I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Because ordinary Realm Lords have absolutely no hope of breaking through to Immortality; some haven't even been recognized by the fundamental laws. Why would the company value them, or recruit them? After all, there are simply too many Realm Lords within the company.

Only the truly elite and the truly strong can become core members. As for addressing someone as "Your Highness"... Among the four core secret realms, the Doomsday Secret Realm is the outermost. Core members of the Doomsday Secret Realm must address members of the other three secret realms as "Your Highness" if the other party is below the Immortal level!

Furthermore, ordinary subordinates who are not part of the core leadership should address any core member below the Immortal level as "Your Highness."

"I see." Luo Yuan and Luo Feng both nodded, feeling that the title "Your Highness" had a noble air about it.

In the universe, the title "Your Highness" is generally an honorific used by princes and other high-ranking officials. Clearly, the core members of the Virtual Universe Company, those below the Immortal level, are like princes and other high-ranking officials, expected to become super-powerful beings. In terms of status, they are far superior to the princes of those cosmic kingdoms, many of whom have no hope of ever inheriting the throne!

"Your Highnesses, please come with me into the virtual universe," the lean old man said with a smile. "I will take you into the virtual headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company."

"Oh?" Luo Yuan and Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

The spaceship had already traveled into the dark universe, and its speed continued to increase, reaching nearly 20 times the speed of light, and then continued to move forward at this constant speed in the dark universe.

In the most comfortable and luxurious lounge of Luo Yuan's advanced spaceship, his consciousness then entered the virtual universe network.

Now that Luo Yuan and Luo Feng are core members, the virtual assistant has automatically gained a function: once they enter the virtual universe, they can be directly teleported to a special dimension within the virtual universe.

"Teleport!"

call!

The two disappeared in the Jiuxingwan residential area on Heilongshan Island.

Chapter 131 Virtual Headquarters

Virtual headquarters plane.

This is a suspended mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, an incredibly huge mountain, even larger than an ordinary planet in reality. Two figures suddenly appeared on one of the bluestone paths on the mountain, namely Luo Yuan and Luo Feng.

"Hmm?" Luo Yuan looked around.

There were many people and buildings in the distance along this street, and even more beautiful villas on the left.

"Your Highnesses." A figure ran towards them from a distance on the street; it was Sha Wu.

“Mr. Sha Wu,” Luo Yuan called out with a smile.

"Your Highnesses," the lean old man said with a smile, "this entire dimensional space is the 'virtual headquarters' of our Virtual Universe Company. In fact, compared to the real headquarters, the virtual headquarters is much more lively. This is because many important figures cannot stay in the real headquarters all the time."

"Come."

The lean old man led the two on a tour, saying, "This mountain peak, suspended in the clouds, is called 'Yuxiang Mountain,' and its diameter is approximately 8.9 kilometers."

"So big?" The two were taken aback.

The Earth's diameter is only a little over 10,000 kilometers, while this mountain peak's diameter is nearly seven times that of the Earth.

“Of course it needs to be bigger, otherwise there won’t be enough training grounds.” The lean old man said with a smile, “The entire Yuxiang Mountain is divided into five areas. They are the ‘Primordial Area’, ‘Primordial Beginning Area’, ‘Heavenly Area’, ‘Apocalypse Area’, and ‘Public Area’. The areas of these five areas are all about the same size.”

"The population of the original area does not exceed 120 people."

"The Primordial District has about a thousand people."

"The Tian area has about 10,000 people."

"The Apocalypse Zone has tens of millions of people," the lean old man said. "As for the Public Zone, it includes commerce, entertainment, and so on. People from all four zones can enter the Public Zone. By the way... Your Highness, members of the Primordial Zone, the Beginning Zone, the Heavenly Zone, and the Apocalypse Zone cannot enter other zones."

"That's status."

The lean old man sighed, "The headquarters selects some elites to enter the core layer, and they all go to the post-apocalyptic zone. Some outstanding realm lords who are absorbed into the zone also go to the post-apocalyptic zone! The vast majority of the past genius battles and strongman battles are also held in the post-apocalyptic zone... That's why the post-apocalyptic zone has the largest population. The housing in the post-apocalyptic zone consists of high-rise buildings, and each person is allocated an apartment."

"In the Tian area, everyone gets a villa."

"In the Primordial Zone, you can have your own exclusive cultivation ground, exclusive learning ground, and so on. It's quite a luxury."

"The primitive area has no more than 120 people in total. It's basically a luxurious manor with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers. The manor has various cultivation facilities, and there are immortal powerhouse teachers living there long-term. There are also a large number of servants to serve you, and you can summon many sparring partners at any time." The lean old man's eyes were full of envy.

Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; the members of this primitive zone were being treated so well.

