Several weeks have passed since Aria began implementing her revenge plan on Joon, and she is currently using her clone to act in her place in the real world. Her clone usually spends most of the time playing and training with her brother Lorcan Mistborn and when it has free time it spends its time in the family library researching various topics including Technology, Infrastructure, history, Culture , Religion, Agriculture and lastly the Social and political Structure of major kingdoms located in Toril.
On the other hand the real her spends most of her time within her internal world training, monitoring Joon vital signs while carefully documenting and analyzing the info Joons clone shares with the aid of her servant Dream while still researching ways of enhancing her power and intel gathering methods, and after staying within her internal world for 3 weeks she had found time to study and research the various artifacts her father had given her, assisted and aided by her advance black silverium guard called Talon, the one artifact that she found most interesting, was the allspark, which was around two story tall and housed in one of the large storage facilities within her internal world.
"Good afternoon, my lady. Have you been able to figure out what this artifact is?" Talon asks. "No, the only info I have, according to the storage info, is that Bhaal bought this hard, cubed-shaped construct called an all spark during an auction held in the Celestial God Country, which cost him around 5 billion mixed yuan units." Aria answers. "Whaat!! 5 billion mixed yuan units. Just how much wealth does your father have?" Talon asks Aria, "I know he is rich, but still using 5 billion in a single purchase is ridiculous."
"Honestly, I don't know, he once gave me 50 Billion Universe Coins, 200 million Ganwu Coins, 500 million Black Dragon Coins, and 100 Billion Silver Blue coins when I became his direct disciple. I wish he had given me gold, which is actually useful in this world. I have stored them in my lower vault. I suppose you haven't visited there yet." Aria says to Talon, who is momentarily stunned, "Wait, what? You say that as if it is normal. Seriously, even the standard wealth for a normal low-level Immortal General, also called Immortal army Lord, is typically 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units, and you mean to tell me that he bought this artifact for 5 billion mixed yuan units? It is simply ridiculous." Talon says to Aria.
"What is the currency like in the origin continent?" Aria asks as he continues to monitor several holograms, which currently have various readings on them." Master Aria, I don't think you fully grasp how vast your wealth is. In my universe, your wealth rivals even that of immortal kings.' Allow me to provide a perspective on Immortals' wealth from the Ganwu Universe Country. The standard, typical wealth for even a low-level Immortal General, a being who has surpassed mortality and achieved true immortality, is approximately 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units." Talons says as he opens a holographic screen showing various images and videos of the Ganwu universe county.
"The funds you possess converted to Mixed Yuan Units are roughly 5 million Mixed Yuan Units. You are effectively starting your path to cultivation with the personal liquid assets equivalent to five hundred high-ranking Immortal Generals combined, and that is before accounting for the value of your artifacts. To put it bluntly, Lady Aria: while the Immortal General scrapes by with tens of thousands of units, your father spent the equivalent of 500,000 Immortal General fortunes on a single piece of hard, cubed metal, the All Spark!
Your own initial wealth is a galactic fortune, ensuring your stability and freedom across many star fields. Yet, the cost of that single artifact proves that your personal gift is merely a pittance, a casual gesture from the coffers of your father, whose wealth rivals that of a Universe Venerable."
"Lady Aria, to further contextualize the wealth we just discussed, I shall now detail the power and scale of the Ganwu Universe Country the highest-level human civilization and the location where your father became a citizen of and bought an entire star field called the Auroran starfield, for around 2.6 million mixed units" Talon announced, bringing up a dazzling, multi-galactic projection on the holographic screen.
The Ganwu Universe Country is a monumental cosmic space spanning millions of light-years in diameter, considered one of the Human Race's highest-level universe civilizations. It is led by the powerful Lord of Ganwu and occupies the entirety of the Ganwu Main Star Sector. Its sheer size is difficult for a native of Toril to grasp when compared to Toril; this planet is as insignificant as a grain of salt: its jurisdiction encompasses roughly 13,000 Starfields, which contain over 100 million Galaxies, and nearly 1,000 medium-level civilizations, including the famed Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Just to get a scope of the size of a starfield and galaxies, just know that A normal galaxy is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, while A Starfield can have a diameter of several million light-years and typically contains 1,000 to 20,000 galaxies, like Bhaal's Auroran star field, which is around 156 million light-years, so imagine what 13,000 Starfields would look like. Generally, A star field usually forms a medium-level empire. For example, Bhaal ruled the Auroran empire, which he led under a faction known as the independent. Usually, 10,000 starfields make up an average Star Sector, which is commonly known as a universe country.
The Ganwu Universe Country is a colossal power center, defined by an astronomical concentration of cultivators and military strength. Its standing military is formidable, featuring a core of over 10,000 Immortal-level fighters. This elite force was buttressed by an immense mid-tier population, numbering over 1 million World Masters and an astonishing 1 billion Universe Level cultivators. The true scale of their dominance is reflected in their youth population, where 678.5 billion Stellar Levels were deemed competent enough to compete in the prestigious Pinnacle Genius Battle, a testament to the sheer volume of talent the country cultivated.
It was during these legendary battles that Bhaal, your father, utilized a secret technique of the Celestial God Country called the heaven ascendance pathway, which allowed him to lower his cultivation and hide his cultivation to match a stellar level 9 cultivator so as to participate in the pinnacle battles, where he ranked number 17 and first established his formidable reputation. He emerged as a mysterious stellar-level cultivator representing an upstart human clan known as the Bhaalspawn clan, despite his true power already being at the immortal army lord level. This clan, categorized as deified human beings and considered a relatively new clan of the human race, had recently registered and joined with the powerful Virtual Universe Company. Bhaal fabricated his origin story, claiming his clan originated on Eden Prime, a planet within the Auroran Star Field.
