The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 68 Blood Eagle Hall seeks peace? Lu Chen: Wait for me for half a month...

Soon after,

In a dark and hazy space,

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a golden lightning flashed in them, and he murmured, "As expected of a great perfection-level body refining technique, it actually requires the use of lightning to temper the body. This is indeed a bit troublesome. I need to find a place with abundant thunder."

"Go and find it yourself. You must know that the stronger the thunder that tempers the body, the faster the progress of this technique will be. But you must also do it according to your ability."

"You must be aware of the principle that too much is as bad as too little. You just received the inheritance today and haven't had time to digest it yet. Come back tomorrow."

After saying that, the "Martial Ancestor" waved his sleeves, and before Lu Chen could react, a strong wind blew and he was blown out of this space.

……

Jiuyou Palace.

Inside a practice room.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the spot with his eyes closed. A faint golden light flickered in his head. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of golden light flashed through them.

After silently digesting the contents of the technique in his mind for a while, Lu Chen took out the inheritance jade slip he had simulated before and began to search carefully.

The contents of the inheritance jade slip were so vast that even with Lu Chen's supreme spiritual power, he had not yet been able to finish reading it. He had only glanced through a part of it before.

He successfully cultivated the most precious first transformation of the Three Profound Transformations of Heavenly Fire, but he had not had time to check the other techniques.

After searching for a while, Lu Chen indeed found the content about the Great Sun Thunder Body. It contained records of the original body's experience in cultivating the Jade Thunder Body. As for the final Great Sun Thunder Body, it was only mentioned and had not yet been cultivated.

Lu Chen silently flipped through the cultivation experiences in it, absorbing the essence of it, and time passed quietly during this period.

……

A few days later,
In the Jiuyou Palace, inside the main hall, Jiuyou sat at the very top, with his brows slightly furrowed. The atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn.

"The Blood Eagle King has asked for peace with us. He said that if we agree to this peace request, he will give us 300,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids and five Heavenly Pills as compensation."

"From now on, both sides will never invade each other again."

Jiuyou said slowly, the Blood Eagle King had a very sharp eye. He knew that Jiuyou Palace was weak now and urgently needed to control the cities that had just been captured, so he promised them huge benefits that they could not refuse to induce them to agree to peace talks.

This is a difficult choice for their Jiuyou Palace.

"Our Jiuyou Palace currently controls over a hundred cities. I think too much is as bad as too little. Continuing to attack will not bring much benefit to our Jiuyou Palace."

Tang Rou said worriedly.

In the hall, Tang Bing and Jiu You were silent. As for Lin Jing, he was still in seclusion cultivating the Supreme Dharma Body and was not here. Then they looked at Lu Chen who had been silent.

To date, Lu Chen's performance has won their trust.

"How many Blood Eagle Guards are left in the Blood Eagle Palace?"

Under their gaze, Lu Chen finally asked.

"Five thousand more."

Seeing this, Tang Bing immediately replied.

Lu Chen nodded gently, and then said: "We can negotiate peace, but the conditions must be changed. We want these 5,000 Blood Eagle Guards."

Hearing this, the three people in the hall were shocked.

Tang Rou said in surprise, "Those five thousand Blood Eagle Guards are the last of the Blood Eagle Palace's elite. Asking the Blood Eagle King for them would be like digging into his very lifeblood. Would he agree to that?"

"Just make him disagree."

Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "If he makes a mistake and really hands over these 5,000 Blood Eagle Guards, then the Blood Eagle Palace will no longer pose a threat to us. We can negotiate peace."

"At that time, the Blood Eagle Palace was nothing more than meat on the chopping board for us to slaughter."

"If he doesn't agree, then continue to attack. A blunt knife will cut his flesh and it will hurt him."

"Of course, there is another way to have the best of both worlds, which is to delay it."

"Drag it on?"

"Delaying the peace talks? What's the point?"

Jiuyou frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

Of course I’ll wait until I get the stuff in the simulation before I fight.

Lu Chen muttered to himself, but on the surface he kept a serious face and lied, "Create the illusion of peace talks and give the forces under the Blood Eagle King some hope."

"Then we will launch a full-scale attack and destroy the defenses constructed by the Blood Eagle King in one fell swoop. During the peace talks, the guards in the cities under the Blood Eagle Palace's command will definitely be relaxed, making this a perfect time for a surprise attack."

"Isn't this too despicable?"

Tang Bing frowned. Although she had never experienced the dangers of the world, she still maintained a pure warlike heart and did not want to win unfairly.

Jiuyou, however, didn't have so many concerns. She slapped the armrest fiercely and said with a faint smile, "That's right, let's do it. The Blood Eagle King dared to seize my territory. This time, I will give him a good beating."

Afterwards, the few of them discussed some details and decided on this matter. ...

Half a month later,

Inside a practice room.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the cushion with a small piece of paper placed in front of him, and the simulator's prompt sound came to his ears.

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

"Turn on!"

[Future life simulation——]

In the first year, you woke up from meditation. You looked at the note in front of you, stunned and shocked. "I'm actually in a simulation..."

Then, you calmed down, reviewed the contents of the note, and began to think about your next move. Soon, a bold plan formed in your mind.

[In the first month, you did not accept the Blood Eagle King's peace proposal. Instead, you ordered Jiuyou and others to continue delaying. You disguised yourself and joined the Xuantian Palace, the mortal enemy of the Daluo Heavenly Realm...]

