Chapter 132: The Opulent Estate

“Your Highness Luo Yuan, I have been waiting for you for quite some time.” An exceedingly enthusiastic old man in a white robe, with hair and beard as white as snow, spoke to him. He was an immortal god. “You may simply call me Aitor. I am currently responsible for managing the various affairs of the Original District.”

“I understand.” Luo Yuan nodded.

As this was the Virtual Universe, things such as cleaning and trimming the flowers and plants could naturally be simulated in an instant. Perhaps for the sake of realism, however, everything here had been reproduced with one hundred percent fidelity. There were even large numbers of servants assigned specifically to clean, tend the gardens, and wait upon the various Highnesses.

When one was hungry, one had to buy food. When one was thirsty, one had to buy drinks. Even purchasing real estate in the Virtual Universe required money. Everything was exactly the same as in the real world.

“Your Highness Luo Yuan, please come with me.” The immortal god Aitor smiled as he led the way.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two of them rose into the air and flew through the Original District. As one of the Five Districts, the Original District was enormous. After all, it occupied nearly half of the entire Rain Mountain, and was far larger than the whole of Earth. Yet this vast territory housed only a little over a hundred members.

“At present, the Original District has 115 official members: one hundred Highnesses at the World Overlord level, ten Highnesses at the Domain Lord level, and five Highnesses at the Universe level.” While flying, Aitor pointed downward. “There are many cultivation grounds, reading facilities, restaurants, and other establishments within the Original District. The residential area is located at the very rear. There are 115 luxurious estates, each measuring 1,100 kilometers in length and 1,000 kilometers in width.”

Luo Yuan listened in amazement.

An enormous estate 1,100 kilometers long and 1,000 kilometers wide—what extravagance! This was the treatment enjoyed by members of the Original District. In contrast, even the lowest-ranking Apocalypse District consisted of apartment blocks.

“Your Highness Luo Yuan’s estate is Number 112. Its architectural style has already been modified according to the preferences you submitted earlier.” Aitor pointed toward a magnificent cluster of ancient-style buildings in the distance. Pavilions, terraces, covered walkways, and waterside halls stood amid vast lakes, bamboo groves, ancient bridges, and graceful cranes. It looked like a celestial paradise.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two descended.

“Your Highness!” The estate’s entrance was a full kilometer wide. Two thirty-meter-tall minotaur giants bowed respectfully.

“Your Highness Luo Yuan,” Aitor said with a smile, “as a member of the Original Secret Region, your standard guard force consists of an entire battalion. The battalion has one general, ten captains, and one hundred warriors. The general is an immortal god, the captains are ten peak World Overlords from the Apocalypse Secret Region, and the warriors are one hundred peak Domain Lords. In the Virtual Universe, they will be stationed here at your estate. In reality, they will likewise protect you. Every one of them will obey your commands.”

“Mm.” Luo Yuan nodded slightly.

Although he had known this for some time, seeing it with his own eyes was still rather shocking.

Two peak Domain Lords were serving as gatekeepers.

The commander of the guard force was an immortal god, while the ten World Overlords under him had all received recognition from the Origin Laws.

“In addition to the guard force, there are more than one hundred thousand servants in the estate to attend to Your Highness,” Aitor added with a smile.

At that moment, a gust of wind swept past, and a group of people suddenly appeared at the estate entrance. The woman at their head had a cold, beautiful appearance resembling that of a human from Earth. Upon seeing Luo Yuan, she bowed and said, “Your Highness.”

The enormous group behind her bowed with utmost respect and called out in unison, “Greetings, Your Highness!”

“This is the general of Your Highness’s guard force, an immortal god. Her full name is Mona Capet,” Aitor said with a smile.

“You may simply call me Mona, Your Highness,” the cold beauty said hurriedly.

“Mona, I’ll be relying on you from now on,” Luo Yuan replied courteously.

“It is only my duty.” Mona’s gaze toward Luo Yuan softened.

Judging by the arrangements of the Virtual Universe Company, her status was lower than Luo Yuan’s. But she was, after all, an immortal god. No matter how extraordinary the Highness before her was, he was still merely a genius rather than a true powerhouse. Perhaps he might even fall before ever reaching her level.

Aitor quickly said, “Your Highness Luo Yuan, I shall take my leave first. Mona is very familiar with everything in the estate. She will explain it all to you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Aitor.” Luo Yuan nodded.

Aitor immediately transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

“Your Highness, this way, please.” Mona led the way, and Luo Yuan entered his estate.

…

From the entrance, the estate was filled with vast expanses of flowers and green grass. All kinds of rare trees had been planted throughout the grounds. Birds sang amid fragrant blossoms, and the landscaping was exquisite.

“That is Your Highness’s cultivation ground.” Mona pointed toward a colossal sealed building in the distance. “The entire cultivation ground is fifty kilometers long, thirty kilometers wide, and three hundred meters high. The floor inside is incomparably hard.”

“Mm.” Luo Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The Dark Cloud Shuttle beneath his feet could reach astonishing speeds. If the space were too small, he would not be able to unleash it properly. Fifty kilometers in length, thirty kilometers in width, and three hundred meters in height could only be considered decent for a Controller—adequate, at best. Naturally, such a vast space was more than sufficient for a warrior.

Every member of the Original Secret Region had an immortal teacher stationed there year-round to provide guidance. This immortal god named Mona could also be regarded as the immortal teacher assigned to Luo Yuan. Of course, as a member of the Original Secret Region, he could replace his immortal teacher at any time.

“That is the swimming pool.” Mona pointed toward another enormous pool in the distance. “It is divided into an inner pool and an outer pool. The water in the inner pool contains special effects and can rapidly restore a tired body. The inner pool is further divided into six sections according to water temperature. In truth, this arrangement is merely a simulation of reality. In the real Original Secret Region, the conditions of Your Highness’s residence are far better than these.”

“Oh?” Luo Yuan’s eyes lit up, but he immediately shook his head. “What a pity that I still have to wait so long.”

His journey through the universe would last three years. After three years, he would travel to the Initial Universe. Only after leaving the Initial Universe might he go to one of the Four Secret Regions—the Original Secret Region.

…

Mona continued introducing the functions of the various buildings in the estate before pointing toward a secluded three-story pavilion in the distance.

“Your Highness, that is where you will live. You may use the virtual assistant to customize the interior of the pavilion however you wish, according to your personal preferences.”

…

The first floor of the residential pavilion was for receiving guests, the second floor was for entertainment, and the third floor contained the bedroom, study, and other areas for rest.

Luo Yuan looked over the interior layout and was very satisfied. Everything was designed in a classical Eastern style, as he had submitted his preferences to the estate’s staff before arriving.

Luo Yuan went to the study on the third floor and sat down with a smile in a high-backed official’s chair. With a thought, a hundred-inch light screen immediately appeared before him. He casually opened a folder labeled “Treasury.”

Beep!

The treasury opened. Eight major categories instantly appeared on the screen: “Secret Techniques,” “Weapons,” “Rare Treasures,” “Technological Weapons,” “Materials,” “Tools,” “Biological Lifeforms,” and “Other Special Items.”

Under each major category floated numerous subcategories. Under “Biological Lifeforms,” for example, there were “Plant Life,” “Metal Life,” “Tamed Beasts,” and so on. “Secret Techniques” was likewise divided into various schools and branches.

There were tens of millions of items across all the different categories.