The truth was, He had personally annihilated the native Edenians because they were an obstacle to his plans. He did this because he had no interest in ruling the native Edenians for he so no value in cultivating individuals who did not even have an Apprentice level worrior and still had no standing in universal matters, So he decided to kill all of them and then pinned the genocide on the region's frequently sighted automatons, Afterword's he decided to used the planet of Eden prime as his starting base of operations, After 500 years of battling the automaton of the Auroran starfield he decided to travel to ganwu Universe county where he registered as a citizen and when asked about his background he fabricated it claiming that he came from Eden Prime whose natives were his race, called the Bhaalspawn, who had been killed by an automaton fleet that sought the planet's rare metals. To substantiate his lie, he staged the scene and placed several thousand skeleton remains of the previous Edenians, which he had personally modified to match his bhaalspawn genetic code and scattered them across various regions of Eden Prime, while also placing them together with various broken automaton puppets which he had previously defeated, making it seem as if a huge battle had occurred, and presenting himself as the Bhaalspawn clan's sole, hardened survivor, whose power had grown to the stellar level 9 stage Level through endless combat with the mechanical foes despite him knowing that his true power had already reached the Immortal Army level, he did this so not to arouse suspicion and with no witness to collaborate his testimony, none would doubt his word."Talon says to Aria. "What!!! to eliminate an entire planet alone, how the hell am I supposed to compete with that? Even when I conquered Westeros, I had powerful armies at my command, but Bhaal conquered an entire planet by himself," Aria says mentally as Talon continues with her lecture
"Bhaal's entry into the Virtual Universe Company was swiftly followed by a monumental financial transaction that shocked the economic landscape. He sold 10 million E9-grade automaton puppets, which he had previously defeated, each individually valued at approximately 1 million Mixed Yuan Units. This singular sale instantly netted him a staggering sum of 10 billion Mixed Yuan Units. Leveraging this immense wealth, Bhaal later purchased the entire Auroran Star Field during the Ganwu auction for a mere 2.6 million Mixed Yuan Units, a strategic move that sent powerful ripples throughout the Virtual Universe Company the price was considered cheap but no sane immortal would want to buy a star field infested by automatons, This move elevated Bhaals standing with most commending his bravery to buy such a dangerously positioned starfield despite him being only at the stellar level, making him be seen as a figure of incredible might and courage who was ready to even face one of humanities most feared race The automatons.
The Automaton Race is one of the six Pinnacle Races of the Original Universe. Living in proximity to the Human, Demon, and Zerg Races, they are constantly engaged in ongoing conflicts with these groups. Renowned for their advanced technology, incredible calculation speed, and commanding prowess when using automaton puppets, the Automaton Race is widely feared due to every one of the Automaton Race being living AI's. The technology of the entire Race has advanced to an unbelievable level, with their highest ranking members possessing a rare technological artifact known as the Evolution Heart, which allows them to sense original laws, allowing them to cultivate akin to the other races of the original universe; no one can compare to them when it comes to technology.
In the years that followed Bhaal fought Bhaal strategically used the technique Heaven ascendance pathway to make it seem as if he was a genius who grew in power the more he fought eventually dealing with most of the remaining remnants of the Automaton race, who were stationed in the Auroran starfield, but let a few remnants of the automaton remain in various star systems across the Auroran star fields, whom he constantly monitored from his main headquarters located in Eden Prime and when they created enough Automaton puppets to attack his territory, he would hunt the automatons, ensuring their leaders survived leaving them to go and create more automaton puppets which he would defeat and sell their remains to the Virtual universe company, by this time he had stopped hiding his cultivation and returned it back to match his original Immortal army lord level where he placed his god country in Eden Prime. At this point, he was elevated as a VIP member due to his large, high-value merchandise of E9-grade automaton and automaton ships, which he took whenever he defeated powerful members of the automaton race, especially those ranking as immortals. Basically, he had turned the automatons who were constantly attacking his territory into his farms for obtaining their automaton puppets and ships, which were highly valued among humanity.
During his largest haul yet, he brought and sold 97 million E9-grade automaton and 680 D-grade automaton ships, earning an estimated 580 billion mixied units. Following this display of wealth and power, Bhaal was eventually invited join the Hongmeng alliance, the Huge Axe Dojo, and even the Ancestral God Sect, but in the end, he only chose to align with the Hongmeng alliance and The Virtual Universe Company," When he joined the exclusive Hongmeng Alliance as a new Immortal Army Lord he had been nicknamed the title of Murder King Bhaal due to his unquenchable lust for battle and his habit of hunting warrior cultivators from enemy races of humanity with his main targets being warriors from the enemy Pinnacle races who included
The Demon Race, one of the six peak Races in the Original Universe. This race is composed of monsters with relatively high intelligence. Their numbers and wisdom are not inferior to humans, and their innate talent surpasses that of humans. The concept of bloodline is extremely potent among them. They possess numerous Royal Clans and eighteen Imperial Clans. Due to their large body size, with some having their true bodies reaching 10 kilometers in length, relative to normal ships.
Basically, at the lower power echelons, the size of Demons often remains manageable. For instance, many standard or average Demons, such as those belonging to the Na Shi Race, are typically described as being under 2 meters tall in their standard combat or civilian forms. These dimensions allow them to blend into various environments and utilize smaller spacecraft without issue. As Demons ascend the power hierarchy, their potential size increases exponentially. The official records note that high-level Demons develop bodies that are often too huge for normal ships, forcing them to employ specialized methods for interstellar travel. They typically travel using puppets made of alloys while keeping their true bodies within World Rings, while others rely on Interstellar Battleships for transportation. Ultimately, a Demon's size is intrinsically tied to its individual power and life gene level, allowing for a vast and intimidating range in scale from being comparable to a human to becoming a colossal, planet-sized, or even light-year-sized entity.
