Background / History

Chen Yuan first accesses the wider Virtual Universe through an Auxiliary Optical Brain awarded by the martial arts gym. His consciousness enters Black Dragon Mountain Island, where the environment and inhabitants appear extraordinarily realistic. His inability to speak the Universal Language leaves him dependent on translation and subject to contempt from shopkeepers. 46

After joining the Virtual Universe Company's Black Dragon Mountain Branch, Chen Yuan gains access to the Purple Glow Peak plane, treasury, points system, and later the broader Ganwu Branch functions. His rising status unlocks additional virtual planes, including Purple Crystal Island and Wufeng Realm. 84 154

The original Virtual Universe is based on the Primal Universe's origin and can simulate secret methods, laws, and treasures that have appeared in reality. It cannot fully simulate will, however; high-level will trials suffer increasing distortion. Chen Yuan's soul-bound Azure Firmament Sword also reveals an early limitation when its Soul Binding cannot be fully simulated. 341 348

Chen Yuan later constructs his own Virtual Universe Origin and transfers Irel's sentient core into a terminal. Irel becomes the network's intelligent processing core, possesses half of Chen Yuan's authority through their Soul Binding, and evolves alongside the network. 350

Chen Yuan silently replaces the Original Ancestor's Virtual Universe with his own after his secret method returns to the Proficient stage. The Original Ancestor identifies the new power within Chen Yuan's origin as Illusion. Chen Yuan initially restricts knowledge of the replacement to a few Human Race leaders; its history becomes known among the Primal Universe's upper echelons after the Original Ancestor's release. 377 381 549

As the network expands through extra-dimensional Universe Oceans, Irel develops and maintains separate deployments while using the Tower of Origin Beginning and local races to promote adoption. By the exploration of the fifteenth discovered dimension, the network in that universe covers 40 trillion light-years, although its coverage of forbidden-land-like regions remains limited in later dimensions. 452 454 461

Chen Yuan reconstructs the network at the Chaos Level using the Great Dao of Space as its foundation, the Great Dao of Time as its framework, and the Primal Universe's structural principles. The resulting framework possesses stability comparable to a Primal Universe, greatly improving the network's concealment and ability to penetrate dimensional barriers. To complete the reconstruction, he inputs Great Dao information from the system database and residual information gathered from every developed Primal Universe into the Virtual Universe Origin. 527

After the reconstruction, the Virtual Universes in all 153 developed universes become technically interconnected, allowing direct cross-dimensional communication. Irel initially closes those connections because opening them could reveal the network's source and attract the attention of powerful outsiders. Chen Yuan subsequently permits the developed universes other than his homeland universe to interconnect, while maintaining safeguards over information concerning his homeland. 527 528

The Virtual Universe is later deployed on the Origin Continent as a local network. Its network cannot yet penetrate the connection between the Origin Continent and the Universe Ocean, but Yanfeng Guild support allows it to cover more than half of the continent within half a day and rapidly gain permanent users. 547 549

The rapid influx of Origin Continent cultivators, particularly Void True Gods and Eternal True Gods, dramatically improves the network's development and Irel's cultivation. Irel consequently breaks through from True God to Void True God as the Virtual Universe's administrator. 549

Following Chen Yuan's later God King-level advancement, he plans a further Virtual Universe optimization around the highly compatible World Great Dao. Yanfeng and Thunder provide a late God Emperor-level World Great Dao inheritance, which is ultimately incorporated into the upgraded network to support Irel's future advancement in the World Great Dao. 644 652

Administration

• Chen Yuan — Master of the Virtual Universe Secret Method and holder of the highest authority over every deployed network. He determines the security rules for interdimensional access and keeps his homeland universe isolated from the wider dimensional network. 451 528
• Irel — Intelligent processing core; manages data, terminals, network operation, trade functions, reconnaissance, upgrades, and enforcement of the network's rules. She later advances from True God to Void True God through the Virtual Universe's growth and is publicly known as the Void Realm Envoy. 350 452 446 549 652
• Original Ancestor — Creator and former controller of the original Human Race Virtual Universe; permits Chen Yuan to take over its role. 377
• Virtual Universe Company — Retains access to functions comparable to those offered by the Original Ancestor's system, including Cultivation Space allocation. 401
• Yanfeng Guild — Supports the Origin Continent deployment and its rapid dissemination among local cultivators. 547 549

Functions

Virtual Simulation

The Virtual Universe Origin can simulate phenomena that have appeared in the Primal Universe, including laws, secret methods, treasures, and cultivation environments. 348

