Chapter 81 Destiny, Back to Earth, Saiyan Invasion

"Old man, where are you looking?" Lin Chuan's voice rang out behind Slag.

At the same time, the crimson penetrating wave he condensed broke through space.

Upon hearing the sound, Slag's heart sank, and his massive body whirled around.

What came into view was a scarlet ball of energy.

"What!!! What is this...?!!!" Slug felt the terrifying destructive power contained in this energy and instinctively crossed his arms to protect his chest.

"boom!!!!!!!!!"

The crimson piercing wave instantly pierced through his arms and body, dealing a devastating blow to Slug.

"Pfft!!" With his body and hands pierced, Slug spat out purple blood, and his aura suddenly weakened.

"My...body...my...power...no!!!" The aged Slaton could not control the loss of his power.

Due to the severity of his injuries, his giant form began to fade, and he gradually returned to his normal form.

Due to his advanced age, after he returned to his normal form, he could only unleash about one-tenth of his former power.

Now, even if Piccolo were to take action, he could probably easily crush him.

Even if it's Son Gohan, he's still enough to give Slug a hard time.

"If it were my younger self... if it were me in my youth... I am not reconciled!!" Slag lay on the ground, filled with resentment.

He hated that his body had aged so much.

If he were younger, let alone this level of injury, even if he had several more holes in his body, his combat power wouldn't necessarily be weakened much.

Moreover, what kind of injury is this?

He will recover in a moment.

Slug struggled to stand up, only to find himself surrounded by Namekian warriors.

Severely injured, he had no one left to rely on.

In this situation, it seems impossible to reverse the situation no matter what.

"I never imagined that I, the mighty ruler of the galaxy, the former emperor... would fall to such a state... Damn it!" Slag was furious and extremely indignant.

Have you resigned yourself to your fate?

Perhaps!

But that's not entirely true!

At least, Slug did not succumb to his inner demons, nor would he realize that his return to Namek was a mistake from the very beginning.

If he had come with good intentions, if he still had a shred of conscience, he would not have attacked his home planet.

But he did it!

He did not come as a Namekian, but as a former cosmic emperor.

As he slowly descended, Lin Chuan arrived in front of Slag. Suddenly, the call of the Grand Elder echoed in his mind.

[Lin Chuan, thank you so much for defeating my child who has fallen into demonic ways. Please bring him to see me.]

Telepathic communication—this was a communication skill of the Namekian race that Lin Chuan had recently learned from the Grand Elder.

I didn't pay attention to it at first, nor did I intend to learn it. But then I thought it was a good method, so I learned it.

This also makes it easier for the Grand Elder to contact him.

"I understand, but I suggest we kill him. It's not that I look down on him, nor that I think he's beyond redemption, but if we give him a chance to recover, then when I leave Namek, none of you will be his match, let alone be able to suppress him." Lin Chuan replied to the Grand Elder through thought.

"I will try to persuade him... but if he remains obstinate, then so be it, as you said." The Grand Elder's voice came, and Lin Chuan did not reply.

The Grand Elder is a man who is somewhat indecisive; he won't give up until he's tried.

……

He strode up to Slug and looked down at him from his elevated position.

"Damn it... Are you here to humiliate me?! Saiyan!!" Slug glared at Lin Chuan with resentment and murderous intent.

It was because of him that he ended up in this predicament.

"I have no interest in humiliating an old man like you. You should be grateful that the Namekian Grand Elder, your father, wanted to see you, which is why you've temporarily saved your life. Otherwise, my attack just now wouldn't have just seriously injured you; it would have killed you without leaving a trace." Lin Chuan's indifferent reply surprised Slug.

His father?!

With his cold gaze fixed on Lin Chuan, Slag tried his best to maintain his composure.

Having already lost, he chose another way to maintain his dignity.

"You're nothing but a Saiyan race wiped out by Frieza! You're just a worthless dog who barely survived. How could an ant like you possibly fathom the power of me?!"

"If I were in my youth, I could crush you with a single hand with your strength!"

Slag's rebuttal was meaningless in Lin Chuan's eyes.

He simply stared at Slug with such indifference, his eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.

With a loud bang, the space itself was filled with a sonic boom.

Not killing Slug doesn't mean you can't keep beating him up.

This guy is too arrogant; I can't stand his self-important attitude.

The powerful slap knocked out two of Slag's teeth.

Meanwhile, Slug, ravaged by this terrifying power, lost consciousness, his eyes rolled back.

"Stubborn to the end," Lin Chuan muttered, then looked away.

