Mefilada Tower

Korin's Sacred Land.

The vast forest stretches as far as the eye can see, its surface undulating like the sea in the wind. As you cross the snow-capped mountains to the west, the moist air is filtered and becomes clear and cool.

The majestic Korin Tower stands in the center of the Holy Land, appearing from afar like a vertical line connecting heaven and earth. With the recent boom in Earth Martial Arts, more and more people come to the Holy Land to challenge this divine tower, but only a handful actually manage to climb it.

On this day, several sudden whirlwinds startled the martial artists who were recovering their strength in the middle of the Divine Tower.

They opened their eyes briefly, only to see a few fleeting shadows flash past them before quickly turning into black dots and disappearing into the clouds.

Did someone just fly by?

"Impossible! Who could be that fast!"

A young martial artist, holding the tower of Korin Tower with both hands, spoke with some doubt, then quickly dismissed it as a figment of his imagination—after all, he was currently in the middle of Korin Tower, at least tens of kilometers above the ground. It was already quite difficult for an ordinary person to climb to that height, let alone surpass it in the blink of an eye.

But then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, several more figures flashed past him, the fierce whirlwinds brushing his face and nearly blowing him off.

Now the young martial artist saw it clearly, his pupils contracted, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

"My God, someone really flew up there! This speed is not something ordinary people can achieve. Could it be one of those predecessors who successfully High God..." The young martial artist looked on in shock, filled with envy for the abilities displayed by his predecessors.

How wonderful it would be if he could have such strength someday!

"Okay, keep going! First, climb the Korin Tower, then gain the approval of the Korin!" A determined glint flashed in his eyes. The young martial artist steadied himself, mustered his spirits, and set off to climb to the top of the Korin Tower.

There are many martial arts enthusiasts on Earth like this young martial artist. They embark on the path of martial arts training with dreams and aspirations, challenging their own limits.

Many years later, some of them succeeded, achieving their long-cherished ideals and becoming famous; others failed, falling on the road to pursuing their dreams for various reasons. But in retrospect, their youthful struggles were not in vain.

At the top of the Korin Tower, the Korin stood on the edge of the tower, leaning on his wooden staff. On the second floor, a dozen or so outstanding martial artists were training hard.

The Korin looked down at the martial artists God of War Tower, stroked his whiskers, and smiled with satisfaction.

As the guardian of Korin Tower Immortal, its greatest responsibility is to cultivate a new generation of martial artists. It has witnessed the gradual decline of Earth Martial Arts over the past few hundred years, but it has been unable to change anything, remaining silent for three hundred years. As the saying goes, after the worst comes the best, and the current era is the most dazzling and brilliant in its more than eight hundred years of experience.

Such a prosperous scene was unprecedented even three hundred years ago, when martial arts were at their peak.

At that moment, Korin narrowed his eyes and saw Goku, Krillin, and others who had gathered from all over the world. They were all rushing towards the Kami's Lookout, their auras undiminished, and even from a great distance, one could feel a chilling wind blowing towards him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Goku, Bulla, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and others flew past the top of the tower one after another without stopping, instantly turning into several black dots and disappearing into the clouds.

"What... what happened?" With a vague premonition, the Korin leaned on his wooden cane and looked around anxiously.

Sigh, it seems something really serious has happened.

The Korin pondered for a moment, then turned and headed towards the second floor of the Korin Tower. Faced with a powerful enemy, its power was of no use; it could only use its strengths to cultivate talent for Earth from the rear.

Kami's Lookout.

Old Kami and Mr. Popo stood in the empty hall, while Chi-Chi and Suno were instructing the martial artists in the Kami's Lookout. When Goku landed in the Kami's Lookout with Bulma in his arms, Chi-Chi and Suno came over.

"Brother Goku, why did you come so quickly? Is something wrong?"

Chi-Chi was dressed in a white robe with gold Godly Robe, the fitted waist highlighting her graceful figure. Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she stood tall and elegant, beautiful and dignified.

"A very serious thing has indeed happened."

