The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 16: The Ninth Rank of Supreme Being, Crowned as King and Emperor!

"Have you finished reading? The eighteen commanders are all influential figures in the Daluo Realm over the years. They represent the strongest fighting force of the younger generation in the Daluo Realm. They may not be considered anything in the entire Northern Territory, but in our Northern Realm, they are considered the pride of heaven."

"It has been two years since the last Daluo Golden Pond Battle. In a year, it will be the Daluo Golden Pond Battle that happens every three years. If you don't have confidence, we can give up this time and wait for the next one."

Jiuyou tilted his head slightly, smiled faintly at Lu Chen, and said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen put down the jade slip in his hand and looked into Jiuyou's eyes. In the depths of those seemingly calm eyes, there was obviously a hint of expectation.

If he refused at this time because he had no confidence, she would probably be disappointed.

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Although I haven't experienced the abilities of the other commanders, since I'm in the Daluo Realm, I can't avoid these fights. The path of the strong is to advance, not retreat. How can I give away this opportunity?"

A smile appeared on Lu Chen's handsome face, and he quickly gave his answer.

"You are as confident as ever."

Jiuyou raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone, but the smile on her pretty face couldn't be stopped.

"But I can't stay in seclusion and practice hard for this year, Sister Jiuyou, I want to go out and gain some experience."

Lu Chen's face straightened and he spoke seriously.

Jiuyou nodded in agreement upon hearing this and said, "That's indeed the way it should be. You've just broken through to the Supreme Realm and don't yet understand the fighting methods of the Supreme Realm. Fighting with others will inevitably lead to losses, so it's only natural for you to go out and gain some experience."

"But before you start training, it's best to cultivate the Supreme Dharmakaya. Then, take the Daluo Token with you. With your strength and background, you can go to some small or medium-sized continents to train. If you encounter trouble, I believe the lords of those continents will give you some face."

"As long as you don't cause trouble, at least your life will be safe."

Lu Chen nodded.

Although it was called training, he knew in his heart that it was just a trip to grab the opportunity that was related to the Supreme Heaven, and at the same time wash away the more than 50,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids in his hands.

"There's one more thing. Since you've become the leader of my Jiuyou Palace, you should receive a salary."

Jiuyou said with a smile.

"How many?"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he asked with some anticipation.

Jiuyou smiled without saying anything, but just stretched out a finger in front of him.

"Ten thousand?"

Lu Chen said with some surprise.

"one thousand!"

Jiuyou rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "What do you think of the Daluo Realm? A treasure trove? My Jiuyou Palace, as a king-level power in the Daluo Realm, only earns a mere 10,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids a year."

"Not to mention that during my absence, the territories under my command were constantly annexed, and the income was getting smaller and smaller. Now, the annual income is less than 3,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids, which is not enough just to train the Nine Nether Guards."

"My Jiuyou Palace is currently the poorest king-level power in the Daluo Realm, bar none." "So miserable?"

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched, and he suddenly understood the value of the tens of thousands of Supreme Spirit Liquids in his mustard seed bracelet.

"If I didn't raise these thousands of Nine Nether Guards, these thousands of Supreme Spirit Liquids wouldn't be too little for me. After all, a first-grade Supreme can only condense one drop a month. Thousands of drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid are enough for me to practice for several months."

Jiuyou sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

However, having said that, the thousands of people left in Jiuyou Palace were all old people who voluntarily stayed after she left. They were all loyal and naturally could not be treated unfairly.

Lu Chen nodded, expressing his understanding, and then continued, "Besides the annual salary, do commander-level experts in the Daluo Realm receive any other benefits?"

"You can also go to the Sutra Library and choose any minor magic."

Jiuyou opened her red lips and said with a smile.

"Small magic?"

Lu Chen was shocked. Finally, he had something useful to him.

"Well, the so-called divine arts are a means of attack that transcends spiritual techniques. Only true divine arts can unleash the power of the spiritual strength of a supreme being."

"Don't underestimate this little magic. Just like spiritual techniques, magic arts also have different levels. They are roughly divided into three levels: small magic arts, big magic arts, and great perfection magic arts."

"According to the rules of our Daluo Heaven Realm, commanders can receive a minor divine art for free, kings can receive a major divine art for free, and as for emperors, except for the top level of the Sutra Library where divine arts are stored, the books on the first five levels can be read at will."

"After all, cultivating divine arts takes time. When you reach the Sealed Emperor level, you should already be thinking about breaking through to the Supreme Earth level. You won't waste precious cultivation time for a single divine art, even if it's a Great Perfection level art."

Jiuyou explained with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Sister Jiuyou, I wonder how the so-called King-level and Emperor-level are assessed? How many levels of supreme strength are needed to reach them?"

Jiuyou glanced at him and said calmly, "You are quite ambitious, kid. You are just a commander, but you dare to dream of becoming a king or emperor?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, generally speaking, the first to fourth rank supreme beings all serve as commanders in my Daluo Heavenly Domain. Because at this stage, it's just a matter of simply accumulating spiritual power, there's essentially no difference, so the difference in strength isn't huge, and successful challenges of higher-level beings often occur."

"But starting from the fifth-grade supreme, the gap will suddenly widen, because from this moment on, the supreme strong will have a special ability, which is to control the power of space!"

"This realm is also a major watershed in the Supreme Realm. Breakthroughs from this point on are no longer simply about accumulating spiritual power, but also require a deeper understanding of the spatial realm. At this stage, the importance of comprehension will be greatly enhanced. Such a strong person is no longer an unknown figure even in the entire Tianluo Continent."

"You can develop a king-level power, own your own territory, and even conquer other small continents, becoming the master of a continent. Therefore, you can be crowned king!"

"The King-level is generally a supreme powerhouse of the fifth or sixth rank. As for the Emperor-level, it is a late-stage supreme powerhouse of the seventh to ninth rank. Such a powerhouse is a guest of honor no matter which top power in the Northern Territory they visit. The strongest person below the Domain Lord can become the overlord of a region, commanding all the kings and dominating the entire region!"

After hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but show a look of longing on his face, his eyes sparkling, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "A real man should be like this!"

"I didn't realize you were quite passionate. But you're only eighteen years old this year. If you didn't have this youthful spirit, you wouldn't be able to reach the Supreme Realm."

Jiuyou looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

Wasn't she the same back then?
If this boy was not so similar to her own stubbornness when she insisted on leaving the clan to venture out into the world, she would not have brought this boy to the Daluo Realm to venture into this vast world!
