Background / History

The company operates the Virtual Universe, a network that enables near-instant communication throughout the universe unless disrupted by the Primitive Universe’s origin will or the universe’s strongest beings. Users connect through induction helmets, auxiliary optical computers, smart AIs, or intelligent lifeforms. 2 44

Its network supports virtual residences, communications, training, auctions, commerce, and knowledge transfer. People without virtual property appear on public streets at their previous logout location, while property owners can choose to log in at their virtual homes. 2 149

The company maintains that it neither monitors private messages nor leaks user data, presenting these guarantees as foundational to its standing. At the same time, it surveils nearly every inhabited human planet and can investigate physical-world activities in exceptional cases. 62 205

The company recruits promising unaffiliated talents throughout the universe kingdoms of human territory. Its Jialan Branch identified Su Ke and Eloy through their performances in the Killing Field’s Duel Space, then accepted them as external members after they declined internal membership. 92 94

Network and Services

Virtual Universe network

The Virtual Universe provides fully simulated environments in which food, training, and knowledge transmission can reproduce real-world effects. It remains humanity’s major communication advantage, including on the Outer-Domain Battlefield. 160 168 323

• Entry methods include induction helmets, auxiliary optical computers, smart AIs, and intelligent lifeforms. 2
• The cheapest induction helmet costs 10 Jialan Coins, while annual network access costs 10 Jialan Coins or 0.008 Liuyun Coins. 2
• The system can transmit secret techniques directly and securely after confirming a purchaser’s identity. 167
• On the Outer-Domain Battlefield, it displays allied coordinates within 1 billion kilometers and broadcasts emergency calls for help within 10 billion kilometers. 324
• It can identify alien races, though humans controlled by aliens are far harder to detect. 272

Training facilities

• Killing Field — The company’s control of the Killing Fields gives it an early advantage in discovering exceptional talents. 92
• Duel Space — A combat venue used by Su Ke and Eloy; their performances there drew the attention of the Jialan Branch. 93 146
• Cultivation Field — A 100% simulated training environment where experience and comprehension develop as they would in reality. Core members possess private facilities. 168
• Heavenly Bridge, Illusion Sea, and Immortal Altar — Core-member practice systems accessible through the company’s “Practice” section. 180
• Chaos City access — The company assigns reception envoys and grants qualified core members permanent access to the Heavenly Bridge. 163 165

Commerce and auctions

The company hosts auctions for restricted and difficult-to-obtain treasures. The Floating Cloud Auction occurs once every three years and is open to three-star clients of either Universal First Bank or Universe Galaxy Bank. 85

• The company’s lottery system operates across all 1,008 universe kingdoms; Su Ke won a third prize worth 1 trillion Jialan Coins through its Jialan Empire sub-branch. 2
• Its commercial network covers purchases of treasures, auction participation, and transactions throughout the Virtual Universe. 186
• The company purchased treasures from Su Ke worth 142 billion Hunyuan Units, though it offered only 10.5 billion Hunyuan Units for the Flame God Race’s King Armor and Golden Halberd. 343

Recruitment and Cultivation

The company targets young talents who have not joined the Giant Axe Coliseum, Universe Mercenary Alliance, Universal First Bank, or Universe Galaxy Bank. Recruited members may receive a Bloodline Evolution Agent, with the quality determined by talent rating. 94

Core members receive substantial institutional support.

• Every core member receives 1,000 starting points upon entering the core layer. 160
• The company offers free enhancement from Rank 1 to Rank 9 at the Universe Rank, Domain Lord Rank, and World Lord Rank stages, although members must complete Initial Universe cultivation and report to their secret realm to receive it. 160
• Core members may use points to acquire secret techniques and other resources. 167
• The company holds a Peak Genius Battle every 5,000 years, alternating with the Giant Axe Coliseum’s corresponding event. 146
• Its support is not unconditional: World Lords are expected to leave protected territory and undergo real combat and exploration. 287

Branches and Headquarters

The Jialan Branch is stationed on Jialan Island, the default virtual arrival point for users within the Jialan Empire’s territory. Despite its name, the island is larger than any physical planet because it accommodates users from more than ten thousand star systems. 23

The Liuyun Branch operates from Sky Tree Island in the Virtual Universe. Its headquarters include a colossal central tree, extensive wooden palaces, and the offices of the branch’s major departments. 187

The company’s universal headquarters is located on an immense continent suspended in space; even stars appear tiny beside it. Its virtual headquarters includes Yuxiang Mountain and Thunder Island. 160 217 301

Assignments and Enforcement

Core members deployed to branches receive positions based on their secret-realm status. The company uses these appointments as training and evaluation opportunities. 186

Su Ke, as a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Domain Lord, was appointed Deputy Military Inspector of the First Legion of the Liuyun Branch. The position granted him authority to investigate and monitor the legion, while special assignments could yield additional points. 186

The company’s enforcement apparatus can investigate corruption, issue punitive missions, and compel branch officials to submit to judgment.

• Su Ke’s Domain Lord mission required him to assist in eliminating the Monster Race-controlled Wanzhao Family. 195
• His highest-point mission evaluated not only results but also character and conviction. 217
• The third mission ring ordered him to judge 42 Liuyun Branch offenders—four Immortal Gods and 38 World Lords—for violations including murder, illicit quota sales, customer assassinations, and slave-trade protection. 223
• The ensuing trial was broadcast live through the Virtual Universe network. 223
• Even the Liuyun Universe Kingdom Lord accepted the company’s right to punish its branch personnel when it possessed solid evidence. 227

Relationships

• Su Ke — Initially received a lottery notification through the company’s network; later joined the Jialan Branch as an external member, entered the End Times Secret Realm as a core member, and was subsequently placed in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. 2 94 156 179
• Eloy — Joined the Jialan Branch alongside Su Ke as an external member; later entered the company’s End Times Secret Realm and received core-member resources. 94 160
• Qiwu Haiqin — Jialan Branch general manager who recruited Su Ke and Eloy after observing their Duel Space performances. 93 94
• Palace Master Fanhai — Arranged for Su Ke to enter the company so that he could develop among other geniuses rather than cultivate in isolation. 154
• Floating Cloud Universe Kingdom — Its branches and cosmic armies are jointly administered with the company in relevant jurisdictions. 186
• Giant Axe Coliseum — A fellow Five Peak Force and the company’s alternating host for the 5,000-year Genius Battle cycle. 146
