Everlasting Youth, the New Kami
"Renamed Piccolo? Good, goodbye to the past, welcome to a new future." Talot smiled calmly, understanding Piccolo's thoughts.
Once things are complete, this is a good start.
Piccolo then revealed his purpose in coming to find Talot.
Now that he has regained his full body, he hopes that Talot can send him to Namek Planet so that he can find a new path and start cultivating again.
Talot wouldn't refuse such a request and agreed to Piccolo's request.
As the two were talking, Bulma seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait a minute, I heard you say yesterday that the monster called Cell seems to have killed a lot of humans. Now that Piccolo and Kami have merged into one, can the Dragon Ball still be used?" Bulma asked the crucial question.
This problem made Piccolo realize, belatedly, that his fusion seemed to have happened too early.
Talot suddenly realized that he had completely overlooked this point.
"I'm so sorry, it was my oversight. The Dragon Ball turned to stone along with my fusion with Kami," Piccolo said apologetically.
It was his oversight. He already knew that Cell was absorbing humans everywhere. He should have collected the Dragon Ball first to revive all the dead people before merging with Kami.
"It's not your fault. Nobody's perfect. Even gods make mistakes. I didn't even think of that. It seems we'll have to borrow the Dragon Ball from Namek when we go there, and bring back a Namekian to serve as the new Kami on Earth," Talot said.
The plot unfolds much like in the original story, except this time it's them who go to Namek.
"Yes, that's a good idea." Piccolo nodded in agreement.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Piccolo trusted Talot very much.
Just as the two reached an agreement and were about to set off, Bulma interrupted again, saying, "Wait! Don't leave me behind, I want to come too."
Bulma took the initiative to ask, and Talot did not refuse. Since they were going to come together, they decided to go together.
For him, who had mastered the Space Power, there was not much difference between having one more person or one less person.
"I'll first locate the coordinates of Namek in this world. Please wait a moment." After saying this, Talot expanded his mental perception, extending it outwards from Earth as the center.
The immense spiritual power rapidly swept across the Universe and galaxies.
The aura of all living things surged into Talot's mind like a torrent, but none of these were the Namekian aura he was familiar with.
A considerable amount of time passed under the watchful eyes of Piccolo, Bulma, and Future Trunks.
Talot finally found the coordinates of New Namek Planet in this vast Universe.
"Found it, let's go." As soon as the words fell, an invisible Space Power swept over Bulma and Piccolo, centered on Talot. In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from the spot.
Future Trunks wasn't with them; he watched the three leave, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, thinking he would be taken along, but he was completely ignored.
On Namek.
The Namekian, after arriving on this new planet, resumed their previous lives, cultivating the land day after day and improving the planet's environment.
At the same time, they were not complacent and were not deceived by the appearance of peace.
Only after experiencing Hell despair did they understand the preciousness of peace.
Although this brand-new Namek is located in an untouched region of the Universe, no one knows whether it will be invaded by external enemies in the future.
If they want to maintain the status quo, powerful warriors are essential, a conclusion they reached after the Frieza ordeal.
Namek must grow stronger or gain the protection of powerful warriors.
Therefore, in addition to their daily farming, other Namekian also began to train and improve their strength.
Just then, a strange movement came from the space.
Talot, Piccolo, and Bulma came from distant Earth and appeared near the residence of the current Grand Elder.
Their sudden appearance left the surrounding Namekian completely astonished.
Although they didn't know Talot, they knew Piccolo and Bulma. After all, when Namek was destroyed, they spent a long time at Bulma's house.
The Namekian swarmed around Bulma and Piccolo, greeting them one after another.
At this moment, the Grand Elder, who was inside the residence, also noticed something amiss. He came out of the residence and, upon seeing Bulma and Piccolo, beamed with joy and quickly came up to greet them.
Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, the Namekian had never forgotten the kindness they had shown Bulma when they lived there.
Upon meeting the Grand Elder, Bulma quickly explained her purpose.
They need to borrow the Dragon Ball from Namek to revive the dead on Earth and bring a skilled Namekian back to Earth to serve as the new Kami.
After learning the purpose of their visit, a glint flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes. For them, this was a deal that would only bring them profit.
Send a skilled Namek descendant to Earth to serve as Kami. In the future, if Namek encounters a crisis that they cannot handle, they can seek help by communicating with their fellow Namekians on Earth.
"I understand. As for taking up the position of Kami on Earth, I have a good candidate. You should all know him." After the Grand Elder finished speaking, he turned his gaze to a spot behind him.
"Dende, come here," the Grand Elder instructed.
Upon hearing the summons, Dende immediately stepped forward and politely approached Talot, Piccolo, and Bulma.
"Is it Dende? If it is, he could be a good Kami." Piccolo was very happy to see Dende.
Since assimilating Nail, his feelings for Dende have been like those for a younger brother.
With his pure and kind heart, he was the perfect choice to become Kami.
"It's a pleasure to see you all again, Uncle Piccolo, Sister Bulma, and this uncle," Dende greeted them politely.
"It's been years, but you're still as well-behaved and sensible as ever, Dende." Bulma smiled broadly; she was quite familiar with Dende.
I had quite a bit of contact with him back then, and I received a lot of help from Dende.
Talot simply smiled and said nothing more.
"Dende, my name is Piccolo now, so you can call me Uncle Piccolo from now on," Piccolo reminded her.
"I understand, Uncle Piccolo," Dende nodded in reply.
"Dende is an excellent descendant of the dragon race. I believe he can fulfill the role of Kami well, and perhaps he can even upgrade the Dragon Ball on Earth." The Grand Elder had great confidence in Dende.
And Dende, at this moment, was also incredibly looking forward to going to Earth.
He missed two friends he hadn't seen in a long time, Krillin and Son Gohan.