Moreover, the welfare benefits in the four regions are vastly different. The Apocalypse Region has apartment buildings, the Heaven Region has villas, the Primordial Region is like a manor, and as for the Primordial Region... good heavens, a manor with a diameter of thousands of kilometers was built for one person. Is that even a manor? It's bigger than a province on Earth before the Great Nirvana! It's practically a kingdom! And there are even 'immortal beings' stationed there?

"There are no more than 120 people in the Primal Zone, and no more than 100 Realm Lords in the Primal Zone. Each of these Realm Lords is considered an invincible existence among Realm Lords in the universe," the lean old man said with a smile. "They are all the real elites of our company, so it's not surprising that they receive such treatment."

Under Sha Wu's guidance, the two gained a general understanding of the entire Yuxiang Mountain, where members of the Virtual Universe Company's core layer, below the Immortal level, were gathered...

Standing atop a steep rock, the lean old man pointed to an enormous island shrouded in mist in the distance, surrounded by crackling lightning: "Look, that's Thunder Island, also known as 'Immortal Island,' a hundred or a thousand times larger than Rain Mountain. All the Immortals of the Virtual Universe Company generally reside there. If Rain Mountain is a gathering place for core members 'below Immortal' and a breeding ground for geniuses, then Thunder Island is the true gathering place for the strong, the gathering place for Immortals."

"Hmm." Luo Yuan looked at Thunder Island in the clouds and nodded slightly.

That place can be considered a sacred site for the entire human race in the universe.

“Your Highness Luo Yuan, please go to the public area first. There, a peak Realm Lord will escort you to the Primordial Area. I will escort Your Highness Luo Feng to the Primordial Area. We will part ways here.” Sha Wu said respectfully. In fact, he would have preferred to take Luo Yuan to see the Primordial Area, but he was not qualified.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. Luo Feng, have fun in the Taichu District. We'll chat after we log off," Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, Third Brother, let's go to the Taichu District!" Luo Feng and Sha Wu left with great anticipation.

As Luo Yuan walked through the public area, he could see hundreds of realm lords everywhere he went, and 99% of them were recognized by the fundamental laws, with various fundamental law marks on their foreheads.

“A Realm Lord who has been recognized by the Origin Law would be at the level of a military leader of a super power in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region,” Luo Yuan thought to himself. “But within a giant like the Virtual Universe Company, they barely qualify to enter the ‘Apocalypse Secret Realm.’ There are probably hundreds of millions of Realm Lords who can’t even get into the core level!”

"Hello, Your Highness Luo Yuan!"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice woke Luo Yuan from his thoughts. He looked up and saw a pretty young woman in a light green, form-fitting dress. She looked similar to an Earthling, except her ears were slightly pointed and she had a wood-elemental law mark between her brows. Of course, she only looked like a young girl; her actual age was unknown. This "young woman" was blinking her large eyes, scrutinizing Luo Yuan with a look of fascination.

"Hello, you must be the Realm Lord who's here to take me to the Primitive Zone?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmm, Your Highness is very clever. My name is Green Bamboo. Please follow me!"

Green Bamboo walked in front, with Luo Yuan following behind. The woman's curvaceous figure swayed in front of her, and Luo Yuan, being an experienced driver, watched with great interest. Perhaps sensing Luo Yuan's burning gaze, Green Bamboo restrained her swaying.

A moment later, the two walked onto a wide and quiet bluestone path. Beside the path was a flowerbed, in which various flowers and plants formed the universal language of writing—'Primitive Zone'.

"drop!"

A faint halo flashed across the green bamboo's body, and it could no longer move forward. It cried out, "Your Highness, I can't go any further. The area ahead along this path is the primeval area. Once Your Highness enters, there will be staff to guide you."

"Thanks." Luo Yuan nodded with a smile.

Luo Yuan walked along the beautiful and quiet bluestone path, smelling the fragrance of grass and flowers. He quickened his pace slightly and arrived more than ten kilometers away in half a minute. There was the entrance to the incredibly huge and luxurious 'primitive area'. There were many servants at the entrance. When they saw Luo Yuan arrive, one of the leaders immediately came forward to greet him.

Chapter 132 Luxurious Manor

“Your Highness Luo Yuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time.” A white-robed old man with white hair and beard said with great enthusiasm. He was an immortal god. “You can call me Ai Tuo Er. I am the one who is in charge of managing all kinds of trivial matters in the primitive area.”

"Understood." Luo Yuan nodded.

In fact, as a virtual universe, things like cleaning and pruning flowers can be simulated instantly. Perhaps for the sake of realism, everything here is 100% imitated. There are even a large number of servants specifically assigned to clean and prune flowers to serve the princes.

When you're hungry, you have to buy food; when you're thirsty, you have to buy drinks; even buying property in the virtual universe costs money—everything is exactly the same as in the real world.

"Your Highness Luo Yuan, please follow me." The immortal deity 'Ai Tuo' smiled and led the way.

call!call!

