The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 38 One month later, the simulation begins

One month later,
Ruins Continent, northwest direction.

Swish!
In the lush ancient mountains, the sound of breaking wind was heard, and a streak of light swept across the sky. The wind pressure generated by the high speed left deep marks on the forest below.

The powerful spiritual power wrapped around Lu Chen's body. He kept passing through the mountains and fled away at a high speed.

Looking back into the distance, he saw a swarm of black and red ants chasing him relentlessly. He couldn't help but curse, "These Demon Fire Crystal Ants are so annoying! I just took a few of their ant crystals. Why are they chasing me like this?"

Seeing that the group of insects were chasing him so relentlessly, Lu Chen no longer cared about the consumption of his spiritual energy. He formed seals with his hands, flapped his wings behind him, and purple flames gradually covered his body.

After a brief pause,
Lu Chen's flying speed suddenly increased and turned into a stream of purple light. After several space shuttles, he flashed thousands of miles away.

Looking back, seeing that he could no longer see the annoying group of ants, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. His flying speed suddenly slowed down, the seals in his hands dissipated, his body trembled slightly, and the purple wings behind him turned into bursts of light purple light and dissipated.

Lu Chen's feet slowly landed on the ground, and he spread his palms. Looking at the red crystals in his palms, he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile: "The last auxiliary material of the Heavenly Flame Dharma Body has finally been collected."

"It's worthy of being the Demon Abyss Mountains, known as the source of all mines."

That’s right, the mountain range where Lu Chen is now is called the Demon Abyss Mountains, located in the northwest of the Ruins Continent. It is rumored to be the battlefield where the ancient spirit insect clan and an extraterritorial demon emperor fought a great battle.

The spirit insect clan, in that ancient time, was a powerful race that could be considered as the overlord even in the entire universe. Due to the special nature of the spirit insect clan, their corpses after death are usually difficult to decompose and will gradually turn into various strange minerals.

Hundreds of millions of corpses piled up, and after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the current Demon Abyss Mountains were formed.

"Unfortunately, there's still no clue about the Great Sun Golden Crystal. The Ruins Continent is simply too vast. A month is simply not enough time to fully explore this continent. We still have to go back to the Northern Cang Continent."

Lu Chen sighed, put away the ant crystal in his hand, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards a place in front of him where there was a faint sound of water.

Lu Chen nimbly passed through the thick thorns in the woods. After walking quickly for a while, his vision in front of him suddenly opened up.

Before his eyes, a huge waterfall, like a silver silk thread, rushed down from the top of a high mountain. The water hit the huge rocks and steam filled the sky.

On both sides of the waterfall, there are some steep cliffs. Lu Chen looked around and confirmed that there was no danger here. Then he threw a wisp of purple fire onto the cliff, which soon burned out a natural cave dwelling.

"Let's rest here for one night. It's time to refresh the number of simulations for this month. It won't be too late to go back after the simulation."

Thinking this, Lu Chen took a step and instantly jumped into the cave.

After entering the cave,

Lu Chen took out a cushion from the Sumeru bracelet, placed it in place, and sat on it. He then crossed his legs, made the hand seals of cultivation with his hands, and slowly recovered the spiritual power and mental fatigue that had been consumed in his body.

As time passed, his breathing gradually became steady. During the quiet practice, Lu Chen's mind sank into his body. His strange introspection allowed him to clearly see the Supreme Sea in his body, which had grown larger.

After this period of practice, Lu Chen could clearly feel that the spiritual power contained in the Supreme Sea was now three times more than before.

According to his estimation, if he continues to practice like this for three months, he should be able to reach the peak level of the first-grade supreme, which is enough to challenge the second-grade supreme.

Time slowly passes during cultivation.
Soon after, late night fell.

Lu Chen's mind slowly withdrew from his body. He twisted his body lazily, and the feeling of refreshment returned to him again.

And at this moment, the familiar voice sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! The current simulation count is one. Do you want to start the simulation?]

