Standing at the bottom of the tower, Gawain looked up.
Endless...
Indeed, even with his limited vision, he couldn't see the end of Korin Tower at a glance.
Therefore, although Korin Tower may appear to simply stand there, its existence is actually protected by some kind of magical magic.
Otherwise, given that Earthlings have long since developed airplanes and spaceships, they wouldn't be unable to discover the secret of Korin Tower.
This is not a problem that can be simply explained by altitude.
Just as Gawain was pondering, a figure came running quickly from afar.
Gawain glanced at him and recognized him as a familiar face: Bora, the guardian of Korin Tower.
However, at this point, Bora didn't know Gawain yet, and the story hadn't yet progressed to the point where Goku was fighting the Red Ribbon Army.
So many years have passed, Gawain hardly remembers the plot of Dragon Ball anymore.
However, Gawain was quite certain that the Red Ribbon Army's storyline would at least take place after the first World Martial Arts Tournament.
Goku is still training with Master Roshi, and Krillin hasn't even appeared yet, so how could the Red Ribbon Army have anything to do with it?
Therefore, at this time, Bora, the guardian of Korin Tower, had not had any contact with Goku or Gawain.
Upon seeing a figure approaching Korin Tower from the air in the distance, Bora rushed over.
He ran all the way to Gawain's front, bent down to catch his breath, and then nervously looked around.
When Bora noticed that Gawain was alone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked up at the sky just now, but couldn't see clearly, and thought it was some kind of flying machine carrying many people.
Now that you're alone, things are much easier.
Bora waved to Gawain from a distance.
"Hello, friend, are you here to challenge the martial artist from Korin Tower?"
If so, then I must tell you, I am the guardian of Korin Tower.
Of course, I will never stop you from climbing this tower. This is the path to the sky left by the Kami for mankind. As the guardian, I will never prevent anyone from approaching the gods in a way that the gods allow.
However, before you begin your climb, I have a few words to say to you!
As he spoke, Bora put down the spear in his hand and then came to Gawain's side.
After giving Gawain a Native American salute, Bora smiled.
"You didn't interrupt me, which is different from other martial artists who want to challenge Korin Tower. I'm starting to expect you to make it. You're more humble than those who failed."
Before you climb the tower, I want to tell you to try not to stop. I myself challenged Korin Tower when I was young, but I only lasted two days before I had to climb back down.
That tower is more than just a tower. Even if I hang myself on it in the easiest way, I won't be able to recover my strength. To climb it, I can only do it by going all out in one go.
Besides, don't be too greedy, especially with friends from outside!
Make sure you have enough energy to climb down!
Otherwise, the area around Korin Tower used to be littered with the bones of challengers, and we guardians gathered around Korin Tower for that very reason.
Our existence is to protect this tower while clearing away the surrounding remains...
Anyway, good luck, outsider!
"I'm Bora, can you tell me your name?"
"Gawain."
Gawain extended his hand and gently shook hands with the slightly puzzled Bora.
Then, he said to Bora with a smile.
"Thank you for reminding me, my friend. I'll tell you the story of that tower after I come down from it."
"Truly confident, but I like it that way—humble yet confident. A martial artist like you deserves to succeed more than any challenger I've ever faced in my life."
Who knows, today I might witness the second person to climb Korin Tower, just like my ancestors did.
According to my ancestors, the last person to climb Korin Tower was apparently a disciple of the legendary Master Mutaito, now known Master Roshi in the martial arts world.
Three hundred years have passed, so Master Roshi should be dead by now. It's really time for another martial artist to inherit the martial arts left behind by Master Roshi, haha.
Keep it up, Gawain! I'll be waiting for your good news down here!
At this point, Bora raised his hand and gave Gawain a Gawain five.
After delivering the blow, Gawain nodded, and then, like an ordinary person, began his journey to climb the tower.
Just as Gawain was climbing rapidly, a little child came bounding towards him from afar.
"Daddy, Daddy, are there new challengers in Korin Tower? Where are they? Where are they?"
"That challenger has already started climbing, Upa, keep your voice down, don't disturb him!"