The Namekian warriors who witnessed this scene were immediately drenched in sweat, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.

They've always known that Lin Chuan is very strong, but this is a bit too strong... Moreover, the methods of suppression are too blatant.

"It's finally a bit quieter now. Neru, take him to see the Grand Elder," Lin Chuan said to Neru.

Neru was aware of this matter.

"Well, before that..." Neru nodded. He didn't act immediately, but instead looked up at the sky shrouded in dark smoke.

"We can't let that machine continue to release the poisonous fog; we must destroy it," Neru said, gathering immense energy in his hands.

Seeing this, everyone knew what he was planning.

"BOOM!!!" A deafening roar echoed tens of thousands of meters in the sky as energy exploded.

The sky was engulfed in a massive explosion caused by the energy erupted from Neru.

The dazzling light burst forth like fireworks.

The machine that created the Demon World Mist was destroyed, and the darkness that shrouded the surface of Namek quickly dissipated as a result.

Finally, this devastated battlefield remains!

And that enormous spaceship!

This thing could be left for Bulma to study; I believe she would be very interested.

……

All the Namekian warriors were celebrating their victory in this defensive battle.

Only some Namekian warriors who had interacted with Piccolo on a regular basis and had a good relationship with him were secretly saddened.

Neru was naturally one of them.

Among the Namekians, it was a rare occurrence for such a powerful individual to emerge.

But now he has perished in this great war.

Ultimately, no one expected such a thing to happen.

Everyone thought they might die, but no one expected that the Namekian who was now the strongest would be the only one to sacrifice himself.

"Uncle Piccolo..." Gohan's eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan felt nothing, because he had already sensed that Piccolo was not dead.

Piccolo was injured after being knocked away, and he couldn't recover for a while.

After he escaped, Slug had transformed into a giant and fought Lin Chuan.

"Don't worry! That guy's tough as nails, he won't die. If he were taken down in a few moves, he wouldn't be Piccolo." Lin Chuan's words stunned everyone.

Son Gohan looked on incredulously, his expression shifting from sadness to delight. "Really? Uncle Lin Chuan?" he exclaimed.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Look over there," Lin Chuan said, pointing with his hand.

Located in an inconspicuous corner, it drew everyone's attention.

Bick was standing there.

Although he was injured, it was not serious.

Piccolo was indeed alive and unharmed, and Gohan happily flew over to him.

The fact that he thought Beeker was dead spurred his complete transformation.

In the original story, Piccolo died protecting Gohan from Nappa's energy, and Gohan fully awakened.

It should be said that, although it has only been a little over a month, the relationship between Gohan and Piccolo has become very solid.

That kind of family affection is irreplaceable and irreplaceable.

Piccolo survived, much to the delight of all the Namekian warriors.

What about Bick himself?

He felt extremely ashamed of his crushing defeat, so he did not show himself until the battle was over.

When you're that confident, you'll be defeated in just a few rounds.

However, he did indeed benefit greatly from this battle.

Knowing that he could continue to become stronger, he once again saw a higher realm.

……

Most of the soldiers were left behind to clean up the battlefield and guard the spaceship.

The others, along with Naru, escorted Slug to the location of the Grand Elder.

Lin Chuan, Piccolo, and Son Gohan naturally followed along.

After all, although the battle is over, the fate of Slug still needs to be determined.

We arrived at the Grand Elder's residence.

Just to be on the safe side, Lin Chuan personally escorted Slag inside.

Because Lin Chuan was there, and the Grand Elder had personally given the order, everyone had no choice but to wait outside.

The elder was visibly excited to see the child he had never seen since birth.

He even tried his best to get up, but gave up because his body simply couldn't support him.

"This demonic energy is like an abyss... My child... I never thought he would turn out like this..." The Grand Elder felt as if his heart was being torn apart as he looked at Slug, who was still unconscious.

He only wanted Slug to take the Namekian heritage and live on.

Unexpectedly, this led to the creation of a great demon who destroyed countless planetary civilizations.

"As you said, who knows what the future holds? You didn't know back then that things would turn out this way, did you?" Lin Chuan tossed Slag next to the Grand Elder.

Slug, aged and severely injured, was as silent as if he were dead.

The elder felt sorry for him, but he still held onto his original idea.

He did indeed owe the child a debt, but if the child was truly beyond saving, he would not show any mercy.

"Since I created him, it's my turn to end it all!"

The elder reached out a hand, grasped Slug's head, and began to use his abilities to read Slug's memories.

This is him sharing Slag's sins in his own way.

Soon, he saw all of Slag's past.

