Chapter 493: Chief of Core Members! Manor No. 001

Qiong Yu Star.

After Chu Yang exited the virtual universe, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes to comprehend the cosmic origin laws.

What he said earlier in the virtual universe—that he was confident in fully comprehending a lower-level origin law subordinate to the origin law of space within three to five years—was not an exaggeration.

On the contrary, this was his conservative estimate.

Admittedly, from the Star level to the World Lord level is the best time to comprehend cosmic origin laws; once one breaks through to immortality, the difficulty of comprehending laws increases significantly.

But this did not count for much for Chu Yang.

Before breaking through to immortality, he could fully comprehend the origin law of gold in just one year.

After breaking through to immortality, this time would only be extended by three to five times.

But Chu Yang did not start comprehending the lower-level origin law subordinate to the origin law of space; instead, he set his sights on the origin law of lightning! "Cross-system" comprehension of laws—even for top geniuses in the original universe, this is almost impossible.

But no matter how determined a genius is, in terms of comprehension, they could never compare to Chu Yang.

However, Chu Yang still underestimated the difficulty of cross-system law comprehension; it took him a full three months just to step into the threshold of the origin law of lightning! If one said that after breaking through to immortality, wanting to comprehend cosmic origin laws of the same system increased the difficulty by three to five times compared to when Chu Yang comprehended the origin law of gold, then cross-system comprehension of cosmic origin laws increased the difficulty by hundreds of times! In the hotel room, Chu Yang felt the power of the origin law of lightning and murmured with a frown: "This is only a lower-level origin law; if I were to directly comprehend the origin law of time, the difficulty would probably reach tens of thousands of times!"

Actually, Chu Yang did not intend to fully comprehend all ten cosmic origin laws at the immortal level.

His goal had been very clear from beginning to end, and that was the origin law of time!

As long as he fully comprehended the origin law of time across systems, once he broke through to a Universe Venerable, he would be able to fully comprehend the origin law of space in the shortest time, breaking through to a Universe Master as a matter of course.

To put it bluntly, the order in which Chu Yang was now comprehending cosmic origin laws was entirely paving the way for the future.

The reason he did not choose to directly try comprehending the origin law of time was that as long as he comprehended its corresponding lower-level origin law, it would become much easier to go and comprehend the origin law of time.

Just at this moment, Pan Gu's voice suddenly rang in Chu Yang's mind.

"Master, there is an email."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and entered the virtual universe.

Looking at the content of the email, a smile appeared on Chu Yang's face.

Since seeing King Zhen Yan that day, in these three months, there had been no movement from the Virtual Universe Company side.

Chu Yang knew that his matter would definitely attract the attention of some upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company, and they would conduct targeted research and discussions.

First was a further assessment of his talent and strength, and second was to verify what he had said.

Finally, it was to determine his status level and treatment issues after joining the Virtual Universe Company.

After all, before this, although the Virtual Universe Company would recruit geniuses from the entire universe, most were aimed at the Star level and Universe level.

Only a few Domain Lord level and World Lord level individuals would be recruited as exceptions.

After all, those genius figures almost all started showing talent at the Star level, and it was rare for there to be late bloomers.

Generally, immortal gods who joined the Virtual Universe Company, even powerhouses at the King-level limit, would directly become core members under some Universe Venerable.

To put it bluntly, they were no longer viewed as core disciples or genius disciples, but directly classified into the ranks of powerhouses.

But Chu Yang was a special case rarely seen in hundreds of millions of years!

Someone who had not received the teaching of a powerhouse, nor had the support of massive resources, relying only on the inheritance of a Marquis-level immortal, had cultivated to the immortal level in just thirteen years on an ownerless planet with scarce resources! Such a figure, although already enough to be listed in the ranks of powerhouses, could not be denied that the potential they possessed was terrifying.

The upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company had no doubt that as long as he was carefully taught, Chu Yang becoming a Universe Venerable in the future was almost a sure thing.

Even breaking through to a Universe Master and becoming another giant in the Virtual Universe Company was not impossible! So finally, the Virtual Universe Company decided to give Chu Yang the treatment of both a powerhouse and a genius disciple.

He would enjoy the resource support and privileges of a core disciple, and also have the status and authority of a powerhouse.

So regarding this point, the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company did not struggle for too long; they were even impatient to bind Chu Yang to the Virtual Universe Company.

The reason it dragged on for a full three months was not that there was a disagreement among the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company, but...