The Zerg Race, also known as the Bug Race, is one of the six primary races in the Original Universe. Unlike the Human and Demon Races, the Zerg do not consist of various species, and their population is relatively small. However, they compensate for this by utilizing clones or slaves to expand their numbers.,
The Crystal Race. The Crystal Race is one of the six pinnacle peak races in the Original Universe. They share the same fundamental nature of life and are deeply united, even more so than the Automaton Race. In particular, some of the powerful members of the Crystal Clan collaborate closely, their combined strength multiplying exponentially. All members possess flawless features, regardless of gender, and their bodies, crafted from crystal, resemble the very essence of the universe itself. Distinctive golden eyes shine between their brows, adding to their majestic presence.
Lastly the Prison Race. The Prison Race is one of the six peak races within the Original Universe. Originating from a perilous region of the original universe, their physical forms, appearances, and life essences varied widely, ranging from rock creatures to flesh-and-blood beings, and even to metal entities all united by malevolent intent. Regardless of their diverse natures, they all emerged from that treacherous area they dubbed 'Prison,' which inspired their name.
The only reason why Bhaal did not bother enslaving Automatons was because automatons don't possess souls so it is impossible to enslave them through soul techniques. It was rumored that Bhaal possessed a powerful Soul Type high Arcana treasure that allowed him, who was a warrior, to enslave beings of the same cultivation and below, provided he met the required conditions. This enabled him to enslave beings just like spirit masters but it was rumored he had difficulties whenever he tride to enslave a Zerge member. It is rumored that Bhaal killed around 28 immortal marquis from the automaton race, 96 immortal marquis from the demon race, and 5 immortal kings, 1 from each enemy of the human race, who included Ganra of the demon Race, Lysara of the Zerg Race, Aelion of the Automaton Race, Korrath from the Crystal Race, and Varkon of the Prison Race, all who wanted to seize his treasures. During this time, your father gained a new title of Dread Lord Bhaal from the enemy factions, making very few immortals willing to take him on one-on-one. and due to him being a powerful member of the Hongmeng Alliance, he has absolute control over his Auroran Starfield territory; even the powerful Ganwu Universe Country has no administrative authority while here, and as long as he maintains the killing limit, even the Virtual Universe Company won't interfere.
In the Original Universe, Power and Strength dictate law; there is no explicit, universal "killing limit" for one human killing another. Instead, the rules and consequences of killing other humans are highly contextual, depending on jurisdiction, power level, and the specific circumstances.
Here is a breakdown of the killing rules in different contexts:
Virtual Universe Company and Human Faction: Within the main human territories and organizations like the Virtual Universe Company and the Huge Axe Dojo, there are strict laws. Killing fellow humans, particularly high-level experts like Immortal Kings, is generally forbidden and punishable.
Extraterritorial Battlefield: This area is an exception. It's a chaotic battlefield where different races, including humans, fight each other. Conflict and death are common, and World Master soldiers even have contribution point quotas they must reach before they can leave. However, even here, an expert from the same camp attempting to murder another in a treacherous way can lead to severe consequences if discovered.
Planetary Owners: If a person or entity owns a planet for example, he bought the planet from the Virtual Universe Company, then he or she is legally protected from outside interference. The owner can do almost anything on their own planet, but they generally cannot kill more than 50 percent of the native inhabitants. However, the exact limits can be flexible if one is in a universe that allows things like slavery.
Higher Levels: As Cultivators reach the levels of True God, Universe Master, and God King, they become immensely powerful and operate under different sets of rules. At these levels, the ability to "kill" becomes complicated due to concepts like divine bodies, miniature universes, and the ability to reverse time or revive the dead (for the most powerful beings). Being of this level can kill entire weak races numbering in the billions without fearing repercussions.
In essence, while killing a fellow human is a serious offense in controlled human space, the sheer scale of the universe and the constant warfare with other races mean that it is a common occurrence in dangerous areas, and the consequences depend more on who the victim is, their backing, and the location of the act. For example, cultivators like King Nightmare Candle, who has a powerful backing because he is the son of the powerful genius of the Huge axe Dojo, Venerable Fire Erosion, a renowned and powerful Universe Venerable, has been known to go on tantrums that have led to millions of deaths, but due to his backing, most organizations generally don't act unless absolutely necessary
It is rumored that by the time Bhaal joined the Hongmeng Alliance he already had a vast soul slave army comprising of 1000 Universe Level soldiers, 300 Domain Masters, and 80 World Masters which he had personally enslaved, It was also said that Bhaal had 2 powerful spirit masters servant that usually stayed in the background appearing only in dire moments, it is still unclear if they are his slaves or servant since they did not have soul imprints showing that they were enslaved they however followed Bhaals orders without question.
The first servant was called Karadun a powerful domain spirit master from the Na shi race who could stand on equal footing with most world masters who also had a soul slave army comprising of 200 spirit world who also had soul slaves that when put together had 10,234 universe level warriors, 90 universe level spirit masters, 33,000 domain master warriors and 459 domain level spirit masters who now followed their new master Bhaal and were completely loyal to him.
Bhaals second servant who was her strongest servant is a well built Saiyan woman with red hair, who was a spirit master at the Immortal Marquis level, who also had a soul slave army comprising of 7 Immortal Marquis spirit masters, who also had enslaved many soul slaves who now followed their new master Bhaal when combined they comprised of 29,450 universe level warriors 463 universe level spirit masters, 58,674 domain master warriors 2,498 domain level spirit masters, 3,859 world master spirit masters, 6,780 world master warriors and 260 immortal army lords who now served Bhaal with absolute loyalty.