After being sent away from Namek due to a major catastrophe on Namek, he wandered in space.

Because the target planet was exploded by a meteorite impact, the spaceship's intelligent mode selected Planet Two.

However, Planet Two has been occupied by the demon race...

Therefore, Slug was adopted by the demons from a young age because of his special physique. Moreover, because he had extremely strong combat talent, his strength became even more powerful after being tainted by demonic energy. As he grew up, it goes without saying that Slug not only surpassed the demon leaders of previous generations, but also became one of the best among the demons.

This is the beginning of evil.

Slug's power made him increasingly cruel!

He is a ruthless and merciless super demon king, whose evil is worlds apart from Piccolo's.

After learning about Slug's past and experiences, the Grand Elder finally found peace.

He saw no hope of change.

Especially since Slag, like him, is getting old!

Although Slug still has nearly a hundred years left to live, these last hundred years are like the last ten years of a human's life, from ninety to one hundred years old.

The atmosphere shifted abruptly, and Lin Chuan was taken aback: "You're going to attack directly? You're not planning to acknowledge us?"

"Seeing him is enough! If we were to acknowledge each other, it might cause trouble! He should pay the price for what he did... After I die, I will go to hell and pay for his sins with him."

The elder's words were filled with sorrow.

Lin Chuan could understand.

After all, who would want their child to go down this path?

They might even turn on their own family members in the end.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, then let's do as you plan."

"However, you are you, and he is him. Even if he is your child, he is still a living being. He chose this path on his own, so you can't blame him."

Lin Chuan offered a word of advice.

The Grand Elder said nothing more, but personally took away Slug's last bit of life.

This move shocked Lin Chuan; he hadn't expected the Namekians to have such abilities.

The original description of the Grand Elder is too one-sided.

If he were still young, his strength would probably be far beyond the million-level or tens of millions level.

……

Thus, the Slug incident came to an end.

To put it simply, Slug's arrival was like a giant experience package, not only helping Piccolo and Gohan grow, but also helping Lin Chuan gain a lot of goodwill in the hearts of the Namekians.

After that, Lin Chuan and his group stayed on Namek for more than half a month.

Including the six days spent away from Earth, plus the time spent on this planet, a full month has passed.

The reasons are simple: firstly, the Namekians need help, and secondly, Slug's spaceship needs to be dismantled so that the important components can be packed into the portable capsules. Therefore, Bulma needs enough time.

After all, there are no helpers on this planet, and even if there are intelligent robots to assist, the number they can bring is very limited.

Gohan, on the other hand, was eager to learn and followed Bulma, so he must have learned a lot of new knowledge.

Finally, the third reason is self-cultivation!

Both Bick and Lin Chuan are seeking breakthroughs.

Piccolo's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

He also led some Namekians to improve their strength, especially Nail, whose combat power has reached 100,000 points.

This terrifying progress was naturally aided by the gravity training room.

Piccolo himself, after this period of training, has a combat power of up to 30 points, and has long been accustomed to training under a hundred times the gravity.

His good ideas also inspired Lin Chuan.

Training under heavy loads naturally increases the difficulty of training, and the body will feel the pressure again.

Let's get back to Lin Chuan himself.

For nearly twenty days, he had been training to break through to become a Super Saiyan.

Finally, they even tried to rely on anger to break through.

However, anger without a clear purpose is often useless. Without finding an opportunity, one remains stuck at the most crucial point, unable to make any progress.

In terms of combat power, with the support of the system, it has truly broken through 10 million points, and now has 10,358,850 points.

Today, everything is ready; it is time for them to leave Namek.

One thing worth mentioning is that Dende, who was not brought back to Earth by Goku until later in the original story, will return to Earth with them this time, entrusted by the Elder.

On the surface, he was just visiting, because Dende and Gohan had a good relationship and he wanted to go to Earth to see it.

In reality, isn't it just about connecting the Namekian race with Earth?

In this way, no matter what happens in the future, the other side of the earth and this side will be bound together.

Moreover, if Dandy goes to Earth, he can be groomed as the next Celestial.

Lin Chuan thought a lot about what the Grand Elder had done.

There was indeed some scheming involved, but for him, this matter was not only not harmful, but entirely beneficial.

Even if Dandy doesn't go to Earth now, he will in the future; he will eventually become a god of Earth.

Even though he, as a time traveler, could change any plot, he wouldn't change the plot about Dandy.

Once he arrived on Earth, he was able to upgrade the Dragon Balls on Earth in an instant. Moreover, Dende will upgrade the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the future, making him a truly advanced support character. Most importantly, Dende's healing ability is arguably the best in Generation Z.

