Short answer
The Universe Ring is the standard XianLore name for 乾坤圈, one of Ne Zha's best-known circular artifacts. Depending on the adaptation, it can be thrown as a weapon, worn, or used to restrain and regulate power. It is not the Wind Fire Wheels and should not be identified from any generic halo or ring-shaped effect.

Visual identification standard / 图像识别标准
Effects and colors are not enough
Every claim should survive a check against character, object, location and adaptation context.
- Look for a physical circular ring associated directly with Ne Zha.
- Do not label the Wind Fire Wheels, a halo, a portal or one circle of flame as the Universe Ring.
- Record adaptation-specific wear, color and function instead of assuming one design applies everywhere.
