"Lord Great Elder, is there a problem?" Nail asked.

"This little fellow named Luo Tian may become a great god someday." The Great Elder smiled.

"A god? He's a god?" Nail froze for a moment, his face full of astonishment.

Moori and the other Namekians also looked curiously at the Great Elder.

"The special energy fluctuations around him—if I'm not mistaken—should be the aura of a god," the Great Elder said with emotion.

"Could he be that Super Saiyan God?" Moori asked in surprise.

"Perhaps he may go even further than that." The Great Elder smiled faintly.

A brief silence followed.

"After all, he effortlessly saved all of Planet Namek. Other than a true god, ordinary humans would probably find that difficult, wouldn't they?" the Great Elder sighed. "Even Porunga had no way to make Planet Namek's negative energy disappear..."

All the Namekians present fell into thought.

Thud!

Delta immediately dropped to his knees, bowing toward the starry sky as he proudly declared, "I once taught a god to speak the Namekian Language!"

Great Elder: "..."

Moori: "..."

The many Namekians silently wiped away their sweat.

Outer space.

Inside Luo Tian's Spaceship.

Vegeta remained silent the entire way.

Not until the Spaceship had flown through the starry sky for about ten minutes did Vegeta suddenly come back to his senses. Turning to stare at Luo Tian, he asked, "Can you tell me now who that Legendary Super Saiyan is?"

"Better not. It really stings," Luo Tian sighed. "Tell me, no matter what, we're both the most talented warriors of our generation, right? And yet, we're not the chosen ones!"

Vegeta: "..."

Now that you put it that way, it stings even more.

We were, after all, the most talented warriors of this generation.

Yet neither of us was the Legendary Super Saiyan.

And the Legendary Super Saiyan was someone else entirely.

How troubling!

"Forget it." Vegeta no longer wanted to ask. He snorted coldly. "Maybe... he's already dead."

Luo Tian: "..."

You really are ruthless.

"But now that I think about it, this trip to Planet Namek feels unreal," Vegeta said, frowning as he rubbed his chin in quiet thought.

"What do you mean?" Luo Tian was taken aback.

"I feel like it was a trap..." Vegeta snorted.

"A trap?" Luo Tian was somewhat confused.

"Was everything that dragon said true?" Vegeta was doubtful.

"Fake. It was all fake." Luo Tian sighed.

"Hmph, I knew it was fake. You took advantage of my unconsciousness to join forces with the Namekians and put on an act for me, didn't you?" Vegeta snorted.

Luo Tian was dumbfounded. He stared unblinkingly at Vegeta's youthful face.

For a moment, Luo Tian had no idea what to say.

You're really something.

I deliberately put on an act with the Namekians for you?

How bored would I have to be?

"Nothing to say, huh? Surprised?" Vegeta snorted. Seeing Luo Tian's astonished expression, he felt that his guess had to be right.

Luo Tian: "..."

Luo Tian was nearly choked speechless.

"Why did that dragon say exactly the same thing as you?" Vegeta snorted coldly, narrowing his eyes at Luo Tian. "Tell me, what's the explanation for that?"

"Fine, you're right. You really are something," Luo Tian sighed, stepping forward to pat Vegeta on the shoulder.

"Hmph, I was right, wasn't I?" Vegeta kept snorting, practically holding his tail high in the air. "I knew what that dragon said sounded so much like you! A peaceful heart? What utter nonsense!"

Luo Tian no longer wanted to deal with Vegeta and turned to leave.

Before leaving, Luo Tian couldn't help tossing out one remark: "You're an Adou beyond saving."

"Who's Adou? Is he famous?" Vegeta paused.

"Mm-hm, very famous!" Luo Tian nodded.

"Then tell me, what's the Battle Power of this guy called Adou?" Vegeta immediately became interested.

Luo Tian: "..."

"I remember playing a game before. His martial prowess was 21, intelligence 16, politics 15, charisma 20, command 18... I can't remember the rest," Luo Tian mused.

Vegeta: "????"

What the hell was that?

"What are you even talking about?" Vegeta looked utterly bewildered.

Luo Tian ignored Vegeta again and headed toward his room.

But Vegeta quickly caught up.

"Hey, don't leave!" Vegeta said hurriedly.

"Is there something else, my Prince?" Luo Tian sighed.

"Hmph, you said you'd take me to a very special planet, and this is it?" Vegeta felt somewhat displeased.

Feeling Vegeta's unruly temperament, Luo Tian wondered... should he find another underling?

Who should he replace him with?

Luo Tian thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Broly!

That's right!

Should I go find Broly?

Wouldn't it be easier to keep Broly by my side than Vegeta?

And Broly could train with me.

Vegeta was far too weak right now.

Besides, someone as unruly as Vegeta had to suffer Kakarot's brutal beatings and become locked in a love-hate rivalry with him before he could grow quickly.

"By the way, what are you planning to do next?" Luo Tian suddenly asked.

"Hmph, being with you is too boring. I originally hoped your Healing Technique would help me increase my Battle Power faster, but I've figured it out now. I'm going to train through my own efforts!" Vegeta snorted. "I'm the most talented warrior. I don't need anyone else's help!"

"Then should I take you to Raditz and Nappa?" Luo Tian suggested.

"Fine. It's still much better than your boring pacifism!" Vegeta nodded. "I thought I'd get to have a good fight on Planet Namek. If you hadn't stopped me, I would've already wiped that planet clean."

"Fine, then I'll take you to Raditz and the others. Is that good enough?" Luo Tian did not object.

"The Scouter was destroyed. How are you going to find them?" Vegeta asked.

"Only our Spaceship's Positioning System was destroyed. The communication system is still intact, so we can contact them," Luo Tian said.

"You're right!" Vegeta's eyes lit up. He immediately stepped forward and used the Spaceship's communicator to contact Raditz.

Raditz's voice soon came through the speaker.

"Huh? Prince Vegeta? We're on Planet Kurit. This planet has excellent resources. We just conquered it, and it should fetch a very good price." Raditz hurriedly replied.