And so, the trip to Namek came to an end.

The six days on the spaceship returning to Earth were even more joyful than when we left.

Firstly, Dandy joined the family, and secondly, everyone's relationships improved, so their lives became more harmonious.

Lin Chuan didn't know about other things, but he did know one thing: Piccolo would definitely send Dandy to King Piccolo.

Unbeknownst to him, Bick had changed; the things he thought about and the future he envisioned were now much more distant.

He seemed to understand the elder's meaning, which is why he did not object.

Although Dende will be lonely in the future, Earth cannot exist without Kami or the Dragon Balls.

Piccolo is indeed still young, but Celestial Piccolo is old, and once that old guy dies, he will also disappear.

This is the fate of twins; although they are already different individuals, their origins are the same.

……

Arrive on Earth.

The massive spaceship landed near the research institute of the Shitobulma family.

Having received news of Bulma's return early in the morning, Brief had been waiting for a long time.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Bulma went about her business, handing over her duties to Brief and passing on all the spoils of the trip to her father.

Lin Chuan's first priority was to determine whether the spatial imprint of Namek could be sensed.

The result was satisfactory to him.

Although his aura couldn't actively spread to such a distant distance, under the spatial markings there, he only needed to expend a small amount of energy to teleport there.

Lin Chuan also gave it a try.

Only after confirming that there was no significant loss of energy was he satisfied with the instant teleportation he had obtained; it wasn't a complete disaster.

Otherwise, if it's just instantaneous teleportation on the planet Adela, then the limitations would be too great.

After a period of rest and reorganization.

the next day.

Lin Chuan, Piccolo, and Gohan were together on the second-floor rooftop of the Great Round House.

We just finished lunch, so we're resting here.

In the past, a new round of cultivation would have already begun by now.

However, since they had just returned to Earth, they were also balancing work and rest.

Where is Dandy?

He was here too, of course.

After returning to Earth, Lin Chuan indirectly communicated with Piccolo and thus learned of his intentions.

Lin Chuan would not stop Bick from having his idea.

……

that's it.

Time flies, the sun and the moon flies.

Nearly nine months have passed since we returned to Earth from Namek.

During these nine months, which felt both long and short, the Earth remained in a state of peace as always.

In such peaceful times, everything is so wonderful.

However, the invaders are about to attack.

This peace is like the calm before the storm.

In preparation for the impending crisis, the Z warriors pushed themselves to become stronger.

That is today.

In the pitch-black universe, two spaceships streaked past, traversing space at speeds far exceeding those of light.

The target of these two spaceships is Earth!

Sitting in the spaceship were Vegeta and Nappa, who had traveled billions of miles to invade Earth.

They have no idea that they came to Earth to be their victims.

As the distance closed, the spaceship switched from high-speed mode to low-speed cruising.

Awakened by the spaceship, Vegeta and Nappa opened their eyes one after the other.

"Are we almost there?"

"Hmph! A long year has finally come to an end. Let's hope this time it won't disappoint us, Vegeta."

……

On Earth.

Western capital.

Near the research institute at Bulma's family estate.

An enormous round building stands here.

This is a building that Bulma constructed a few months ago. It is a super-large gravity training room built to provide Lin Chuan with a better training environment.

The interior of the building was now filled with bright red light.

Lin Chuan is currently undergoing supergravity training here.

Day after day, month after month.

The gravity reading displayed above the central control room reached an astonishing 300G!

300 times the Earth's gravity!

It seems ordinary, just like the training Vegeta experienced in the original story.

However, Lin Chuan did not force himself to undergo the 300 times gravity training; he could completely withstand it.

In addition, Lin Chuan would put on weights and exert pressure, so in just a few months, Lin Chuan's physical strength was raised to a new level.

Not only did he forge an indestructible body of steel, but his mastery of power and application of qi also reached the pinnacle.

He is no longer the same as before, and with the system's ability to increase his combat power by 1 per second, his combat power has now exceeded 35 million points! It has reached 35,545,500 points.

Their normal combat capability has reached this level.

Let alone Super Saiyan!

If he were to transform into a Super Saiyan at this moment, a mere 50-fold increase would amount to nearly 18 billion in power!

Let alone the current cosmic emperor, even if the androids were to resurrect in a few years, whether it's Android 17 or Android 18, or even both of them together, he could easily deal with them and even defeat them.

No one can rival him except for Cell after his evolution.

These nine months have been a true transformation.

It's also a new beginning.

After cultivating to a certain point, Lin Chuan suddenly stopped.