Two Universe Masters of the Virtual Universe Company had actually clashed over fighting for Chu Yang, and almost started fighting!

These two were the Master of Dragon Walk and the Master of You Hou, both of whom wanted to take Chu Yang as a personal disciple.

Dignified powerhouses at the Universe Master level, who had lived for who knows how many years, shouldn't have been making such a fuss over a disciple.

Moreover, the strength of the Master of Dragon Walk was slightly stronger than that of the Master of You Hou; in the past, when such things happened, the weaker one usually chose to concede.

Furthermore, the Master of Dragon Walk was an extremely ancient existence in the Virtual Universe Company, and even the other three Universe Masters were mostly quite polite to him.

But it just so happened that this time was different! On one hand, it was because Chu Yang was too monstrous, and on the other hand...

The Master of You Hou had behaved too arrogantly in this matter, with a posture of not putting the Master of Dragon Walk in his eyes.

Finally, the one in Chaos City couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward personally, and gave the Master of You Hou a good lesson, and this farce ended sloppily.

After resolving the farce, the City Lord of Chaos took out a bombshell that almost caused a storm among the entire upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company!

As the first person in power of the Virtual Universe Company, the City Lord of Chaos directly ordered that no one was allowed to take Chu Yang as a disciple.

If Chu Yang, after joining the Virtual Universe Company, could prove his speed of comprehending cosmic origin laws, then he would take him as a disciple on behalf of his teacher!

This decision immediately caused opposition from many upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company, but these oppositions were all suppressed by the City Lord of Chaos.

And so, the Master of Dragon Walk fell silent and never mentioned taking Chu Yang as a disciple again.

The Master of You Hou was incomparably depressed, because his teacher was the Master of Darkness, and the Master of Darkness was the junior fellow apprentice of the City Lord of Chaos.

If the City Lord of Chaos took him as a disciple on behalf of his teacher, wouldn't that mean...

Chu Yang had suddenly transformed into his martial uncle? Failing to take a disciple and instead dropping a generation made him feel like he had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

But this was not the most critical point; the most critical point was...

The upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company all knew who the City Lord of Chaos's teacher was!

Original Ancestor!

The greatest existence in human history! The first Universe Strongest Being of the human race! It was the Original Ancestor who created the virtual universe, and he was also the founder of the Virtual Universe Company! Although it was only taking a disciple on behalf of his teacher, just a title, the person who would ultimately teach Chu Yang would be the City Lord of Chaos. But just such a title possessed supreme status and glory!

Of course, Chu Yang did not know all this yet.

He only guessed that a Universe Master would step forward and want to take him as a personal disciple, and it might even be that City Lord of Chaos.

But even he had not expected that the City Lord of Chaos would take him as a disciple on behalf of his teacher! It was really because Chu Yang hadn't thought in that direction at all, because he knew that the Original Ancestor was permanently suppressed by the supreme rules and had no possibility of escaping at the moment.

However, the content of the email did surprise Chu Yang a bit.

"Mr. Chu Yang, welcome to the Virtual Universe Company; please do not leave Qiong Yu Star, the spaceship sent by the company will arrive soon.

You will be listed as a core member of the Virtual Universe Company and enter the Primordial Secret Realm, while enjoying all the treatment of a genius competition champion, as well as the treatment of a King-level immortal!

You have now obtained the authority to enter the company's virtual headquarters, and someone will be there to give you a detailed introduction."

The content was very brief, and the reason Chu Yang was surprised was that he was actually enjoying the treatment of both a genius disciple and a King-level powerhouse, which was a small surprise.

"Master, there is a change in the bank account." Pan Gu, sitting on Chu Yang's shoulder, suddenly spoke.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and checked his bank account; it had indeed become 100 billion Hunyuan units!

Immediately following were a series of email reminders, dozens of emails, which Chu Yang didn't even look at and deleted them all directly.

"Let's go! Let's go see the virtual headquarters!"

Chu Yang now had the authority to enter the virtual headquarters, and his status had been upgraded to a core member of the Virtual Universe Company.

As his virtual assistant, Pan Gu automatically obtained a function, which was that in the virtual universe, he could teleport directly to a special plane.

A white light flashed, and Chu Yang disappeared from the manor.

In just the blink of an eye, he had arrived on a floating mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

This mountain peak was incomparably huge, even larger than an ordinary planet!

Standing on the bluestone road, Chu Yang looked at the buildings in the distance of the street, as well as the pedestrians on both sides of the street, and at a glance, he discovered a woman walking toward him.

