After finishing his conversation with Sixth Uncle Gabriel, Ender left the Virtual Universe and returned to the Molten Rock Secret Realm in reality.
Sitting on the sofa, Ender sighed softly.
Grand Uncle Hollu was very gentle to all Family members, and as a manager when the Family was weak, he was qualified.
But now the Family had changed; with ten galaxies of territory, plus the enormous sum of ten thousand Mixed Yuan units in his account, its wealth had exceeded that of most World Master Families!
For a Family destined to become powerful, if it didn't have a strong and strict manager, this would be a misfortune, not a blessing!
In fact, in Ender's opinion, the most suitable manager for the Family should be Third Uncle Ivan, or Sixth Uncle Garribel.
Both of them were strict, whether with others or themselves, making them very suitable to be the Family's manager.
Before going to the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters, he found Sixth Uncle Gabriel and prepared to put on a show to restrict the rights of some Family members and prevent resources from flowing out.
"With Sixth Uncle here, the Family shouldn't have any major problems." After what just happened, Ender trusted Sixth Uncle very much. "I can also go to the Beginning Universe with peace of mind."
He opened the light screen and sent a message to the staff of the Molten Rock Empire, asking them to arrange a spaceship to take him to the Molten Rock Emperor Star, so he could wait for the spaceship sent by the Virtual Universe Company to pick him up.
...
Fifteen days later, Ender, who frequently entered the Virtual Universe to chat with his Family, waited for the spaceship that came to pick him up.
It was a combat sword-shaped Universe spaceship, about 600 meters long, 100 meters wide, and nearly 100 meters thick, completely dark. Facing this Universe spaceship, one could faintly feel an ancient aura, as if it had existed in the long river of time for a very, very long time.
Under the protection of the Molten Rock Emperor's personal guards, Ender walked to the spaceship.
Click!
The hatch opened, and a faint, invisible pressure surged out from within, suppressing the Molten Rock Emperor's personal guards who were protecting Ender.
Whoosh!
A group of people flew out from the front hatch, led by a long-haired man who looked very much like an Earthling, dressed in grey-white battle attire, with blue tattoos on his face.
He had a slight smile, and a faint, invisible pressure emanated from him, enveloping the surroundings.
"This is an Immortal."
The One-Eyed Man Sweit, one of the three commanders of the Molten Rock Emperor's personal guards, felt immense pressure in his heart.
Unaffected by the invisible pressure, Ender gestured to the surrounding Molten Rock Emperor's personal guards to retreat. The latter, as if granted a great pardon, quickly withdrew.
This group of people stepped forward, and the long-haired man leading them smiled, "Gongxi Luo greets Your Highness."
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Behind him, a group of World Masters, Domain Masters, and Universe Level Cultivators bowed respectfully.
Facing the Immortal and the bows of powerful World Masters and Domain Masters, Ender nodded to Sweit, then said to the long-haired man, "Mr. Gongxi Luo, let's get on the spaceship first."
"Your Highness, please." Gongxi Luo turned sideways, making a gesture of invitation.
Watching Ender board the spaceship, Gongxi Luo praised in his heart, "This Your Highness Ender has good Heart, so calm in the face of an Immortal."
The interior of the spaceship was very spacious. Ender and Gongxi Luo entered a very wide and luxurious hall on the upper deck of the spaceship, which was 300 meters long and 60 meters wide.
Here were comfortable sofas, fragrant fine wines, and rare spirit fruits already laid out. Behind them, beautiful maids waited for orders at all times.
"Your Highness, please sit." Gongxi Luo said, then introduced, "This time, on the journey to the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters, I will be responsible for Your Highness's safety."
After taking his seat, Ender nodded, "I'll trouble you for these three years, Mr. Gongxi Luo."
"Your Highness is too polite." Gongxi Luo smiled, "This is my duty."
Ender asked knowingly, "Mr. Gongxi Luo, why do you call me Your Highness?"
