Government and Institutions
Sovereign and Nobility
- Lord Qianwu holds the country’s highest position. Beneath him are powerful Marquis- and King-level experts 5.
- Marquis titles do not necessarily indicate Marquis Immortal strength. The sovereign can bestow the title for outstanding service; attaining that combat rank independently carries greater prestige 5.
- King Qianlong serves as Grand Elder of the Ganwu Royal Family and conveys Lord Qianwu’s greetings at Qin Ming’s welcoming banquet 48.
Virtual Universe Company Ganwu Branch
The Ganwu Branch manages matters involving the Virtual Universe Company’s interests throughout the country. Although nominally associated with Ganwu, it represents the company itself; even Lord Qianwu must cooperate with it on certain matters 47.
| Office or Division | Function or Known Personnel |
|---|---|
| Inspector Envoy | Qin Ming’s appointment grants investigative and supervisory authority over all three departments, including power of life and death 47. |
| Martial Department | One of the three departments subject to the Inspector Envoy’s oversight 47. |
| Commerce Department | One of the three departments subject to the Inspector Envoy’s oversight 47. |
| Military Department | One of the three departments subject to the Inspector Envoy’s oversight 47. |
| Department heads | Black Annihilation Marquis, Purple Lightning Marquis, and Golden Feather Marquis welcome Qin Ming and introduce him to Ganwu’s leading figures 47 48. |
- Qin Ming’s appointment requires senior company approval because of its extensive authority 46.
- His impending arrival alarms officials concerned that an investigation could expose their misconduct 47.
- The branch builds Qin Family Manor in western Xiangshui City on Qiongyu Planet. The nearly thousand-kilometer-wide estate is completed in three days after the previous occupants are relocated 47.
Military
- Third Star Sector Army — Commanded by “Extinction Blade King” Moro, described as one of Ganwu’s military pillars 48.
- Ninth Legion / Ninth Army Group — Consists of 100 armies. Qin Ming mobilizes it against the Zerg-controlled Yaohai Family 64.
- Fifty armies surround the Yaohai Ancestral Star and block escape routes.
- The remaining fifty conduct simultaneous operations against the family’s scattered personnel across Ganwu 64.
Talent Development
Ganwu Secret Realm
Lord Qianwu directs a nationwide effort to select more than one hundred million geniuses and provide exceptional secret realms, resources, and inheritances. Before the tournament, he addresses tens of thousands of trainees and demands that they supply half of Ganwu’s preliminary qualifiers 4 11.
- Discipleship incentive: He initially promises personal discipleship to anyone reaching the universe-wide finals’ top ten 4.
- Limits of the system: Despite immense investment and sustained training, Ganwu struggles for many years to produce contestants capable of consistently reaching the overall top hundred or top ten 18.
Ganwu Dojo
- The Ganwu Dojo is one of the higher-level institutions that absorbs the country’s strongest emerging talents. Others enter major human organizations such as the Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Dojo 10.
- Qin Xue trains at the dojo under Lord Qianwu’s supervision. He initially prevents her from undertaking outside adventures because her strength remains insufficient 50.
History and Major Events
Peak Genius Tournament
Ganwu’s preliminary registration exceeds 952.7 billion contestants, with competitors distributed among 100 independent virtual worlds. The country ultimately selects 1,000 representatives for the universe-wide competition 4 10.
| Event | Ganwu’s Involvement |
|---|---|
| Preselection | Qin Ming finishes first in the Eighth World Sector, bringing unprecedented attention to the Windfall Empire 9. |
| Finalist assessment | A Ganwu Immortal judges that only Qin Ming currently has the qualifications to reach the universe-wide top thousand 10. |
| Finals delegation | Lord Thirteen leads the thousand representatives by Lord Qianwu’s order. The team receives Building 0989 at the finals venue 13. |
| Trial Tower rankings | Qin Ming takes an overwhelming overall lead, overturning outside expectations of Ganwu’s performance 15 17. |
| Direct intervention | After Qin Ming reveals extraordinary Law fusion, the Chaos City Lord orders Lord Qianwu to protect his true body and escort him to the Initial Universe 22. |
| Other representatives | Ruoxi earns Virtual Universe Company Core Member status and admission to the End-of-the-World Secret Realm, but does not qualify for the final hundred-person arena stage 25. |
Before the finals, rival teams openly mock Ganwu as a likely last-place finisher. Qin Ming’s rise reverses that humiliation: celebrations spread through Ganwu’s virtual forums, game worlds, and public spaces, while young supporters form large fan groups around him 13 17.
Lord Qianwu personally retrieves Qin Ming from Lanfeng Planet and escorts him to Chaos City. After Qin Ming becomes the Chaos City Lord’s disciple, Qianwu invites him to address him as “Brother Qianwu” and promises to safeguard the Qin Family 24 25 27.
Qin Ming’s Inspector Envoy Appointment
After reaching Domain Lord level, Qin Ming chooses Ganwu for his external posting so that he can remain close to his family. He subsequently takes office as Inspector Envoy of the Virtual Universe Company Ganwu Branch 46 47.
His welcoming banquet on Qiongyu Planet gathers nearly all of Ganwu’s major power holders. Guests include royal representative King Qianlong, military commander Moro, numerous Marquis Immortals, and Hu Yanbo 47 48.
During a later family reunion, Qin Ming encourages careful expansion of the Qin Family’s businesses and connections within Ganwu. He explicitly warns his relatives not to break the law or expect his office to shield them from punishment 50.
Later Developments
Lord Qianwu continues following Qin Ming’s achievements. When Qin Ming passes the World Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain, Qianwu sends congratulations, reaffirms the Qin Family’s safety, and invites him to visit. Qin Ming asks him to continue guiding Qin Xue before departing for the Outer Battlefield 73 74.
After becoming Immortal, Qin Ming returns to Ganwu, travels to a desolate star region, and establishes his Divine Kingdom by merging his Internal World with a Space Fragment 104.
