The giant, deep blue fish was traveling at 50 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe; it was the mount of the Venerable Zhouguang.

Inside the spaceship.

Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged in the rest room provided by the Venerable, continuing to digest his insights into the Darkness Chaos Stele. Because of his final comprehension of the Darkness Chaos Stele before leaving Chaos City, Lu Yan'an had entered a period of rapid progress.

As soon as inspiration strikes, it transforms into nourishment, nurturing the Time Fusion Framework he had previously grasped! This had been happening to Lu Yan'an for over seven days. While advancing the Time Fusion Law Framework, his analysis of the essence of the Law of Light had unknowingly reached 84 different types!

Seven days later, the Venerable's spaceship began its Cosmic Shuttle and entered the Original Secret Realm.

"This is the Original Secret Realm!" Venerable Zhouguang introduced with a smile, "Activate the spaceship's exterior simulation!"

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, allowing Lu Yan'an to see the outside world at a glance.

The distant void was densely filled with stars, like a Galaxy! And he himself was just a tiny speck of dust in this Galaxy! Moreover, being in such a breathtaking scene, Lu Yan'an could better appreciate the vastness of the universe!

"Do you see the galaxy spreading across the void?" the Venerable asked with a smile, pointing to the Galaxy on the screen. "That was artificially created by my Virtual Universe Company!"

"What?" Lu Yan'an exclaimed in surprise. He was truly shocked by the sheer scale of Virtual Universe Company's investment!

Seemingly expecting Lu Yan'an's shock, Venerable Zhouguang. Instead, he continued, "The most expensive part of this 'Wuchen Spacetime' is the 136 Wuchen Planet scattered throughout the galaxy! All the other planets and stars were transported here by human labor to conceal these 'Wuchen Planet'!"

"These 136 Wuchen Planet were created by the company at a huge cost, using Space Secret Technique, specifically to prevent powerful Alien Race from attacking and killing our race's geniuses!"

"Therefore, even if foreign races were to infiltrate this place, finding the Original Secret Realm within this sea of stars would be nothing short of a pipe dream!"

"This Virtual Universe Company is really going all out!" Lu Yan'an.

As one of the five super powers in the Cosmic Humans, Virtual Universe Company possesses incredible strength. Even from these details alone, one can increasingly sense its unfathomable power!

"Boom!"

When Venerable Zhouguang piloted the azure blue Big Fish Spaceship into this space-time, for a certain instant, Lu Yan'an clearly saw the position of the 136 Wuchen Planet and the incomparably dazzling continent standing at the core of this space-time!

On this continent, which floats at the core of spacetime, there are clusters of exquisite palaces.

"This Void Continent is called the 'Wuchen Continent'," said Venerable Zhouguang. "From the outside, you can't even find the trajectory of the Wuchen Planet, but my Virtual Universe Company houses all the Primal Secret Region Member on the Wuchen Continent."

"I'll take you to the territory assigned to you by the higher-ups now. The Guard Army you saw in the Virtual Universe are in your territory."

The spaceship slowly flew through the Original Secret Realm.

"Alright, we've arrived at your residence," the Venerable said. At the same time, through the virtual reality function, Lu Yan'an could see a faint mist spreading in the distance, like a fairyland!

Within the Original Secret Realm, the Wuchen Continent of the Ninth Spacetime is incredibly vast, with each prince allocated nearly a million square kilometers of land!

Wow!

The hatch opened.

"Then I'll leave you here. Your manor is just ahead, we'll be there soon!" Venerable Zhouguang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Venerable." Lu Yan'an bowed respectfully.

Venerable Zhouguang nodded slightly. "I hope that when we meet again, you little fellow will also be a renowned figure throughout the universe!"

After speaking, the Venerable flicked his tail fin and the large, dark blue fish he was piloting vanished from its spot in an instant!

Dozens of figures flew through the air from afar, the leader of whom was an Immortal God clad in Azure Battle Armor. He was tall and slender with a gentle demeanor, and his appearance was exactly the same as that seen in the Virtual Universe. He was none other than his Guard Army leader Immortal God "Hisoka"!

