After some discussion, and under the guidance of Lin Chuan's words, the original deadlocked situation was brought back to life. Not only was the crisis of a fight to the death between brothers invisibly resolved, but a brand-new chapter had also begun.

Lin Chuan had altered the original trajectory of the plot, and in doing so, changed the fates of everyone present.

Son Goku and Raditz would no longer need to die, and Raditz would no longer suffer the joint counterattack from Son Goku and Piccolo.

Of course, this was on the condition that Raditz did not attack them either.

As long as Raditz did not commit acts harmful to Earth or its people, he would not be targeted, even if he were to stay on Earth from now on.

To be honest, the way things had developed to this outcome was quite unexpected.

But in a sense, it could be considered a happy ending for everyone.

After his exchange with Lin Chuan, a stimulated Raditz cast everything else aside.

Having abandoned his past, he even defied the orders given to him by Vegeta and Nappa from the other side of the galaxy.

He no longer wished to be an ant at the beck and call of Vegeta and Nappa.

Therefore, he had to become stronger!

As long as he possessed great strength, as long as his combat power doubled and doubled again, then, let alone Nappa, even Prince Vegeta would no longer be able to treat him as an expendable existence.

It was the achievements of Lin Chuan and Kakarot that had given Raditz hope.

Talent and hard work should coexist!

Raditz believed that his own talent was higher, so the level of strength he could reach through diligent training would be even greater.

Kakarot was born with a combat power of only 2, yet after his own hard work and training, he had reached a combat power of over a thousand, and even boasted that he could surpass him in a short time.

Lin Chuan was born with a combat power of only 50, yet now he possessed a combat power of 5,000—even stronger than Nappa.

Raditz was not stupid, nor was he an idiot.

He felt that if he also trained as hard as Lin Chuan and Kakarot, given his starting point and his innate talent, he could at least possess a combat power exceeding 5,000.

Perhaps, he might even exceed 10,000!

Of course, at this moment, Raditz only saw the bright side. He did not know that there were many ways to become stronger, and finding the best and most suitable method was the key.

Otherwise, if he just trained blindly and recklessly, the improvement he could achieve would naturally be minimal.

Otherwise, if just anyone could become strong by practicing casually, it would be meaningless.

Lin Chuan had spent over twenty years utilizing limited conditions to undergo countless forms of training just to raise his battle power to 15,000.

Lin Chuan would not tell anyone about this.

Raditz only assumed his battle power was a mere 5,000. If he knew just how strong he really was, he would likely be dumbfounded.

And if he knew that Lin Chuan had not only reached 15,000 battle power through his own arduous training but was now gaining 1 point of battle power every second, he would probably be scared to death.

Speaking of his current strength.

Including these twenty-plus minutes, Lin Chuan's battle power had already increased from 16,680 to 18,060, thanks to the 1 point per second gain from the Infinite Battle Power System.

A full increase of 1,380 points!

This level of battle power had already surpassed the Vegeta of the current era!

Furthermore, in about another half hour, his battle power would break through the 20,000 mark.

Admittedly, in the era of the great universe, having a battle power over 10,000 was just the baseline! A battle power of several tens of thousands was nothing more than an ant.

But a battle power of several tens of thousands, on any given planet, was considered absolutely powerful.

Unless, of course, it was one of those super planets or forbidden planets.

It must be said that only now did Lin Chuan have a tangible feeling of what it was like to improve every second.

It was fortunate that he was a transmigrator who had experienced over twenty years of hardship, tempering, and accumulation; otherwise, he really might have lost his way because of this.

Thinking of the legendary Super Saiyan Broly in this world, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of empathy.

The existence of the Legendary Super Saiyan meant becoming stronger every single moment.

It was no wonder Broly would lose his mind and go berserk because he couldn't control his power.

Even the slightest emotional fluctuation would cause him to lose control.

As strength increases, tempering one's state of mind must keep pace.

Currently, it wouldn't affect him, but in the long run, if Lin Chuan's state of mind didn't improve while his strength continued to grow, he might eventually fall into a state of constant madness.

The situation stabilized.

Piccolo utilized the Namekian ability of self-regeneration to restore his severed arm.

Such a flashy maneuver took both Son Goku and Raditz by surprise.

Even though Son Goku knew of Piccolo's capabilities, seeing this left him feeling truly incredulous.

Piccolo did not care about such gazes.

Seizing the opportunity, he turned to face Lin Chuan and asked, "You said before that I am a Namekian? What does that mean..."

As he asked the question, Piccolo's expression was grave.

Previously, the matter regarding Raditz had not yet been settled, but if he didn't ask now, he would be a fool.

With his intelligence and a combination of courage and strategy, Piccolo's question also drew the attention of Son Goku and Raditz.

Especially Son Goku; after learning he was an alien, he had initially found it hard to accept, but now that he heard Piccolo was also an alien, he actually began to look forward to it.

In fact, if one were to talk about aliens, Piccolo was the one who truly looked the part.

"It seems you are still unaware of your own identity. Come to think of it, the appearance of you Namekians is quite unique throughout the entire universe, and your race possesses very peculiar powers, such as the limb regeneration ability you just displayed..." Looking at Piccolo, Lin Chuan explained with a chuckle.

The reason he had pointed out Piccolo's identity earlier was to make him realize his own origins ahead of time.

This way, he wouldn't have to wait until a year later to learn of his heritage through Vegeta and the others.

Piccolo fell silent.

At the same time, the elderly Kami, who had been observing the scene from Kami's Lookout, also fell into deep contemplation.

Only at this very moment did they realize their true identities, feeling both emotional and filled with confusion.

Just imagine: you have always considered yourself a member of Earth's life forms, and suddenly one day, an alien arrives and tells you that you are from such-and-such planet. How would you react?

All things considered, Piccolo's ability to accept things was extremely strong, so he did not show any signs of refusing to believe it.

He gave a self-deprecating smile internally; once he understood that he was also an alien, he actually felt a sense of relief.

In the past, being confined to one planet had severely limited his perspective and knowledge.

Now, he had a new goal.

"I would like to ask, does my home planet... still exist?" A subtle light flickered in Piccolo's eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation.

"Fortunately, although Planet Namek suffered a great catastrophe many years ago, it was not destroyed. Unlike Earth, Planet Namek is orbited by three suns. The sky is not as blue as Earth's, the environment is not as pleasant, and because of the three suns, Planet Namek only has daylight and no night..."

As Lin Chuan recounted the information about Planet Namek from his memory, Piccolo took every word to heart.

To him, this was, after all, his home planet.

Hearing these descriptions, Son Goku was greatly astonished: "No night, only daylight? Doesn't that mean people don't have to sleep?"

At a time like this, to think of such a question—truly, one would expect nothing less from Son Goku.
