The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 87: Journey to the Gu World, the Road to a Million Battle Master!

[In the sixth year, you wandered in the void...]

[In the seventh year, you wandered in the void...]

In the eighth year, you encountered a giant beast roaming the void. Sensing its terrifying aura, you ran away...

……

[In the 30th year, you finally encountered a lower plane, but you despairingly discovered that even at your peak, you seemed unable to break through the plane wall of this plane...]

In the thirty-first year, you decided to give it a try. Although your spiritual power was completely gone, your physical cultivation remained. You burned your physical essence and punched the wall of the plane...

In the thirty-second year, you, now only a skeleton, still wander outside this lower plane. Despair wells in your heart, and you decide to write a suicide note, recording everything you've learned in this life...

In the thirty-third year, you have engraved all you have learned throughout your life onto your skeleton. Your spirit has weakened to the point where you are left with only the cultivation of the Three Days Realm. You are ready to self-destruct...

In the thirty-fourth year, you self-destructed your spirit, but due to your weakness, the explosion was incomplete, leaving only a remnant of your soul. Suddenly, you discovered that you, like the surrounding meteorites, had been sucked into the lower plane...

[You suddenly realize that you have become so weak...]

[In the thirty-fifth year, you were carried by a meteorite and fell from the sky, landing in this vast world...]

In the thirty-sixth year, with only a wisp of your soul left, you felt a warm power nourishing your soul, and you began to consciously absorb this power...

[Thirty-seventh, you are still absorbing...]

……

[In the fortieth year, your remaining soul gradually showed signs of awakening...]

In the forty-first year, you finally awaken from your deep sleep, but you discover that your memory is already fragmented, and you can only vaguely recall some past events in the universe...

[In the forty-second year, you discovered that you were hiding in a ring that could warm the soul, and this ring was worn by a young man...]

In the forty-third year, through the conversations between this young man and others, you finally learned the general situation of this lower plane. This plane is called the Gu Realm. The cultivation schools there are similar to those of the Spirit Insect Masters in the Great Thousand World. Here, they are called Gu Masters. They are divided into five regions: Zhongzhou, Beiyuan, Nanjiang, Ximo, and Donghai.

[In the five realms of the Gu Realm, each realm has dozens of Gu Masters claiming to be at the Venerable level. You were fortunate enough to meet one, and you discovered that he was actually a powerful being at the Supreme level. Although he was only comparable to a First-Rank Supreme, you were still greatly shocked...]

[In the forty-fourth year, due to your conscious absorption of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, this young man's cultivation speed also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he soon became a second-level Gu Master.]

In the forty-fifth year, a high-spirited young man participated in the sect trial of Beiquan Pavilion, a top sect in Southern Xinjiang. However, due to the poor aptitude tested, he was rejected by Beiquan Pavilion...

[In the forty-sixth year, your strength successfully recovered to a level comparable to that of your physical body, and the young man successfully advanced to become a third-level Gu Master. After observing him, you felt that he had good character, so you decided to accept him as your disciple...]

In the forty-seventh year, you revealed your identity and wanted to take the young man as your apprentice, but the young man said he wanted to take you as his soul slave. From him, you learned that the young man had long been aware of your existence, but in his previous life he was a venerable master of the Gu Realm and did not care about your identity as a remnant soul. If you accept him as your master, when he recovers his cultivation, he will rebuild a physical body for you...

You almost laughed out of anger, completely giving up on taking the young man as your disciple and simply took over his body. The young man had no power to resist, and you succeeded...

In the forty-eighth year, you sorted through the memories of the young man's remnant soul and discovered that this person was indeed the reincarnation of a Gu Realm Venerable, but only a First-Rank Supreme, far inferior to your previous life...

In the forty-ninth year, your residual soul recovered to the point where it was difficult for the spirit to recover, unable to improve any further. You searched through the memories of the body you possessed and found a way to completely restore your soul. That was to find the Yunshen Lotus, ranked seventh on the Gu World's Strange Insects List...

[In the fiftieth year, in order to conceal your identity, you began to learn the Gu worm system of this world, and you soon became a fifth-rank Gu Master...]

In the fifty-first year, you discovered that to become the supreme being of the Gu world, you needed to cultivate a natal Gu. You traveled to southern Xinjiang and finally chose the Thunder Blade Wing Gu, ranked twenty-seventh on the list of strange insects, as your natal Gu...

In the fifty-second year, you overcame the thunder tribulation and achieved the supreme realm in the Gu Realm. At the moment you achieved the status of Gu Realm Venerable, you seemed to sense the aura of the Plane Embryo...

[You are deeply shocked, as if you have found a path to the sky...]

In the fifty-third year, you began to delve into the cultivation techniques of the Gu Realm, ultimately developing a Blood Burning Technique that could rapidly achieve supremacy by consuming your lifespan and blood essence...

In the fifty-fourth year, you transformed yourself into a black-clad figure and spread the Burning Blood Technique throughout southern Xinjiang. Countless independent cultivators and evil sects quickly rose to prominence. You were revered as a role model by the demonic sects, and they respectfully called you the Blood Sea Ancestor...

[In the fifty-fifth year, countless righteous sects in Southern Xinjiang united to encircle and suppress you, but you remained undaunted and killed thirteen righteous Gu Masters in a row. The righteous Gu Masters in Southern Xinjiang were terrified and fled...]

In the fifty-sixth year, you, having stopped at the Fourth Rank Supreme, gathered all the Gu Zuns who practiced the Blood Burning Technique to search for the Yun Shen Lotus. You established the Blood Sea Pavilion and began to plunder the resources of the entire Southern Border for you...

