Otherworld! World King! Adding Fuel to the Fire

"Although Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha aren't here, everyone else has arrived, so I won't beat around the bush. I'll get straight to the point."

"To deal with the crisis arriving in a year—which may even involve the Universe Emperor Frieza that you all mentioned—I know clearly that you must all grow stronger at the fastest possible speed..."

"As the Kami of Earth, I know of a special place where a master resides. With my authority, I can recommend you go there to train."

"I believe that with that master's guidance, whoever goes will see their strength increase significantly in a short period of time!"

As Kami Piccolo spoke, Son Goku and Krillin were immediately filled with excitement.

Since Kami had said so, it certainly couldn't be false.

If that were the case, even if those two Saiyans were truly heinous, they would have the power to handle them themselves once they arrived on Earth, without needing to rely on Lin Chuan's strength.

"Um, Lord Kami, who is this master you're talking about? And where is he? Is there really such a master on our Earth?" Son Goku asked eagerly.

He had never heard of such a person, nor had he ever seen one.

As one of the top martial artists on Earth, how could he not be excited to hear this news?

At this moment, Son Goku did not know that the person Kami Piccolo was talking about was not a resident of Earth.

Because of these words, not only Son Goku, but Krillin, Yajirobe, and Master Roshi all pricked up their ears.

Raditz also heard everything clearly. He frowned, feeling surprised once again.

This Kami was being far too bold.

It was one thing to say this was to prevent the invasion of Nappa and Vegeta, but to involve Frieza as well... what kind of concept was that?!

Lin Chuan also hadn't expected Kami Piccolo to say all this right now.

He was about to expose King Kai.

"Goku, you really need to change your temperament! Because if you go to see this being in your current state and are disrespectful, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to receive his guidance."

"He is also a god! And his divine rank is far above mine as the Kami of Earth."

"As for where he is? I'm afraid it will shock you to hear it. Because this god is a supreme being residing in the Otherworld! He is our North Galaxy's most supreme—Lord King Kai!"

As Kami Piccolo spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious.

"K-King Kai? The O-Otherworld???" Son Goku looked at Kami Piccolo in shock, finding it hard to believe.

Although he was very curious about what kind of being this King Kai was, how were they supposed to get there if he was in the Otherworld?

That was the world of the dead, after all...

"The Otherworld? Isn't that the world of the dead?!"

"Could it be... Lord Kami, are you planning to send us to the world of the dead?"

"Or are you saying that we have to die first, and then go to the Otherworld to train under that King Kai..."

Krillin's face turned pale with fright; he was completely bewildered.

He had died once before and had even been to the Otherworld...

It was only later that he was resurrected by Shenron and returned to the world of the living.

Beside him, Yajirobe was clearly terrified as well. He had no desire to die.

"The world of the dead? The Otherworld? The supreme... King Kai of the North Galaxy? What is all this?!" Raditz listened to Kami Piccolo's explanation, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. He almost thought he was dreaming.

He knew nothing about any of this.

Since coming to Earth, his worldview had been constantly shattered. Now, even the world of the dead had appeared, along with some supreme King Kai...

Having fought in the universe for many years, he felt as if he had lived in vain.

"King Kai... I have heard of his existence. So, Kami of Earth, is this the plan you had in mind when you summoned us here?" Lin Chuan's sudden interjection caught everyone by surprise.

In that moment, Lin Chuan once again gave off the impression that he knew everything.

Kami Piccolo, in particular, found it hard to imagine what kind of existence Lin Chuan truly was. As a Saiyan, he actually knew of the existence of King Kai!

"Lin Chuan, you know of Lord King Kai?"

"So, this so-called King Kai is truly powerful, and he can guide us to become stronger?"

There was a sense of urgency in Son Goku's words.

He also wanted to learn some information about King Kai from Lin Chuan.

If even Lin Chuan said that this King Kai was extraordinary, then it must be true.

"As far as I know, our universe is divided into four galaxies, and there are four corresponding King Kais: the East, South, West, and North King Kais, who govern the four galaxies! We are currently in the North Galaxy! So, what your Kami is talking about is for you to go find King Kai."

"Among the King Kais, King Kai is indeed quite capable and has his own methods."

Lin Chuan's explanation was simple and clear. It didn't seem like much information, yet it still left everyone present stunned.

It could be said that Lin Chuan was adding a bit of flavor to the story.

Otherwise, the plot wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.

It was necessary for Son Goku and the others to go train with King Kai, but he certainly wouldn't go, nor did he need to.

"Is... is this for real? Talos, this existence known as a King Kai, they each govern one of the four galaxies of our universe???" Raditz couldn't believe it, questioning him sharply.

Seeing Lin Chuan nod, Raditz took a deep breath.

Having spent his life campaigning across the universe and invading various planets, and being a member of the Frieza Force, Raditz naturally knew just how vast the universe was. The North Galaxy alone was unimaginably large.

The four galaxies of the universe—these were no ordinary galaxies.

Take the North Galaxy, for example: it was known to contain tens of thousands of massive star sectors. Within a single star sector, there were hundreds of millions of star systems, and within each star system, there were countless galaxies...

By comparison, he suddenly felt how foolish he had been until this very moment.

He was like a frog at the bottom of a well.

A new concept took root, leading him to compare King Kai with Frieza.

He suddenly felt that this King Kai must be even more powerful than Frieza!

Raditz had no way of knowing that he was overthinking it.

Governing was one thing, but it didn't necessarily mean one's personal strength was overwhelming.

"S-so, this Lord King Kai, he's really that powerful then?!"

"Governing a quarter of the universe—this is just too incredible!" Son Goku reacted, his blood beginning to churn and boil.

To be able to study under such a super-existence was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity!

As Son Goku's consciousness awakened to the situation, Krillin, standing to the side, grew excited as well.

His brain was actually sharper than Son Goku's; if he didn't understand the implications by now, he would be a fool.

He, too, was a martial artist who longed to become stronger; how could he be content with the status quo?

The atmosphere began to change...
