External Assignment, Decision-Maker of the Ganwu Branch
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Lei En responded loudly.
As she spoke, she glanced at Yang Yu a few more times.
Lei En wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that Yang Yu's demeanor seemed to have undergone some subtle change compared to six months ago.
This change is hard to describe, but it truly exists.
However, Lei En also knew that Peerless Genius like Yang Yu, who appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs, must have many secrets.
As Yang Yu's head guard and also from the same sect, his duty was naturally to do his best to protect Yang Yu.
After Lei En sent the message, the staff of the Virtual Universe Company stationed on the Wu Chen Continent rushed over.
"Your Highness Yang Yu, the Virtual Universe Network has detected through your network connection that you reached the Domain Lord Level six months ago. According to company regulations, we need to confirm this in the real world."
"Your Highness, please release your Origin Force and Mental Force, and grant me a drop of your blood," the head Black-robed Steward said respectfully.
"No problem."
Yang Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
It took the three Black-robed Steward a few minutes to confirm that Yang Yu had indeed broken through to the Domain Lord.
"Put away the testing equipment," the head Black-robed Steward continued.
"Blood Gene Test confirms that Your Highness's body can be directly enhanced to the Domain Lord Nine. Furthermore, all this testing information has been simultaneously transmitted into the Virtual Universe Network. Congratulations, Your Highness, on reaching the Domain Lord Level!"
"Thank you." Yang Yu nodded.
"Since Your Highness has been confirmed as Domain Lord Level, then according to the rules, Your Highness is entitled to one more opportunity for physical enhancement." The leading Black-robed Steward said with a smile, his purple eyes full of friendliness.
"We have brought the Nutrient Pod, which contains enough Nutrient Solution to help Your Highness strengthen to the Domain Lord Nine."
Yang Yu nodded.
These are all benefits that every Core Member can enjoy for free after breaking through to a higher level.
"Call!"
A gray Nutrient Pod appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Yu, its Nutrient Solution gleaming brightly.
"Your Highness, this Nutrient Pod is, in principle, only for Your Highness use," said the head Black-robed Steward. "Besides the Nutrient Pod, there is another matter I need to inform Your Highness."
"Speaking."
"Now Your Highness has been confirmed to have reached the Domain Lord Level, you must be transferred to a post outside the capital!" The head Black-robed Steward looked at Yang Yu. "According to convention, this usually means being transferred to your hometown. Your Highness's hometown is the 'Ganwu Universe Country.' We wonder if Your Highness would be willing to return to the Ganwu Universe Country and take on a key position in our Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch. If not, Your Highness can choose any Universe Country."
"I'm willing to Ganwu Universe Country," Yang Yu said. He had been away for so long and missed his grandfather and his good brother Wang Lin and others. Moreover, there were still many things to take care of on Earth, so naturally, the Ganwu Universe Country was the best choice.
"Your Highness!"
The leading black-clad, purple-eyed Black-robed Steward smiled and said, "Because you are Primal Secret Realm Member, the position you're assigned to at the Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch will be very high, involving a great deal of influence from all sides. Therefore, it will be decided through a high-level meeting before the formal appointment is issued. This process takes at least one month and at most six months."
Yang Yu smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Now that the matter is settled, we will not disturb you any longer." The Black-robed Steward with purple eyes bowed slightly, and the other two Black-robed Steward behind him also bowed respectfully.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three envoys then Special Envoy into three streaks of Liuguang and flew away.
Yang Yu watched the three of them fly away before sitting back down in the living room chair, chatting and laughing with Lei En beside him.
"This efficiency is really low. Even with just an appointment and the assistance of the Virtual Universe Network, it still takes this long," Yang Yu sighed, shaking his head.
Upon hearing this, Lei En smiled and said, "Your Highness, since you are Primal Secret Realm Member, you will definitely be appointed to the highest-ranking position in the Ganwu Branch of my Virtual Universe Company. Such a position involves a great deal of power, interests, and resource allocation, and requires a series of procedures before the appointment can be made."
"Sure enough, things get complicated when a lot of people are involved," Yang Yu remarked.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Even if Your Highness is Registered Disciple of the City Lord, everyone must abide by the rules set by these companies," Lei En said with a smile. He was well aware of the intricacies of the situation. Where there are many people, there are bound to be many conflicts of interest, making it far less comfortable to focus solely on cultivation.
"Of course, the so-called rules are only for the weak. Your Highness, your strength and talent have long since made you able to disregard certain rules. This appointment is just a formality."
"That's not entirely true. I'll stay at the Domain Lord Level for a while longer; I won't become World Lord too early."