In the fifty-seventh year, you discovered the whereabouts of the Yun Shen Lotus. Legend has it that a Yun Shen Lotus is found within the remains of the Tianyuan Great Venerable. In the Gu Realm, only those who have reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, who at one point in time suppressed the five realms and remained unrivaled in the world, are worthy of the title of Great Venerable! You vaguely sensed that this was a conspiracy, but with your soul incomplete and unable to advance, you had no choice but to walk into this trap.

In the fifty-eighth year, you began to review your experiences and ponder ways to increase your combat power in a short period of time. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck you, and a technique called the Heart of Battle Formation emerged in your mind...

[You look at this battle formation master's inheritance, and inspiration wells up in your mind. Everything you learned in the Gu world flashes through your mind one by one, and you fall into an unprecedented state of enlightenment...]

In the fifty-ninth year, you combined the art of battle formations with the art of insect control, creating an unprecedented art of controlling insects as soldiers. You summoned thirty thousand Thunder Blade Wing Gu. Because you were in tune with your natal Gu, the Thunder Blade Wing Gu King, you instantly controlled these thirty thousand Thunder Blade Wing Gu. You condensed the spirit of battle will—the Thunder Blade.

In the sixtieth year, you leveraged the resources of the Blood Sea Pavilion to cultivate a large number of Thunder Blade Wing Gu. In a short period of time, the number of Thunder Blade Wing Gu reached fifty thousand. You achieved the status of a Ten Thousand Pattern Battle Formation Master, and you had a vague feeling that this was the limit of your control.

In the sixty-first year, you traveled to the ruins of Tianyuan Dazun and began searching for the Yunshen Lotus. Within the ruins, you were ambushed and trapped within a large formation.

[At that moment, almost all the Gu Zuns in Southern Xinjiang came out in droves, including the righteous, the demonic, and the independent cultivators, and even the Gu Zuns from the Blood Sea Pavilion came to surround and kill you.]

You shook your head helplessly, summoned 50,000 Thunder Blade Wing Gu, sacrificed your blood to the will to fight, and slashed with a blow comparable to that of an eighth-grade supreme being, beheading dozens of Gu Lords. In this era when no great lords appear, you, a battle formation master of the ten thousand pattern level, are invincible!

In the sixty-second year, you successfully found the Soul-Yun Lotus in the ruins of Tianyuan Dazun. This Gu insect, ranked seventh on the list of strange insects, was truly miraculous. Almost the moment your soul sat on the Soul-Yun Lotus, it began to rapidly recover...

In the sixty-third year, your soul was restored, and you regained the status of a fifth-grade supreme being. You even advanced a step further, reaching the sixth-grade supreme being...

In the sixty-fourth year, having become a 50,000-pattern battle formation master, you began plundering the entire Gu world for resources. During this time, you encountered the Phoenix Insect, ranked fifth on the list of strange insects. This insect is said to have the power to help people achieve nirvana, and can bring a person back to life with only a trace of remaining soul.

[But this insect is extremely proud. It will only eat bamboo joints, only roost on sycamore trees, and will only serve a kind master. At the moment you are about to catch it, it unexpectedly commits suicide. You are filled with regret...]

……

[In the seventieth year, with the help of the entire Gu world's resources, your cultivation reached the ninth-grade supreme perfection. The number of Thunder Blade Wing Gu you controlled reached a million, making you a million-pattern-level battle formation master. You are known as the ninth great master of the Gu world, the Thunder Great Master.]

In the seventy-first year, you summoned all fifth-rank Gu Masters who were practicing the Burning Blood Method and on the verge of a breakthrough to gather in Southern Xinjiang. In an instant, tens of thousands of Gu Masters broke through simultaneously, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The Plane Embryo, unable to endure such a terrifying loss of energy, finally appeared before you!

[You grab it and refine it instantly!]

In the seventy-second year, you broke through to the Earth Supreme Realm, feeling consummated. You recorded all you had learned in a jade slip, titled "The Heart Sutra of Controlling Insects." After leaving behind a legacy in this lower plane, you ascended.

In the hundredth year, you finally returned to the Great Thousand World. After some inquiries, you discovered that the evil tribe from outside the domain had been defeated, and the Great Thousand World had gained two powerful masters at the level of the Lord: the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor...

[This simulation ends——]

【You can choose an item in your future life】

[1. Yun Shen Lotus]

[2. "Heart Sutra for Controlling Insects"]

[Three, Thunder Blade Wing Gu King]

"In the Gu Realm... there are dozens of supreme masters in one domain, and at least hundreds in the five domains. This is comparable to the peak period of the Dou Qi Continent."

"It looks like it's at least a mid-level lower plane."

Lu Chen looked at the simulation results and muttered to himself.

Although there are countless lower planes in the universe, different lower planes are also divided into different levels according to the different energy concentrations they contain.

For example, a lower plane like the White Dragon Plane, which can give birth to a powerful earth supreme-level warrior, can be regarded as the best among the lower planes and can be regarded as a high-level lower plane.

As for the Gu Realm, Douqi Continent, and Tianxuan Continent, which are continents that can give birth to supreme strongmen, they can probably be ranked in the middle among all the lower planes.

As for the continent that cannot even give birth to the supreme realm, it is naturally considered the lowest level lower plane.

"A combination of Gu Dao and the Dao of Battle Formations, the Insect Control Heart Sutra?"

Looking at the options given in the simulator, Lu Chen made up his mind.
