The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 240 Transcendence, Ascending to the Throne! (The Finale)

"Zhou Yuan?"

"So it was this guy..."

A knowing smile flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. As a transmigrator, he understood the cause and effect of this journey across two worlds better than anyone else.

The Heavenly Origin Realm is a great realm on par with the Great Thousand Worlds, and it once experienced an earth-shattering battle for creation. The Ancestral Dragon, as the first-order god, created all things in the Heavenly Origin Realm; while the Holy God, as the second-order god, attempted to devour the entire Heavenly Origin Realm to break through its limits.

In the end, the Holy God's conspiracy was thwarted by Yuan Zun Zhou Yuan. However, the Holy God's son, Tian Xie Shen, led the remaining extraterrestrial evil race to escape from Tianyuan Realm, eventually wandering throughout the Great Thousand Worlds and wreaking havoc.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Tsk tsk, Zhou Yuan has certainly got a good plan!"

He counted on his fingers, "In the long river of time, we see three unlucky ones... no, three rulers cleaning up the mess, and then they just dump the mess on us without a second thought?"

"This is such an unfair practice!" Lu Chen exclaimed in anguish. "So, our Great Thousand World is just your garbage dump?"

As he spoke, he suddenly rubbed his hands together, eager to prove himself: "But it doesn't matter. Once I become a ruler, I will definitely go to the Heavenly Origin Realm to personally express my gratitude."

"Don't think you can get away with just a few small gifts."

"This isn't over!"

……

Meanwhile, in the distant Tianyuan Realm...

Deep within the Cangxuan Heaven and the Cangxuan Sect.

Deep in the misty mountains, a thousand-year-old peach tree was in full bloom. Zhou Yuan lay lazily under the tree, chewing on the spiritual fruit that Yao Yao had fed him, his eyes half-closed in contentment.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, his expression becoming incredibly complex.

"What's wrong?" Yao Yao gently swept away the fallen peach blossoms with her delicate hand.

Zhou Yuan's lips twitched: "Someone's coming to beat me up..."

"Oh?" Yao Yao's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. "Who's the blind fool this time?"

“That newly appointed ruler of the Great Thousand Worlds…” Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth, “That bastard, relying on having two ruler-level fathers-in-law, actually…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed Yao Yao and ran, saying, "Quick, let's go! Let's go to another world to avoid trouble!"

Yao Yao was pulled into the air by him and couldn't help but chuckle: "Even a dignified Yuan Zun has a time when he has to flee in defeat?"

"What do you know!" Zhou Yuan shouted, glancing back as he ran. "That bastard brought the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor with him! Who can hold them off?!"

……

The vast world, the Tianluo Continent.

Deep within the Great Luo Heaven.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the futon, and with a thought, three dazzling golden lights shot through the air and slowly swirled in front of him.

In the first ray of golden light, a writing brush, entirely gilded in gold, floated silently. The words "Tian Yuan" were engraved on the handle, and the tip of the brush exuded the chaotic aura of creation—it was Zhou Yuan's famous divine artifact, the Tian Yuan Brush.

Within the second golden light, a wisp of purple-gold dragon energy wandered aimlessly, radiating a pressure that commanded the submission of all dragons. This wisp of ancestral dragon energy sometimes transformed into the shape of a dragon, and sometimes scattered as starlight, containing the primordial origin of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The third golden light was the most dazzling, within which floated a scripture made of dragon scales. The three gilded characters "Ancestral Dragon Scripture" flowed across the cover, and each dragon scale recorded the supreme Dao.

Lu Chen looked at the three supreme treasures floating before him and couldn't help but chuckle. Beside the Heavenly Origin Brush floated a hastily written note, the handwriting so hurried it seemed to have been jotted down hastily while being chased.

Just as he reached for it, the note suddenly burst into flames. In the dancing flames, a line of large, flowing golden characters appeared in mid-air:
"The cause and effect have been cleared; do not come again!"

"This guy..." Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle, "A dignified Yuan Zun, is he really that scared?"

"But he's really dreaming..."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, then waved his sleeve to put away the Heavenly Origin Brush and the Ancestral Dragon Scripture. He then took a step and appeared in the sky above the Great Luo Heaven.

……

Above the Great Luo Heaven, Lu Chen stood suspended in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind. He took a deep breath, and the wisp of ancestral dragon energy instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

Rumble!
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged. High above, countless rays of light poured down like a silver river, weaving together to form a vast curtain of light that stretched across the heavens and earth. On this curtain of light, stars swirled and mountains appeared and disappeared, as if reflecting the entire universe and all living beings.

A terrifying pressure swept across all directions, and all the powerful beings in the Great Luo Heaven felt difficulty breathing and involuntarily looked up.

The Heavenly Rankings!
"Look!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

In a certain spot on the Celestial Ranking, dazzling spiritual light began to gather, gradually condensing into an ancient character—

"leaf!"

The moment that word appeared, the entire space of the Great Luo Heaven trembled. Mandala's petite body trembled slightly, her voice filled with disbelief: "This is... the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds?!"

