``` "Pan Yi Secret Realm: maximum known diameter, 150,000 light-years. The realm as a whole is highly dangerous, but Immortal Gods can explore it. However, it contains seven extremely dangerous zones where even Universe Venerables face a high risk of death.
"Current number of explorers: 792,560,000."
"Note: Universe Venerable level beings exist among this realm's native races. Do not enter their territories."

Its core contains twelve high-risk 'gravitational vortex zones,' where even Universe Venerables risk death if trapped."
"Current number of explorers: 3.2 billion."
