Manluo was genuinely shaken.
Jiang Yan had comprehended a planetary-level domain, yet he was only at stellar level, second order—and his domain had already reached the ninth layer.
This was no ordinary talent.
This was the kind of genius almost guaranteed to step into the World Master realm in the future.
Beside him, Mingyu stared at Jiang Yan in a daze, completely speechless.
When Mingyu himself had been at stellar level second order, he hadn't even brushed the edge of domain comprehension—let alone achieved a ninefold domain.
"Your Golden Origin Law… it's already at the threshold, isn't it?"
Manluo asked again, taking a deep breath as he slowly sat back down, forcing himself to calm his emotions.
"Yes," Jiang Yan nodded.
In truth, his comprehension of the Golden Origin Law had already reached major completion, far beyond merely crossing the threshold. Once it reached perfection, the origin itself would descend.
But there was no need to reveal that now.
The Genius Battle was still years away. When the time came, he would let the universe witness his talent in full.
Manluo then turned his gaze to Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng.
"All three of you have mastered domains as well. Don't tell me you also comprehended them at the planetary level?"
Hong replied honestly,
"I comprehended my domain at planetary level fourth order. It's currently at the third layer."
"I was planetary level eighth order," Thor said. "I'm still at the first layer."
Luo Feng nodded.
"Same as Second Brother—planetary level ninth order."
Their domain breakthroughs were not just the result of their own talent. Jiang Yan and Hong's guidance had been decisive—especially for Thor, who had personally experienced Jiang Yan's lightning domain before successfully comprehending his own.
"You're all from the same planet—Huaxia Star," Manluo said slowly.
"And all of you comprehended domains at the planetary level."
Both Manluo and Mingyu were visibly shaken.
That level of comprehension was… absurdly high.
"Then your bloodline level must be extraordinary," Manluo said.
"Bloodline level?" Jiang Yan paused, deliberately putting on a puzzled expression.
Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng followed suit, wearing matching looks of confusion.
For cultivators from a backward indigenous planet, ignorance of such concepts was perfectly normal.
Manluo smiled.
"Take a look. This is the bloodline classification chart, which divides human bloodlines into ten ranks."
A projection appeared in the Heart Chamber, displaying a detailed table.
After examining it, Jiang Yan shook his head.
"According to this chart, the bloodline of us Huaxia humans isn't particularly high," he said calmly.
"In the vast universe, it should only be considered ninth rank."
"Only ninth rank?!"
Manluo and Mingyu exclaimed in unison.
"Yes. Ninth rank," Jiang Yan confirmed.
Manluo's gaze froze for a moment—then he laughed.
"Then congratulations."
"Congratulations?" Thor looked confused.
"Haha, I haven't properly introduced myself yet," Manluo said, smiling broadly.
"I am a Supervisor of the Virtual Universe Company, stationed at the Qianwu Universe Kingdom Branch, and the General Manager overseeing dozens of medium-level empire branches, including the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You may call me Manluo."
Then he got straight to the point.
"Are you willing to join the Virtual Universe Company?"
"Based on the evaluation standards of the Heilong Mountain Empire Branch:
Jiang Yan will be rated a Peerless Genius.
Hong—a Special Elite.
Luo Feng and Thor—First-tier Elites."
"As long as you join the company, Jiang Yan will receive an SSS-level Bloodline Evolution Agent for free.
Hong—an SS-level agent.
Luo Feng and Thor—S-level agents."
Manluo smiled faintly.
"So—are you willing to join now?"
In reality, all four could have joined the Qianwu Branch directly.
But Manluo had no intention of letting that happen.
At the Qianwu Branch, he was just a supervisor.
Here, in the Heilong Mountain Branch, he was the general manager.
The Genius Battle was only a few years away.
From Manluo's perspective, Jiang Yan was all but guaranteed to enter the top 1,000 in the Qianwu qualifiers. When that happened, headquarters would issue rewards—and as general manager, Manluo would reap the greatest benefits.
If Jiang Yan joined the Qianwu Branch instead, Manluo would be lucky to get a taste of the leftovers.
Afterward, Manluo explained the effects of the Bloodline Evolution Agents in detail.
Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng all turned to Jiang Yan instinctively.
"We're willing to join the Virtual Universe Company," Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"But we'll join as external members, not internal ones. We all intend to participate in the upcoming Genius Battle."
Internal membership came with too many restrictions and too little freedom—something Jiang Yan would never accept.
"No problem," Manluo said without hesitation. He had expected as much from a genius like Jiang Yan.
He gestured toward the burly man beside him.
"His name is Mingyu, external deacon of the Heilong Mountain Branch."
"Welcome to the Heilong Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company," Mingyu said, smiling warmly.
A few minutes later, the contracts were signed.
Jiang Yan and the others officially became external members of the Virtual Universe Company's Heilong Mountain Branch.
"Congratulations," Manluo said, smiling as he handed over a contact code.
"Jiang Yan, this is my personal contact information. If you ever encounter a problem in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire that you truly cannot resolve, contact me directly."
Mingyu froze.
Lord Manluo—a dignified Immortal—was giving his personal contact information to a stellar-level youth?
Even Mingyu himself, a Domain Lord, didn't possess it.
Envy surged uncontrollably in his heart.
"Thank you, Lord Manluo," Jiang Yan said sincerely.
What he lacked most right now was protection from a true powerhouse.
Even if Manluo was only an Immortal military lord, he was still an Immortal. With this promise, Jiang Yan effectively held a protective talisman within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
"That will be all for today," Manluo said with a wave of his hand, smiling.
The dismissal was clear.
Jiang Yan and the others withdrew respectfully.
"Mingyu," Manluo said calmly after they left,
"Keep an eye on these youths before the Genius Battle—especially Jiang Yan. Nothing must happen to him. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord!" Mingyu replied immediately, heart pounding.
After leaving the Killing Field, Jiang Yan and the others withdrew their consciousness from the Virtual Universe.
"We'll head to Brandy Star immediately," Jiang Yan said.
"The Bloodline Evolution Agents will be there. We should arrive in about three days."
He was genuinely looking forward to the effects of an SSS-level Bloodline Evolution Agent.
Although his body had been nurtured by the Demon-Slayer clone using the Golden Horned Giant Beast's talent, his bloodline rank had only risen to around seventh or eighth.
With an SSS-level evolution agent—
The final weakness of his physique would be completely erased.