Lin Jing suddenly covered her mouth, as fragments of her father's words flashed through her mind: "Dad said that back then, the Immortal Emperor Ye Chen left his name on the World Will Sky Ranking, achieving a half-step transcendence..."

Jiuyou's pupils suddenly contracted. She clearly saw that after the character "Ye," spiritual light began to gather again!
"boom--"

High in the sky, countless nine-colored spiritual lights suddenly erupted from Lu Chen's body. Each light contained the primal power of a heaven and earth spiritual fire. The nine spiritual powers merged perfectly, transforming into a giant finger that reached for the sky, shattering the void and pointing straight at the Heavenly Ranking.

With that single finger strike, the entire world trembled!
Above the endless fiery domain, two peerless figures suddenly separated.

The dazzling fire lotus dancing at Emperor Yan's fingertips slowly extinguished. He looked towards the Tianluo Continent, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "This kid..." The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, "He did manage to seize the initiative."

The Martial Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, eight ancestral talismans slowly swirling around him. Gazing at the dazzling character "Lu" on the Heavenly Ranking, a rare smile appeared on his usually cold and stern face:

"My son-in-law."

These three simple words made Emperor Yan roll his eyes: "Old Lin, you've said that eight hundred times."

The Martial Ancestor paid no attention, turning his gaze to the monstrous demonic energy that suddenly erupted from the Northern Wilderness Hill, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "It seems that some fellows can no longer hold back."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan laughed heartily, and with a flick of his sleeve, he tore open a space: "Let's go! Let that brat see what it means to be an old fox with a spicier tongue!"

……

At this moment, every living being in every corner of the world felt a sense of connection and looked up. On the celestial ranking list, a powerful and vigorous character "陆" (Lu) was slowly taking shape, each stroke resonating with the heavens and earth.

When the last stroke was completed, the entire world fell silent, and all living beings felt a tremor originating from the depths of their souls.

Just as everyone held their breath, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils blazing with lightning. He raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the Heavenly Origin Brush appeared out of thin air in his palm, its tip radiating a chaotic light that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth.

"not enough……"

He wielded his brush in mid-air, then heavily struck the character "陆" (Lu). Each stroke caused the heavens and earth to tremble, the void to crack and then reform, as if resisting this act against the heavens.

"dust!"

As the final stroke was completed, the entire Sky Ranking trembled violently. When the two characters "Lu Chen" appeared in their entirety, countless bolts of lightning erupted from the void, illuminating the entire Great Thousand World as if it were daytime.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to stand still.

On the Celestial Ranking, the two characters "Lu Chen" radiated an eternal, undying light, each stroke containing supreme power. Wherever that light fell, all things bowed their heads, all beings worshipped, and even the entire Great Thousand World trembled slightly. Bathed in boundless spiritual light, Lu Chen's perception instantly encompassed the entire Great Thousand World:
He saw the jubilant crowds on the Tianluo Continent;

Seeing the excited faces of Mu Chen's family from the Futu Ancient Clan;

Seeing the pale-faced Western Heaven War Emperor of the Western Heaven Continent...

An unprecedented sense of control welled up within him. Lu Chen slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power of domination within him, and softly declared:

"From this day forward, above the Saintly Rank, shall be the ruler."

As soon as the words fell, heaven and earth resonated! The laws of heaven and earth in the vast world underwent subtle changes at this moment, as if responding to the will of this newly ascended ruler.

Lu Chen stared at the shining true names on the Sky Ranking, then suddenly frowned. He sensed a familiar aura disappearing into the depths of the endless void at an astonishing speed.

“Zhou Yuan…” Lu Chen chuckled softly as he played with the Heavenly Yuan Brush, “He’s quite fast.”

At this moment——

Rumble!
In the central region of the Great Thousand World, the Northern Wilderness Hills suddenly exploded, and a pitch-black demonic pillar with a diameter of ten thousand feet pierced through the heavens and earth!

The demonic energy was so dense that it corroded the clouds within a million miles, turning them blood red. From within the demonic pillar, a majestic demonic figure slowly rose; even its blurry outline caused the world to lose its color and the sun and moon to lose their light.

Wherever that overwhelming demonic power passed, everything withered, as if the end of the world had arrived!
The Heavenly Evil God has broken free from its seal ahead of schedule!

However, as soon as this world-destroying demon god appeared, it tore through space without hesitation, its demonic wings flapping wildly as it fled in panic toward the outer realms!

Wherever it passed, demonic blood was scattered in the void, clearly indicating that it was willing to burn its own life force to escape.

And just as the Heavenly Evil God tore through the void and fled in panic—

"boom!"

A dazzling fire lotus suddenly bloomed in the void, dyeing the entire sky crimson. Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan, arrived riding the flames, his Xuan Heavy Ruler pointing directly at the Heavenly Evil God: "Your Excellency, where are you going?"

Almost simultaneously, the eight ancestral talismans transformed into a net, sealing off all escape routes. Martial Ancestor Lin Dong stood with his hands behind his back, coldly saying, "Since you're here, why the rush to leave?"

