"Boom!"
"Rumble Rumble!"
On the Lookout, everyone was deep in training. Even Bulla and Pan were no exception.
Especially Pan, through arduous training, she managed to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation, becoming the first female Super Saiyan in history. This result thrilled not only Pan herself but also Son Gohan, Goten, and Trunks.
Even Bulla was infected by the enthusiasm and became motivated to push herself harder.
Under such circumstances, the training atmosphere became significantly more intense.
And compared to the younger generation, the progress of Son Goku and Vegeta was even more remarkable.
After decades of training, both had already reached the level of true martial arts masters. The training of God Ki, which was extremely challenging and hard to grasp for most, was now underway.
But for Son Goku and Vegeta…
After Jiang Chen infused them with God Ki, both began progressing steadily along the right path.
Although truly mastering God Ki would still take some time… At their current pace, it wouldn't take long at all.
However, just as everyone was immersed in their training… A sudden emergency occurred.
"Something's wrong! Goku San! Vegeta San!" Dende's panicked voice rang out.
"What's going on, Dende?" Hearing Dende's shout, everyone immediately paused. Son Goku was the first to speak up.
"Goku San, the Black Star Dragon Balls stored at the Lookout… seem to have disappeared!" Dende's expression was filled with alarm as he spoke.
He knew very clearly that if the Black Star Dragon Balls weren't gathered within a year, Earth would be destroyed. But during a recent inspection of the Lookout, he had discovered that the Black Star Dragon Balls had simply vanished.
That discovery had completely shaken him.
"What's going on? Didn't we already use Shenron to wish them back?" Goku asked with a confused look on his face.
Although Baby's earlier wish had scattered the Black Star Dragon Balls across the universe again, Goku had, on Jiang Chen's advice, traveled to Namek and used the Namekian Dragon Balls to gather all seven Black Star Dragon Balls back.
But now, somehow… they had disappeared again.
"Dende, do you know when the Black Star Dragon Balls went missing?" Son Gohan also asked anxiously.
Everyone's faces showed signs of concern.
"I don't know!" Dende shook his head.
"This is bad…" Hearing this, everyone grew even more nervous.
If they didn't know when they had vanished… It meant the Dragon Balls might have disappeared right after being brought back to the Lookout, and several months had already passed since then.
Even if they wanted to re-gather them now, it wouldn't be so easy.
"Don't worry, Dende. I'll go to Namek again!" Son Goku quickly spoke up.
"No need to panic. Let me check first." Jiang Chen frowned, then raised his right hand.
"Whoosh!"
A phantom-like wave surged, and a mystical, illusory book appeared in his hand.
The book's pages quickly flipped open. One by one, images began appearing before his eyes. They showed scenes from a few months ago, Before everyone had even arrived at the Lookout.
At that moment, a group of people appeared at the Lookout's location.
When Jiang Chen saw this group, his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Well, well. Those guys again."
Jiang Chen hadn't expected that even in the GT timeline, the storyline had undergone restoration, and after he had altered Earth's original fate of destruction, the will of the GT world had once again been pulled back to its origin through those same individuals' interference.
"It's them again!"
"Damn it!"
"Bastards!"
Son Goku couldn't help but shout, and even the other Z Fighters wore expressions of anger on their faces.
"I'm going to Namek first. The Dragon Balls over there should still be usable!" Goku spoke up again.
"Goku, I'm afraid that won't work. Even if we retrieve them again, the Dragon Balls will probably disappear once more. Earth is most likely doomed to be destroyed! It's better to find a way to evacuate Earth's humans first, and then restore Earth later using the Dragon Balls!" Jiang Chen pondered briefly before speaking.
"This…" Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Goku and Vegeta both frowned.
"Aspara San, is what you said true?" Son Gohan couldn't help but ask.
As all eyes turned to him, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"But how can we evacuate so many people from Earth?" Goten asked anxiously.
"That's simple, we can do it using the power of the Dragon Balls! The Namekian Dragon Balls should be enough! As for the destination, the Tuffles' planet will do just fine." Jiang Chen explained.
"Oh right, the Dragon Balls!" Goten quickly added.
Everyone had become so wary of the Black Star Dragon Balls that they'd instinctively avoided using any Dragon Balls altogether, no one had thought of this solution until now.
Soon, everyone began to take action.
Goku headed to Namek to ask for help using the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Time passed quietly.
In the time that followed, Jiang Chen did not intervene and simply waited in silence.
Soon, events returned to their original trajectory.
The only difference was that this time, Goku didn't need to rely on Instant Transmission to ferry humans back and forth one trip at a time. Instead, with the power of the Namekian Dragon Balls, all humans on Earth were relocated at once.
And to prevent panic or other issues, the Tuffles' planet was remodeled to perfectly mimic Earth's environment.
Following the mass relocation of Earth's population… Earth itself, just a few months later, turned to cosmic dust and ceased to exist.
Fortunately, the Namekian Dragon Balls became usable again at that moment. Using them, Earth was restored, and all its inhabitants were instantly teleported back.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
On the Lookout,
Everyone gathered once more.
"Aspara San, we're ready to set off again! We still need to recollect the Black Star Dragon Balls to prevent other planets across the universe from being destroyed!" Goku approached and spoke with a serious expression on his face.
"It would be better for you to hold off for now. A new crisis may soon be arriving on Earth." Jiang Chen shook his head, then spoke softly.
His gaze pierced through time and space, and he saw what was happening in Hell at that very moment.
"A crisis?"
"A new one?"
Everyone's heart tensed. Even Goku felt the same pressure.
"Aspara San, what kind of crisis are you talking about? Didn't we just restore Earth?" Trunks couldn't help but ask.
"Not that. Have you forgotten what I said before? This universe is only meant to be Goku's trial ground! And since it's a trial, challenges are inevitable. Baby was one of them, and the next crisis will be the same."
"If my guess is correct, Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu in Hell have already begun to act."
"What's coming next… won't be easy to deal with!"
"You'd best prepare yourselves. No need to go after the Black Star Dragon Balls for now."
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly.
