"I have no objection."
Giant Axe quickly responded.
"agree."
"Can."
No objections.
The other cosmic lords also quickly approved the proposal.
"Alright." Chen Yuan nodded and looked at the Chaos City Lord: "Uncle-Master Chaos, I'll leave the specific allocation of cultivation spaces to you."
"Leave it to me." The Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement. As the former main administrator of the virtual universe, he had extensive experience in handling these matters.
"As for the news about the replacement of the virtual universe—" Chen Yuan paused before continuing, "I don't want too many people to know, to avoid trouble. Just a few of us who know the inside story will suffice. The current virtual universe is much better in performance than the original universe."
Previously, the virtual universe only served as an auxiliary tool for cultivators below the level of a universe master. As for universe masters? It was merely a convenient tool for holding meetings, and many of its functions were no longer up to date.
But Chen Yuan's universe is different. Due to the existence of the Primordial Eye, the origin of the virtual universe has already stored a lot of data at the level of Void True Gods, which is why his cultivation space is so powerful and can simulate anything he wants.
Let alone the ruler of the universe, even a true god could gain something from cultivating within it.
Therefore, the allure of the virtual universe to the human race's elite is unimaginable. Once Chen Yuan's identity is revealed, he will inevitably face a host of troubles.
Of course, the trouble Chen Yuan saw was not that someone coveted the virtual universe, but rather those high-ranking officials who came to try and establish connections. Since they saw each other all the time, they had to give each other some face.
However, if this continues, these meaningless social interactions will take up his cultivation time and reduce his cultivation efficiency, which Chen Yuan absolutely cannot tolerate.
"This—will do." Giant Axe had originally planned to announce this at the meeting, since the details of the virtual universe were not a secret in the eyes of the higher-ups.
But seeing that Chen Yuan was unwilling to reveal it, he thought about it for a moment and understood the other party's concerns, so he agreed.
"I will pretend that the changes in the virtual universe are the research of the Primordial Ancestor, so as to conceal the fact that you are the master of the secret arts."
The giant axe said, "Is there anything else you want to say about the changes in the virtual universe?"
"Hmm—" Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The current virtual universe's analytical capabilities are much stronger; it can even analyze information about items that surpass the level of a Holy Land Lord."
"If possible, I hope that whatever rare treasures you find, you will first have them analyzed by the virtual universe to increase its information reserves."
"This is also the essence of the cultivation space simulating all things—the richer the information reserves, the more and stronger the types that can be simulated."
"I see." Giant Axe nodded, suddenly realizing, "I understand now. I'll go through my collection later; there are quite a few things in there that I couldn't identify even in the previous virtual universe."
"That's great!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "If you need authentication, just hold the item and silently recite 'virtual universe'."
"By the way, teachers and Uncle Chaos, you can also bring anything you're unsure about to me for appraisal."
"No problem." The Lord of Darkness and the others nodded in agreement.
As a cosmic ruler who has lived for countless epochs, he has quite a few strange and unusual collections, most of which are unidentifiable.
"By the way, Chen Yuan," Giant Axe asked again, "Does your virtual universe have no upper limit on the quality it can appraise?"
"Of course."
In reality, his so-called virtual universe analysis ability was entirely due to his operation using the Primordial Eye.
Therefore, he needs to separate a wisp of consciousness to merge with the origin of the virtual universe at all times in order to bring the gaze of the Primordial Eye to all parts of the universe through the virtual universe and begin to analyze it.
In other words, the upper limit of the Primordial Eye's analytical capabilities is the upper limit of the virtual universe.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Currently, the upper limit of the virtual universe's analysis is probably at the level of 'surpassing the Lord of the Holy Land Universe.' Basically, the items floating in the cosmic sea will not exceed this limit."
"Of course, this is not absolute."
Chen Yuan, however, thought of his nameless sword embryo. This treasure, which was suspected to be a God-King level embryo, was actually found by his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, in a small ruin in the Cosmic Sea. It was simply unbelievable.
Therefore, he couldn't guarantee that there might be other similar items in the collections of these high-ranking human beings.
Chen Yuan continued, "If you encounter an item that even the virtual universe cannot identify, then it must be an extremely precious treasure, coveted even by the lords of the two great holy lands."
"If you encounter a similar situation, remember to keep the news hidden to avoid attracting the covetous eyes of the two holy lands."
"I understand," the giant axe nodded.
Chen Yuan then explained some other details about the virtual universe, which were basically minor differences from the original universe. After the Chaos City Lord and the others noted them down, they announced the end of the meeting.
