"So this is Earth. It's a bit different, but it's still Earth!"
Muttering these words, Lin Chuan felt a deep sense of emotion.
In his previous life, he was a human from Earth. In this life, he transmigrated to become a Saiyan, and later spent twenty-five years on that apocalyptic planet. However, Earth remained his deeply rooted home in his heart.
As the saying goes, first impressions are the most lasting.
Although these were two different Earths in two different worlds, there were, more or less, similarities.
He opened his arms to embrace this world, ready to integrate into this version of Earth.
For him, the future was a smooth path.
After breathing in enough fresh air, Lin Chuan soared across mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.
He not only saw the landscape of this world but also the creatures that inhabited this Earth.
There were those he was familiar with, and those he was not. There were even animals that had long been extinct on the Earth of his past life, such as various dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, and other ancient beasts.
It wasn't until he had galloped hundreds of miles across the ocean, kicking up a thousand layers of waves, that Lin Chuan suddenly stopped this frantic release of energy.
It wasn't for any other reason than the fact that the Scouter worn over his right eye had emitted an alarm.
This was part of the inventory he had obtained three months ago when he hijacked the spaceship of a Frieza Force advance soldier.
He wasn't afraid of being discovered. Even though this device had interstellar communication capabilities, it had significant flaws.
The first was the lack of identity verification. Unless one logged into a personally registered account, the channel could not be shared. Therefore, even if you used someone else's Scouter, as long as you didn't log in, no one would notice you, nor would they know who you were. Anyone who put one on could use it.
The second was the sheer vastness of the universe. A single galaxy was already unimaginably huge; as long as you were sufficiently far away, you would simply be ignored. With countless Scouters in range, why would anyone pay attention to just one measly device?
The same applied to the spaceship.
Although they had identification numbers, in reality, unless you were a target specifically marked for surveillance, you wouldn't receive any special attention.
Lin Chuan had made detailed guesses and analyses regarding this point back then.
Unless you actively reached out, you wouldn't be actively found.
When he first arrived on Planet V3114, although the spaceship was damaged and incapable of interstellar travel, its internal communication functions had remained operational for ten years before finally succumbing to wear and tear, along with the Scouter...
He had received the news of the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
At the time, he had worried for a long time whether the Frieza Force would come to kill him to eliminate any future trouble. That was why he dared not initiate any contact, fearing he would expose his whereabouts.
This worry lasted for a full year before it finally began to fade.
From this, Lin Chuan roughly understood that although the Frieza Force exterminated the Saiyans and would dispatch elite units to hunt down those off-world, as long as one could survive in the shadows, it was possible to escape the catastrophe of genocide.
After all, how many Saiyan infants were sent off-world in the original story?
The number might not have been in the hundreds of thousands or millions, but it was definitely over ten thousand!
Yet, the number of Saiyans who survived later on was only the few who appeared on the surface.
Perhaps there were others in the universe, but there would certainly be no more than could be counted on two hands.
Therefore, it was certain that a Saiyan like him would either die in a harsh environment, be killed by hidden experts or lethal weapons on a planet, or successfully conquer a planet only to be discovered and wiped out by the Frieza Force upon reporting back.
The only ones Frieza allowed to live were actually just Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz.
Furthermore, regarding Broly, Paragus, and Vegeta's younger brother Tarble, who only appeared later in the original series...
They were merely living low-key, clinging to life, which is why they were never discovered and exterminated.
Otherwise, Broly would have taken the stage much earlier, and Tarble would have certainly died!
Lin Chuan did not believe that Frieza would be kind enough to keep Prince Vegeta as a lapdog while also keeping a useless little prince around for amusement.
"Two thousand eight hundred kilometers to the southwest... there are people with power levels over one thousand fighting?"
"Power level 416..."
"Power level 1330..."
"Power level 1307..."
"Power level 1500... wait, 1307 dropped to 1??? 1500 dropped to 1345..."
"Hiss~~! Could it be..."
As the familiar data appeared on his scouter, Lin Chuan stood stunned for a moment.
He had been too excited before, forgetting to use his Ki to sense the situation across the entire Earth to determine what stage the plot had reached.
In fact, Lin Chuan could roughly guess, because based on the time since the explosion of Planet Vegeta, today should be the era when the grand universe saga was about to begin.
He was 25 years old this year, two years older than Son Goku, which meant Son Goku was currently 23.
23 years old... wasn't this the turning point of fate?
Coupled with the progression of the plot, Lin Chuan immediately thought of who these fighting energy signatures belonged to.
Son Goku, Piccolo, Son Gohan... and the key figure who opened the chapter of a new era, Raditz!
"Good grief, looks like I've caught a good show, and it seems it's almost over." Lin Chuan's eyes widened, his pupils darting around. He couldn't let such a perfect opportunity slip by.
He had thought about what he would do and how he would develop after arriving on Earth. Although those fantasies had vanished into thin air over the past 25 years, there was now a chance to let the Z Fighters on Earth know of his existence and, in turn, accept him.
Overcome with excitement, Lin Chuan didn't hesitate. He immediately flared his aura and shot straight toward his destination.
His speed was immense, reaching nearly 30,000 meters per second—a hundred times the speed of sound!
The sound barrier shattered repeatedly, as if it were about to tear the void apart.
To him, Raditz was a stepping stone into the circle of the Z Fighters!
How could he let this pass?!
Even though he was also a Saiyan, he was his own man!
By taking this opportunity to save Son Goku, he would not only change the plot but also integrate himself into the group.
Setting aside the idea of building good relationships with all the Z Fighters, the fact remained that he had arrived on Earth in this era, and there were many people and things he could intercept.
And to intercept certain people, he needed an absolutely perfect identity.
Take the heroine Bulma, for instance—how could he let her go? How could he not intercept her?
Lin Chuan was a realist. Before he transmigrated, he had fantasized about what he would do if he ever traveled through time. Now that he had truly arrived in the Dragon Ball world and had so many opportunities, strength was a necessity, and women were indispensable.
If this were the Lin Chuan from three months ago, he would indeed have held no hope for the future.
But fate loved to play jokes; three months ago, it sent him that Frieza soldier, and through that, it made him who he was today.
As for Vegeta, he could only say he was sorry!
No!
In this real world, since he had arrived, things could no longer be calculated according to the original story!
It was his life; why should he care what others thought about what he chose to do?!
