Located in the Pana Star Cluster of the North Galaxy was a planet three times larger than Earth, yet with an extremely similar environment. The only difference was that it had three moons orbiting it!
Its star was also nearing the end of its life. It glowed dark red, with sunspots erupting all over its surface!
At that moment, inside a towering palace at the center of the planet—
"My king, I suggest we contact the Frieza Force and buy a planet suitable for us to live on!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Everyone knows how brutal the Frieza Force is. Forget buying a planet from them—if they even learn of our world, they'll probably attack us outright!"
"Right Minister, though the Frieza Force is notorious for its brutality, they do have a good reputation when it comes to business. After all, selling planets is what they do. Surely they wouldn't ruin their own business?"
"My king, the Left Minister is mistaken. As I understand it, many races whose home worlds faced an Ice Age bought planets from the Frieza Force. But after the purchase, most of those planets were conquered by the Frieza Force! Their races were wiped out. The Left Minister's intentions are plain for all to see!" The Right Minister raised his head, speaking with fiery indignation.
The ministers beneath the throne were divided into two factions, trading arguments amid a clamor of voices!
"Enough! All of you, shut up! The star has ten years left before it dies. We'll discuss this again later. Right Minister, Left Minister, stay behind. The rest of you may leave!" The man on the throne waved a hand, dismissing them.
"As you command!"
The ministers filed out of the hall, leaving the two ministers and the man on the throne behind.
On closer inspection, the people of this race looked no different from humans on Earth. The only difference was the extra eye between their brows!
"My Three-Eyed God Clan are descendants of the gods. Our civilization has a history of tens of thousands of years! I believe that the mere end of a star won't bring us down. Left Minister, I order you to make tentative contact with the Frieza Force and find out whether a deal is possible. If anything seems amiss, do not reveal the location of Three-Eyed Star, even if it costs you your life. Right Minister, I order you to travel to the major states, gather our scattered people, and inform them of the danger posed by the star's impending death. Then, take a spaceship and search for a new planet!"
"As you command, my king!" The two ministers did not argue this time. Perhaps the Three-Eyed King's orders were the most balanced course of action: prepare for both possibilities!
The Three-Eyed King was also the chief of the Three-Eyed Tribe!
The Three-Eyed Tribe was much like the Namekians: both races kept to themselves. But the Three-Eyed Tribe reproduced far more easily, and were mammals!
Combined with Three-Eyed Star's advantages, its population exceeded Earth's, numbering around eight billion!
It was worth mentioning that the Three-Eyed Aliens were also exceptionally strong fighters. Even newborn babies had a battle power of over a hundred!
As adults, those with great talent could reach tens of thousands!
Even the less gifted could reach several thousand!
As the king of the Three-Eyed Tribe, the Three-Eyed King had a battle power of several hundred thousand!
In Era 737, Frieza officially took over his father's Kurd Army. After claiming the throne, he renamed it the Frieza Force. That was also the year Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza!
The Three-Eyed Tribe possessed an ability no other race had: they could predict the future!
Of course, they could only predict some possibilities!
After Frieza officially took over, the Three-Eyed King used his innate ability to glimpse part of the future. He then closed the borders, cutting off contact between Three-Eyed Star and other planets!
This allowed them to live in peace for more than twenty years!
Son Gohan was born in Era 757, and he was now almost three years old!
The year was about to become Era 760!
Around this time, a crisis arose on Three-Eyed Star. The crisis, of course, was not the planet itself, but the star that gave it life, which was nearing the end of its life!
At that moment, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission to arrive directly on Three-Eyed Star!
The reason, of course, was Thunder Steel. He had asked King Kai where he could find it, and King Kai had told him that Thunder Steel could only form when a star neared the end of its life, its core cooled, and it collapsed!
Using the Seventh Universe Star Chart in his mind, Son Gohan had also located a star on the verge of destruction!
He chose to land on Three-Eyed Star, taking care to find an uninhabited area!
"This star looks like it'll take more than ten years to collapse and explode! Am I supposed to wait here for over a decade?" Son Gohan muttered, looking up at the sun.
But a moment later, he came up with a solution: destroy it himself and hasten the sun's demise!
The sun was already a wreck, riddled with cracks. All it needed was a small trigger to set off its own destruction!
But he wasn't crazy. Just by looking at the planet, he could tell that it still had inhabitants. If he destroyed the sun carelessly, everyone living here would die!
After thinking it over for a moment, Son Gohan carefully sensed the planet, searching for its strongest person!
"Not bad. The strongest has a battle power of several hundred thousand, and most of the people have over a thousand. Quite a few even have tens of thousands! This is a race with great combat talent! But why had I never heard of them in my past life? It seems there are still many unknown things in the Dragon Ball World!" After marveling at this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and appeared right in front of the Three-Eyed King!
The Three-Eyed King was sitting alone on his throne, looking troubled!
"Could the Three-Eyed Tribe really go extinct under my watch?"
"Perhaps I can help you!" Son Gohan appeared without a sound.
With the Three-Eyed King's thoughts in disarray, he didn't notice Son Gohan until he spoke!
"Who are you?!" As the ruler of a planet and leader of his people, the Three-Eyed King didn't panic. Instead, he released a wave of pressure!
"I came to see whether your race is worth saving," Son Gohan said calmly.
"Arrogant! The fate of my people is not for outsiders to decide!"
The Three-Eyed King flew into a Rage at his words. He sprang to his feet, his aura surging as terrifying orange flames swirled around him!
After sensing him carefully, Son Gohan found that his battle power was around eight hundred thousand!
"Not bad, not bad. You'd count as a strong fighter in the North Galaxy!" Son Gohan paid no mind to his oppressive aura.
"Explain who you are, or don't blame me for attacking!" The Three-Eyed King floated down and faced Son Gohan.
Boom!!!
Son Gohan unleashed his full base battle power. The pressure of five million battle power was more than the Three-Eyed King, with his mere hundreds of thousands, could withstand!
He was instantly blown backward onto his throne!
Beep—woo! Beep beep beep beep!!!!
Son Gohan's power instantly set off the palace's piercing alarm!
The palace's powerful fighters rushed over one after another. The Right Minister and Left Minister had barely left the palace when the alarm summoned them back!
"Protect the king!!!"
The hall doors flew open, and powerful members of the Three-Eyed Tribe who had been in seclusion rushed in!
The moment they entered, they gathered their strength, ready to attack Son Gohan!
"All of you, stand down! You're no match for him!" the Three-Eyed King shouted.
"Sky-Eye King???" the oldest elder asked in confusion.
Each Three-Eyed King had a special title. This generation's title was Sky-Eye!
"Grand Elder, tell the other elders to leave. You and the Right Minister and Left Minister stay!" Sky-Eye King waved his hand.
The palace alarm fell silent at once!
"As you command, Sky-Eye King!" The Grand Elder could only obey.
"Not bad. You're pretty clever!"
Once the others had left, Son Gohan spoke.
"Powerful visitor from afar, please tell me why you've come. I sense no malice from you. Of course, if you intend to harm my Three-Eyed God Clan, we'll fight to the death!" Sky-Eye King said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Clap, clap, clap!!
"Heh... No wonder you're the king of a race. You really are different!" Son Gohan applauded.
The Right Minister and Left Minister stood guard in front of him as Sky-Eye King sat back on his throne.
The Grand Elder stood at his right.
"You're going to talk to me from up there?" Son Gohan asked.
"Bring him a seat!"
"No need!"
Son Gohan slowly rose into the air and sat cross-legged, floating just a little higher than Sky-Eye King.