He walked to the central control room and pressed the red button.

A muffled thud was heard.

With a deafening roar, the surrounding red light faded away completely.

The 300 times gravity environment returned to the standard of Earth's gravity, and Lin Chuan felt the pressure on his body disappear.

After finishing this round of gravity training, Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the gravity training room.

Instead of going straight back, he came to the temporary rest room here, took a shower, changed into a simple martial arts outfit, and then walked out of the large round house.

Just as they were about to return to the large round house to have lunch and fill their stomachs, suddenly, they sensed two unfamiliar auras.

Although it was nothing special to him now, it carried an evil aura.

He was immediately made to raise his head and look up at the sky.

"I see. It's about time... They've finally arrived? Vegeta and Nappa."

"It's really a waste of your time to come all this way to be killed."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but smile; he had truly been waiting for a long time.

During this time, he would dream about the scene where Vegeta and Nappa were completely crushed when they arrived on Earth.

"At this speed and over this distance, it shouldn't take more than half an hour to reach Earth." Muttering to himself, Lin Chuan took to the air and flew towards the Great Round House.

Although Vegeta and Nappa were about to arrive, that couldn't stop him from going to eat.

……

at the same time.

Located on a deserted island in the south.

Piccolo and Gohan are undergoing outdoor combat training.

During this time, although Gohan wasn't training with Piccolo every single moment, he would set aside time each day to see Piccolo or Lin Chuan.

This kid is strong enough, with a combat power of 25 points, so traveling back and forth every day is no problem for him.

Unlike in the original story, due to insufficient strength, he could only survive in the wilderness under Piccolo's tutelage.

At this moment, Gohan used all his skills to attack Piccolo, but Piccolo easily deflected Gohan's attacks and used this opportunity to teach Gohan more fighting techniques and improve his fighting experience.

Just as they were locked in fierce combat, they suddenly sensed two powerful auras approaching Earth.

The two simultaneously distanced themselves, stopped fighting, and looked up at the sky.

"Hmph! Looks like those two Saiyans... After waiting for so long, they've finally arrived!" Piccolo revealed a wicked smile.

He is no longer the same Bick he once was.

Everything he's experienced this past year has made him so powerful that even he himself couldn't have imagined it.

If he had sensed these two energies a year ago, he would have been on high alert and dared not be careless.

But now, the gap is too big.

These two auras are not even comparable to those of the demon leaders under Slag's command more than nine months ago.

"Their aura... is so weak." Gohan's straightforward words revealed his opinion of Nappa and Vegeta.

So weak, so weak that he couldn't even muster any interest.

By this time, Son Gohan had undergone a complete transformation.

Especially after the ordeal of the historical Ragnarok, he became a true warrior.

"Even if the opponent is weaker than us, never underestimate any enemy! Often, the seemingly least threatening are the most deadly." Piccolo, adopting the demeanor of a strict teacher, admonished Gohan.

Son Gohan is still young, and he doesn't want the child to underestimate his opponents or become arrogant because of his strength.

That would be detrimental to him in every way.

"I understand, Uncle Piccolo." Gohan nodded repeatedly.

Obedience is Gohan's standard skill.

Even as his strength continues to improve, he will not become arrogant.

……

Above the Temple of the Gods.

Since Bick brought Dandy here nine months ago, Dandy has been living here for a long time.

Of course, Dende is not bound by any restrictions; he can travel to Earth, or go find Gohan, Piccolo, Lin Chuan, and Bulma...

Piccolo, the god of the heavens, was grooming Dende as his successor from the bottom of his heart.

Little did he know that Lin Chuanbi and his group would bring back a young member of their tribe from Namek after their trip there.

Most importantly, this child was pure and innocent, without a trace of evil intent.

This is simply the perfect candidate to become the next god!

He originally intended for Goku's son, Gohan, to inherit the position of Kami, but Dende's appearance completely changed his mind.

On this planet, no one is more suitable to be trained than Dandy.

Most importantly, they are all Namekians, which is extremely special to Earth.

At this moment, Piccolo, along with Dende and a group of Z Fighters, stood at the edge of the platform, looking up at the cosmos.

For no other reason than that, as a god, he had already sensed that the enemy invading Earth was very close at hand.

"I had calculated the time in advance, but I still made a mistake... I wonder if Goku and his older brother have finished their training yet..." Piccolo's face was extremely ugly.

The gods of the old era are relegated to the bottom of the hierarchy in this new era.

"Having undergone a year of cultivation at the Temple of the Gods, you are no longer the same as before."

"Today is the day to show the results of your cultivation."