Goku nodded solemnly and addressed Chi-Chi and the others seriously. Just then, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and the others arrived late. Piccolo asked Goku, "Goku, why did you gather everyone here in such a grand manner?"

"Here's what happened, just now King Kai..."

Goku informed everyone of North Kai's warning. When everyone learned that King Cold, who struck fear into the hearts of the entire North Galaxy, was about to arrive on Earth, everyone's faces darkened.

"King Cold, the cosmic overlord, why would such a powerful figure like him be eyeing Earth?!"

"It's most likely because of the Dragon Ball. Damn it, those aliens' communicators leaked the information. I should have just killed them." Piccolo cursed coldly, his eyes flashing. King Cold's arrival made him feel unprecedented pressure.

"60 million combat power, and who knows if that's his peak..." Krillin gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"But I already used up both of my Dragon Ball wishes Angel ago." Tien Shinhan's expression wasn't very good.

We only have three days left.

Everyone fell silent. The idea of abandoning Earth and going to Planet Sadala flashed through their minds, but they quickly dismissed it. If they left, what would happen to the others left on Earth? King Cold, unable to find the Dragon Ball, would inevitably vent his anger on the Earthling.

This is not about playing the hero, but about the responsibility of a martial artist.

Even knowing it was futile, Krillin and the others decided to perish with Earth.

"Everyone, we still have three days. Hopefully, it's not all over," Chi-Chi's clear and beautiful voice rang out.

Everyone looked at her, Chi-Chi said, "Deep inside the Kami's Lookout is a room called the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber.' One year inside is equivalent to one day outside. If we make good use of it, we still have three years left. However, there is a limitation to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber: only two people can enter at a time."

"How to select the right people to join will be a crucial issue."

Krillin and Tien Shinhan exchanged a glance and sighed. Tien Shinhan said, "Let's just give up. Even if we have three years to grow, we still won't be able to defeat King Cold. We might as well leave the training opportunity to Goku."

Krillin said, "Yes, Goku and Piccolo are different from us. They have a greater chance of breaking through. If we let them take turns going in, we can form three groups to maximize their effectiveness."

Day 1: Goku and Piccolo;

Day 2: Goku and Bulla;

Day 3: Piccolo and Bulla.

With proper planning, the remaining three days can be utilized to the fullest extent.

Goku frowned slightly, looking somewhat pessimistic. "It's not that simple. Cultivation isn't something you can break through at will. And once you break through, you need at least a period of accumulation. In my estimation, I can only stay inside for a day at most. Staying any longer would just be a waste of time."

Upon hearing this, Krillin and Tien Shinhan realized their mistake and gave a wry smile, acknowledging that they had been too naive.

Breakthroughs in cultivation are a process of accumulation. A certain amount of pressure can motivate people to cultivate, but it is impossible to break through without pressure or endless hard work. Without a certain amount of accumulation between breakthroughs, what can one use to break through the bottleneck of a level?

"In that case, Goku and Bulla will go in on the first day, Piccolo on the second day, and the people going in with him will be..."

"Me!"

Tien Shinhan stepped forward, "While my strength isn't that great, I can barely serve as Piccolo's sparring partner using the Kaioken."

"I have no objection. This three-eyed creature has pretty good stamina..." Piccolo nodded indifferently.

That's how things were arranged. As for who gets to use the third day, that depends on the situation. Maybe before the third day even arrives, King Cold's army will have already reached Earth.

Next, everyone took their positions. Goku and Bulla, led by Chi-Chi, were the first to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The golden door slammed shut, isolating the interior of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from the outside world.

"Bulla, we only have one year left. We must break through as quickly as possible within this time." Goku put on his martial arts uniform and tightened his belt.

"Mmm." Bulla nodded vigorously, his young face full of seriousness.

In addition to Goku and his companions entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to cultivate, the group had other arrangements. They couldn't put all their eggs in one basket, and other measures were being implemented simultaneously.

