Old Kai hesitated for a moment before taking the Senzu Bean.

Old Kai's injuries immediately healed.

"Son Goten, where did you get this Senzu Bean? It's quite amazing!"

"I got it from Master Korin!"

"Master Korin?"

"Yes, he's the immortal who lives on Karin Tower!"

"I see! Well, Goten, if there's nothing else, I'll be going then?"

"Going where?"

"Back to the Kaioshin Realm, of course!"

"Oh!"

"Then please thank your brother for me!"

"Thank my brother?"

"Yes, after all, he was the one who pulled out the Kaioshin Sword!"

"Then, Old Kai, can you help me repair this Kaioshin Sword?"

"No!"

Old Kai shook his head.

This Kaioshin Sword had sealed him for so long, how could he possibly repair it.

"Why?"

"No reason!"

After speaking, Old Kai immediately used Instant Transmission and left Earth.

Kaioshin Realm.

East Kaioshin was standing on a grassy plain, observing the universe. A figure suddenly appeared in front of East Kaioshin.

This person was Old Kai.

East Kaioshin looked down at Old Kai and said, "Sir, who are you?"

"I am probably your previous fifteen Supreme Kais!"

"O-one... fifteen generations!"

East Kaioshin was shocked.

"Indeed!"

"Then you must be my ancestor?"

"Mm!"

Old Kai nodded.

"Then... then Ancestor, why did you suddenly appear?"

"It's a long story, but simply put, I was sealed inside the Kaioshin Sword before."

"The Kaioshin Sword? Isn't that sword with Gohan?"

"Yes! Son Goten broke it while practicing sword fighting today!"

"Broke... broke the sword!"

"Yes, otherwise I'd still be sealed inside!"

"I originally thought a Supreme Kai would be the one to pull out the Kaioshin Sword, but I never expected it to be a human. The Supreme Kais are truly getting worse with each generation!"

"I... I'm sorry, Ancestor!"

East Kaioshin said shamefully.

Old Kai snorted upon hearing this and remained silent.

Earth, Mount Paozu.

After Old Kai left, Son Goten returned home and told Son Gohan about breaking the Kaioshin Sword in half.

"Old Kai?"

"Mm!"

Son Goten nodded.

"If the Kaioshin Sword is broken, it's broken. We'll have Dad ask Lord Kai to fix it then!"

"Lord Kai!"

"Hm!"

Gohan nodded.

Universe 6.

Champa and Vados were flying rapidly through the universe, searching for the Super Dragon Balls.

"Lord Champa, we've found five Super Dragon Balls already. We just need two more to find all of them!"

Champa nodded.

"Then we'll wish to Super Shenron to give Universe 6 a planet like Earth!"

"Hm!"

Champa nodded.

"Vados, about how long until Beerus wakes up?"

"Five years!"

"Really? That guy sure can sleep!"

"But you slept for much longer than Lord Beerus before!"

"That was before. Now that Earth food is so delicious, I won't sleep that long again!"

"Oh right, Vados, what do you think of that Saiyan named Son Goten?"

"What do I think?"

"He's only seven years old, yet he has such immense power!"

Vados thought for a moment.

"He has the potential to become a God of Destruction!"

"That's what I thought too!"

"So, Lord Champa, are you planning to have him succeed your position?"

"No, I don't have any intention of becoming a God of Destruction yet! I just think his strength is good, and he might surpass me in the future!"

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything had been very peaceful during this half-month.

Mount Paozu, behind Son Goku's house.

Goten was training in the mountains when a figure suddenly appeared before him.

This person was the Time Kaioshin Kaiin.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Time Kaioshin, responsible for managing time and space!"

"Then what business do you have here?"

"I'm here to ask you about traveling through time and space. Normally, only Demon Gods, myself, and Kaioshins can do it. Even Goku and the others from the Time Patrol can only open the gate of time and space with my help! So, who exactly are you?"

Goten smiled.

"Didn't I tell you before? My name is Son Goten!"

"Then how do you explain traveling through time and space?"

"An old man gave me the Power of Time!"

"An old man?"

"Yes, and he told me not to reveal his identity!"

Kaiin listened, then touched his chin with his right hand.

"In that case, why don't you join our Time Patrol?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because I've always preferred to work alone!"

"Then, in that case, I'll be going back!"

"You're leaving already?"

"What else? Should I stay for dinner?"

"That's not impossible!"

Kaiin, after hearing this, couldn't be bothered to reply and simply chose to leave.

Time Nest.

Trunks of the Time Patrol was practicing his swordplay in the courtyard when he suddenly saw Kaiin's figure.

"Supreme Kai!"

Kaiin nodded.

"Supreme Kai, how did your inquiry go?"

"I didn't find anything out!"

"Then do you think he might be possessed?"

"I don't know, but I didn't sense any evil energy from him. Do you think he might be a reincarnated transmigrator?"

"I don't know. Well then, Supreme Kai, did you invite him to join our Time Patrol?"

"I did, but he refused!"

Kaioshin Realm.

Old Kai was very bored, using his Clairvoyance to watch insects fight on Earth.

A figure suddenly appeared in the Kaioshin Realm.

This person was Son Goten.

"Goten!"

East Kaioshin exclaimed in surprise.

"Long time no see, Supreme Kai!"

Upon hearing this, Old Kai immediately turned his gaze to Son Goten.

"Long time no see, Goten. Why have you come here so suddenly today?"

"I've come to find Old Kai."

"Looking for me?"

Son Goten nodded.

"Then what do you need me for?"

"Old Kai, didn't you say before that you could help people surpass their limits?"

"You want me to help you surpass your limits?"

"Mm."

Son Goten nodded.

"No!"

"Why?"

"You hit me before, have you forgotten?"

"But Old Kai, didn't I give you a Senzu Bean afterward?"

"No, I've already repaid my debt to you."

"If that's the case, then I'll just have to go find Lord Champa!"

"Find Lord Champa for what?"

"The Kaioshin Sword has been repaired, and I want you to return to the sword."
