As Son Goku relayed the words of Kami, the atmosphere shifted once again.
It was no longer as serious or heavy as it had been before.
Perhaps because everything had been laid out clearly and everyone now understood the current situation, their perspectives had broadened. Even with Kami appearing, it was no longer enough to shock those present.
Of course, one person remained completely bewildered.
That person was, naturally, Raditz.
The title of Kami left him utterly dumbfounded.
The word "god" was far too broad a term.
"Kakarot, are you serious? A god?! Does a planet like Earth actually have a legendary being like a god?" Raditz asked urgently.
Recalling the previous conversation between Kakarot and Piccolo, his brain cells began to burn with activity...
He finally reached a conclusion: that Namekian and the so-called Kami were originally one entity, only split into two for some reason.
In other words, that Kami was also a Namekian?
Raditz felt somewhat numb. He realized that everything he had seen and heard today had overturned his imagination. And now, a Namekian Kami had popped up? What was the meaning of this???
When it came down to it, this setting was essentially a bug in this world.
Kami was simply the god of a planet!
Furthermore, not every planet had a Kami; only special planets saw the birth of one.
Otherwise, in the Dragon Ball world, with its countless planets, there would be countless Kamis.
It could only be said that whether a planet birthed a Kami depended, first, on the planet's history of development, and second, on the state of life on that planet... and finally, of course, on whether there was a divine lineage.
By the standards of extraterrestrial powers, Earth was very small.
But though Earth was small, it touched upon every domain. Not only did it have connections to the Otherworld, but there were even people serving in the Otherworld... Earth even connected to many special planes, and it even bordered realms like the Demon Realm...
"Our Earth does indeed have a Kami. Though, I don't know how that compares to the god you're imagining, brother," Son Goku nodded and replied.
Immediately after, regardless of how shocked Raditz was, he looked toward Krillin, Master Roshi, and Bulma nearby.
Before he could even speak, Krillin and Master Roshi were already sighing with emotion.
"I never expected that Kami-sama would already know about the current situation? Does this mean he intends to guide our training as well?" Krillin said, somewhat excitedly.
Years ago, Goku trained under the guidance of Kami, and his strength increased explosively.
Although times have changed, in his eyes, Kami remains Kami—a figure standing high above.
"Since Kami has already made his plans, let's go together. It's just a pity that Yamcha and Tien Shinhan are nowhere to be found; otherwise... sigh!" Master Roshi said, unable to hold back a sigh.
As fellow martial artists and warriors who protect the Earth, Master Roshi believed that Yamcha and Tien Shinhan were capable of handling this mission.
At the very least, they were far better than an old man like him.
The ship of the era continues to sail forward, but he knows clearly that he has long since disembarked.
Even if he were to board the ship again now, it would be far too late.
"Speaking of which, I meant to ask earlier, but my brother's sudden arrival interrupted me. As for Tien Shinhan, given his personality, he should be traveling the world to train, right? What about Yamcha? Does Bulma know? Is there any way to contact him now?" Son Goku muttered, suddenly looking toward Bulma.
In their group, Bulma had always been with Yamcha. He had originally expected to see Yamcha at Kame House, but to his surprise, he only saw Bulma.
"Don't even mention him. I have no idea if that guy is dead or alive, hmph." Hearing Son Goku's persistent questioning, Bulma let out a soft huff and turned her head away.
The young lady's temper flared up, looking as if nothing anyone said would make a difference.
With the situation having developed to this point, she could have easily set aside their past grievances.
Perhaps because the plot had been altered by Lin Chuan—not only did Son Goku not die, but the current situation wasn't particularly dire—Bulma hadn't set aside her petty emotions to notify Yamcha as she had in the original story.
In the eyes of Lin Chuan, such a situation was an opportunity.
In the early stages of the Dragon Ball storyline, Bulma and Yamcha had been in a relationship that wasn't quite a romance.
Due to various factors, the two shared a relationship that felt like a first love but didn't quite fit the mold, making their bond completely different from that of an ordinary couple.
When it came down to it, they were simply two of the most incompatible people who had ended up together by a twist of fate.
And this "love" had lasted for a full decade.
Others might not know, but how could Lin Chuan, a transmigrator, be unaware of the truth?
In reality, it was her own heart playing tricks on her, causing Bulma to remain reluctant to let go, constantly giving Yamcha chances to turn over a new leaf and waiting for him to mend his ways.
After all, the early Bulma was naive enough to simply want to find a Prince Charming who was powerful, handsome, and cared for her.
As the first man to appear by her side who had both ability and looks, Yamcha became her boyfriend, and she had decided that he was the one she would spend her life with.
Therefore, even after being "betrayed" by Yamcha several times, she still gave him another chance in the end.
But the result was that Yamcha became increasingly worse, eventually transforming completely into a playboy.
Looking back at Yamcha's life, not only did he never marry or have children, but his life even ended up being incredibly bleak.
As for his relationships, Yamcha was also the first of the Z Fighters to be phased out, and after the Super era, he was even forgotten.
Son Goku would rather choose Master Roshi to participate in the Tournament of Power than even consider letting him compete.
In truth, if Yamcha had actually possessed a bit of sense, or if he had acted like a man, reined in his wandering eye just a little, and put in just a bit more effort, Bulma would never have been snatched away by Vegeta.
For Bulma, once she had set her heart on someone, she wouldn't change her mind easily.
It took over a decade of inner turmoil before she finally became completely disillusioned with Yamcha.
And later on, it just so happened that Vegeta, her destiny, appeared in her life...
Judging by this situation, the relationship between Bulma and Yamcha must have completely soured by now, right? If it weren't for Son Goku's death in the original story, I'm afraid Yamcha really wouldn't have had another chance to earn Bulma's forgiveness... Come to think of it, it was also from this point on that the relationship between Yamcha and Bulma headed toward a dead end. After all, even if Bulma were to forgive Yamcha later, they would still be separated for nearly two years due to the Saiyan invasion and Yamcha's death... Lin Chuan thought to himself, making his judgment.
Recalling the plot of the original story, is Yamcha pathetic?
He is indeed pathetic!
But it was truly his own doing.
Lacking the strength yet eager to show off, he always ended up being the first one to suffer a setback.
