The interior of the spaceship consists of independent spaces, decorated with what can only be called luxury. A single glance reveals that Ye Muxuan has only seen a tiny fraction of these things before; while he recognizes some, he has never seen the physical objects, and there are many others he has never even heard of.

In the spaceship's grand hall, there are long tables with chairs of varying sizes arranged around them. The one hundred and twenty powerhouses each find a seat, looking around at the opulent and extravagant hall.

"It's actually made entirely of Earth Soul Rock Mother, how extravagant!" A World Lord with clearly extraordinary knowledge recognizes the material of the ship.

"A piece of Earth Soul Rock Mother the size of a palm is worth several Hunyuan Units. This entire ship is primarily constructed from it—hiss!" Other World Lords who have heard of this metal cannot help but gasp.

"Just the raw material alone is worth at least tens of millions of Hunyuan Units!" Another World Lord grins, calculating how much money it would take to purchase such a ship.

This is a price point that would bankrupt even a Marquis Rank Immortal, and even if one managed to obtain it, they might not be able to keep it.

Most World Lords know something of the value of such rare metals, but some Immortals and a very small number of World Lords also know the unique properties of Earth Soul Rock Mother.

Although Earth Soul Rock Mother is classified as an F8-grade metal, it is more precious than typical F9-grade metals and is particularly suitable for King Rank Immortals, especially martial artists.

Because a spaceship built from Earth Soul Rock Mother can isolate soul attacks from any powerhouse below the King Rank. Even soul attacks launched by a King Rank Immortal using materialized divine power can be blocked by over ninety percent by this ship.

With excellent physical defense and extremely high soul defense, ships forged from Earth Soul Rock Mother are highly favored by many King Rank martial artists. If one were to also integrate an Immortal-grade Metal Lifeform, even those at the peak of the King Rank would fight over it.

Ye Muxuan had only occasionally come across this information in the past. Because he is a martial artist himself, he had taken an interest in it, but he never expected to actually see a real ship of this kind.

He sits together with Zhendan, Kong Yan, and Li Zheng. Among these one hundred World Lords, only the four of them can be considered on par with one another. While the remaining World Lords are all World Lord Generals who could easily deal with ordinary peak World Lords, they are not qualified to claim they can rival an Immortal Deity.

World Lords capable of rivaling an Immortal Deity are extremely rare throughout the Outer Battlefield, and those capable of killing an Immortal Deity are even more one-in-a-billion.

Amidst the quiet discussions of many World Lords and Immortals, the ship receives clearance and moves from the Longyan Planet docking platform into space. Three seconds later, it enters the Dark Universe and begins to accelerate continuously toward its destination.

By the time the ship stops accelerating and stabilizes again, it has reached a speed that the one hundred and twenty powerhouses present cannot even imagine.

"The ship's current speed in the Dark Universe is 65 times the speed of light. It will take four years to reach the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company." The control room hatch opens, and a peak Marquis Rank Immortal emerges. Looking at the one hundred and twenty powerhouses in the hall, he says, "If you are bored, go play in the Virtual Universe. We will notify you when we reach the destination."

65 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe!

The World Lords and Immortals present are quite knowledgeable and are very familiar with spaceships, but they are still shocked that a ship can reach 65 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe. At the very least, among the ships that can be exchanged for in the military system's treasury, there are none of this caliber. Normally, the limit for an F-grade ship in the Dark Universe is around 50 times the speed of light, and that is only for high-level ships sold by the Virtual Universe Company. One must know that the best ship in Ye Muxuan's possession is only 35 times, and that is a ship manufactured by the Machine Race.

Therefore, this ship must have integrated an Immortal-grade Metal Lifeform!

Ye Muxuan chats with the people around him for a while, then connects to the Virtual Universe to look up information on Demon Blade King.

In a small cabin by the lake in Yunmeng Lake, inside a three-story meditation room, the results of the search appear on the screen in front of him.

Demon Blade King, real name Kong Mo, of the "Xilie Giant Race," King Rank Limit, core member of the Giant Axe Dojo, has fought in the Outer Battlefield for a million years, growing from a World Lord all the way to the King Rank Limit. Possesses a top-tier heavy treasure battle blade, the Black Demon Blade, and a common heavy treasure armor, the Demon Covering Armor.

Ye Muxuan looks at this information, his eyes flickering slightly. The fact that he publicly possesses two heavy treasures indicates that his strength is among the very strongest within the King Rank Limit; even if he hasn't reached the invincible King Rank, the gap is not far.

Furthermore, he is a core member of the Giant Axe Dojo, which means he has at least one teacher who is an invincible King Rank or even a Kingdom Lord behind him, and it also means his actual combat power is far stronger than what he displays.

Never underestimate the core members of the five major powers!

This is a recognized unspoken rule among all powerhouses in the Outer Battlefield.

Exchanging words occasionally with the World Lords around him and connecting to the Virtual Universe to query various information, four years pass by quickly.

"Beginning universe shuttle, preparing to enter the Original Universe." When the intelligent lifeform on the ship issues the prompt, all the powerhouses open their eyes.

"Ten... nine... two... one!" The ship trembles slightly, exits the Dark Universe, and returns to the Original Universe.

With 100% external virtual view enabled, everyone's gaze falls in unison upon a massive landmass at the end of the starry sky.

It is a continent suspended in space, surrounded by dots of light that are individual stars.

The all-universe headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company has arrived.

All the World Lords and Immortals who are seeing the Virtual Universe Company headquarters for the first time are shocked.

This massive, vast, and ancient continent occupies the entire end of their vision, appearing as if it were a barrier at the edge of the universe.

Even though he had imagined how vast the Virtual Universe Company headquarters might be, now that it is before him, Ye Muxuan is still stunned.

No one in the ship speaks; everyone seeing it for the first time stares blankly at the continent floating in the depths of the starry sky.

"This is the all-universe headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, the core of one of the five major powers of our human race. This continent has a diameter of several dozen light-years. The stars and planets surrounding it are all technological weapons manufactured by the Virtual Universe Company. Never mind Immortals, even if there were many more Kingdom Lords, they could not break in." At some point, Demon Blade King appears in the hall. Looking at this group of powerhouses who have exchanged for their spots, his voice carries something different than before. "You have all fought in the Outer Battlefield for at least fifty thousand years, and with some opportunities, you were able to exchange for these spots. Generally speaking, more than half of you one hundred and twenty people will reach the Immortal level within a few thousand years. During this period, if you perform well, even the five major powers will try to recruit you. I hope you continue to work hard and become the backbone of our human race."