Bora hurriedly stopped Upa from speaking, afraid of accidentally delaying Gawain's climbing pace. But in his eyes, he had just finished speaking with Upa when Gawain had already climbed to a height that was almost invisible to him!
Upon seeing this, Bora's eyes widened in surprise.
Nearby, Upa kept glancing intently at Korin Tower.
"Where is he, Dad? I can't find the person you mentioned."
"Of course you can't see it, he's climbing way too fast, way too fast!"
Meanwhile, at the Lookout of the Kami.
A black-skinned figure, with a kind face but an air of menace, was peering down through the Lookout.
Noticing the movements of the black man, a green-skinned Kami with two antennae on his head approached him, leaning on a cane.
"Hmm, Mr. Popo, what's going on down below?"
"Yes, it's definitely extraordinary."
Mr. Popo, the Black man, nodded, then placed his right hand on his eyebrow and continued looking down.
After glancing at it twice, he turned back and explained to the Kami.
"Another very unusual aura is approaching Korin Tower below. This aura... is truly extraordinary!"
As she spoke, Qidian in Mr. Popo's usually calm and collected eyes.
As a servant of the Earth Kami, Mr. Popo has been on Earth for countless years.
This "countless" is truly countless. Even before dinosaurs existed on Earth, Mr. Popo was already trying to teach amphibians breathing techniques...
As is widely known, in the world of Dragon Ball, the servants of gods are always stronger than the gods themselves.
The Zeno may come and go, but the Grand Priest remains constant.
Destroyers come and go, but angels remain constant.
The same applies to Earth. Mr. Popo, the waiter, has already experienced countless years, and such antiquity has given Mr. Popo knowledge far exceeding that of any Earthling.
He could sense that the approaching aura below was consciously concealing itself.
However, the concealment wasn't perfect; it seemed the opponent hadn't been practicing Qi for very long.
But in contrast, there was an absurdly strong aura.
At least at Mr. Popo's age, he has never encountered anything of that scale!
Mr. Popo then narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He's very strong, incredibly strong, surpassing anyone who has ever appeared on Earth!"
"Is that so?"
The Kami were stunned.
"You mean, even my other half isn't as good as this one below...?"
"Not nearly as good!"
Mr. Popo nodded emphatically.
"Compared to this aura, even your evil is but an ant on a mountain King Piccolo."
Why would such a powerful being emerge on Earth?
But at least we know he meant no harm; after all, if he had, the Earth would have already disappeared."
At this point, Mr. Popo put his hands back behind his back and resumed his relaxed demeanor.
At the same time, the god used his magic to display the image of Korin Tower before himself.
In God's eyes, the old cat Korin was sleeping on his cane as usual.
Looking at the leisurely Korin, the Kami sighed deeply.
"There are so few martial artists on Earth that even the Korin has no guests."
If this continues, King Kai might reprimand us again.
Luckily, I've prepared a few jokes here. Anyway, no matter what King Kai hears, as long as that sentence is told as a joke, he'll laugh nonstop."
"It's not a good thing to tease King Kai behind his back like this; King Kai might hear it."
Mr. Popo reminded the Kami gently shook his head.
"No, it won't."
The Kami said with a wry smile.
"Our Earth hasn't been able to send King Kai any outstanding martial artists worthy of his training for thousands of years. I'm afraid King Kai wouldn't even bother to look at us now."
Alas, this truly disappoints King Kai.
It's just that gods older than me have spread martial arts, and I even created the Dragon Ball from my hometown to attract Earthlings.
Even so, the martial arts of Earth always seem to plummet into a trough after an occasional peak.
They were so fond of killing each other that 99% of the martial arts experts didn't even get to the point of climbing Korin Tower before... dying inexplicably.
Why!"
With a long sigh, the Kami wanted to say something more, but Korin Tower had already welcomed the guest.
So the Kami stopped talking and looked intently at the screen.
The Kami was stunned at just one glance.
"This is... the person who made a wish a while ago!"
That young man... who even puzzled and baffled the Shenron.