It is said that these soul slaves are the ones charged with managing different star systems in the Auroran star fields under the faction known as the Independent. They did not focus on direct battles like the slave directly under Bhaal. Hope you get why Bhaal was feared and respected even by beings at the Limit Immortal King level, to the point where he was ranked number 12 on the assassination list of the automaton race, 15 on the assassination list of the zerge race, 6 on the assassination list of the crystal race, and 23 on the prison race assassination list. You need to understand that to even be placed on the top 1 billion, you need to have caused problems that affect an entire galactic race, so imagine what Bhaal must have done to be so high in the list. The thing that made the other races take caution when dealing with Bhaal was because of his advance mastery of the law of space, law of light and law of lightning which made him an extremely difficult opponent and was known for using fusion laws that multiplied his own combat power by 100 fold, combined with wealth he got after obtaining so many slaves it made him an extremely dangerous opponent, and with his wealth which grew by the billions to the point where he had to open more accounts aside from the ones he had with the virtual universe and the hongmeng alliance. He opened 2 new accounts, one he opened with the Universe Star River Bank and the other with the Universe First Bank, becoming a 5-star client in both.
"Lady Aria, your father, Bhaal, was not just wealthy; he was a cosmic financial behemoth in the original universe. The necessity of splitting his vast fortune between the Universe Star River Bank and the Universe First Bank was a direct consequence of the sheer volume of his acquired assets," Talon explained.
"Bhaal's relentless campaign against enemy warrior cultivators and the automaton race generated wealth at an explosive, unprecedented rate. He accumulated currency not just from the sale of advanced automaton salvaged to the Virtual Universe Company, but also from the treasures contained within the space and world rings of every enemy he defeated and every slave he acquired. This meant his personal storage, including his Space Rings and World Rings, were constantly filling up with billions of different universe currencies, a literal mountain of treasure that was difficult to organize and leverage effectively."
"To manage this astronomical wealth and, more importantly, to ensure it grew passively, your father decided to deposit the amounts he did not immediately need, specifically 20 billion Mixed Yuan Units, into the two largest financial institutions of the Human Race. He strategically placed 10 billion Mixed Yuan Units in a locked savings account in each bank."
"Both the Universe Star River Bank (founded by Penggong Master) and the Universe First Bank (founded by Qingdong Master) use a client star ranking system based on capital requirements:
At the lowest tier, a 1-Star rating is typically the expected wealth for a Universe Level cultivator. Stepping up to a 2-Star rating requires a fortune of 10 Billion Universe Coins, the common level of wealth held by Domain Masters.
The jump to 3-Star wealth is significant, requiring 10 Mixed Units. This level grants the possessor the right to participate in the Basic-Level Ganwu auction and the ability to watch the prestigious Huge Axe Dojo Battles. This tier is commonly achieved by World Masters.
The 4-Star tier demands 10,000 Mixed Units, a wealth level typically reserved for Immortals or a few exceptionally lucky World Masters. Achieving this grants the right to participate in the Middle-Level Ganwu auction.
Finally, the highest visible tier, 5-Star wealth, requires a vast fortune of 10 Million Mixed Units. This level grants access to the High-Level Ganwu auction, where one can engage in major item buying and selling. This tier is almost exclusively maintained by powerful entities known as Universe Venerables or distinguished and wealthy Invincible Immortal Kings.
"By depositing 10 billion Mixed Yuan Units in each, Bhaal instantly surpassed the highest public tier, becoming a 5 Star Client in both Leviathan banks. This status granted him the right to participate in the most exclusive, High-Level Ganwu Auctions, both for buying and selling rare items, a status normally reserved for Universe Venerables."
"The funds were placed into a locked savings account offering a substantial return of 7.5% every 365 days (one year). This provided a steady, passive income stream that ensured his wealth would continue to compound by the billions, even while he was away battling or managing his domain. This financial maneuver was not just about security; it was a strategic move to access the highest echelons of Human civilization's economic power within the Original Universe."
Due to his vast wealth and slave army, very few individuals dared to provoke your father. It is also at the Hongmeng alliance where Bhaal acquired me in one of their auctions before placing me into one of his personal space rings for storage." Talon said as he shifted one of the holographic screens
"Returning to the topic of Ganwa Universe County, you need to first understand that all citizens who fall under the Ganwa Universe Country's vast jurisdiction appear on the Ganwu Continent when they connect to the Virtual Universe network. Furthermore, in an effort to maintain centralized power and control, the only dojo officially allowed to exist and accept disciples in bulk within the Ganwu Main Star Sector is the Ganwu Dojo, also founded by the Lord of Ganwu. But despite this overwhelming power, a World Master-level Huge Axe Warrior is still only considered a myth, a legendary anomaly even within this highest-level civilization of Ganwa Universe County. Economically, their influence is immense, with a major Ganwu Auction held every three years, exclusively for the 3-star and higher clients of the Universe Star River Bank and Universe First Bank who reside in Ganwu territory.
"Lady Aria, let me now explain the true scale of a starfield within the context of the Ganwu Universe Country," Talon stated, adjusting the holographic display to project a vast cosmic map.
A single, undeveloped star field is valued at approximately 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units (MYU). This number is critical because it is the exact same amount of wealth used to define a low-level Immortal General, who is also referred to as an Immortal Army Lord. This means that, technically, an Immortal General who has just achieved their rank could use their entire net worth to purchase a very barren or resource-poor star field. This places the value of a star field within the reach of a powerful cultivator, but only barely.
