"You know me?!"
Zeru frowned and looked at Zeno as he spoke.
Seeing Zeru's unusual expression, Zeno seemed to realize something. He simply smiled, stepped back, waved at everyone, and said, "In that case, I'll head off first. Bye-bye!"
"Thank you for your visit, Lord Zeno!"
Beerus and Champa hurriedly bowed.
Whoosh!
Zeno and his two attendants turned into streaks of light and vanished instantly.
As soon as Zeno left, everyone present let out a long breath of relief.
"Zeru, that Lord Zeno… seems to know you!"
Goku looked at Zeru with curiosity and said, "Also, as the ruler of all twelve universes, I didn't expect his personality to be so easygoing!"
In Goku's eyes, Beerus already had a decent temperament, but compared to Zeno, Beerus seemed downright irritable.
"Zeno… easygoing?"
Beerus and Champa exchanged glances, the corners of their mouths twitching. If Zeno could be considered easygoing, then there wouldn't be a single short-tempered person left in the entire multiverse.
"Goku, that's not quite right."
Whis smiled and explained, "There were originally eighteen universes in existence."
"Eighteen? Then what about the other six?"
Goku asked blankly.
"They were erased by Lord Zeno."
Vados replied with a gentle smile.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"As expected of the supreme ruler… In that case, we definitely can't make him angry. But honestly, I still think Lord Zeno seems pretty friendly! Hahaha…"
Goku scratched his head and laughed.
Zeru shook his head slightly. That guy was truly carefree.
But his own thoughts were far from relaxed.
Why did Zeno recognize him?
Was it because of his Erase ability…? Had Zeno noticed him because of that?
Zeru frowned slightly, then shook his head again. There was no point overthinking it. When the time came, everything would reveal itself naturally.
"In that case, I'll head off as well."
Zeru waved at the others, placed two fingers on his forehead, and vanished instantly. He planned to return to the GT timeline to take a look.
"Hm?!"
A dizzying sensation hit him.
But when Zeru opened his eyes, he realized—
He was not in the Dragon Ball GT timeline.
Instead, he was inside a pitch-black tunnel.
"What is this?"
Zeru began walking, but no matter how far he went, the darkness didn't end.
"System, what's going on?"
"Host, you have encountered temporal turbulence and entered a certain point in the Dragon Ball world's timeline."
"What?! Temporal turbulence?!"
Zeru froze. He had traveled through time many times before, but this was the first time something like this had happened.
While speaking with the system, he finally stepped out of the tunnel.
What appeared before him was a vast, desolate land.
"Hm?!"
Zeru scanned his surroundings, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because in his sight—
There was a man with a tail.
A Saiyan.
"System… that guy is a Saiyan, right? What era is this?"
"Host, you are currently in the ancient era of the Dragon Ball world."
"…What?!"
Zeru was stunned.
"The ancient era?! How did I end up here?!"
"Temporal turbulence."
"I see…"
Zeru took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the ancient Saiyan.
"One more question—this is the Dragon Ball Super timeline, right?"
"Yes."
"Got it."
Zeru nodded.
"Hey!"
The ancient Saiyan had already noticed him and waved.
Zeru waved back, and the two approached each other.
"What planet is this?" Zeru asked.
"This is Planet Sadala. You're a Saiyan too, right? But… you don't look like you're from our planet."
The Saiyan looked at Zeru in surprise.
"Planet Sadala… Universe 6?"
Zeru's his gaze sharpened. He recalled that in his previous life, there had been theories that the Saiyans of Universe 7 originally came from Universe 6.
Meaning—
Planet Sadala was the true birthplace of the Saiyan race.
And now, he was standing on that very origin planet.
Zeru glanced at the Saiyan before him. His name was Nash, only twenty years old, yet he already possessed a Power level of fifty billion thanks to his ancient Saiyan bloodline.
"So in this ancient era… Saiyans were actually a powerful race?"
Zeru murmured, then asked, "Do you know someone named Yamoshi?"
"Yamoshi?"
Nash paused, then shook his head.
"I've never heard that name… wait… it sounds familiar."
"Oh?"
Zeru raised a brow.
"The elders once said that in the future, Planet Sadala would face a great disaster. And during that time, a man named Yamoshi would appear and save the planet."
"…!"
Zeru froze.
Boom!
At that moment, a massive explosion echoed across the sky.
"What the—?!"
Zeru looked up instinctively and saw a small spaceship descending.
A spaceship… in the ancient era?
"That's bad! It's a ship from the Frost Demon clan!"
Nash's expression changed drastically.
Zeru scratched his head, blinking.
Something felt… off.
A strange realization began forming in his mind.
Could it be—
He would save Planet Sadala…
And become the legendary figure—
The ancestor of Saiyans… Yamoshi?!
"Notification"
"System selection activated!"
"Option 1: Save Planet Sadala from destruction. Reward: +1 Jing base battle power, +2% God Domain progress, +5% attribute reduction effect, +5% Ultra Instinct (Omen)."
"Option 2: Ignore the disaster of Planet Sadala. Reward: +2 Jing base battle power."
Zeru stood there in silence for a moment.
Then he sighed.
As expected—
Just like he had guessed.
He might really be that legendary man.
