Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

“Dragon Realm?” Lin Chen said in surprise.

This is Zuno’s Planet in Universe 7.

After dealing with the divine dragons of two planets, Lin Chen’s third stop was here.

His goal was to find out the whereabouts of the Dragon God Zalama.

As one of the most mysterious figures in Universe 7, Zuno, as expected, quickly confirmed Zalama’s location for Lin Chen.

Dragon Realm!

The homeland of all divine dragons, the world created by the Dragon God Zalama.

This was where Zalama was currently located.

“Zuno, are you sure? Why would Zalama return to the Dragon Realm?”

Zuno sat upright in front of Lin Chen, looking very serious. “I am 100% sure!”

“83 hours, 23 minutes, and 35 seconds ago in Universe 7 time, Mr. Popo used berserked divine power, taking the Dragon God Zalama away from the Dark Demon Realm and severely injuring him at the cost of his life.”

Mr. Popo is dead?

Although he had already guessed this, hearing Zuno say it out loud, Lin Chen couldn’t help but close his eyes.

Zuno continued, “Mr. Popo’s intention should have been to bring Zalama back to the Dragon Realm, and then use the power of the Dragon Realm to perish together with him.”

“Mr. Popo was the guardian of Zalama-sama’s seal. In Zalama-sama’s absence, he was also the guardian of the Dragon Realm, able to use its power.”

“But Mr. Popo ultimately failed. Before he could fully detonate the power of the Dragon Realm, his body couldn’t hold on anymore, so in the end, Zalama was only severely injured, but not seriously harmed.”

Having confirmed the outcome of the battle between Zalama and Mr. Popo, Lin Chen asked his second question.

“What about the divine dragons? Why did Zalama have the divine dragons from various timelines attack humans and cause all the timelines to collide?”

Zuno hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Mr. Lin Chen, it may sound disrespectful to say this, but Zalama-sama might have already gone mad.”

“Gone mad?”

“You should know that Namekians can be tempted by evil and fall into the path of demons. Dragon balls can also be tainted by negative energy. So… as the origin of the Namekians and all dragon balls, Zalama-sama is no different.”

“During his eons of being sealed, Zalama-sama has completely changed. If you thought his clone was evil before, the real Zalama-sama is a thousand times more evil than his clone!”

“Now, to get revenge on Zeno, Zalama-sama doesn’t care about anything anymore. Having the divine dragons attack is just his way of getting back at you all. And having Super Shenron drive the collision of timelines is Zalama’s way of getting back at Zeno!”

“Revenge? Just for revenge?”

Lin Chen frowned deeply, his fists clenched instinctively.

He couldn’t believe that the once Dragon God, Zalama would want to destroy the entire world for such a simple reason.

Zuno sighed and said in an almost pleading tone to Lin Chen, “Mr. Lin Chen, because of Mr. Popo’s sacrifice, now is when Zalama-sama is at his weakest. Unless Zalama attacks first, Zeno-sama and the Grand Priest-sama cannot and will not take action against him. So, the only one who can save the world is you! Please go to the Dragon Realm and stop Zalama-sama!”

“There are only 10 hours, 9 minutes, and 4 seconds left until Zalama-sama fully recovers…”

“I understand.”

Without hesitation, Lin Chen stood up and bid farewell.

“Thank you for your help, Mr. Zuno. I will do my best.”

…

As Lin Chen bid farewell to Zuno.

Timeline 14, inside Zeno’s Palace.

The atmosphere was tense.

The Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, and Angels of twelve timelines were standing on the side, gazing ahead.

In front of them, seated on the throne, was the Zeno of Timeline 14.

The Zeno from another timeline had already left at some unknown point.

Now, in front of everyone, was a screen-like scene showing Lin Chen and Zuno’s conversation.

“Hey, Grand Priest, do you think Lin Chen can really defeat Zalama?”

“No one can say for sure, Zeno-sama. We’ll just have to wait and see.” The Grand Priest smiled. The crisis outside didn’t seem to affect him at all. It was as if they were just watching a movie, and the impending world-destroying crisis was just fiction.

This left the Gods of Destruction and Kais confused.

“Hey, Whis, are we really just going to sit here and do nothing?” Beerus asked in a low voice.

Whis replied, “Yes, Beerus-sama. You heard the Grand Priest. Our job today is to accompany Zeno-sama.”

“But can’t you see? Our timeline is heading toward another! A timeline collision will affect us even if we hide in Zeno’s Palace! What is Zeno-sama thinking?!”

Beerus was furious.

If he didn’t know that he could be instantly killed by Zeno if he acted out, he might have already called on the other Gods of Destruction to come up with a plan to save the world.

Clearly, they had the power and possibly the means to deal with the Super Shenron affecting the timelines, but they were just sitting here doing nothing. He couldn’t understand it.

Whis felt the same. He couldn’t understand what Zeno and the Grand Priest were planning this time.

…

In the Time Nest, after temporarily resolving the crisis on Earth and Planet Vegeta and confirming Zalama’s whereabouts from Zuno, Lin Chen and the others returned to the Time Nest, preparing to head to the Dragon Realm.

Although they knew that their strength was a thousand times weaker than Zalama’s, no one was willing to just sit and wait for death.

However, just as they were about to storm into the Dragon Realm, Lin Chen and his group received bad news from Chronoa.

“What? We can’t go to the Dragon Realm?”

“Why can’t we go? Chronoa-sama, Brother Lin Chen said he has been to the Dragon Realm before!” Goku asked.

Chronoa rolled her eyes.

“You’re making it out to be too easy to get to Dragon Realm! The Dragon Realm is a world created by Zalama-sama, independent of all timelines! No one can enter except those invited by the Dragon God!”

“But Brother Lin Chen…”

“I was taken into the Dragon Realm by Mr. Popo…”

Lin Chen suddenly realized. When he entered the Dragon Realm back then, it was Mr. Popo who intervened and summoned the divine dragon to guide him in.

But now that Mr. Popo is dead, doesn’t that mean they have no way to enter the Dragon Realm?
