Core Member System
Four Secret Realms
The Company’s Core Layer is divided into four secret realms. Placement is not permanent: weaker members may be demoted, while stronger members retain or improve their standing through qualification battles 44.
| Secret Realm | Known placement or function |
|---|---|
| Primal Secret Realm | Highest documented tier; its Universe Level quota is normally three members, though Qin Ming and Ailuos expanded it to five temporarily 31 |
| Primordial Secret Realm | Assigned to tournament ranks 3rd–10th; Blood Luo World is located within it 24 40 |
| Heaven and Earth Secret Realm | Assigned to tournament ranks 11th–100th 24 |
| End-of-the-World Secret Realm | Assigned to tournament ranks 101st–1,000th 24 |
At the World Lord Level, the Primal Secret Realm has 100 positions and holds qualification battles every 100,000 years; its Domain Lord Level has 10 positions and holds battles every 1,000 years 44.
Primal Secret Realm Privileges
- Members receive a personal estate, a guard corps, and household staff selected by the Company 34.
- A Primal Secret Realm member’s guard captain is an Undying God; Qin Ming was assigned the King-level Immortal Aisi 31 34.
- Members may apply for a permanently stationed Undying instructor, with at least Marquis-level strength, for one-on-one guidance 31.
- Members can access extensive treasury records on special lifeforms, cultivation resources, and non-absolutely-classified information according to their authority level 34.
- Core members may use nutrient pods to advance to the peak of their current cultivation rank without prolonged energy accumulation 36 67.
Training and Administration
Initial Universe and Chaos City
The Company sends selected geniuses to the Initial Universe for cultivation, where visible spatial cracks and repairing law threads allow direct observation of universal origin laws 25. Qin Ming was sent to Chaos City under the Company’s highest-level training arrangements after his tournament performance 23.
Training Missions
The Company uses real-world missions as life-and-death training for secret-realm members 39.
| Mission tier | Historical mortality rate |
|---|---|
| Safe | 0% |
| Normal | 10% |
| Difficult | 20% |
| Dangerous | 50% |
| Desperate | 90% |
A first-time Dangerous Tier mission carries a calculated 78.2% mortality rate, prompting an explicit system warning before acceptance 39.
Domain Lord Assignments
Once a Core Layer member reaches the Domain Lord level, Company rules require practical service as a regional governor or equivalent post, generally in the member’s home universe kingdom 46.
Qin Ming accepted service in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom and was formally appointed Inspector Envoy of its Company division. The position grants independent authority to investigate, monitor, and audit the division’s Martial, Commerce, and Military Departments 46 47.
Outer Battlefield Support

- Its battlefield network can display nearby Human and allied coordinates within one billion kilometers when a user remains connected, and can broadcast distress signals to Humans and allies within ten billion kilometers 75.
- Military merits may be exchanged for treasures through the military system or converted into Company points by eligible members 79.
Security and Information Control
Qin Ming’s performance in the seventh Trial Tower prompted the Company and other major Human factions to halt public broadcasts, limiting his exposure to potential foreign-race assassinations 19 20.
Chaos City Lord subsequently classified all information concerning Qin Ming as the race’s highest secret. Access to his Company and Human-race database records was restricted to Universe Masters and above 22.
The Company also:
- Ordered Ganwu Kingdom Lord to personally guard Qin Ming’s original body and escort him to the Initial Universe 22 23.
- Promised the highest level of covert protection for Qin Ming’s family in the Primal Universe 23.
- Monitors connected members’ life levels, then conducts real-world confirmation after a detected breakthrough 46.
- Maintains stringent clearance restrictions around sensitive battle footage; even Universe Venerables may be unable to access restricted records 83.