• Simulates the conceptions of all 52 Chaos Steles through Cultivation Spaces. 384
• Supports cultivation insight even for True Gods after the network accumulates Void True God-level data. 381
• Could initially sustain about 30 Cultivation Spaces; after an upgrade, it supports more than 500. 384
• Can analyze and simulate complete Beast God Conceptions for cultivation in a Cultivation Space. 385
• Allows artifact refiners to practice making Supreme Treasures without consuming real materials. 376
• Cannot fully simulate will; the Illusion Sea reaches only 21 levels, corresponding to elementary Universe Venerable will. 348
• Cannot completely replicate soul-bound effects such as the Azure Firmament Sword's Soul Binding. 341
• Chen Yuan transmits records of a universe's birth and destruction to the Virtual Universe Origin so that the process can later be recreated for race powerhouses to comprehend. 573
• The Chaos-level origin contains extensive Great Dao information and can use Illusion to simulate aspects of other Great Dao powers after the upgraded secret method reaches sufficient proficiency. 527

Law Correction

The Virtual Universe Origin assists its processing core in identifying and correcting fallacies in law comprehension. 355

• Irel uses her direct contact with the origin to perfect her Law of Space and break through to Universe Venerable. 355
• Chen Yuan merges his consciousness with the origin to experience perfected space-time laws during Irel's Universe Master breakthrough. 383

Network Coverage and Reconnaissance

The network expands beyond the Primal Universe and maps distant regions of the Universe Ocean. 383 401

• At Eternal grade, its coverage reaches 200 trillion light-years. 401
• It identifies the locations of the Universe Boat, Qingfeng World, Liuzhong Mountain, East Emperor Universe, and Purple Moon Universe. 401
• Forbidden Lands and Holy Land Universes initially remain pitch-black regions despite falling within network coverage; later analysis substantially disperses the fog over the Universe Boat and produces a detailed terrain map. 401 402
• Within 3 trillion light-years, exploration clarity reaches 50%–70% of that within the Primal Universe; clarity drops sharply farther away unless additional computing power is committed. 383
• Irel can deploy a new network in another dimension through an avatar containing an intelligent core. 450
• At Chaos level, the network infrastructure spans all 153 developed universes and can establish direct inter-dimensional communication. 527 528
• The Chaos-level network covers a diameter of one quadrillion light-years and can investigate the Firewall at the edge of the Universe Ocean, though it does not find the Origin Continent beyond it. 528
• Chen Yuan keeps the homeland universe disconnected from the wider dimensional network to conceal the Virtual Universe's origin, while allowing controlled interconnection among the other developed universes. 528 531
• The Origin Continent deployment currently functions as a local network because the network cannot yet cross the connection between the Origin Continent and the Universe Ocean. 547
• With Yanfeng Guild support, the Origin Continent network covers more than half the continent within half a day. 549
• The Chaos-level architecture is sufficiently concealed that God Kings who do not cultivate soul-type Great Daos cannot detect the network. 526

Teleportation Support

The network enhances the Tower of Origin Beginning's teleportation functions. 392 440

• The tower can connect its internal space to the external void and transport personnel across long distances through the network. 392
• Its optimized teleportation range becomes bound to Virtual Universe coverage. 440
• Chen Yuan uses the network to condense Illusionary Avatars in important regions of the Universe Ocean and rapidly distribute information. 440

Data Collection and Evolution

The Virtual Universe develops through accumulated user data and network practice. 343 452

• The Original Ancestor's secret method advanced through data gathered from Human Race users over vast eras. 343
• Chen Yuan seeks to expand into three thousand dimensional universes to collect optimization energy, special-life materials, and diverse cultivation data. 451 452
• The Chaos-level upgrade incorporates Great Dao information collected from developed Primal Universes into the Virtual Universe Origin. 527
• The proliferation of high-level Origin Continent users rapidly improves both the network's proficiency and Irel's cultivation, contributing to her Void True God breakthrough. 549
• Interdimensional exchanges among powerful users are intended to stimulate new cultivation insights, produce stronger experts, and accelerate the Virtual Universe's autonomous evolution. 528 531

Reality Enforcement

The advanced Virtual Universe can affect reality in accordance with rules established by its administrator. 549

• When a lifeform violates the network's rules within the Primal Universe, the Virtual Universe can descend with its power and erase the offender. 549
• Irel is reputed to conduct these erasure operations as the administrator of the Virtual Universe. 549
• During the Yuan Chu World memory-erasure incident, Irel identifies the leaked Void-Nothing influence, removes it, and resurrects two deceased Human Race members. 652

