Dark Universe

Biodata

Travel Mechanics

• A spaceship enters the Dark Universe upon reaching the speed of light. Once inside, it can travel faster than light 1 88.
• Under normal navigation, a ship leaves by slowing to a stop. Technology that briefly forces a ship to a standstill can eject it without a gradual deceleration 88.
• The Dark Universe and Primordial Universe have vastly different spatial scales. A battle can throw travelers far from their intended coordinates 398.

Navigation and Hazards

• Its dim, largely unchanging scenery offers few visual reference points. Even Immortal Gods below the Fengwang level have difficulty navigating without external aids; Universe Venerables can more readily infer the Primordial Universe’s general landscape from it 88 511.
• Long-distance travel remains vulnerable to pirates, dangerous regions, energy consumption, and ship damage 179.
• Ambushers can disrupt a ship’s speed and force it back into the Primordial Universe 88 398.
• Some phenomena affect the Dark Universe itself: the moving Yanyu Glow can kill a Fenghou-level being caught in it, while the Guqiong Secret Realm’s surrounding region can slow and eject an approaching vessel 515 552.

Regional Restrictions

• The planetary arrangement around Tucha Planet prevents unauthorized ships from using Dark Universe travel to enter its vicinity 88.
• Universe secret realms can restrict access. The Primal Secret Realm permits universe shuttles only at designated locations, including cleared areas where ships can accelerate to light speed 228.
