Overview
The Virtual Universe Company operates across almost the entire original universe within Human Race territory. Every high-level universe nation has a branch, while lower-level nations maintain smaller offices on their capital planets; commercial planets such as Mengyu Planet instead host service points for account services. 29
Its Virtual Universe network enables users to communicate, train, access information, make purchases, undertake activities, and enter specialized virtual planes. Qi Tian gains access after becoming a Beihua Empire citizen and opening an account at the Mengyu Planet service point. 28 29

Star Brilliance Secret Realm
Acquisition and Development
The Virtual Universe Company discovered the Star Brilliance Secret Realm when it consisted of more than a dozen super star fragments inhabited by indigenous populations and Immortal powerhouses. The fragments produced valuable metal minerals, though not materials important enough to justify strict Human Race supervision. 75
The company initially investigated the realm, displayed military force, and approached the native Immortals for cooperation. It supplied low-end technology, A-grade starships, daily-use technology, and common cultivation secret techniques in exchange for mining labor and cooperation. 75
A conflict later emerged between native Immortals who cooperated and those who refused. The non-cooperating side lost the ensuing war, after which the company gained control of the entire secret realm. 75
The realm's Guardian, a Universe Venerable and the branch's highest authority, forcibly condensed the super star fragments into one landmass. Millions of native World Lords then created land to fill the gaps, producing Star Brilliance Continent: a super-continent containing 12 Immortal kingdoms and a population exceeding one quintillion. 75
Policies and Restrictions
- Talented natives may join the company's internal organization and enter the wider universe. 59 75
- The company has invested technology into the continent but does not permit unrestricted technological development. 75 78 82
- Star Brilliance natives cannot access the Human Race's Virtual Universe; local city networks offer only approximately 70% realism and limited cross-city communication. 78
- The company purchases locally manufactured parts at low prices, assembles them itself, and circulates the finished products in the universe. 78
- Internal members are barred by confidentiality agreements from exporting prohibited technologies, including certain low-end biotechnology. 82
- The company retains detailed intelligence for missions but intentionally supplies trainees only with basic information to preserve the trial's value. 78
Rebel Alliance
Descendants of Immortal families defeated during the original conflict formed the Rebel Alliance, believing that the company usurped their world and caused the deaths or disappearances of native Immortals. 75 80 83
The company is fully aware of the Rebel Alliance's structure and activities. It allows the organization to continue because Noah Branch elites require enemies for training; otherwise, company-loyal native World Lords could eliminate it. 75 82
Military Role
The company jointly manages cosmic armies within its territories alongside the Giant Axe Dojo and the 504 Universe Kingdoms. On the Outer-Domain Battlefield, it maintains a dedicated logistics department staffed by Immortals and coordinates battlefield-sector administration. 168
Qi Tian and his group also use the Virtual Universe for simulated combat drills before entering a Machine Race combat zone. 170