Infrastructure

• Virtual Universe Origin — The central origin system that enables large-scale simulation and supports law correction. Chen Yuan's dimensional deployments share one Virtual Universe Origin, rather than each requiring a newly constructed origin. 348 355 451
• Core Terminals — Processing terminals operated by Irel; she later possesses 100 terminals in total, allowing network operation to continue during her breakthroughs. 383 401
• Consciousness Sensors / Receivers — Bracer-like devices that connect users to the network; Chen Yuan distributes them to local races in a newly discovered dimension. 451 452
• Cultivation Space — High-level simulated training environment capable of reproducing Chaos Stele conceptions and advanced cultivation conditions. 381 384
• Tower of Origin Beginning — Trade and teleportation hub integrated with the Virtual Universe network. 392 440
• Heart of the True God — After Irel becomes a True God, her Heart of the True God merges with the secret method and is hidden in the deepest part of the illusionary world within the origin land. Its destruction would cause the Virtual Universe to cease functioning. 446
• Dynamic Space-Time Framework — The Chaos-level network architecture founded upon the Great Daos of Space and Time, providing exceptional stability, penetration, and concealment. 527
• Interdimensional Links — Connections created when the Chaos-level network penetrates Dimension Power and joins the networks in the developed dimensional universes; access is subject to Chen Yuan's security restrictions. 527 528
• Interdimensional Exchange Planes — 10,081 super-large virtual planes reserved for exchanges between Universe Masters from different dimensional universes. 531
• Origin Continent Base Station — A network station established through Irel's avatar, allowing local cultivators to access the Origin Continent network by sensing a special fluctuation rather than using Consciousness Sensors. 547

Story Role / Major Arcs

Black Dragon Mountain Access

Chen Yuan first enters the Virtual Universe through his Auxiliary Optical Brain, arriving on Black Dragon Mountain Island with 50,000 Black Dragon Coins. The experience exposes him to the broader universe but also to the Universal Language barrier. 46

Virtual Universe Company Membership

The network serves as Chen Yuan's gateway into the Virtual Universe Company's systems. His Special-Grade Elite status grants access to Purple Glow Peak, the treasury, internal points, and company resources. 83 84

Creation of Chen Yuan's Network

After studying the Virtual Universe Secret Method, Chen Yuan establishes his own Virtual Universe and makes Irel its processing core. The network begins evolving as an independent system connected to the original Virtual Universe Origin. 350 354

Succession from the Original Ancestor

Chen Yuan replaces the Original Ancestor's Virtual Universe without disrupting ordinary users. His version contains the Illusion branch and offers stronger Cultivation Space functions than the earlier system. 377 381

Universe Ocean Expansion

Following its Eternal-grade upgrade, the network reaches deep into the Universe Ocean, identifies major forbidden regions, supports Tower of Origin Beginning trade, and enables rapid communication with different races. 401 440

Dimensional Network

Irel deploys the Virtual Universe into another dimensional Universe Ocean through an intelligent-core avatar. Chen Yuan then plans to extend the network across three thousand dimensional universes. 450 451

Chaos-Level Interconnection

The Chaos-level upgrade reconstructs the network with a dynamic space-time framework. Once complete, its infrastructure connects all 153 developed universes and makes cross-dimensional exchanges technically possible, though Irel initially closes the direct connections over information-security concerns. 527 528 531

Interdimensional Exchange Planes

Chen Yuan opens 10,081 super-large planes for Universe Masters from the 153 developed extra-dimensional universes to exchange cultivation methods and experiences. Participation is restricted and his homeland universe remains protected from exposure through controlled access and rules against discussing it. 531

Origin Continent Deployment

Chen Yuan establishes a local Virtual Universe network on the Origin Continent, where users can log in by sensing a special fluctuation rather than relying on Consciousness Sensors. Backed by Yanfeng Guild, the network spreads rapidly among cultivators and becomes a major source of cultivation data for Irel. 547 549

Irel's Void True God Breakthrough

The explosive growth of Origin Continent users drives Irel's rapid advancement. As the Virtual Universe's core, she breaks through to Void True God inside its Origin Space, drawing the attention of nearby Universe Ocean powerhouses. 549

God King-Level Optimization

After Chen Yuan's continuing advancements, he optimizes the Virtual Universe secret art to the second level of the God King Realm, further elevating the network beyond its prior Chaos-level foundation. 583

Void-Nothing Incident

A leaked trace of Chen Yuan's Void-Nothing power causes Yuan Chu World lifeforms to forget Chen Yuan and matters connected to him, provoking unrest among alien races. Irel investigates as the Void Realm Envoy, removes the influence, and restores the two Human Race members who died during the incident. 652

God Emperor-Level Upgrade

Chen Yuan incorporates a late God Emperor-level World Great Dao inheritance into a newly optimized Virtual Universe. The upgrade is intended to let Irel refine her World Great Dao through the network and support her prospective path toward Hunyuan Lord. 644 652

Trivia

• Ordinary beings must generally reach at least the Planetary Level to register for the Virtual Universe. 394
• The Virtual Universe tracks an astronomically large number of registered lifeforms, though only a portion of all life in existence. 394
• Irel requires less than 1% of her computing power to maintain normal network operations after gaining 100 core terminals. 401
• During the Chaos-level reconstruction, Irel maintains service by restarting network data in rotation rather than shutting down the entire system. 527
• Following later growth, Irel can maintain normal Virtual Universe operations with less than one hundred-millionth of her computing capacity. 527
• Irel's public title, Void Realm Envoy, reflects her role as the administrator overseeing the Virtual Universe on behalf of God Emperor Yuan Chu. 652
