"Oh?" Yang Yu's eyes lit up. "Finally, I can truly get a glimpse of what Virtual Universe Company is all about."
By this time, the spaceship had already entered the Dark Universe, and its speed was constantly increasing, reaching nearly 20 times the Light Speed, and then it continued to move forward at this constant speed in the Dark Universe.
Yang Yu entered the most comfortable and luxurious lounge on the spaceship, and then his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe Network.
Now that Yang Yu is Core Member, and even the most core Primal Secret Realm Member, the Virtual Assistant 'Babata' has automatically gained a function: once inside the Virtual Universe, it can be directly teleported to a special plane within the Virtual Universe.
"Teleport!"
Call!
Yang Yu disappeared inside the villa in the Xinghai Residential Complex of Qiu Long City.
Virtual Headquarters Plane.
This is a suspended mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist.
The mountain was enormous, even larger than an ordinary planet in reality. A figure suddenly appeared on one of the bluestone paths on the mountain; it was Yang Yu.
"Hmm?" Yang Yu looked around.
There were many people in the distance along this street, and buildings in the distance, with beautiful villas on the left.
"Your Highness." A figure ran towards them from a distance on the street; it was Luo Si.
"Luo Si," Yang Yu called out with a smile.
"Your Highness," the lean man chuckled, "This entire Plane Space is our Virtual Universe Company's 'Virtual Headquarters.' In fact, compared to the real headquarters, the Virtual Headquarters is much more bustling. That's because many important figures can't stay in the real headquarters all the time."
"Mm." Yang Yu nodded.
"Come."
The lean man led Yang Yu on a tour, saying, "This mountain peak suspended in the clouds is called 'Yuxiang Mountain,' and Yuxiang Mountain diameter is approximately 89,000 kilometers."
"So big?" Yang Yu exclaimed in surprise.
It's worth noting that the Earth's diameter is only a little over 10,000 kilometers, while this mountain peak's diameter is nearly seven times that of the Earth.
With such a large diameter, the surface area must be even larger.
"Of course it needs to be bigger, otherwise there won't be enough training grounds." The lean man said with a smile, "The entire Yuxiang Mountain is divided into five areas: the 'Primal Region,' the 'Taichu Region' Heaven and Earth Region,' the 'Endless Region,' and the 'Public Region.' These five areas are all about the same size."
"The population of the Primal Region does not exceed 120."
"The Taichu Region has approximately one thousand people."
"The Heaven and Earth Region has approximately ten thousand people."
"The Endless Region has tens of millions of people," the lean man said. "As for the Public Region, it includes commerce, entertainment, and so on. People from all four zones can enter the Public Region. By the Your Highness, members of the Primal Region, the Taichu Region, the Heaven and Earth Region, and the Endless Region cannot enter other zones."
Yang Yu nodded slightly, but looked puzzled. "Luo Si, you said the five districts are roughly the same size, the Primal Region has less than 120 people, but the Endless Region has tens of millions?"
"That's status!" the lean man Luo Si exclaimed. "The headquarters selects some elites to enter the Core Layer, and they all go to the Endless Region. Some outstanding World Lord who are absorbed in also go to the Endless Region! The vast majority of the past Genius Competition and Strong Expert Competition are also held in the Endless Region, which is why the Endless Region has the largest population. The housing in the Endless Region consists of high-rise buildings, and each person is allocated an apartment."
Luo Si continued, "Our Virtual Universe Company normally recruits Core Member through three methods: first, through Genius Competition and Strong Expert Competition to select the most elite geniuses in the entire universe; second, through outstanding elites cultivated within the Virtual Universe Company itself; and third, through the recruitment of a small number of World Lord."
"Of course, there are other 'abnormal paths,' such as Your Highness, who entered the Primal Secret Realm through the most difficult 'Special Assessment.' Generally speaking, geniuses who enter through this method can at most enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the vast majority enter the Endless Secret Realm, which has caused the Endless Secret Realm to be 'overcrowded.'"
"So, in that case, everyone in the Heaven and Earth Region gets a villa."
"The Taichu Region has its own dedicated training grounds, study areas, and so on, which is quite luxurious."
