In the depths of space, Lin Xuan was speeding toward Namek.
Suddenly, his figure came to an abrupt halt, and a strange expression soon appeared on his face.
Just moments ago, he had unexpectedly received a telepathic message from the North Kai. This surprised him greatly; he hadn't expected the North Kai to initiate contact.
However, after hearing what the North Kai had to say, he was left feeling rather amused and exasperated.
It turned out the North Kai's message was essentially relaying a request from Son Goku: to use the Dragon Balls on Namek to resurrect him, as Piccolo had committed suicide, rendering Earth's Dragon Balls currently unusable.
Piccolo committed suicide?
And it was because he had pointed Goku toward the North Kai, leading to a massive power boost, that Piccolo did it?
Lin Xuan was completely dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? Who would have thought Piccolo could be such a stubborn fool?
After briefly exchanging a few more words with the North Kai, Lin Xuan quickly ended the communication.
Before signing off, however, the North Kai couldn't resist inviting Lin Xuan to visit his planet sometime, as he was immensely intrigued by him.
Naturally, Lin Xuan didn't refuse.
He had long held considerable interest in this North Kai with his penchant for bad jokes, especially regarding his perception ability that seemed to cover nearly the entire galaxy.
If Lin Xuan could learn such a skill, the potential reach of his future live streams would expand dramatically!
Just imagine broadcasting directly into the minds of all intelligent life across the galaxy—accumulating prestige points would become child's play!
Soon, Lin Xuan pushed his speed to the limit, transforming into a streak of light that tore through space and entered Namek's atmosphere.
Present-day Namek, after the fierce battles it had endured, was scarred and devastated in many areas.
Disasters like magma flows, violent storms, and tsunamis raged incessantly, painting a picture akin to the end of the world. Fortunately, thanks to the Grand Elder's foresight and arrangements, the people of Namek had been evacuated in advance, and no one was harmed by the calamities.
When Lin Xuan returned to the village, cheers erupted from everyone present.
They had won this battle!
The Grand Elder rose and approached Lin Xuan, offering a respectful bow. "President Lin Xuan, thank you for your aid in defending Namek."
At this moment, he felt profoundly grateful for the decision he had made years ago.
If he hadn't treated Lin Xuan and his companions kindly back then, forging a bond of goodwill, Namek would likely have been utterly destroyed today.
The other Namekians also bowed in gratitude. By nature, Namekians were kind-hearted, and their thanks to those who had helped them came from the depths of their hearts.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled and waved a hand dismissively. "There's no need for such formality, Grand Elder. I promised you earlier that I would protect Namek. You, in turn, agreed to my request. I was merely fulfilling my promise."
"By the way," Lin Xuan added with a smile, "I need to borrow your Dragon Balls once more."
The Grand Elder nodded and immediately began delegating tasks to handle the aftermath.
The damage Namek had suffered was severe, and they needed to act swiftly to restore their planet; otherwise, greater troubles might arise.
Under Nail's direction, the Namekians quickly sprang into action. Some began the work of restoration, while others set out to search for the Dragon Balls scattered across the planet.
Before long, all seven Dragon Balls had been gathered.
Additionally, when Nail returned, he was carrying a figure in his grasp—none other than Vegeta!
Judging by Vegeta's injuries, he looked quite battered, likely having been thoroughly disciplined by Nail earlier and knocked unconscious.
*Thud!*
With a flick of his wrist, Nail tossed the bound Vegeta onto the ground, his face scraping unceremoniously against the dirt.
"While searching for the Dragon Balls, I found this guy secretly gathering most of them," Nail explained. "Judging by his attire, he's probably one of Frieza's men as well, so I captured him."
Lin Xuan observed Vegeta with keen interest, a smile playing on his lips as he regarded this future powerhouse.
Before Lin Xuan could speak, Vegeta, who had been staring intently at him, demanded, "Who are you? How can you transform into a Super Saiyan? Are you a Saiyan too?"
...When he had seen the live stream earlier, he had been utterly shocked.
He never imagined the legend his father once told him was actually true—Super Saiyans really existed.
Even more astonishing was that he had witnessed one with his own eyes. Alongside his shock, an urgent desire to ask Lin Xuan this very question had arisen. Yet, upon seeing Lin Xuan in person, his confusion only deepened.
For some reason, when he looked at Lin Xuan, he couldn't see through him at all. Yet, he had a persistent feeling that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be of the same race.
Of course, this was just a feeling; he couldn't be certain.
At that moment, Lin Xuan gave him a calm smile and said, "Guess?"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta nearly choked on his own anger. Guess what? If I could guess, would I be asking you?
Lin Xuan paid him no further mind. Instead, he gathered the Dragon Balls and soon summoned the dragon god Porunga once more.
"Well, we meet again!" Lin Xuan greeted Porunga with a smile.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Porunga couldn't help but shudder, exclaiming in surprise, "Why is it you again?!"