Now, consider your own wealth. Your starting gift from Bhaal after becoming his direct disciple is worth about 5 million Mixed Yuan Units. This means you could, right now, buy 500 of those basic, empty galaxies. However, the truly vast star fields, those with established infrastructure, rich mineral deposits, or high-value populations, are worth orders of magnitude more, ranging from 1 Million to 100 Million Mixed Yuan Units. Talon says to Aria. "Did my dad have many star fields if he had so much money?" Aria asks. "Not really, your father only had the Auroran starfield, he usually preferred to adventure in various secret regions, so he did not have time to bother with matters of ruling; he actually left that responsibility to his slaves," Talon replies
"Just, place that into context with your father's financial power. The single All Spark artifact Bhaal bought cost him 5 billion Mixed Yuan Units. That expenditure alone is enough to buy 500,000 basic star fields. This demonstrates that while a star field is the standard unit of territory for an Immortal, it is a trifle to a being of Bhaal's status, whose liquid assets eclipse the entire value of half a million star fields. "What about gold? How much is it worth in the original universe?"Aria asks Talon. " Not much, gold has very little value and is quickly rendered obsolete as a meaningful currency since it is not considered a standard universal currency. Meaning you will find difficulties in finding someone who would want gold currency. But according to Bhaal, the Celestial god country has its own set of currencies, and yes, gold is listed. 1,000 gold is equal to 1 Platinum coin, 1000 Platinum coins are equal to 1 Faerunian credit, 10,000,000 Faerunian credits are equal to 1 celestial credit, 10000 celestial credits are equal to 1 Cubic Meter Universe Crystals, 1 Cubic Meter Universe Crystals is equal to 1000 Universe Coins, and lastly 1,000,000,000,000 Universe Coins is equal to 1 Mixed Yuan Units. This is basically the currency system the great gods of the Faerunian pantheons use within the Celestial God Country. There are many other pantheon credits, but all of them have a fixed amount, with 10,000,000 pantheon credits being equal to 1 celestial credit, for example, Faerunian or even Cetic credits being equal to 1 celestial credit. "Damn, gods definitely work on a different scale of wealth. I don't think even a normal mortal can have a chance of competing." Aria says to Talon
"You talked about the Virtual Universe network, Ganwu Dojo, and Huge Axe organizations. What sort of organizations are they?" Aria asks Talon. "Okay let me explain each of them, lets start with Virtual Universe network, the Virtual Universe Network is not merely a network; it is humanity's 'Second World,' and it is the single most important asset controlled by the Human Race of the origin continent," Talon explained, the holographic projection now displaying a map of the Virtual Universe itself.
The Virtual Universe is a titanic infrastructure that encompasses all Human Race Territories within the Original Universe, making it the largest market and gathering place in the existence of the origin continent. It connects beings from the 1,008 Human Universe Countries, including the Ganwu Universe Country, and is overseen by the powerful Virtual Universe Company (VUC).
"Lady Aria, the Virtual Universe Company (VUC) is one of the pillars supporting the entire Human Race, and understanding its structure is crucial to comprehending the political dynamic of the original universe. I will now detail to you on the company's history, its virtual realm, and the hierarchy that governs its billions of members," Talon explained, the holographic screen shifting to display the VUC's complex organizational chart.
The Virtual Universe Company (VUC) is one of the Five Great Leviathans, the absolute apex organizations of the Human Race. It was created by Ancestor Yuan, the strongest being in the entire human race, specifically to manage the Virtual Universe Network (VUN). The VUC is the ultimate authority controlling all aspects of this parallel digital reality. Its physical headquarters are located at Primal Chaos City in the Beginning Universe. The Beginning Universe was created by Ancestor Yuan and is around 100 million light-years in diameter. It is a Miniature Universe, distinct from the larger Original Universe, and was created during his breakthrough to the Eternal True God level.
Ancestor Yuan is a Male Human of the Flesh and Blood Lifeform type, currently existing in the Third Reincarnation Era. His defining characteristic is his impossibly high Life Gene level of 10,000. He holds titles like Yuanzu and Original Ancestor, and is credited as the Creator of the Virtual Universe Company. He is currently listed as a God King in terms of cultivation, having mastered the Law of Space and the Law of Time, and specializing in the Great Dao of Virtual Realm and Illusory and Real Worlds. He maintains supreme authority as the Founder of the VUC and is an integral part of the Hongmeng Alliance.
Ancestor Yuan broke through to become a True God early in the Third Reincarnation Era, instantly elevating the Human Race from a Powerful Race to a Pinnacle Race. He possessed strength capable of delivering Top-Tier True God Level 10 attacks without needing Xeon Arcana, specializing primarily in Soul Attacks. His reign was absolute in the Original Universe; he became so dominant that even the Ancestral God Sect hesitated to provoke the Human Race. The Ancestral God Sect is feared due to its close connection to the Origin Will of the Original Universe, which grants its leaders immense power on par with True Gods and allows them to act as the Origin Will's mouthpiece despite them only being a Universe Master. This power, combined with their ownership of the dangerous Ancestral God Secret Region, makes them a formidable and respected force that others are reluctant to provoke.
In the Universe Ocean, he fought and defeated powerful entities like the Third True Master and the Divine Eye True Master. He is noted as one of the few True Gods to have successfully killed a rival True God, causing others to actively avoid confrontation with him.
He achieved all of this in a remarkably short timeframe, before his personal Miniature Universe, the Beginning Universe, had even completed its initial development stage. He guided future leaders, including the Huge Axe Creator and his three direct disciples: Primal Chaos City Leader, Darkness Master, and Ice Summit Master.
Ancestor Yuan's ambition extended beyond mere supremacy in the Universe Ocean. He determined that transcending reincarnation was a "trick" by the Origin Will of the Original Universe, designed to eternally suppress the transcender. To circumvent this, he formulated a plan of unparalleled audacity: to destroy the Origin Will and possess the entire Original Universe, replacing its mind with his own. He created the Virtual Universe technique specifically to spread his mind throughout the Original Universe as a prelude to possession. After the Huge Axe Creator achieved True God status, Ancestor Yuan initiated his takeover attempt. However, the Supreme Operation Laws, sensing what he was trying to do, retaliated, using the Laws to indefinitely suppress him. This suppression crippled his Miniature Universe, preventing the completion of its beginning stage, and blocked him from gaining the Divine Power necessary to improve his Divine Body despite possessing Void True God-level law comprehension and Eternal True God-level Willpower.
