Time passed quickly. Gran soon finished preparing the feast. He did not make Stinky Tofu, and Stinky Tofu was not something that could be made in a short while anyway.
He made Roast Whole Lamb.
Before such delicious food, the lofty airs of a God of Destruction and an Angel had long since been tossed who knew where by Beerus and Whis. Both of them ate until their mouths were glistening with grease.
Meanwhile, Gran hugged an entire Roast Whole Lamb and gnawed on it. Half a year of training had left both his body and mind somewhat exhausted. He needed a good meal.
Two hours passed.
The three of them were finally full and satisfied, and they all lay down on beach chairs.
The sky of the God of Destruction Realm had already dimmed slightly. Purple Starlight spilled down as a gentle breeze blew...
Over the past half year, the three of them had each been busy with their own affairs. It was rare for them to have a moment of leisure, and they all enjoyed this peaceful time.
"Gran, your power has more or less reached a bottleneck, hasn't it?" Whis asked blandly as he lay back and looked at the sky.
Beerus's gaze sharpened. Was this little guy finally about to begin the next stage of his training?
"Yes."
Lying on his side, Gran looked at Whis, who was reclining on the beach chair in the middle. "Recently, I've felt that my power has become very difficult to improve."
"That's perfectly normal. If measured by the Battle Power scale used in the universe, one billion Battle Power is a bottleneck for people like you. Lord Beerus was the same back then. He remained at this stage for several years."
"Huh? Then what should I do now?"
"There are many factors involved in breaking through a bottleneck. Sometimes, simply being in a better mood can break a power bottleneck."
Whis looked at the dazzling starry sky. He had already formulated Gran's next training plan.
"That's true."
Beerus, reclining on the beach chair farthest to the right, also spoke.
"There are simply too many factors involved in breaking through a bottleneck, and it isn't something that can be done in a short time. Put power training aside for now."
Gran sat upright and looked at the two big shots beside him in confusion. "Then what should I train now?"
"You have already mastered power, trained your state of mind, and trained your strength. Now it is time to train your combat techniques, experience, awareness... things like that."
Whis said blandly, "You should understand why I had you train these things, right?"
"I roughly understand. Not long ago, you said that only combat is the fastest way to train Body Instinct."
Gran nodded and continued, "You want me to comprehend combat techniques and such through battle, then turn them into my own instincts. That way, my Body Instinct can advance."
Whis's ultimate goal was probably to have him completely master the Ultra Instinct state.
Before this, he had trained his state of mind. If he trained his Body Instinct as well, he would soon be able to master Ultra Instinct -Sign-.
"Correct."
Whis and Beerus nodded in satisfaction. This little guy was indeed clever.
"Then how should I train? Should I return to the Sumeru World and keep fighting those giant beasts..."
Gran suddenly stopped speaking and began counting on his little fingers again.
Beerus noticed his strange behavior and turned his head. "What are you doing?"
"Wait a moment."
Gran raised both little hands and made a time-out gesture.
He had been in the Dragon Ball World for more than two years. It was now Age 739, while Goku first set out on his journey to find the Dragon Balls in Era of Beerus 749.
In other words, there were still ten years before the Dragon Ball story began!
Gran had become a Candidate God of Destruction, and with Whis and Beerus by his side, he was not particularly interested in the other things on Earth.
But!
Senzu Beans!!!
That was something he was very interested in!!
Speaking of Senzu Beans, their effects were incredibly miraculous.
Other than being unable to cure illnesses, they could heal any injury on the body.
As long as someone still had a breath left, a Senzu Bean could save them and restore both their body and stamina to their peak condition.
In the early stages of the Dragon Ball story, there were still plenty of these things. But after Yajirobe climbed Korin Tower—
The number of Senzu Beans began to plummet. That was mainly because that guy ate them like meals. How could their numbers not drop quickly?
At the thought of that Fatty, Gran gritted his teeth in anger.
Whis was Beerus's servant. He could not stay by Gran's side every moment.
Without Whis's healing, Senzu Beans would come in handy.
No!
I have to take all the Senzu Beans before Yajirobe climbs Korin Tower!
"Brat, what are you thinking about?" Beerus asked with a frown.
Gran sat upright and turned to look at Whis and Beerus. "Whis, Lord Beerus, didn't you say that I need to experience countless battles before I can develop higher-level Body Instinct?"
Beerus's brow furrowed tighter and tighter. "What exactly are you trying to say?!"
Whis also found it a little strange.
"I..."
Gritting his teeth, Gran gathered his courage and said, "I want to leave the God of Destruction Realm and search outside for all kinds of powerful fighters in the universe to battle!"
That was indeed what Gran had been thinking. He had already been in the God of Destruction Realm for two years.
Whether it was his state of mind or his power, he had reached a bottleneck. He would not improve much in the short term.
In Whis and Beerus's words, he next needed to undergo countless battles to comprehend more combat techniques and experience... before finally turning them into Body Instinct.
Other than Whis and Beerus, the God of Destruction Realm only had the Prophecy Fish, which was still asleep.
Whis and Beerus were far too strong. They simply were not suitable opponents for him.
Of course, there were also the various giant beasts in the Sumeru World, but those beasts had no intelligence.
Fighting them would not greatly improve his combat techniques and such. It would be better to enter the universe and seek stronger opponents.
"..."
Beerus and Whis fell silent.
Gran asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Do you disagree with me going outside?"
"Hahaha!!"
Beerus and Whis suddenly burst into laughter.
??
Gran was a little dumbfounded. What was wrong with them?
After calming himself down, Whis said, "Actually, even if you hadn't brought it up, Lord Beerus and I were already planning to kick you out."
"Kick me out? Why are you kicking me out?"
Gran felt as though several sharp spikes had pierced his chest.
"Listen to us first."
Beerus said helplessly, "You have seen that there are hardly any people in our God of Destruction Realm. Whis and I are not suitable opponents for you. Other than going into the universe, where else can you go?"
He could actually go to other universes, but Gran's current strength was still far too lacking. It was not suitable to take him out of Universe 7 yet.
"So that's how it is!"
Gran patted his little chest.
He had thought Beerus and Whis really wanted to drive him away. It turned out that their thoughts happened to align.
"Then when will I leave the God of Destruction Realm?"
"One month from now. During this time, consolidate your strength a little more."
"Yes!"
Gran nodded forcefully.
He could finally enter the universe. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he began planning what to do next.
His first stop had to be Planet Yardrat to learn Instant Transmission. After all, Whis was Beerus's servant and could not follow him at all times.
With Instant Transmission, he would be able to go anywhere conveniently.
At the same time, Instant Transmission was also a highly practical escape technique. If he could not win, he could run. If he could not even run away, then he could only call for help.
His second stop had to be Planet Namek. Since he had come to the Dragon Ball World, he could not possibly fail to see the Dragon Balls for himself!
Not only did he want to see them, he also wanted to make a few wishes!
As for the third stop, it would be Earth's Senzu Beans...
The fourth stop would be challenging all kinds of powerful fighters...
Finally!
Gran also wanted to take revenge on Vegeta!
He still remembered the miserable state he had been in when he first transmigrated into the Dragon Ball World. He had said he would take revenge on Vegeta, and now it was about time!
Gran clenched his fist, and the corners of his lips curved up slightly.
Prince Vegeta, huh? Enjoy my one billion Battle Power when the time comes!