Hearing this pleasant voice, Lu Chen smiled and said silently in his heart: "Open!" [Future Life Simulation——]

In the first year, after gathering all the necessary materials for the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya, you returned to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and entrusted Dean Taicang with finding the Great Sun Golden Crystal for you. Dean Taicang readily agreed.

[A few days later, the Holy Spirit Mountain opens. Bei Cang Spiritual Academy sends Muchen to participate in the battle. At the same time, the academy issues a mission, sending other students to help you find the whereabouts of the Great Sun Golden Crystal.]

You and Dean Taicang used the Mirror of Judgment to observe the situation in Holy Spirit Mountain, as well as the battles between the top talents of the major forces in Beicang. You watched with great interest, occasionally discussing a few things with Dean Taicang, while also keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the Great Sun Golden Crystal.

[Not long after, Muchen, who was originally participating in the competition, suddenly encountered a spatial storm. You and Taicang could no longer see him. You were surprised because at the moment Muchen disappeared, you seemed to see a flash of golden light...]

A few days later, the battle for Holy Spirit Mountain entered its final stages. Finally, some began climbing the "Nine Heavenly Ladders" at the summit. Rumor has it that this was a test from the Supreme Being of Heaven. Only those who reached the nine levels could receive the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit," laying a solid foundation for future cultivation.

[Suddenly, another spatial storm struck, and Mu Chen's figure appeared on the top of the mountain at just the right moment.]

You look envious, with a faint suspicion in your heart. You know this lucky kid might have inherited a portion of the inheritance from the Celestial Supreme. After all, the Nine Divine Veins sealed within Muchen's body might be hidden from others, but it definitely couldn't be hidden from a Celestial Supreme.

Soon after, Muchen indeed defeated the prodigies of the other major factions and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. After the baptism, everyone was transported to the outside world. You were slightly disappointed that you didn't find the whereabouts of the Great Sun Golden Crystal.

[But at this moment, Muchen mysteriously finds you and hands you a golden crystal. That is the Great Sun Golden Crystal you have always dreamed of!]

After listening to his narration, you now know that the Supreme Being who sat in meditation and passed away on Holy Spirit Mountain was called the Great Sun Emperor. He was a descendant of the Golden Crow clan, and was wielded by the Great Sun Heavenly Fire. He tragically lost his strength in a fierce battle with a Demon Emperor from an evil clan outside the domain, and sat in meditation and passed away.

[The so-called Great Sun Golden Crystal is the original crystal formed after the Golden Crow's fall. It contains infinite power, and the entire Holy Spirit Mountain is actually a huge Great Sun Golden Crystal!]

[The piece in your hand is a remnant he found from a mysterious space. Even a perfect Earth Supreme would be helpless against the essence of a Heavenly Supreme's transformation after his death. This is all he could find for you.]

[You expressed that this was sufficient, and immediately began your retreat, holding the Great Sun Golden Crystal. As for the other materials, you had already gathered them in the Ruins Continent.]

[Three months later, you broke through the barrier and finally achieved the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya!]

The next day, you excitedly returned to the Ruins Continent. You arrived at the Demon Abyss Mountains and found the group of Demon Fire Crystal Ants that had previously hunted you. You began to test the power of your Heavenly Flame Dharma Body.

[As you were slaughtering them, an old voice suddenly sounded in your mind. Only then did you realize that these Demon Fire Crystal Ants actually had an owner.]

[Before you could explain, in a trance, you seemed to see a huge black sickle slashing across, and you died!]

[This simulation ends——]

【You can choose an item from your future life】

[1, Big Sun Golden Crystal]

[2. Ant Crystal of the Magic Fire Crystal Ant]

[3. Your memory of dying at the age of eighteen]

【Please make your choice】

Looking at the simulation results, Lu Chen let out a long sigh, smiled slightly, and said, "Finally, it's all complete. What a great Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya! It's really not easy to practice..."

　There is still one chapter to be updated during the day. I can’t hold on any longer. Everyone should go to bed early.