Even while suppressed, Ancestor Yuan never ceased guiding the Human Race. He was forced to delegate leadership of the VUC to the Primal Chaos City Leader. Only the most powerful beings in the Human Race know that he is still alive and residing in the Land of Origin of the Virtual Universe. I only got this information when Bhaal met him in a chance encounter, where he asked Bhaal if he wanted to be his disciple.
Ancestor Yuan, recognizing Bhaal's exceptional potential, extended an offer that was practically a cosmic lottery: he asked Bhaal to become his disciple. This was an opportunity of such staggering value that even a Universe Venerable would sacrifice everything they possessed to accept, as it meant direct tutelage from the strongest being in the Original Universe." Mistress, you must grasp the magnitude of the moment I am describing," Talon's synthesized voice lowered, resonating with gravity. "Ancestor Yuan's offer to Bhaal was not merely tutelage; it was an ascension, a guarantee of ultimate power. To be chosen was the highest honor in the Original Universe.
"But your father's pride is boundless. He did not merely decline; he spat upon the offer with a declaration of supreme independence:"
"My path is my own. Look for another. I have no wish to serve the Virtual Universe Company as your lap dog. I joined the Virtual Universe Company and the Hongmeng alliance only because our interests align with my own."
"This was a breathtaking defiance, a complete rejection of servitude to the man who founded the very structure that had nurtured Bhaal's power."
"The effect on Ancestor Yuan was instantaneous. He was visibly, profoundly annoyed by this unprecedented slight. The Ancestor, in response, didn't argue. He simply unleashed his fearsome Void True God-level aura, a crushing wave of power meant to instantaneously overwhelm and subdue any being within the original universe. It was a suffocating, absolute suppression."
"Yet, even under that monstrous, immense pressure, your father never broke. Bhaal, driven by his iron principles, refused to yield an inch of his sovereignty. His will remained unbent, his stance immovable."
"Ancestor Yuan observed this display of absolute ambition, pride, and arrogance. He realized Bhaal was unsuitable for the selfless, guiding responsibilities required of the Human Race's leadership. Recognizing the depth of that unyielding defiance, the Ancestor chose not to press further. He withdrew his aura, allowing Bhaal to continue pursuing his own, independent, and ultimately self-serving plans.
He knew of Bhaal's vast contributions to humanity through the various enemies he defeated, with one of his greatest contributions being when he assisted in the fight between 242 immortal marquis and 1293 immortal army lords from the demon race, who had been fighting Xia a renowned Immortal King of the Virtual Universe Company, who sacrificed herself in the battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race which occurred in the Extraterritorial Battlefield in order to allow the weaker human cultivators to escape and reinforcement who included your father to come and protect humanities camp. He knew that losing him would be a blow to the power and standing of humanity within the original universe. He understood that Bhaal had no interest in helping others, only ascension, a worthy but relatively empty trait that guided him."
Mistress, this incident was a catastrophic clash of wills between Bhaal and Ancestor Yuan, which is a tightly guarded secret of galactic proportions. Aside from your own awareness, only two living beings witnessed and retained knowledge of that terrifying confrontation."
The first is Ashante Dracovish, the fearsome Saiyan Spirit Master. During the clash, she bravely attempted to protect Bhaal using her soul techniques but was heavily injured by Ancestor Yuan's overwhelming aura. She is currently in your internal world stored in the high-security D2 Cryochamber, where she is in stasis, slowly recovering from the existential damage she sustained."
The second witness is the calculating Strategist Karadun, the silent warrior of the Na-shi race. He is currently charged with an eternal duty: protecting the entire Auroran Starfield, with his main focus being the critical planet known as Eden Prime. Karadun commands his own detachment of soul slaves, alongside those under Ashante's command till she recovers, maintaining this defensive perimeter until the day Bhaal returns to Eden Prime. "The only reason I possess this highly classified information is because I was engaged in the repair of the Dark Nebula Ship," Talon stated, providing the crucial context for the revelation. The Dark Nebula, a high-class F9 space ship belonging to Bhaal, had suffered a critical breakdown in one of the many secret regions that Bhaal was currently investigating, looking for information on an artifact known as the celestial prism. It was during these emergency repairs that the encounter took place.
Despite the remoteness of our location, Ancestor Yuan managed to find us instantly. He did not arrive in person; instead, he used the Virtual Universe to project his consciousness and locate our exact position. It was through this unique, highly intrusive manifestation of his power that Ancestor Yuan first appeared to Bhaal and her two servants, who were relaxing within the large ship.
Today, Ancestor Yuan continues his function as the ultimate sentinel, utilizing his pervasive Virtual Universe technique to monitor the vast majority of the Original Universe. He ensures the Human Race remains abreast of all crucial events and dangers. However, even with his near-omnipresent surveillance, the ultimate goals and machinations of the enigmatic being known as Sitting Mountain Guest, who created the Xeno Arcana known as the Star tower, a majestic, completely black, nine-light-years-tall nine-story tower made of unknown material. When seen on the 7th Battlefield, the tower appears to be surrounded by 9 endless, colorful nebula whirlpools that are simply mesmerizing. Its lowest level is not surrounded by the whirlpools and has nine entrances. Sitting Mountain Guest also cultivated rare, powerful talents like the Flame Emperor, who remain a mystery that even the Ancestor has yet to fully comprehend.