In the second month, you bribed a fifth-rank elder of Xuantian Palace with a great divine art. You became close friends with him, and he introduced you to his backer—Xuantian Palace's Young Master Liu Ming. You demonstrated your astonishing strength and won Liu Ming's favor...

[In the third month, due to your generosity and extraordinary strength, you quickly established a firm foothold in Xuantian Palace. Due to your drastically changed appearance as the Supreme Dharmakaya, even Liu Ming, who had met you once, did not doubt your identity...]

In the fourth month, Liu Ming informed you that the Hundred Battles Domain was planning to attack the Daluo Realm, and asked you to prepare early, as this was all part of Xuantian Palace's scheme. In reality, the Hundred Battles Domain had already defected to Xuantian Palace, and their attack on the Daluo Realm was merely a token of their loyalty. You secretly transmitted this information back to the Daluo Realm...

In the fifth month, the Hundred Battles Domain launched an offensive against the Daluo Heavenly Domain. You expressed to Liu Ming your willingness to contribute to the Xuantian Palace's grand plan and wanted to participate in the Hundred Battles Domain's offensive against the Daluo Heavenly Domain. Liu Ming did not agree...

[In the sixth month, you requested to join the war again, but Liu Ming said it was not the right time yet...]

[In the seventh month, you bribed a favored concubine of Liu Ming, and Liu Ming finally agreed to your request to join the war. He gave you the command of 3,000 Xuantian soldiers, and you immediately rushed to the battlefield...]

In the eighth month, you led your army in a surprise attack on the Blood Eagle King's army. You led three thousand Xuantian soldiers to slay the five thousand Blood Eagle Guards. You slew the Blood Eagle King in battle at the foot of Thunder Demon City, and your fame spread throughout Xuantian Palace...

[In the ninth month, the Lord of the Daluo Heavenly Domain came out of seclusion and challenged Liu Tiandao, the Lord of the Xuantian Palace, to a duel. Over the Hundred Battles Domain, the battle raged for three days and three nights. No one knew the outcome, but then you suddenly received word of a withdrawal, and you returned to the Xuantian Palace...]

In the tenth month, you received a gift from the Blood Eagle King: 320,000 Supreme Spiritual Fluids and five Heavenly Pills. At the same time, for your heroic performance in the Hundred Battles Domain, you received a reward from the Xuantian Palace: a Heavenly Pill and a mid-grade artifact, the Phoenix Blood Sword...

[In the eleventh month, you were named the Blood Slaughter King of Xuantian Palace, and you began to build your own power...]

[In the twelfth month, you were listed as one of the three great demons of Xuantian Palace, the Human Demon Elder. Your influence expanded...]

[The following year, the Great Hunting War began, and you led 5,000 Xuantian troops to join the battlefield...]

[In the first month, you and Jiuyou worked together from the inside and outside, and you killed your enemy in Xuantian Palace—King Moro...]

[In the second month, you rescued the Demon Dragon King from being hunted by the Shura King. He was extremely grateful to you...]

[In the third month, you and King Lishan colluded with each other and killed King Jiuhu, who was suspicious of you...]

[In the fourth month, you saved Xuantian Palace's Young Master Liu Ming, for which he was extremely grateful to you...]

[In the fifth month, the Great Hunt ended. You returned to Xuantian Palace and were met by Liu Tiandao. He asked you to enter the Xuantian Palace treasury and choose a treasure. You chose a fragment of a map...]

[That fragment of the map records the inheritance location of the Skywrath Thunder Emperor, one of the Three Emperors of the Ancient Thunder Palace...]

……

[In the third year, having reached a point where you could no longer advance, you sent a message to the Daluo Heavenly Realm, asking them to ambush and kill the Human Demon Elder. With your previous battle exploits and Liu Ming's full support, you ascended to the position of one of the three great elders...]

In the fourth year, Mandala breaks through to the Supreme Realm of the Upper Realm and aims to unify the Northern Realm. The various top powers in the Northern Realm begin to unite, hoping to jointly resist the Daluo Realm...

In the fifth year, Mandala made an example of someone and killed Liu Tiandao, the master of Xuantian Palace. By then, you had become the first elder of Xuantian Palace, your influence spread throughout the entire Xuantian Palace. With a single call from you, the entire Xuantian Palace defected to the Daluo Heavenly Realm...

[For a time, the Northern Realm was shaken. Daluo Tianyu swallowed up Xuantian Palace without bloodshed, becoming the most powerful force in the Northern Realm...]

In the sixth year, the Daluo Realm's power expanded rapidly, soon unifying the Northern Realm. You were named the most meritorious official by Mandala, and she rewarded you with an extremely powerful Great Perfection Divine Art—Mandala's Sky-Destroying Light...

In the seventh year, you began to practice Mandala Tianming Light in seclusion. One day, remnants of the so-called Nether Palace broke into your retreat and killed you with a single blow...

【you are dead! 】

[This simulation ends——]

【You can choose an item in your future life】

[1. 320,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid]

[2. Six Heavenly Pills]

[Three, Great Perfection Divine Art, Mandala Destroying Sky Light]

"Hiss, what do you want to do?"

Lu Chen touched his chin, looked at the options in the simulator, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