The Heavenly Evil God's crimson demonic eyes suddenly contracted, and his demonic energy surged wildly: "Two mere peak Saint-grade beings dare to block my path?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a beam of pitch-black demonic light. Wherever that light passed, even space itself was corroded, leaving jagged cracks!

"not good!"

Emperor Yan's expression changed drastically, and his imperial flames instantly transformed into a towering wall of fire. However, the demonic light pierced through the wall of fire, sending him flying!
The Martial Ancestor unleashed all eight talismans, but the Heavenly Evil God swung his demonic claw, shattering the eight ancestral talismans! The terrifying backlash caused a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of the Martial Ancestor's mouth.

"Insects!" The Heavenly Evil God grinned maliciously, about to break through the encirclement, when suddenly his whole body stiffened.

A clear, cold voice came from the heavens:
"Seniors, we apologize for keeping you waiting."

Lu Chen arrived, his feet treading on lightning; with each step, dazzling lightning lotuses bloomed in the void. He lightly touched the Heavenly Origin Brush in his hand—

"boom!"

A chaotic bolt of lightning containing the power of domination struck down, instantly blasting half of the Heavenly Evil God's body into dust!
"You... you actually stepped into that realm..." The Heavenly Evil God let out a shrill howl, and demonic blood cascaded down like a waterfall.

Lu Chen didn't answer, but turned to look at the slightly disheveled Yan Emperor Martial Ancestor, and smiled slightly: "Father-in-law, how about I hand over this little bug to you?"

Emperor Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed, scolding, "You brat, what are you showing off for!"

Martial Ancestor silently took half a step back, but a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Lu Chen chuckled and took a step forward, blocking the path of the Heavenly Evil God: "The blood debt owed by the extraterrestrial evil race..."

"It's time for a reckoning."

The Heavenly Evil God's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, and his evil eye between his brows twitched violently: "What a magnificent world! It has actually produced another transcendent being!"

His voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness. He had already secured victory, waiting only for the seal to be broken in ten years, but he never expected that someone would be able to carve his complete true name on the Heavenly Ranking ahead of time!

"The Five-Eyed God-Slaying Diagram!"

With a fierce shout, the demonic energy in the Heavenly Evil God's palm surged like a tide. Within that overwhelming demonic energy, a bizarre scroll, as black as ink, suddenly unfolded—five scarlet demonic eyes slowly opened on the scroll, each flowing with viscous demonic blood.

Boom!

The demonic diagram crashed to the ground, and spiderweb-like spatial rifts spread wildly. The Heavenly Evil God grinned maliciously at Lu Chen: "This god will see what you, this newly crowned ruler, are like..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen calmly raised the Heavenly Origin Brush and lightly touched the air with the tip:

"Give me a pen."

Two simple words caused the entire world to shake violently!
A phantom image of a divine brush, spanning the heavens and the earth, burst forth from the endless void, its surface shrouded in the projection of the world's power from the Heavenly Origin Realm.

At the same time, countless rays of spiritual light descended from the Sky Ranking, and the power of the entire world was poured into the Heavenly Origin Brush.

With a single stroke, the world loses its color!

"Roar--"

The Heavenly Evil God let out a shrill roar, his body surging with demonic liquid, transforming into a hideous demonic armor. However, before that dazzling light, all defenses were easily pierced as thin as paper.

"puff!"

Black demonic blood gushed from between the Heavenly Evil God's brows. He staggered backward, the ferocity on his face gradually turning into resentment: "I never thought... that I, the God, would actually..."

boom!
The demonic body of the Heavenly Evil God exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy that raged forth like a burst dam, staining the sky for billions of miles around black. Wherever that terrifying demonic energy passed, even space itself groaned in agony, unable to bear the strain.

Lu Chen remained calm, and lightly drew a line with the Heavenly Origin Brush in his hand.

"Om-"

With a stroke of the brush, a phantom image of an ancestral dragon, spanning the heavens and earth, rose into the sky. The dragon's body was entirely purple-gold, and every scale was engraved with the divine runes of creation. When the dragon opened its mouth, it swallowed up all the demonic energy in the sky like a whale sucking in water.

Having done all this, Lu Chen flicked his sleeves. In an instant, countless rays of spiritual light scattered like petals from a celestial maiden, coalescing into a clear light screen above every continent, faithfully displaying the entire process of this demon-slaying war.

"The Heavenly Evil God has been slain, and the Great Thousand Calamities have ended."

The nine words, "Peaceful," resounded throughout heaven and earth like the morning bell and evening drum. The sound was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of every living being.

"The Heavenly Emperor's divine might!"

May the world be forever blessed!

Hundreds of millions of living beings knelt down in unison, their heartfelt cheers forming a vast torrent that even resonated with the Heavenly Ranking.

Above the hills of the northern wilderness, Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of satisfaction: "This kid is really impressive."

The Martial Ancestor raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a rare smile: "After all, he is my son-in-law."

……

This book is finished.