The VUC's leadership, while founded by Ancestor Yuan, is maintained by extremely powerful beings. Possessing Five Universe Masters. The company's highest-ranking active leader is the Primal Chaos City Leader, who is considered the third strongest Human in humanity after Huge Axe Creator and Ancestor Yuan.
The Virtual Universe Company (VUC) enforces a strict hierarchy across all members:
Core Members: These are the absolute geniuses, typically selected through Pinnacle Battles or through rare access purchased at major auctions (like the Ganwu Auction). They are organized into four Secret Realms, in descending order: Primal/Original, Absolute Beginning, Heaven and Earth, and Last Phase Secret Realms. Members below the realm of Immortal must address all Core Members as "Your Highness."
Internal Members: These are special elites and elite members (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3). They are recruited internally, often enjoying certain privileges within the organization.
External Members: This is the most unrestricted department, often consisting of cultivators who join through external organizations like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire Department. They face fewer internal restrictions but are barred from joining the highest power structures like the Battle-axe Colosseum.
The Virtual Universe Company has a rigorous system to cultivate its geniuses, progressing them from protection to life-or-death struggles:
Stellar Level: Treated as "newborn children." They remain in Primal Chaos City for protection and foundational training, so basically, even if you are a thousand years at the stellar level in the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, you are just a child.
Universe Level: They train safely in the VUC's Secret Realms, listening to Immortal lessons and taking on minor missions.
Domain Master: This is the phase of early responsibility. They command personal bodyguard teams and are sent to control territory in a Universe Country (acting as governors), marking the start of their involvement in universe affairs.
World Master: Considered "adults" entering their life-or-death struggles. They are placed in the most dangerous environments, exploring the deepest Secret Regions and fighting on the terrifying Extraterritorial Battlefield. Success at this stage leads one to eventually make a breakthrough and become an Immortal.
Core members operate within a unique economic system: they require Points to acquire items, skills, and resources. These Points are achieved exclusively by successfully completing missions assigned by the VUC. The VUC also oversees all high-level auctions, organizing events specifically for 3-star and higher clients of the major financial institutions (Universe Star River Bank and Universe First Bank)
In short, the Virtual Universe is not a fantasy simulation; it is a near-perfect replication of reality that consumes virtually no energy. Its ability to host training for even beings as powerful as Universe Venerables and Universe Masters is due to its origins: the VU was created by Ancestor Yuan during his fight with the Original Universe. He performed the 'Virtual Universe' technique, which coated the entire Original Universe with his very own divine power, but was suppressed by the. The processing power for this immense network is handled by Ancestor Yuan's Universe Master Automaton Race Soul Slave, making it a divine-level creation that only other True Gods can slightly hinder.
The VU can simulate 100% of reality, making it the ultimate training and commerce ground. Its capabilities cover every aspect of life and cultivation, including:
Cultivation & Training: Beings can comprehend Original Laws and learn and practice Martial Arts with absolutely no risk of physical injury. Locations like Thunderclap Island and the Tongtian Bridge serve as dedicated training grounds.
Commerce & Finance: It is humanity's largest market, allowing for instantaneous trading, buying, and selling of items. Complex financial activities like stocks, bonds, and settling bank accounts are conducted within the VU.
Social & Leisure: Beings can chat with friends across vast intergalactic distances, play virtual games, and enjoy simulations of delicious food, beautiful women, and other forms of entertainment.
To access The Virtual Universe, a being must be a Citizen of a Controlled Universe Country, possess a medium like an Awareness Helmet or an Artificial Intelligence to connect their consciousness, and hold a paid subscription, depending on the account opened, with the wealthiest usually choosing to open Anonymous accounts. Anonymous accounts have a limit of 100 years; they cannot go to 1000 or 10000 years like normal accounts. This means in order to keep one's account active, he or she will need to renew it every 100 years, even if he or she is a universe master level powerhouse.
The vast realm is organized into Virtual Universe Continents, with the number of continents matching the number of Human Controlled Universe Countries. For instance, citizens of the Ganwu Universe Country, like your father, connect on the Ganwu Continent when they log in.
The Virtual Universe Company leverages its control of the VU to host major events, including the Virtual Universe Company Auction, which attracts elites from every human territory. It also organizes the Pinnacle Battles twice every 10,000 years alongside the Huge Axe Dojo, serving as the ultimate stage for young genius competition. The system also handles the automatic appraisal of treasures, converting them into Treasure Points or Contribution Points earned in Primal Chaos City.
"Amazing !! Simply amazing, the humans from your universe must truly be something else. I wish someday we could go there."Aria says her eyes glazing with wonder and admiration. " The Virtual universe is truly incredible, but what I want to know is more about your world's Celestial God Country, which has even more powerful cultivators than our own," Talon says. "What do you mean ?" Aria asks. "You see in the entire origin universe the strongest beings who currently rule the entire original are only True gods from the various pinnacle race, it was only after analyzing Bhaals data base that I have learnt that my home the original universe is only a small region of the caged world known as the Original Continent, even if I were to compare the size of the virtual universe company and The Celestial God Country, the virtual universe network seems but a minor organization, do you even understand the entire The Original Universe is estimated to have a diameter of 10 trillion light-years. It is the largest celestial body in the Universe Ocean, which I have learned is part of the caged world known as the original continent, which is one of the vast caged worlds located in the cosmic sea. At first, I wondered why our Virtual Universe Company did not possess this knowledge. It was when I learnt that Bhaal obtained this info from The Celestial God Country, which is only accessible to gods who possess at least one portfolio. "Talon says to Aria
"From what I have learnt, "The Celestial God Country (天神国, Tiānshén Guó) is an omnipotent virtual organization established by the Overlord AO at the dawn of creation. Unlike most universe level organizations within the various universe sea of various caged worlds, like our Virtual Universe Company, which only covers the entire original universe, the Celestial God Country exists as a transcendent, all-encompassing realm whose network spans the entire caged world of the Great Wheel Cosmology and extends to cover the entire Chaotic Origin Dimension, WHAT!!!!. And just like the Virtual Universe Company, the Celestial God Country is not merely a virtual space but a divine construct woven into the fabric of the cosmic sea, with its main physical headquarters stationed within the infinite expanse of the Astral plane. It manifests as an infinite, highly advanced, futuristic celestial realm, infused with AO's divine energy and combined with the will of the Chaotic Origin Dimension. This organization acts as an eternal divine state that exists simultaneously as a virtual and physical realm fully accessible no matter where you are, whether you are in the great wheel cosmology or in another caged world within their various universe sea, meaning all of its members can access it with zero difficulties, no matter what caged world they're in.
