Background
The Virtual Universe permeates the Primitive Universe as a separate universe of consciousness. It enables real-time communication across the entire Primitive Universe and allows users to cultivate, study laws, train, and interact in simulated environments. Xiao Si regards its creator as a genius for achieving this scale and realism. 4
Users connect a portion of their consciousness through a Consciousness Sensor. Access can be time-limited, restricted by account permissions, or granted through military and organizational authority. 2 10 23
Functions
Simulation and Training
The Virtual Universe can create combat environments, opponents, terrain, and scenarios for cultivation or movement-technique practice.
- The Giant Axe Arena's Killing Space allows users to fight simulations of themselves or selected opponents, with death followed by respawn. 2 6
- Its arenas can host public death matches with betting, designated battlefields, and spectator seating. 5
- Bai Muye uses custom scenarios and inherited battle memories to refine Lightning Escape within the Virtual Universe. 50
- It can simulate varied terrain and enemies, but cannot perfectly reproduce Bai Muye's body with its hundredfold genetic multiplier. 53
- Certain techniques that transcend dimensions or violate the Primitive Universe's rules cannot be cultivated inside it. 4
Communication and Information
The system provides immediate long-range communication, email, calls, searchable information, forums, and data exchange.
- Calls may be protected by a paid privacy shield. 20
- Users can browse public information, military forums, organizational records, and restricted posts according to their authority. 20 102
- Bai Muye sends intelligence gathered from Lord Ziluo to the Chaos City Lord through a Divine Power incarnation logged into the Virtual Universe. 225
- Xiao Wu can maintain a virtual consciousness in the system, operate Bai Muye's ship, and download or store technical materials. 69 106
Military System
The Virtual Universe supports the human military's Outer Battlefield operations.
- It evaluates Universe Rank recruits' combat performance and assigns them Elite or Ordinary status. 22 23
- It grants battlefield and barracks access permissions, including access to the Dongluo Legion's virtual military camp and training grounds. 23 24
- Active monitoring during battle is required for Military Merit calculation and the distribution of cooperative kill rewards. 23
- The system can notify nearby allies of a detected trap within three seconds across a range of ten billion kilometers. 92
- Military records are shared with the Hong Alliance subsystem, allowing confirmed battle achievements to upgrade a member's authority. 120
Residences and Independent Spaces
The Virtual Universe includes residential, commercial, and organizational spaces.
- Bai Muye purchases land in Nine Star Bay on Black Dragon Mountain Island and builds a manor there. 69
- Hong Alliance City exists as an independent plane within the Virtual Universe, with residences assigned according to membership status. 120
- After attaining seven-star Hong Alliance status, Bai Muye receives a dedicated plane space that can be arranged to his wishes and includes Giant Axe Arena-style training functions. 191

Security and Limitations
- Connecting to the Virtual Universe records a user's real-world location; someone with sufficiently high authority can use the system to track that user. 120 132
- Bai Muye therefore avoids remaining connected continuously despite being capable of doing so. 120
- High-level information, including details on powerful individuals and races, may remain inaccessible despite a user's ability to search the network. 64 65
- The system's monitoring and location tracking make it difficult for Outer Battlefield combatants to conceal activity while earning Military Merit. 23 92
- The Virtual Universe is not the real Primitive Universe and cannot replace real-world cultivation for every method or secret technique. 4