"Ordinary members not in the Virtual Universe Company's Core Region, when they see a core member below Immortal, all address them as 'Your Highness'."
Gongxi Luo explained, "Additionally, core members of the Last Phase Secret Realm, when they see core members of the top three Secret Realms, if the other party is below Immortal, they also all address them as 'Your Highness'." The Last Phase Secret Realm is the last of the four Secret Realms. In fact, the names of the four Secret Realms are easy to understand. Assuming the evolution of a world, it first starts as a primal, integrated whole, which is "Primal." Then it gradually begins to form and enters the "Absolute Beginning," finally forming a vast world, which is "Heaven and Earth." When it is about to decline and be destroyed, it is naturally the "Last Phase."
Primal, Absolute Beginning, Heaven and Earth, Last Phase – it feels like the evolution process of a world.
"I presume Your Highness has not been to the Virtual Universe Company's Virtual Headquarters." Gongxi Luo said, "Let me take Your Highness for a tour."
Ender nodded slightly. The Virtual Universe Company's Virtual Headquarters was a place he would often stay in the future, so it was good to see it now.
...
Virtual Headquarters Plane.
This was a suspended mountain Pinnacle enveloped in mist, an incredibly massive mountain Pinnacle, even larger than an ordinary planet in reality. On a bluestone path on the mountain Pinnacle, Ender suddenly appeared.
"Your Highness." Gongxi Luo's voice sounded, "This mountain Pinnacle suspended in the mist is called 'Yu Xiang Mountain'. Yu Xiang Mountain has a diameter of roughly 89,000 kilometers."
Ender nodded slightly, thinking, "This Yu Xiang Mountain is indeed very large. Its diameter alone is four times larger than Kuka Planet, which is over 20,000 kilometers."
Gongxi Luo led him around while introducing, "The entire Yu Xiang Mountain is divided into five realms. They are the 'Primal Secret Realm', 'Absolute Beginning Realm', 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm', 'Last Phase Secret Realm', and 'Public Realm'. The area of these five zones is roughly the same."
"Among them, the Primal Secret Realm has no more than 120 people."
"The Absolute Beginning Realm has roughly over a thousand people."
"The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm has roughly over ten thousand people."
"And the Last Phase Secret Realm has tens of millions of people."
Gongxi Luo said, "As for the Public Realm, it's for commerce, entertainment, and so on. People from all four zones can enter the 'Public Realm'. Oh right… Your Highness, members of the Primal Secret Realm, Absolute Beginning Realm, Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and Last Phase Secret Realm cannot enter other zones."
The five zones were roughly the same size, yet the Primal Secret Realm had fewer than 120 people, while the Last Phase Secret Realm had tens of millions!
This was status!
Moreover, those in the Last Phase Secret Realm lived in dormitory buildings, those in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm lived in villas, and those in the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm lived in manors.
As for the Primal Secret Realm, it had luxurious manors with various Cultivation facilities. There were also Immortal powerhouses who served as long-term teachers, a large number of servants, and many sparring partners who could be summoned at any time.
Building a manor with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers for one person, could it even be called a manor?
No! It should be called a kingdom, especially since there were Immortals stationed there.
Under Gongxi Luo's guidance, Ender gained a general understanding of Yu Xiang Mountain. This was where core members below Immortal resided.
"Your Highness, look." Gongxi Luo pointed into the distance at an incredibly massive island in the mist, surrounded by electric snakes. "That is Thunder Island, also known as 'Immortal Island'."
"It is the residence of all Immortal and above powerhouses of the Virtual Universe Company. Our Human Race's super powerhouses are inside!"
"Hmm." Looking at the island in the mist, Ender nodded slightly, thinking, "Thunder Island is where the true powerhouses reside. Universe Venerables are also on Thunder Island."
"Your Highness, the Primal Secret Realm is ahead." Gongxi Luo said, "There are special personnel to receive you inside. I can only take you this far."
"Thank you, Mr. Gongxi Luo." Ender expressed his gratitude, then entered the Primal Secret Realm…
