Chapter 278 tells the story of the magnificent primordial universe for God's Blessing!

"This world, this entire realm, is called the Primordial Universe. The Primordial Universe is unimaginably vast," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile, looking at the curious Shenyou.

"God bless you, do you know how fast the speed of light is?"

"The speed of light," Shenyou frowned slightly, deep in thought, without uttering a sound.

Zhou Ze said, "The speed of light is approximately 30 kilometers per second!"

"Distances in the primordial universe were typically measured in 'light-years.' A light-year is the distance light travels in space in one year, representing the speed at which light travels. This distance is called a 'light-year.'"

Shenyou nodded, seizing on the key phrase, and asked, "Senior, how many light-years are in the primordial universe you mentioned?"

"You can understand me, so it seems that slave traders left some common sense on your planet, or that people from your planet left a long time ago."

Zhou Ze looked at Shenyou and said, "As far as I know, the entire primordial universe is about 10 trillion light-years in diameter."

Shenyou was stunned, his mouth agape: "Ten trillion light-years in size? That's outrageous! It's unbelievable! How can the universe be so vast?"

"The entire Spirit Control Continent is probably less than a light-second in diameter." Shen You was clearly stunned and fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Shenyou regained his composure and asked curiously, "Senior, is the Primordial Universe the so-called Upper Realm?"

Zhou Ze shook his head: "No, that was just the slave traders deliberately giving you the wrong information. In fact, there is no such thing as an upper realm or an outer realm. Your Spirit Control Continent itself is located in the primordial universe—"

"It's like when you look up at the sky, that's the primordial universe. By the way, after your breakthrough, have you ever flown into the stars yourself?"

Shenyou shook his head and explained, "There is a barrier between the continent and the starry sky; we cannot escape this cage."

"I see." Zhou Ze understood. "This is a common practice among many slave traders, to prevent you from escaping."

Shenyou asked, "Senior, are you saying that our Spirit Control Continent is located within the Upper Realm?"

"Hmm." Zhou Ze nodded and explained, "Well, let me first explain the regional divisions of the primordial universe, and you'll soon understand your own position."

"Okay, senior." Shenyou looked expectant. He was still a minor on Earth, a time when he was full of curiosity about everything.

"Countless races and groups inhabited the primordial universe. These groups were ranked from strongest to weakest as follows: peak groups, powerful groups, ordinary groups, and weak groups. Our human race was one of the most peak and powerful races among all the races in the universe!"

"I never imagined that our human race is so powerful!" Shenyou was somewhat excited. He thought that after ascending to the upper realm, the human race would fall into difficulties and face the oppression of all races in the heavens, just like in the stories told by those storytellers.

Unexpectedly, the human race is one of the most powerful races in the original universe.

"Yes!" Zhou Ze nodded and said, "Our human race is one of the six most powerful and dominant races in this vast primordial universe."

"We rule over countless races, and billions of races depend on us humans for survival."

"This lady is amazing—" Shenyou exclaimed excitedly, feeling proud of himself as a human.

"Hehe," Zhou Ze thought, finding Shenyou's excited expression quite amusing. It was like a protagonist who, after changing maps, learns of the incredibly vast and magnificent world outside and is filled with anticipation and a desire to explore the future.

Zhou Ze quickly stated, "Our human race currently possesses 1008 advanced cosmic nations, each with an incomparably vast cosmic territory, which corresponds to the largest regional unit in the universe—a star sector!"

"Below the star sector is the star field. An advanced cosmic civilization represents a large star sector. The star sector we are in is the Dream Star Sector."

"Below the star sector are the star domains, which often correspond to intermediate-level civilizations in the universe. Below that are star systems. A large star sector usually has about 10,000 star domains, a star domain usually has about 10,000 star systems, and a star system has about hundreds of thousands of inhabited planets. Each inhabited planet is about the size of your Spirit Control Continent."

Seeing Shen You's stunned expression, Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "By the way, a galaxy is usually at least tens of thousands of light-years in size."

The largest ones could be millions of light-years away.

Shenyou's mind went blank for a moment, finding it hard to accept. He pointed to his fingers and muttered:

"If a star system contains hundreds of thousands of worlds equivalent to the size of the Spirit Control Continent, then a star field must have at least billions, and a star region at least tens of trillions—"

Shenyou swallowed hard, his heart pounding: "The entire human race possesses 1008 cosmic kingdoms, which means at least, my god, that many—far more than the entire population of the Spirit Control Continent!"

"With so many worlds, how many people would there be???"

"Population?" As soon as Zhou Ze spoke, Shen You immediately looked at him. Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "If we're talking about population, then it's far more than just the places that people can live in on the surface."

"Whether it's the inner world of a realm lord, the divine kingdom of an immortal god, or the cosmic secret realm attached to the primordial universe, countless people live within them!"

At this moment, Shenyou calmed down: "With such a large population, how many powerful individuals can be born? Even if it's only one in a billion, or even one in a trillion, it would still produce a large number of powerful individuals!"

"That's right!" Zhou Ze laughed, "The reason why our human race can continuously produce a large number of powerful individuals is twofold: firstly, our population, and secondly, our vast territory!"

Shenyou suddenly blinked his eyes and looked at Zhou Ze expectantly, asking, "Senior, how are cultivation realms divided in the primordial universe?"

What level am I, as an ascendant, at?

In Shenyou's view, he was able to break free from the small world of the Spirit Control Continent, and with a casual strike he could stir up monstrous waves and cleave mountains. Even in the primordial universe, he would not be weak.

Zhou Ze couldn't help but grin and said, "You're probably at the lowest level in the universe, the planetary level. Of course, below the planetary level is the apprentice level, and in the universe, an apprentice is a completely insignificant existence."

"Ah!" Shenyou's eyes widened in disbelief! He, the most heaven-defying genius and the strongest expert in the history of the Spirit Control Continent, was actually the lowest level existence in the Upper Realm, at the bottom of the food chain.

Before Shenyou could speak, Zhou Ze continued, "The realms in the universe, from lowest to highest, are: Planetary, Constant, Universe, Domain Lord, and World Lord!"

"Planetary level, enough to wander the universe as a henchman, servant, or cannon fodder."

"A star-level being on a remote planet in the universe is considered quite a big shot, but on some important planets, it's better to keep a low profile."

"Cosmic level, well, barely qualifies as a strong one. After all, only one cosmic level being born in a normal star system can easily obtain dozens of planets as territory by joining a cosmic kingdom."

"A Domain Lord is a regional overlord! Even nascent civilizations in the universe wouldn't dare to provoke them easily. They can build their own power. In the vast universe, any universe nation would desperately try to win over a Domain Lord-level expert."

"As for the realm lord, acquiring a star system as their territory would be a piece of cake!"