Both of them took to the air in the Primal Zone. As one of the five major zones, the Primal Zone was extremely large, covering nearly half of the entire Rain Phase Mountain. It could be said to be much larger than the entire Earth! Yet this area was only enough for a little over a hundred members to live in.

"The Primal Zone currently has 115 official members, including 100 World Lord-level Princes, 10 Domain Lord-level Princes, and 5 Universe-level Princes." Flying in the air, Aytor pointed down, "The Primal Zone has many training grounds, reading areas, restaurants, and so on... As for the residential area, it's all at the very back, consisting of 115 luxurious manors, each manor courtyard measuring 1100 kilometers long and 1000 kilometers wide."

Luo Yuan listened in amazement.

A sprawling estate stretching 1100 kilometers long and 1000 kilometers wide—that's true luxury. This is the standard of living in the primitive zone, while the lowest-ranking post-apocalyptic zone is populated by cramped apartment buildings.

"Your Highness Luo Yuan's manor is number 112. The architectural style has been modified according to your previously submitted preferences." Ai Tuo Er pointed to a row of grand ancient-style buildings in the distance, with pavilions, towers, covered corridors and waterside pavilions, as well as an incredibly wide lake, bamboo forest, ancient bridge, and cranes, which looked like a fairyland.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

The two landed.

"Your Highness!" The gate to the manor was a thousand meters wide, and two minotaur giants, each thirty meters tall, bowed respectfully.

“Your Highness Luo Yuan,” Aytor smiled, “As members of the Primal Secret Realm, Your Highness’s guard is normally organized into a battalion, consisting of one general, ten captains, and one hundred warriors. The general is an immortal god, the captains are ten peak realm lords from the Doomsday Secret Realm, and the warriors are one hundred peak domain lords. In the virtual universe, they are stationed here with Your Highness, and in reality, they are also responsible for protecting Your Highness. They will obey Your Highness’s orders in everything.”

"Hmm." Luo Yuan nodded slightly. Although he already knew, seeing it in person was still quite shocking.

The two peak domain lords are the gatekeepers.

The leader of the guard team is an immortal god, and the other ten realm lords are also realm lords who have been recognized by the original laws!

“Besides the guards, there are over 100,000 servants in the manor to serve Your Highness,” Aytor said with a smile.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and a group of people suddenly appeared at the manor gate. Leading them was a cold and beautiful woman who resembled an Earthling. Upon seeing Luo Yuan, she bowed and said, "Your Highness." The large group behind her bowed respectfully and shouted, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

“This is the general of His Highness’s guard, an immortal deity, whose full name is ‘Mona Capet’,” Etor said with a smile.

"Your Highness, you can just call me Mona," the aloof woman said.

"Mona, I'll be relying on you from now on," Luo Yuan said politely.

“That’s only right,” Mona said, her gaze softening as she looked at Luo Yuan. In terms of the Virtual Universe Company’s arrangements, his status was lower than Luo Yuan’s, but she was, after all, an immortal god… No matter what, the prince before her was just a genius, not a strong one, and perhaps he wouldn’t even reach her level when he fell in the future.

Etorlian said, "Your Highness Luo Yuan, I'll be leaving now. Mona is very familiar with everything in this manor, and she will tell you."

"Thank you, Mr. Etor." Luo Yuan nodded.

Aytor then transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance in an instant.

"Your Highness, please." Mona led the way, and Luo Yuan entered his manor.

……

At first glance, the manor is filled with flowers and green grass, as well as various rare trees. The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and the landscaping is very well done.

“That’s His Highness’s training ground.” Mona pointed to a huge, sealed building in the distance. “The entire training ground is 50 kilometers long, 30 kilometers wide, and 300 meters high. The ground inside is incredibly hard.”

"Hmm." Luo Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The speed of the Dark Cloud Shuttle was astonishing. If the space was too small, it would be impossible to move freely. 50 kilometers long, 30 kilometers wide, and 300 meters high was only considered good, passable for the controller! Of course, such a large space would be very large for a 'martial artist'.

Each member of the Primal Realm has a dedicated 'Immortal Teacher' stationed there to provide long-term instruction. This Immortal Deity named Mona can be considered as the Immortal Teacher assigned to Luo Yuan. Of course, as a member of the Primal Realm, one can change their Immortal Teacher at any time.

“That’s the swimming pool.” Mona pointed to another huge swimming pool in the distance. “The pool is divided into an inner pool area and an outer pool area. The water in the inner pool area has special effects. Lying in it can quickly restore a tired body. It is divided into six zones according to different water temperatures. Actually, this setting is to simulate reality… In the real ‘Primitive Secret Realm,’ His Highness’s residence is much better than this.”

"Oh?" Luo Yuan's eyes lit up, then he shook his head. "Unfortunately, it will be a long wait."