This was indeed Yang Yu's true thought. After all, at the Domain Lord Level, he still needed to determine the candidates for his Clone and also make arrangements for his grandfather and Wang Lin on Earth, all of which would take time.
"Yes, that's good. If you operate well during the Domain Lord Level, you can get a lot of Points." Lei En nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Lei En, you're more familiar with the company and the workings of the Universe Country than I am. Tell me, what position will I be taking on when I go back this time?"
Although Yang Yu most likely knew that he was to serve as Inspector Special Envoy, he pretended not to know and asked.
"Your Highness, it's like this, generally speaking..."
Next, Lei En gave a general overview of the Virtual Universe Company's presence in various Universe Country.
These contents are basically the same as those in the Original Work.
The only difference was that Lei En emphasized Yang Yu's status as Registered Disciple the Chaos City Lord several times.
With this identity, all the petty scheming and shady exchanges of interests in the secular world will automatically bypass Yang Yu.
Yang Yu had already experienced this firsthand.
The fact that Yang Yu was assassinated in the Cloud Palace World shows that it involved an assassination attempt at the Immortal Level. In the end, they simply took Yang Yu for a tour of the Great Axe Universe, without questioning him at all, and even gave him an extra gift as an apology.
If it were Primal Secret Realm Member, they wouldn't be so comfortable.
"So, I'll most likely become the fourth biggest boss in the branch, after the Military Department, Commerce Department, and Army Departments," Yang Yu concluded after listening.
"That's right," Lei En said with a smile, "And while Your Highness may not be as strong as the other three Marquis Level Immortal Giants, you surpass them in power. This is because Your Highness is most likely to serve as the 'Inspector Special Envoy'!"
"As the name suggests, this position is specifically for supervising various departments. It wields considerable power, and if managed well, the other three branches will have to listen to you."
Lei En spoke fluently, and then the Immortal Power spread around him.
"However, Little Martial Ancestor, you don't need to waste your energy on this. A mere Universe Country can't really yield much benefit. You just need to be courageous and diligent on your cultivation path. Whether it's the huge Points reward you get from breaking through the World Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, or the benefits you can gain from the Alien Race races in the Outer-Domain Battlefield, they far outweigh the time wasted on this so-called Head of Inspection position."
"Lei En, you're right, but I have my own plans."
Yang Yu didn't really value the small benefits within the Ganwu Universe Country. Let alone the Universe Country, even the Venerable Gan Wu was a notoriously Qian Wu ruler; there was really nothing to covet.
After completing the necessary tasks for the Domain Lord Level there, and choosing a suitable Clone, and also improving the soul and comprehension of his Human Original Body, Yang Yu will break through to the World Lord.
Only when one reaches the World Lord, or is in the hands of the Virtual Universe Company, or the Chaos City Lord, can one truly enjoy the benefits.
After talking with Lei En for a long time...
Yang Yu then returned to his Cultivation Chamber to continue his secluded practice.
While awaiting the appointment.
Yang Yu and Ai Chen often meet in the Virtual Universe to chat, spar, and exchange cultivation insights.
When Ai Chen learned that Yang Yu was about to go to the Ganwu Universe Country to become a powerful figure, his eyes lit up with anticipation.
Now that Ai Chen has found his own path in cultivation and has experienced another Desperate Level Mission, his Law Comprehension has been greatly strengthened, and he has accumulated a lot of Points. There is no need to waste any more time on Cultivation Mission.
Therefore, Ai Chen plans to spend more time Comprehend Laws and Secret Pattern Diagram, break through to the Domain Lord as quickly as possible, and then choose to be sent to the Ganwu Universe Country!
Time passed.
A month passed quickly.
That day.
After soaking in the Nutrient Pod, Yang Yu practiced his newly mastered techniques in the training grounds of the manor.
As the Purple Blade Light and Claw Light surged forth, the space itself showed signs of extreme instability.
When everything calmed down.
Yang Yu then discovered that he had received an email from Virtual Universe Company.
I clicked on it and took a look.
Really.
His appointment had been granted.
The appointment was simple and brief, only briefly explaining Yang Yu's current responsibilities, obligations, powers, and subsequent tasks.
After scanning the email and memorizing everything, Yang Yu closed it and went to the manor hall. Lei En and the others were there at that moment.
"Lei En, come here for a second."
"Your Highness, what is it?" Lei En asked as he approached.
"My official appointment has come through. I'm required to arrive in the real-world Ganwu Universe Country within two years to take up my post," Yang Yu said with a smile. "Get ready, we're leaving tomorrow!"