"Your Highness!" The remaining dozens of people also bowed respectfully. Judging from their auras, none of them were weak, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lu Yan'an's aura was the weakest!

"Hmm." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly. "Mr. Hisoka, could you please show me around the territory? This is my first time here offline!"

"No problem, Your Highness, please follow me," Hisoka said with a faint smile.

Subsequently, led by his guards, Lu Yan'an arrived at a massive palace building. The palace was built in a very unique style, with a rugged yet magnificent appearance. There were other palace complexes next to this palace.

"Your Highness, please come in." Hisoka led the way, Lu Yan'an also entered the magnificent palace.

Inside the palace, various cosmic green plants that Lu Yan'an did not recognize were planted, making the surrounding environment very natural and vivid, with a sense of vitality!

After declining the enthusiastic invitation from Hisoka, the leader of the Guard Army, Lu Yan'an chose a small Chinese-style building in the palace to stay in, and then began to connect to the Virtual Universe.

Virtual Universe Company requires every batch of geniuses they recruit to undergo a foundation-building process in Chaos City. This is not only to lay a solid foundation for these geniuses, but more importantly, to allow the City Lord of Chaos to judge whether there are any problems among them.

After leaving Chaos City and being assigned to various secret realms, each genius's corresponding permissions will change! Generally speaking, their permissions will be upgraded, allowing them to do many things they couldn't do before and buy many resources that were previously unavailable!

He first needed to apply for the use of Nutrient Capsule to advance from the first tier of the Universe Level to the ninth tier. There were also some other necessary items that he needed to purchase. Before applying, he began browsing the treasure trove list of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Is this the benefit of the Original Secret Realm?" Lu Yan'an looked at the screen list projected on the screen. The treasure trove displayed several times more items than when he was in Chaos City! At this moment, the 30% discount of the Original Secret Realm was very evident, allowing him to purchase the resources he wanted with ease!

"The Original Secret Realm's access grants everyone greater tolerance for error and reduces the cost of trial and error! It truly lives up to its reputation as a training ground for the Virtual Universe Company!" Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

"Hmm? Backend management?" Lu Yan'an thought back for a moment, and didn't seem to have seen this option before.

Curious, he clicked on it, and the file opened automatically, displaying a page with three options: "Life," "Study," and "Cultivation."

"Life." Lu Yan'an nodded lightly.

A large number of sub-items suddenly appeared on the screen, including options such as "Star Map", "Food", "Nutrient Capsule", "Residence", and "Spaceship". Lu Yan'an clicked on them all and looked at them. They were all about solutions to various problems encountered while living in the Original Secret Realm. Among them, "Nutrient Capsule" was to choose to soak in the Nutrient Capsule to reach the highest level of this level.

"Apply!" Lu Yan'an clicked lightly.

Beep!

A small screen appeared, displaying a beautiful silver-haired woman in a brown robe who smiled and said, "Hello, Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an. May I ask if you are requesting to use the Nutrient Capsule to advance from the first rank of the Universe Level to the ninth rank?"

"Yes." Lu Yan'an nodded.

After confirming Lu Yan'an's answer, the silver-haired woman smiled and said, "Your His Highness An, we will deliver the Nutrient Capsule to your residence within one day."

"Thank you," Lu Yan'an smiled.

The call has been disconnected.

"That's really simple," Lu Yan'an muttered. "Moreover, food, lodging, and many other things are free. Only the spaceships are free; good spaceships cost money to buy. However, A-class to D-class spaceship are all free."

Yes, items that aren't too expensive are generally provided free of charge.

"The conditions for cultivating geniuses at this Virtual Universe Company are simply too excellent!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed. Just take the Nutrient Capsule for example; everyone who enters the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company can enjoy them, and the expenditure on this alone is astronomical!

"No wonder the human race's powerful figures are always able to thrive and Fire Phase!" At this moment, Lu Yan'an seemed to understand how Cosmic Humans had gradually developed into what it is today!
