Seeing this, the Namekian immediately led the other Namekians to see the Grand Elder.

Inside a three-story white castle sat a massive stone chair, and upon it sat a Namekian of immense girth; this was none other than the Grand Elder of the Namekians.

Just then, several Namekians suddenly flew in through the castle window.

Upon entering the castle, those Namekians immediately knelt before the Grand Elder.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

"Cal, what brings you here?"

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, there is a child named Son Gohan who says he comes from Earth. He wishes to see you, claiming he has matters concerning Namek that he needs to discuss!"

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment before speaking.

"In that case, bring him to me."

"But... Grand Elder, he appears to be a Saiyan!"

"It is fine, bring him here."

"As you command, Grand Elder!"

A long while later, Son Gohan was brought before the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, I have brought the person you requested!"

"Very well. You all may leave; I wish to speak with him alone."

"A... alone?"

Upon hearing this, Cal immediately felt a surge of worry.

"It is fine. This child is not a bad person."

"Very well, then!"

After saying this, Cal immediately led the other Namekians away.

"You are called Son Gohan, are you not?"

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

"Then, what is it you have come to see me about?"

"Grand Elder, do you believe that I come from the future?"

"I do."

After a moment of contemplation, the Grand Elder spoke slowly.

"Then, what is your true purpose here?"

"Grand Elder, Frieza and his forces may arrive on Namek in a few months!"

"Frieza!"

"Yes. Their goal is the Dragon Balls of Namek, so I have come to tell you that your people must relocate to escape this calamity!"

After listening, the Grand Elder fell into deep thought before speaking.

"The universe is vast, yet there will always come a day when we are found. Son Gohan, may I ask you for a favor?"

"Please, Grand Elder, speak."

"I would like you to help us defeat Frieza. Is that something you can do?"

"I can, but you must keep the secret of my origins from the future."

"Agreed."

The Grand Elder nodded.

"Additionally, I would like to ask the Grand Elder for a favor as well."

"What is it?"

"I would like you to unlock the potential within my body."

"Very well."

The Grand Elder agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately walked up to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder placed a hand upon Son Gohan's forehead, and a white aura flowed from his palm, surging throughout Son Gohan's entire body.

Upon sensing the immense potential within Son Gohan's body, a look of disbelief immediately appeared on the Grand Elder's face.

A few moments later, the Grand Elder slowly withdrew his right hand from Son Gohan's forehead.

"It is done."

Son Gohan nodded.

Just then, a voice from the system suddenly rang in Son Gohan's ears.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking 100 million in combat power. You have received the rewards: 20x Invulnerable Kaioken, Thornmail (60% damage reflection), and Evil Containment Wave!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a pink Thornmail immediately appeared in Son Gohan's inventory.

"Rewards distributed. Please continue to work hard on your cultivation, Host!"

"That's it? I've already broken 100 million?"

As Son Gohan spoke, he immediately opened his character panel to take a look.

He discovered that his current combat power had already reached 110 million.

"Then Son Gohan, when will you help us deal with Frieza?"

"Wait for him to come to Namek!"

"Wait for him to come over?"

"That's right. The universe is so vast, I have no idea where he is right now. Besides, we Saiyans cannot survive in the vacuum of space. We can only eliminate him once he descends onto a planet!"

"In that case, I will notify you the moment he arrives on Namek!"

"Alright. If the Grand Elder has no other business, I shall head back now?"

The Grand Elder nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and departed from Namek.

Not long after Son Gohan left, the Grand Elder immediately called Cal and the others inside.

"Grand Elder, where is Son Gohan?"

"He has already returned to Earth!"

"He went back?"

"Yes, but he brought back news that is of vital importance to our planet Namek!"

"Vital importance!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

Returning to Earth, Son Gohan felt incredibly relaxed.

Based on his original cultivation progress, it would have taken at least ten days or more to break 100 million.

Yet now, he had achieved it in just a few minutes.

"It would be great if I could get stronger without having to cultivate!"

"Host, that is an incorrect way of thinking. Only by becoming stronger through your own hard work can you be a true powerhouse!"

"But I just want to be a natural-born powerhouse, like Broly!"

"Host, although Broly's bloodline is strong, he is ultimately just a human. I, however, can help you become a god, granting you an endless lifespan!

Also, didn't you say before that you wanted to obtain Zeno's erasure ability? As long as you work hard, by then, let alone erasing universes, even creating space-time and universes will not be a problem!"

After hearing this, Son Gohan rubbed his chin with his right hand.

"System, you aren't trying to swindle me, are you?"

"Host, am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"..."

"Also, System, you seem a bit talkative!"

"Host, are you complaining that I talk too much?"

"No, I just think it would be better if you were a bit quieter!"

"Telling a myth, speaking of such a family..."

Upon hearing this, the system immediately began playing music.

"Host, I should be very quiet like this, right?"

"..."

A short while later, Son Gohan returned to his room, where a laptop was placed.

This laptop was one Son Gohan had borrowed from Bulma to "study" computers.

Though Son Gohan claimed he borrowed it, he actually used it to write programs whenever he was bored.

Recently, he had been working on a game called Sheep a Sheep.

This was a game that had been extremely popular in his past life. It was somewhat similar to match-three games, but unlike them, many of the tiles in Sheep a Sheep were stacked underneath, making it impossible to see what was hidden below. Furthermore, to reveal the tiles underneath, you first had to clear the tiles on top.

Moreover, the game only had two levels to start with, and many people stayed up all night without ever being able to clear that second level.

It is precisely because of this that many people who consider themselves smarter than others would challenge this game, using it as a way to show off.

Son Gohan had another purpose in creating this game, which was to make money.

Although the Son Goku household was wealthy, the appetites of both him and Son Goku were truly astonishing; if it weren't for the fact that they lived in the mountains where wild game and delicacies were abundant, their family would have long since eaten themselves into poverty.

This is also the reason why Chi-Chi, in the original Dragon Ball story, always hoped that Son Gohan would study hard and earn money.