Several days later, the Giant Axe Conference was held again as scheduled.
At the meeting, Giant Axe announced the updates and enhancements to the virtual universe, and as expected, he did not reveal that the original universe had been replaced, but simply attributed it to the original universe.
Well, in fact, Giant Axe had already gone to the Primal Ancestor statue to see the Primal Ancestor once in the past few days and told him about this decision.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Ancestor was focused on comprehending the power of illusion within the origin of the virtual universe, so he naturally had no objections. He simply instructed the Giant Axe that from now on, he could directly contact Chen Yuan regarding matters concerning the virtual universe, as he would be focusing on seclusion for the time being.
This brief meeting put Giant Axe at ease, realizing that the replacement of the virtual universe had indeed been agreed upon by the Primal Ancestor.
His worst fears did not come true.
The meeting at the Giant Axe was noisy and chaotic. After experiencing the benefits of the cultivation space, these high-ranking human leaders began to vie for control of the remaining four cultivation spaces.
However, none of these things concerned Chen Yuan. He only sent a sliver of his consciousness to attend the meeting; in reality, most of his consciousness was focused on researching the ability to create a virtual universe.
What concerned him most was, of course, the ability to teleport arbitrarily within the coverage area of the virtual universe by optimizing space, as he had previously envisioned.
Indeed, just as he had thought, after the virtual universe officially began, Chen Yuan had essentially achieved omnipresence within its scope.
This ability is indeed unexpectedly powerful. Now, Chen Yuan can instantly travel to any place in the primordial universe with just a thought.
Whether it's various secret realms or the primordial universe's "Dark Void Zone" where no life has ever set foot, Chen Yuan can arrive instantly.
He even reached the cosmic sea directly through optimized spatial teleportation, without needing to leave the original universe via the "Toya Black Hole".
In addition, after mastering this "omnipresent" ability, Chen Yuan also tried to travel to some higher-level regions, such as the "Primordial Star".
Unfortunately, even though Chen Yuan's virtual universe network covered the entire primordial universe, he still couldn't find the location of the primordial star.
"Unfortunately, I was hoping to use the location of the primordial star to find the origin of the universe in reality. If I could observe the origin of the primordial universe with my own eyes, I wouldn't have to worry about comprehending the Great Dao of Life in the future."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, somewhat regretfully: "It seems that the coordinates of all the original stars are hidden under the original universe, and the current virtual universe is not yet able to break through this concealment."
"To find the primordial star, the primordial universe would probably have to open up on its own."
However, if things follow the normal trajectory, it will be at least 90,000 years before the original star is fully opened, which is too long.
"After so much time, who knows what level I can reach? Maybe by relying solely on my own strength, I can force the primordial universe to open its source land on its own initiative."
Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled. Despite his confident demeanor, he was actually unsure about his own future.
After all, for the Lord of the Universe to break through to the True God level, he will inevitably take the path of divine power to break through, and he must have a perfect divine body with 100,000 times the genetic potential.
He was still confident when he researched up to 90,000 times the gene, but 100,000 times? In the original work, Luo Feng had so many favorable conditions, yet he still succeeded after researching for over a trillion epochs.
Even though Chen Yuan thought he had the system's help, he still didn't know how long it would take to achieve a perfect divine body.
"Never mind, we'll think about the future later."
"For now, I should focus on cultivation and strive to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe as soon as possible."
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan was preparing to return to the Primal Secret Realm to continue his cultivation when he suddenly received a message from Ireil.
"Master, information about alien infiltrators has been detected. Should we mark and remove them?"
"An alien infiltrator?" Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback; this was indeed an ancient term. He shook his head: "Was it accidentally exposed? But you don't need to ask me for instructions on such a minor matter; you can handle it yourself."
Ireil's combat power is no less than that of the Lord of the Universe, and as the core of the virtual universe, she can also use the illusory power of the universe's origin.
In other words, Irelia can create a virtual clone anywhere within the virtual universe whenever she wants.
Although her strength is only one-thousandth of what it was at its peak, she can easily condense hundreds of these clones, and each clone's combat power is no less than that of a high-level Venerable.
That's why Chen Yuan said to let Irele handle the matter of the alien infiltrators herself.
After all, no matter how strong these infiltrators are, at most they are just a Venerable leading a group of Immortals, and Ireil can easily crush them.
However, after hearing Chen Yuan's words, Irene did not act immediately. Instead, she said, "Master, these infiltrators are behaving strangely; they seem to have deliberately exposed themselves."