Bulma was contacting Planet Sadala, hoping they could send reinforcements. However, the Old Kami knew that the time they had left was too short, and the reinforcements from Planet Sadala might not be able to arrive in time. Therefore, the second option was to use Bulma's family's spaceship to send a group of Earthling away from Earth. Given the size of that disc-shaped spaceship, sending several thousand people away should not be a problem.

In addition, the place of Taishang Laojun at Five Elements Mountain can also accommodate some people, so even if the earth is destroyed, it will be enough to ensure that the Bloodline of Earthling continues.

Of course, because they knew there was another set of Dragon Ball on the distant Planet Namek, Krillin and the others weren't entirely desperate.

Even if Earth is truly destroyed, the power of the Dragon Ball can still revive them.

What Krillin and the others didn't know was that while the King Cold was rushing to Earth, the even more ruthless Emperor of the Universe Frieza was also hurrying back from the West Galaxy, his destination being Planet Namek.

East Galaxy.

On the Planet Metamor, the sky is pristine and spotless.

Planet Metamor is a renowned and mysterious planet in the East Galaxy, whose mystique is comparable to that of Planet Namek and Planet Yardrat in the Dragon Ball world.

In recent years, a force called the Askari Legion has risen in the East Galaxy region. Using the Devil's Den Star Sector Starfield as a springboard, the Askari Legion has been conquering everywhere and has become a well-known force in the East Galaxy. However, surprisingly, the Askari Legion, which has always been domineering, has an unusually harmonious relationship with the Planet Metamor. People often see warriors of the Askari Legion going to Planet Metamor for training.

On this day, several uninvited guests arrived on the long-peaceful Planet Metamor.

These uninvited guests totaled five people, all of whom had orange-yellow hair and light blue-green skin.

"Boss, is there really something we're looking for on this planet?" One of the five, a woman with orange curly hair, glanced around and asked indifferently.

"Don't rush, I can already sense that thing's call, it must be on this planet." The tall man, referred to as the boss, gave a cold laugh.

"Come on, let's snatch that thing together!"

"Heh, this Planet Metamor does have some experts. I've never heard of them before. It must be a planet that rose to prominence later." The short man in the red coat sensed the aura on the planet, a look of disdain appearing on his cold face.

"After all, we've been asleep for far too long, and many things in the world have changed. This time, thanks to someone, we actually broke the King Kai's seal. Hehe, if I have the chance to meet him, I must thank him properly."

"Hehe, enough talk, finding what we need is the most important thing."

The five chatted and laughed, their cold faces revealing arrogance. They took to the air and flew over mountains and hills, soon arriving at a plateau. Along the way, they encountered many aliens who were training on the Planet Metamor. The five smiled disdainfully and showed no intention of paying them any attention.

If Roland were here, he might recognize that the five people's appearances were exactly the same as those of the Alta he had seen. They were the Bojack Five, who had attempted to disrupt the peace of the Galaxy and were sealed away by the four King Kai using special means.

The plateau is covered in lush greenery, but compared to lower altitude areas, the green vegetation is significantly less.

They landed on the plateau and walked slowly for a while until a magnificent pyramid-shaped building came into view.

"Look, that's what we've been looking for, the Mefilada Tower!!"

Bojack broke into a smile and walked straight toward the Mefilada Tower.

As they approached the tower, a beautiful Metamoran blocked their way. Aodemore, seeing the five suddenly appear, said, "Gentlemen, the Spirit Tower is currently full. If you wish to enter, you will have to wait for the next batch."

"Heh, 1.8 million combat power, not bad. Looks like the person in charge here." Bojack stroked his chin with interest.

Zangya glanced at her and said dismissively, "I could kill her with one finger."

Bojack laughed loudly, "Don't be so rude, after all, he's the owner here..."

Zangya: "Tsk!"

Aodemore frowned as she looked at Bojack and his group. For some reason, a strange unease rose within her when she was facing them, which immediately put her on alert. The Metamoran possessed many magical secret arts, including the ability to predict crises.

P. S.: This is a two-in-one story of over four thousand words, so I won't split it into two chapters.
