In the Initial Universe, inside the Chaos Ruins of Chaos City.
After answering some of Luo Zhiyuan's questions about cultivation, the Chaos City Leader said, "You've now advanced to the Domain Lord Level, and I've used the Virtual Universe System to update your status. According to the rules, you'll soon be sent out to oversee a region and broaden your horizons. What do you think?"
Luo Zhiyuan scratched his head. "Teacher, I didn't have any particular plans, but since I'm already in Chaos City, how about I stay here and cultivate for a while longer?"
"Don't we disciples get a benefit from the Virtual Universe Company that lets us return to Chaos City and cultivate for 300 years after reaching the Domain Lord Level?"
"What do you think, Teacher?"
The Chaos City Leader shook his head, disagreeing with Luo Zhiyuan's idea. "That wouldn't be appropriate. The Virtual Universe Company trains its core disciples according to the most rigorous standards."
"At the Universe Level, you're allowed to focus on cultivation, occasionally taking on training missions to gain combat experience and strengthen your foundations."
"At the Domain Lord Level, you're expected to learn to consider the bigger picture and have your character tested, preparing you to manage our race in the future."
"You're all future elites of humanity. Our race's development may one day be in your hands, so you can't be merely warriors."
"That's why you can't just bury yourself in cultivation. You still need to take advantage of the opportunities you have to train."
Since the Chaos City Leader had put it that way, Luo Zhiyuan didn't want to be branded a reckless brute. Still...
"Teacher, could I comprehend the Chaos Stele one more time, then follow the Virtual Universe Company's arrangements and take up my post?"