"As for the top-tier Primal Region, there are no more than 120 people in total. They have built luxurious manors covering thousands of kilometers in diameter for each Primal Secret Realm Member. The manors have various cultivation facilities, Immortal Expert teachers who live there long-term, a large number of servants to serve them, and they can summon many sparring partners at any time." Luo Si's eyes were full of envy.
Yang Yu understood; indeed, hierarchical systems were everywhere.
The difference in welfare benefits is huge. In the Endless Region, people live in tenement buildings; in the Taichu Region Heaven and Earth Region, they live in villas; in the Primal Region, they live in manors with a diameter of thousands of kilometers built just for one person.
This is no longer just a manor; it's larger than a province on Earth before the Great Nirvana Period! Calling it a kingdom wouldn't be an exaggeration, and there are even 'immortal beings' stationed there as teachers.
"There are no more than 120 people in the Primal Region, and no more than 100 Primal Region World Lord among them. Each of these World Lords would be considered an invincible existence at the World Lord level in the universe," Luo Si laughed. "They are all true elites of our company, so it's not surprising that they receive such treatment."
Under Luo Si's guidance, Yang Yu gained a general understanding of the entire Yuxiang Mountain. This place was where the Core Layer members of the Virtual Universe Company, those below the Immortal level, were gathered...
Standing atop a steep rock, Luo Si pointed to a colossal island in the distance, shrouded in mist and surrounded by electric serpents.
"Look, that's Thunder Island, also known as 'Immortal Island,' a hundred or a thousand times larger than Yuxiang Mountain. All the immortals of the Virtual Universe Company generally reside there. If Yuxiang Mountain is the gathering place for Core Member 'below immortals' and a place for cultivating geniuses, then Thunder Island is the true gathering place for the strong and immortals."
"Hmm." Yang Yu looked at Thunder Island in the clouds and nodded slightly.
That place can be considered a Sacred Land for the entire Human Race in the universe.
Yuxiang Mountain is the gathering place for Core Member below the Immortal level.
Thunder Island, with a size exceeding a million Yuxiang Mountain, is the immortal center of the entire Virtual Universe Company and belongs to the highest power center.
Having thoroughly read the Original Work, Yang Yu also knew that below the mountainside of Thunder Island were the immortals below the Venerable, the mountainside was for the Venerable, and the summit was the residence of the Universe Overlord and the Universe Master.
"Your Highness, I will escort you to the Primal Region. Of course, I can only take you outside the Primal Region," Luo Si said with a smile. "The Primal Region has the best welfare conditions. Under normal circumstances, only one Star Level genius like this is born in more than a thousand Universe Country every ten thousand years."
"Let's go to the Primal Region!" Yang Yu was also full of anticipation.
Walking in the Public Region, you can see World Lord everywhere. You can see hundreds of World Lords at a glance, and 99% of them are recognized by the Origin Law, with various Origin Law marks on their foreheads.
"World Lord has gained the recognition of the Origin Law would be considered the strongest World Lord in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield," Yang Yu thought to himself. "But within a giant like the Virtual Universe Company, they barely qualify to enter the 'Endless Secret Realm.' There are probably hundreds of millions of World Lord who can't even get into the Core Layer!"
Looking at these, Babata was amazed. No wonder one of the three major rewards for being ranked in the top 1,000 of the Genius Competition Universe was becoming Core Member.
From the current perspective, becoming Core Member is what truly signifies joining the Virtual Universe Company.
A moment later, Yang Yu walked onto a wide and quiet bluestone path. Beside the path were flowerbeds, and the flowerbeds formed the Universal Language —'Primitive Primal Region' —through various flowers and plants.
"Drop!"
A faint glow flashed across Luo Si's body, and he could go no further. He cried out, "Your Highness, I can only take you this far. Follow this path; the area ahead is the Primal Region. Once Your Highness, Your Highness will be guided by designated personnel."
"Thanks, Luo Si." Yang Yu nodded with a smile. He then walked along the beautiful and quiet bluestone path, smelling the fragrance of grass and flowers. He quickened his pace slightly and half a minute later, he arrived at the entrance of the incredibly huge and luxurious 'Primal Region', a gate carved from ancient gray rock, magnificent, grand and elegant.
There were quite a few servants at the entrance, and when they saw Yang Yu arrive, one of the leaders immediately came forward to greet him.
