The information being revealed was piling up, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.
Without a doubt, the existence of a King Kai in this era could truly be considered one of the supreme beings.
But in reality, beings like King Kai would be considered bottom-tier once the story progressed further...
By the time the plot reached the Majin Buu arc, even the Supreme Kais were essentially obsolete.
Only the God of Destruction could truly be considered the supreme god of the universe.
Even if the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction were theoretically equal in rank, how could the strength of a Supreme Kai possibly compare to that of a God of Destruction?
Lin Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly at his own words.
He couldn't make King Kai sound too pathetic; otherwise, who would still be willing to accept his guidance and training?
Therefore, it was necessary to embellish and flatter King Kai a little.
Meanwhile, while everyone else was pleasantly surprised and lost in wild imagination, Kami looked at Lin Chuan with a blank expression.
I never expected him to know so much about the affairs of the King Kais, to know them in such detail... But how did he find out? Could it be that the Kami of another planet told him? Kami pondered inwardly.
Aside from that, there was no other possibility.
After all, apart from them, the Kamis, who knew of the Otherworld and the existence of King Kai, it was impossible for ordinary people, no matter how powerful, to know or come into contact with such things.
Unless they were dead and heard about it in the Otherworld...
As his thoughts deepened, Son Goku suddenly spoke up, pulling his consciousness back from his imagination.
"Lord Kami, how are we supposed to get to the Otherworld and reach King Kai?" Son Goku asked. "Is it really like what Krillin said, that we have to die first? I don't mind, after all, even if I die once, the Dragon Balls can revive me. But Krillin and Master Roshi can't; they've already died once! If they die again, Shenron won't be able to revive them, right?"
The fact that he could speak so nonchalantly about death showed just how simple-minded Son Goku was.
His words captured the attention of everyone present.
Raditz, in particular, widened his eyes in disbelief that the Dragon Balls could actually revive the dead.
"You don't need to worry about that! As Kami, although my combat ability is indeed no longer a match for yours, I am Kami, and I possess divine authority! I can take you across the boundary between the living and the dead and enter the Otherworld directly." Kami explained, then his expression turned serious.
Before Son Goku, Krillin, Master Roshi, or Yajirobe could look happy and say anything, he continued, "Going to the Otherworld is simple, and training with King Kai is the only way I can think of for you to become stronger as quickly as possible."
"However, not all of you can go to the Otherworld. Even as Kami, I can only send two living people to the Otherworld. That is already pushing the limits of King Yemma's patience. Therefore, among you, only two people can go to the Otherworld to learn from King Kai. Goku is one of them, and I believe none of you will have any objections... As for the other person..."
Kami's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone present.
It meant there was only one spot left to train with King Kai!
As for them, who could accompany Son Goku to study under a master...
Although only Krillin, Yajirobe, and Master Roshi were present, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu had been mentioned earlier.
They couldn't just keep it from them, could they?
The group fell into silence. Master Roshi gave Krillin a look, signaling him to quickly accept the spot.
As Krillin's master, he had always had Krillin by his side.
Son Goku was his proudest disciple, but he had always held Krillin close to his heart as well.
He knew this was one of the few opportunities for Krillin to become stronger, so he had to seize it.
If he could grasp this, both of his disciples would soar to great heights in the future.
"I understand, Master Roshi." Krillin immediately caught on.
However, just as he was about to speak to Kami, someone else beat him to it.
"There's one more spot, so let me go!!! You don't really think Earthlings can get that strong from training, do you? The only ones who can deal with us Saiyans are Saiyans ourselves! As for Frieza... heh!" Raditz's voice was incredibly overbearing.
Even Lin Chuan was surprised by his words.
Good grief, Raditz was volunteering; this was completely different from what he had imagined.
He had originally been wondering if he could facilitate Raditz and Son Goku going to train under King Kai together.
For one, it would gradually change Raditz's mindset and personality, and for another, if Raditz received guidance from King Kai, what would happen in the future? How strong would he become?
"Are you going, brother?" Son Goku paused for a moment, taken aback by Raditz's initiative.
For a moment, his mind was filled with scenarios he had never considered.
Off to the side, Krillin and Master Roshi had to suppress their temper, unable to lash out because of Raditz's words.
Who could blame them when the guy was just that strong?
But in their hearts, they believed that Kami would absolutely not agree to let Raditz go.
After all, he had only just arrived on Earth, and he had originally intended to invade it.
"Hey, old man Kami, I said I'm going to follow Kakarot to train under that King Kai. You don't have any objections, do you?" Raditz's conduct was still clearly filled with an air of intimidation.
This was a habit formed over many years. As a Saiyan who had followed Vegeta and Nappa to invade hundreds of planets, that arrogant, high-and-mighty mindset had long been ingrained in him and wouldn't change easily.
If Raditz had changed in the next second, even Lin Chuan would have to suspect whether he was a transmigrator who had possessed the body, just like him.
Kami Piccolo fell into deep thought.
To be honest, if there were any other way, he would not want to give such an opportunity to someone like Raditz, a heinous villain who invades planets!
But he also knew that Raditz was right.
Only a Saiyan can deal with a Saiyan!
Even if Earthlings were strong, they would likely have their limits.
Even if they could grow, it would require more time...
This point is clearly reflected in the gap between Son Goku and other martial artists.
I only hope that after this man goes to train with King Kai alongside Goku, he will be influenced by Goku and change.
Once the bond between the brothers is cultivated, it will naturally be for the best for the future of Earth.
Kami thought to himself.
This was his initial idea.
As for Lin Chuan, this Saiyan was too mysterious; he exuded an aura of uncontrollability on the surface.
"Since that is the case, you and Goku shall go to King Kai's place to train together. You are brothers, and Raditz, you have already turned over a new leaf. I believe that if you brothers join forces, perhaps you can achieve something extraordinary and become even stronger." Kami Piccolo nodded and said solemnly.