"And their purpose in exposing themselves seems to be merely to deliver a message."
"News?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised. "Could it be related to me?"
"Yes."
After a pause, Irene continued, "These messages, once decrypted, roughly say—[Primordial Lord, when will you release the Lord of Heavenly Wolf? My demon race has agreed to your request]."
"Uh, Lord of Sirius?" Chen Yuan was taken aback, then suddenly slapped his forehead. "I've been too engrossed in cultivation lately and forgot about this guy."
He remembered that ever since he sealed the Lord of Sirius inside the Star Tower, he seemed to have never paid any attention to him again.
After all, the so-called release conditions were just something he casually mentioned; he himself did not lack any so-called supreme treasures.
So after suppressing the Lord of Sirius, he went to work on the virtual universe and never returned to the Star Tower. Later, he simply forgot about this demon race's universe lord!
Looking back now, two hundred years have passed since he suppressed the other party. It's no wonder that the demons were anxious after such a long time without a reply.
In fact, the Dream Demon Ancestor was indeed in a hurry.
When the Lord of Sirius was first suppressed, he wanted to negotiate with Chen Yuan, thinking that a top-tier treasure was too expensive.
But who would have thought that after Chen Yuan said he would make the deal after he finished his work, he would disappear without a trace.
For two hundred years, the Lord of Sirius was imprisoned in the dark and sunless Star Tower, never once seeing Chen Yuan's face, and naturally had no idea what the other party's attitude was.
Over time, the Lord of Sirius became the first to get anxious, because he worried that Chen Yuan would suppress him to the point of cosmic destruction.
Otherwise, since the demon race isn't refusing to agree to their conditions, why would Chen Yuan deliberately delay?
Then the Lord of Sirius went to report this matter to the Dream Demon Ancestor. Upon hearing it, the Dream Demon Ancestor also thought it was very likely, after all, the demon race had once seriously offended the other party.
Although Chen Yuan later retaliated, the feud between the two sides was officially established.
Now that the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is in the hands of the other party, even if the other party is afraid of going to war with the demon race and therefore will not kill the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, it is still easy to suppress him permanently.
Moreover, this wouldn't completely sever ties. As long as there's hope of redeeming the Lord of Sirius, the demon race certainly wouldn't be willing to risk going to war with the human race.
As for how long the suppression would last, Chen Yuan had plenty of excuses. The simplest one was to simply disappear. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to you, but rather that he would wait until he was done with his work.
If Chen Yuan really keeps delaying repayment, the demon race really doesn't have much of a way to deal with it.
In addition, the Lord of Sirius would often go to the palace of the Dream Demon Ancestor to complain, which gradually made the Dream Demon Ancestor anxious.
"I told you not to rush."
The Dream Demon Ancestor coldly said, "I have already dispatched spies who have infiltrated the human race to deliver the message, and I believe we will have results soon."
"But what if they never show up?"
The Lord of Sirius lay prostrate, his voice filled with worry.
There was no way around it; this kind of emotion was too torturous. If Chen Yuan had told him from the beginning how long he would be suppressed, he could have accepted it.
The other party had already agreed to release the person, and the ransom had been agreed upon, with only the final transaction remaining. However, the person suddenly disappeared, causing the Lord of Sirius's mood to plummet from the peak to the bottom.
This feeling of giving hope only to turn it into despair is the most torturous. In any case, the Lord of Sirius was becoming more and more anxious every day, and even the Dream Demon Ancestor was getting annoyed by him.
"If Chen Yuan doesn't show up, I'll contact the founder of the Giant Axe. Is that alright?"
The Dream Demon Ancestor said irritably, "It's only been two hundred years, and you've come here dozens of times already. I'm already annoyed even if you're not."
"Ancestor," the Lord of Sirius chuckled, "why not contact the creator of the Giant Axe directly? Directly connecting with the Giant Axe would be much more efficient, wouldn't it?"
"The true form of the Giant Axe Founder has gone to the Cosmic Sea; no one can find him."
The Dream Demon Ancestor rolled his eyes at him, "Even if I try to contact him, I'll have to wait until he returns from the Cosmic Sea. Just wait patiently."
"Ancestor, I—"
Before the Lord of Sirius could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a soft laugh.
"Don't bother Giant Axe with such a trivial matter, just ask me."
Chen Yuan held the Star Tower in his hands, standing on the tall and magnificent palace, looking down at the two demons.