"I, too, wonder what it's like, but I doubt I can enter since it is only accessible to gods with portfolios, with most of its members having a combat power of at least Domain Master level," Aria says to Talon. " What about the Ganwu dojo and the Huge Axe, what are they like. Aria asks Talon. Lady Aria, let me elaborate on the Ganwu Dojo, which is the primary cultivation powerhouse and talent engine for the entire Ganwu Universe Country," Talon said, highlighting the key structural and hierarchical details.
The Ganwu Dojo is the official and unparalleled school for both Warriors and Spirit Masters residing within the Ganwu Universe Country. Founded by the powerful Lord of Ganwu, its purpose is to absorb and cultivate an incredibly large number of talented individuals, ensuring a steady stream of power for the massive civilization. To maintain its dominance and control over talent development, the Ganwu Universe Country strictly restricts any other large-scale dojo (those spreading across multiple planets, star systems, or galaxies) from operating within its vast territory.
The Ganwu Dojo is omnipresent within Ganwu Universe Country, with branches existing in every galaxy within the Ganwu Universe Country. Joining a local branch immediately integrates a member into a vast and powerful community, ensuring that as the member grows stronger, their background and the support system of the Ganwu Universe Country grow stronger as well. Registration is remarkably easy for local citizens: any citizen who has reached at least the Planetary Level can register without having to pass any tests. For a citizen of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the cost is 800 Black Dragon Coins to register, with an annual fee of only 10 Black Dragon Coins to continue receiving services. However, it is significantly more complex and difficult for non-citizens to join. Crucially, the Ganwu Dojo does not place many restrictions on its members, allowing them the freedom to join other influential organizations like the Virtual Universe Company.
"Lady Aria, the internal structure and power dynamics of the Ganwu Dojo are clearly reflected in both its teaching capacity and its strict ranking system for members," Talon continued.
"The strength of the Ganwu Dojo begins with its instructional staff. Even at a basic, ordinary planet's dojo, there are typically three Universe Level teachers overseeing the training. On more strategically important or valuable planets, the teaching staff escalates significantly, becoming both stronger and more numerous, sometimes featuring cultivators at the powerful Domain Master realm.
Members are tiered precisely according to their cultivation level: Planetary Levels are considered Normal Students, representing the baseline entrants just beginning their journey within the dojo. Advancing to the Stellar Level grants members the status of Elite Students; they are strong enough to be officially hired as instructors and may even be given the responsibility of entirely running the local branch on less prominent planets.
The highest-ranking members of the Dojo are designated through the Tiered Ganwu Warrior system, marked by a leaf ranking: Universe Levels are designated as 1 Leaf Ganwu Warriors; Domain Masters are recognized as 2 Leaf Ganwu Warriors; and the most formidable members are the World Masters, who are designated as 3 Leaf Ganwu Warriors. This system clearly establishes the hierarchy of power and experience within the Ganwu Universe Country's premier training academy. Perhaps someday you will study there," Talon says
"As for The Huge Axe, it is the second of the Human Race's Five Great Leviathans, and it represents the most brutal and direct path to cultivation power, which is STRENGTH," Talon stated, focusing the holographic display on the dojo's symbol and key members.
The Huge Axe Dojo was founded by the mythical Huge Axe Creator, the current strongest being of the human race after the great ancestor Yuan. It is a place dedicated entirely to combat, hosting fights among its contestants known as the fighters of the arena. Every single match hosted by the Dojo is a life-or-death battle; at least one must die before the battle concludes, enforcing a philosophy of absolute survival and strength. Along with the Virtual Universe Company, the Huge Axe Dojo co-hosts the Virtual Universe tests that shape the future of the cosmos.
The Dojo maintains a clear and brutal ranking system based purely on one's success in these lethal arena battles:
Warrior: Acquired after ten winning matches.
Warrior King: Acquired after one hundred winning matches.
Huge Axe Warrior: Acquired after one thousand winning matches..
Despite this, the organization maintains a roster of immensely powerful figures, including:
True God: The founder, Huge Axe Creator
Universe Masters: Including Void Gold Master, and three other powerful masters.
Universe Venerables: Such as Venerable Ancestral Tree (ranked as one of the Human Race's top three Universe Overlords), Venerable Undying/Immortal (a Universe Overlord stage disciple of the founder), Venerable Fire Erosion (a Universe Venerable of the Huge Axe Dojo and the father of King Nightmare Candle, He is a powerful figure and a true genius of the Huge axe with 50000 wins, and Venerable Iron Wall (another personal disciple of the Creator).
The Huge Axe Dojo is also responsible for hosting the Pinnacle Warrior Battle. This is one of the two major battles among the originals universe' most talented cultivators, specifically organized by the Dojo to select absolute geniuses among Universe Level Humans, continuing the cycle of brutal selection and advancement that defines the organization." Talon says as she finishes her lecture.