This woman was wearing a deep blue battle suit, and had a head of crystal-clear light blue long hair, as if it were crystal, her skin was extremely fair, and her appearance was as beautiful as a dream.

In the center of the woman's forehead was a blue-white scale, and on both sides of her cheeks were several light blue patterns that extended to the roots of her ears, but far from ruining that beauty, they added a bit of charm.

Running to Chu Yang, the woman smiled and asked: "Is it His Highness Chu Yang?"

Chu Yang looked the woman over and nodded: "It is."

The woman smiled and reached out her hand: "Hello, my name is Liang Wei; from today on, whether it is on Rain Phase Mountain or in the universe, I will serve you."

Liang Wei's smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, and coupled with her words "serve you," it was hard not to let one's imagination run wild.

Chu Yang, however, frowned, having discovered something wrong.

First, among the core members coming and going around, some clearly knew Liang Wei and cast looks of awe.

Second, Liang Wei's words did not show much respect for him; she didn't seem like a servant, but rather like she was having an equal conversation.

It seems the Virtual Universe Company sending Liang Wei over must have some deep meaning.

Chu Yang smiled and said: "Then I will have to trouble Senior Liang Wei to take care of me in the future."

Liang Wei's expression stiffened, a dangerous aura appeared in her smile, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked: "Does Your Highness think I am very old?"

Chu Yang was stunned; after all, he was only thirty-six years old, which was really too young in the universe.

Facing these cosmic people who were thousands or tens of thousands of years old, Chu Yang subconsciously called them seniors, but Liang Wei's reaction clearly showed she was very concerned about the age issue.

Chu Yang changed his words: "Miss Liang Wei, I apologize, it was my abruptness."

Liang Wei didn't say anything more, turned around, and said: "Follow me!"

The two walked along the bluestone road, and Liang Wei introduced as she walked: "This is Rain Phase Mountain, and only core members of the company are qualified to enter."

"Rain Phase Mountain has a diameter of 89,000 kilometers and is divided into five areas: the Primordial Area, the Taichu Area, the Heaven and Earth Area, the End of the World Area, and the Public Area; we are currently in the Public Area."

"Oh, right, the reason I call you Your Highness is because in the Virtual Universe Company, non-core members must respectfully call core members below the immortal level Your Highness."

"The End of the World Secret Realm, as the outermost layer of the four major areas for core members, also requires members to call core members of higher-level secret realms Your Highness when they meet."

"And you, you are the only exception in the entire Rain Phase Mountain!"

Speaking of this, Liang Wei stopped her steps, turned her head to look at Chu Yang, and said: "You are the chief of all core members of the entire Virtual Universe Company; below the Universe Venerable level, everyone must call you Your Highness when they meet you!"

Once these words were out, Chu Yang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This hadn't been mentioned in the email before!

His status in the Virtual Universe Company seemed to be even higher than he had imagined...

Liang Wei took another step and continued: "The five major areas of Rain Phase Mountain have the same area, and you will temporarily live in the Primordial Area."

"Every core member has their own guard team, but you are different; you have no guard team."

"However, you have the right to recruit; anyone under your command, regardless of their identity or background, will directly become an official member of the Virtual Universe Company."

Soon, the two arrived at the Primordial Area.

Compared to the other four areas seen on the road, the Primordial Area could be called extremely luxurious.

Luxurious manors highlighted the extraordinary status of every resident here.

Liang Wei didn't stop her steps, led Chu Yang directly to the center of the Primordial Area, and stopped in front of the manor that occupied the largest area and was also the most luxurious in the entire Primordial Area.

"This is your manor, No. 001."

No. 001? Chu Yang narrowed his eyes; with him, this suddenly parachuted-in chief, being so high-profile, he was afraid many core members of the Primordial Secret Realm would be unhappy, right? Everyone was a genius; who wasn't proud and arrogant? Chu Yang didn't think this was the Virtual Universe Company wanting to test him.

After all, the strongest core member in the Primordial Secret Realm was only at the peak World Lord level, and even if their strength was comparable to an immortal military lord, it was absolutely impossible for them to threaten him, a King-level limit powerhouse.

In that case, I'm afraid the Virtual Universe Company has the intention of letting me be the whetstone for those geniuses, and at the same time, dampen their sharpness! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 494 =====

In that case, I fear the Virtual Universe Company intends to use me as a whetstone for those geniuses, while also taking the opportunity to dampen their arrogance! (End of chapter)
