Visitors from the Cosmos

Wang Yang watched with a calm expression as several figures descended from the spaceship: some had green skin, one was a one-horned lizard-man, another was a bird-man, and there was also a burly, brawny man who looked quite similar to a human.

"Greetings, strong ones of this planet!" Linge walked up to Paragus with a smile and extended his right hand in greeting. In his eyes, Wang Yang and Broly were only three or four years old, so he assumed the adult-looking Paragus must be the one in charge.

"Greetings!" Paragus hurried forward, shaking his hand with feigned excitement.

"While navigating through space earlier, we detected two individuals with a combat power of 15,000 here. We came to pay a visit, and if we could invite them to join our faction, that would be even better." Linge's tone was friendly—he had no choice, as his own highest combat power was only around 10,000, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone at 15,000.

"15,000?" Paragus cast a subtle glance at Wang Yang.

This guy's combat power has actually risen this much? Heaven is truly blind. If only this power belonged to me.

Linge aimed the scouter worn over his eye at Paragus.

3399!

Linge then turned his gaze toward Wang Yang and the other boy.

5! 6!

The scouter scanned the surrounding area again, but it only picked up a large crowd with a combat power of 5. Within a radius of a thousand miles, the highest reading was only 56, and as for the 15,000 combat power, it remained nowhere to be found.

"I wonder where those two adults with 15,000 combat power are? I would like to pay them a visit," Linge said, ignoring Wang Yang and his companion entirely as he smiled at Paragus.

"Could the scouter be broken?" Paragus's eyes darted around; he had no intention of revealing the truth.

"Broken?" Linge muttered, then immediately shouted an order to his subordinates.

"Check it for me! See if you can find anyone with a combat power of 15,000!"

"Yes!"

The surrounding subordinates nodded and scattered to search the area.

"Sir, I haven't detected anything on my side!"

"Nothing found on my side either."

The words of his subordinates convinced Linge that the spaceship's scouter was indeed malfunctioning. He relied too heavily on the device, never suspecting that the targets were capable of suppressing their power.

"I'll have those old fools fix the spaceship's scouter when we get back," Linge grumbled, annoyed at having wasted his time coming here.

"What is your name?" Linge's tone turned colder.

"My name is Paragus!" Paragus replied hurriedly.

"Paragus, I see your combat power isn't bad. Join our faction." Linge's tone left no room for negotiation. Ever since he realized the two 15,000-power individuals were non-existent, and seeing that Paragus's power was lower than his own, Linge reverted to his true nature, shedding his mask of civility.

If you agree, everything is negotiable; if you don't... heh!

"Hm? Very well, sir." Paragus paused for a moment, then lowered his head in agreement. No one noticed the cold glint that flashed through his eyes.

"When I landed just now, I noticed this planet has a nice environment, very suitable for living. If I sell it off, it should fetch quite a bit of money." Linge looked around with great interest.

Paragus understood what he meant; selling a planet meant exterminating all of its original inhabitants.

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes. Having lived on this planet for two years, he had grown deeply fond of it. Here, there was the respectable War Emperor, the adorable Little Yue'er, and several younger brothers who, though weak, were full of ambition.

Furthermore, the culture here was very similar to the ancient times of his previous life, which had once made him think he had transmigrated into the past. Therefore, he would not allow this place to be destroyed.

He would show no mercy to anyone who dared to destroy this planet.

"Sir, please do not destroy this planet." Paragus looked up and pleaded sincerely with Linge.

Has this guy had a change of heart? Wang Yang looked at Paragus in surprise, as if seeing him show a conscience for the first time.

Paragus glanced at Wang Yang and gave a bitter smile internally. I'm just afraid that if you lose your temper and kill them all, how will we fly the ship? How will we...

As a proud Saiyan, his nature would never change even in death; he remained the terrifying Saiyan of the universe—Paragus!

"Forget it, forget it. Don't worry. Join us, and we naturally won't treat you poorly. With your combat power, you can apply for protection from the home planet," Linge waved his hand and laughed heartily.

"That's good! That's good!" Paragus breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, since you have traveled from afar, please follow me. Let me host a banquet for you," Paragus invited.

"Haha, Paragus, you are truly thoughtful. If everyone on every planet were as obedient as you, things would be much easier," Linge laughed, feeling that Paragus was clever and efficient—he was certain that recruiting him was the right decision.

"Then we shall rest here for a day and set off tomorrow," Linge said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, the people from the spaceship filed out.

At Paragus's request, the banquet was meticulously prepared by the War Emperor—the War King had since ascended to become the War Emperor. With Wang Yang backing him, Paragus dared not refuse, though he held no respect for the emperor of such a barbaric place. His goal was the sea of stars; his goal was to conquer the universe.

"Xiao Yang, are they from the universe like you?" the War Emperor asked curiously in private, finding a spare moment.

"Yes, I will be leaving with them tomorrow," Wang Yang said with a sigh. Although the scenery and culture here were attractive, his goal was the sea of stars, the pinnacle of the universe. If he stayed on this planet forever, without enemies or the clash of other intelligences, how could he grow? He had to step out. If he missed this opportunity, who knew when another spaceship would arrive?

Once he left, he would find a way to obtain his own spaceship, and then he could roam the universe, going wherever he pleased. The Wish Dragon Balls, King Kai's Fist, Instant Transmission... just thinking about it made Wang Yang feel as if countless treasures were beckoning to him.

"Sigh! Children have their own destiny. Although I am very reluctant to see you go, if we want to make something of ourselves, we must go out and see the world. Without experiencing wind, rain, and setbacks, one can never grow into a towering tree." The War Emperor's gaze was distant, as if past memories were flashing through his mind like lightning.

If he hadn't left his village back then, perhaps he would still be in his hometown, married into a landlord's family, facing the yellow earth and sky every day while planting rice.

"Xiao Yang, if you have the chance in the future, you must come back to see me," the War Emperor said, feeling a pang of reluctance.

"I will, I promise I will come back!" Wang Yang nodded.

At the banquet, Paragus and Linge chatted happily, while Wang Yang sat in the distance, finished his meal in silence, and left.