"So fast!" Lei En exclaimed with delight. "As expected of Your Highness, the appointment was made in exactly one month. By the way, Your Highness, are you planning to travel there by spaceship, or will you use my God Kingdom Teleportation to go directly there?"
"I'm not in a hurry, there's no need to waste resources activating the God Kingdom Teleportation. I'll just take a spaceship and fly there slowly. As long as I get there within two years, that's fine."
We've been away for so long, it doesn't matter if we go back a year or two later.
Moreover, Yang Yu has only just used the Nutrient Pod to advance to the Domain Lord Level 3, and he still needs to soak for a few more months. Even if he arrives early, it's fine.
It would be better to soak in the Nutrient Pod while traveling on the spaceship and upgrade to the Domain Lord Level Nine.
"Alright! I'll go prepare now." After saying that, Lei En led his men to prepare the supplies needed for the journey.
The distance from the Primal Secret Realm to the Ganwu Universe Country is extremely far; even at 50 times the Light Speed, it would take more than a year.
The next morning.
On the lawn of the manor.
A cool, all-purple spaceship was parked there.
It was Lei En's F-grade Spaceship.
Yang Yu had already discussed it with Lei En, and they would use his spaceship to travel this time.
While Yang Yu's Machine Race Spaceship is decent, it falls short in defense and speed. Considering everything, it's better to use Lei En's spaceship.
"Lei En, your spaceship is quite impressive. It's entirely made of F-grade Metal 'Purple Dawn Mother Stone,' and the solidified runes on the outside are also top-notch." Yang Yu stood in front of the spaceship, clicking his tongue in admiration.
Such a spaceship would cost hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan just to build, and with the added cost of solidifying the secret runes, it would generally be only achievable by Marquis Level Immortal.
Ordinary Army Lord Level immortals cannot afford such a luxurious spaceship, after all, their entire net worth is only tens of thousands of Hunyuan.
It's not surprising that those who are not doing well, the most ordinary kind of immortals, only have a few thousand Hunyuan in their bodies, and they even use ordinary E-class alloy spaceships to travel.
It can only be said that in the realm of immortals, the wealth gap is even more astonishing.
"Haha, if it were just me, I wouldn't be willing to spend money on such a good spaceship." Lei En scratched his head. "This was a special gift from my master after I did something great."
"I see. It seems King Fengyun is quite wealthy and generous," Yang Yu said with a smile. "Alright, since everything is ready, let's set off!"
Just now, Yang Yu used his privileges to send a request to leave to the Wu Chen Continent Control Center.
Since Yang Yu had already received his official appointment, his application was quickly approved, and Lei En's spaceship was granted permission to leave the Primal Secret Realm.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Lei En and his guards immediately shouted.
Having stayed on the Wu Chen Continent for so long, they longed to travel to the bustling Universe Country to relax.
"Whoosh~"
The side hatch of the Purple Dawn Spaceship opened.
Lei En and Yang Yu flew in side by side, followed by the rest of the guards.
The spaceship shut down and slowly ascended into the air, quickly gaining speed and transforming into a purple phantom as it swiftly flew into the Void.
When it flew to the edge of the 'Wu Chen Space-time', ripples spread through the universe, and the Purple Palace spaceship directly broke through these spatial ripples.
Half a day later.
In the outer Starry Sky, the Purple Palace spaceship stretched across the cosmos like a long, narrow bolt of lightning.
"Your Highness, we have now left the monitoring range of the Primal Secret Realm and can now travel into the Dark Universe."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Lei En."
"It's not hard work. At 50 times the Light Speed, we can reach the Ganwu Universe Country in about a year and two months," Lei En said with a smile.
Immediately, the Purple Palace spaceship began to accelerate, reaching the Light Speed in just a moment. Then, a ripple appeared in the Void, and the Purple Palace entered the Dark Universe.
Yang Yu then greeted Lei En and returned to his Rest Cabin.
This is Rest Cabin specially arranged for him by Lei En, made entirely of even more precious G-grade Metal. It is extremely luxurious and its defensive capabilities are maxed out; it can even withstand Material Attack from ordinary King Level powerhouses.
This is also why Yang Yu decided to use the Purple Palace spaceship to travel.
After all, it's always better to be safer and more comfortable.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Yu took the Nutrient Pod out of his Space Ring, placed it on the ground, entered it, and then connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, evolving while cultivating in the manor in the Primal Region of Yuxiang Mountain.
The journey is long, but this short time is enough for Yang Yu to make further progress in his understanding of laws and Secret Technique.