The choice for the position of Earth Kami has been made.
Next, it's time to make a wish using the Dragon Ball.
Regarding the Dragon Ball, because the Namekian' current management model is different from before, they have always been stored together.
After the Grand Elder ordered his men to fetch it, he began to summon the Shenron.
As he chanted the incantation, the seven Dragon Ball resonated together.
The sky over Namek darkened at that moment, darkness descended, but the golden light shone even brighter.
'Crackling sound!!'
At the center of the seven Dragon Ball, a golden beam of light shot into the sky.
An immense Wish Power emanated from the seven Dragon Ball, and the overwhelming dragon might caused spatial turbulence, enveloping an area of hundreds of miles in radius.
Soon, the golden light sculpted the form of the Shenron Porunga.
"Whoever has collected all seven Dragon Ball, tell me your wish. Whatever your wish, I can grant three of them." Upon his appearance, Shenron Porunga said his classic line.
"Porunga has appeared. You can speak your wishes now," the Grand Elder said.
"I remember that when Shenron on Namek made a wish, it seemed that he could only revive one person at a time, which makes things a bit difficult." At this moment, Bulma recalled the past and said with a troubled expression.
"You don't need to worry about that. Since the Frieza incident ended, I upgraded Porunga. Now, Porunga can fulfill the wish of resurrecting multiple people," the Grand Elder explained.
Upon hearing this, Bulma was overjoyed. "That would be wonderful!"
Piccolo quickly expressed his first wish.
They resurrected the people on Earth who had been killed by Cell.
"Is this your first wish? I understand." Porunga's heavy voice echoed in the space, and a bloody glint flashed in his eyes as he unleashed his immense Wish Power.
Those on Earth whose lives were taken by Cell were resurrected and looked around in bewilderment.
They had already reported to the Underworld, so how did they suddenly return to the human world?
"Your first wish has been granted. Now, please state your second wish," Porunga continued.
Without hesitation, the first person continued making wishes, and the second wish was to restore all the damage to the Earth caused by the Androids incident.
After all, the humans were resurrected, but the cities were destroyed. And the rest of the Earth was devastated by the battles fought by the Androids.
Of course, the only thing that cannot be restored is Dr. Gero's research institute, otherwise Cell would have been resurrected in a roundabout way.
With his second wish granted, Piccolo turned his gaze to Talot, now was the perfect time for him to make a wish.
"I don't need to make wishes, leave that to Bulma." Talot directly gave the opportunity to make a wish to Bulma.
Hearing this, Bulma's smile became even brighter; she also had a wish that needed to be fulfilled.
Her third wish was for her to maintain a youthful appearance and never grow old.
Bulma bluntly stated her wish, causing Piccolo's lips to twitch.
Using the Shenron Porunga to accomplish something so simple seems like overkill...
But there was nothing he could do; Talot had given his wish to Bulma.
Piccolo had also figured it out: Bulma and Talot were together in their world.
Piccolo translated Bulma's wish into Namekian Language and told it to Porunga.
'Buzz!' As the bloody light in Porunga's eyes flashed again, a massive amount of Wish Power acted on Bulma.
At this moment, Bulma clearly felt the changes in her body and was filled with joy.
No woman doesn't wish to stay young forever.
"Your wishes have been fulfilled. Farewell." With the mission complete, the Shenron Porunga did not linger for a moment. Its body dissipated, and the seven enormous Dragon Ball lost their luster, turning back into stones.
Unlike the Dragon Ball on Earth, the Dragon Ball on Namek do not fly away.
The sky over Namek was restored to light at that moment.
The wishing process has ended, and the candidates for the Kami on Earth have been found, so there's not much point in staying any longer.
After a brief exchange, Talot and Piccolo exchanged a glance and Talot taught him the method of Instant Transmission.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to return to Earth in the future.
Talot will definitely leave and won't come to pick him up. Although Future Son Goku can use Instant Transmission to bring Piccolo back in the future, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
Kami's Lookout.
Ever since Kami Piccolo and Piccolo merged into Piccolo, Popo, the servant of the gods, has been sadly waiting here.
Without the Kami, what is the meaning of his existence as a servant of the gods?
Just as Popo was questioning his life, a ripple appeared in the space in front of him.
A whooshing sound rang out.
Talot and Bulma returned from Namek with Dende.
Upon noticing the three people's arrival, Popo paused for a moment, then quickly perked up.
"Let me introduce him first. He is Popo, a servant of the Kami of Earth throughout history," Talot introduced to Dende.
Dende walked up to Popo in a friendly manner and said, "Nice to meet you in the future. My name is Dende."
"Hmm?... Hmm." Popo nodded with a puzzled look.
Talot explained the reason to Popo: from now on, Dende will become the new Kami of Earth, and Popo will be needed to guide him.
Popo was surprised that the arrival of the new Kami had been decided, but soon, a strong sense of joy arose in his heart.
He no longer has to be all alone like before.
Although it was a child who came.
Thus, Dende was appointed as the new Kami of Earth, and his primary task was to restore the Dragon Ball to Earth.
However, to restore the Dragon Ball on Earth, a model of Earth Shenron is also needed.
"The previous Kami God left behind a model of the Shenron, which is deep within the Kami's Lookout. I'll go retrieve it right now." Popo immediately set off, jogging towards the depths of the Kami's Lookout.
Before long, a huge Shenron model was carried from Kami's Lookout the temple to outside by Popo.
If Dende uses his abilities on this model, he can restore Earth's Dragon Ball.
Without hesitation, Dende took action, aiming his hands at the Shenron model while chanting a special incantation.
As an outstanding descendant of the dragon race, his abilities were fully displayed at this moment.
Talot and Bulma were utterly astonished by what they saw.