It's strange. From the footage, Tucker doesn't seem particularly powerful. Isn't he just a typical Earthling?
So, has an unimaginably powerful being truly been born on Earth?
Just like the super Namek that circulate in my hometown, could this person be... a super Earthling?
On the other hand, Korin Tower.
After meeting Korin, Gawain did not contact Korin again.
Although Korin was not weak, he did not teach how to use ki.
The knowledge he imparts is actually to lay the foundation for better cultivation of qi.
Gawain doesn't need to build a foundation anymore; his foundation is already too solid.
So not long after, Gawain traded countless fresh sea fish for a jar of Senzu Bean from the Korin.
Gawain planned to take these Senzu Bean back for Bulma and Dr. Briefs. Brief to study.
With their incredible scientific and technological abilities, it should be possible to cultivate Senzu Bean on a large scale.
Of course, Gawain also brought a bottle of Ultra Divine Water, since it's used to grow Senzu Bean.
After a brief conversation with Korin, Gawain continued his journey toward the Lookout.
A short while later, Gawain arrived at the Lookout and met with the Kami and Mr. Popo.
The Kami and Mr. Popo were extremely welcoming of Gawain's arrival. After talking for a whole day, Gawain finally persuaded the Kami that he could bring his subordinates to the Lookout to cultivate.
Unfortunately, while Master Roshi's teaching is indeed excellent, he's practically a Master Roshi in the realm of Earth's martial arts...
Therefore, in order to lay a solid foundation for his subordinates, Gawain had to go through the entire Qi cultivation process from elementary school to university.
However, that's not the key point. The key point is that Gawain also wants to have the opportunity to meet King Kai.
To prove he was worthy to meet the King Kai, Gawain deliberately displayed a portion of his power, which finally convinced the Kami.
To see the King Kai, one should theoretically die and then try to gain the opportunity to travel to the Snake Way through King Yemma King Kai's presence.
However, although the Kami's time as a god was short, he had gained a lot of knowledge. He knew other ways to pay homage to King Yemma, and if he could see King Yemma, he could naturally see the King Kai.
And so, after the Kami agreed to take Gawain to see King Kai.
Gawain immediately brought more of his subordinates from the Pirate World to the Tamayo.
For a time, it was a matter of Hashirama, Hashirama, Naruto, and Sasuke.
Aside from Luffy and his crew who had just set sail, there were also Mihawk and Momousagi.
Everyone rushed onto Earth in a frenzy.
This spectacle terrified Master Roshi; he truly hadn't expected that the Earth's martial arts world had unknowingly become like this.
So, Master Roshi started a training course, tricking tons of pornographic magazines and DVDs from Issho and the others along the way...
After Gawain explained to his subordinates the order of making up lessons first with Master Roshi and then at the Lookout.
He himself, along with the Kami, traveled to the underworld in the body of a living person and came before King Yemma.
Looking at the petite Kami and Gawain before him, King Yemma frowned and adjusted his glasses.
After examining a book for a long time, King Yemma sighed and continued.
"Strange, your name isn't in the Book of Life and Death!"
"Gawain, you're not from our universe, are you?"
"That's definitely not it."
Faced with King Yemma's question, Gawain answered it as a matter of course, after all, even he dared not disrespect the King Yemma before him.
He's barely even close to being a Super Saiyan 2.
And King Yemma...
Even after Golden Frieza died, he was still at the mercy of this King Yemma!
That's right, in the Dragon Ball universe, all life forms go to only one place after death: the underworld!
The area controlled by this underworld is simply too vast!
And the King of King Yemma here is far more imposing than the Supreme Kai or anything like that in the human King Kai!
As the King Yemma, he wasn't even that afraid of the God of Destruction; in fact, the God of Destruction should be afraid of the King Yemma!
There is a ranking among the Gods of Destruction. The God of Destruction with the lowest overall strength in its universe will be destroyed by Zeno and his universe at some point.
And after the God of Destruction died...
After they die, their souls also go to the underworld!
This is the kind of imposing presence that King Yemma, should have!
