Born a Saiyan, fighting heaven and earth was my nature, and pursuing the supreme peak was my destiny.

A wheel capable of traversing the Heavens and Myriad Realms carried him from the world of martial arts, step by step, toward the supreme peak.

Was Super Saiyan God the pinnacle of the Saiyans?

No. What I pursued was the boundless Way of Martial Arts and Super Saiyan transformations.

Super Saiyan 4 was only the beginning.

My path did not lie in the Dragon Ball World, but in the even more powerful Great Thousand World.

Defying Heaven in Journey to the West, roaming through Swallowed Star, traveling freely in Shrouding the Heavens, setting foot in the Primordial World, and Severing the Dao in Divine Tomb.

Chapter 001: Prologue, The Beginning of Everything

Before Heaven and Earth were separated, Grandmist had already evolved many Sources of the World on its own. Among them, the most famous was the Chaos World, which stood above the rest. But the Chaos World was not the most powerful of the Sources of the World created by Grandmist. To be precise, every Source of the World tended toward developing into Grandmist.

Time meant nothing in Grandmist. After an unknown number of billions upon billions of Grandmist eras, the Primordial Purple Qi within Grandmist itself, having given birth to too many Sources of the World, began to approach the brink of dispersal.

Over those countless Grandmist eras, several of the more powerful Sources of the World nurtured by Grandmist had grown first. They were the Chaos World, the first to be nurtured by Grandmist; the Twelve Universes; the Myriad Gods Plane; the Sands of Worlds; and the Three Thousand Worlds...

On the brink of Grandmist's destruction, its primal consciousness transformed the remaining Primordial Purple Qi into a Grandmist Supreme Artifact. But the artifact's appearance hastened Grandmist's destruction. After only a few eras, Grandmist shattered. As for that Grandmist Supreme Artifact, apart from the primal consciousness of Grandmist, which had vanished completely, no one knew of its existence!

When Grandmist shattered, no longer constrained by it, all the Sources of the World scattered in every direction. Only the Chaos World remained where Grandmist had shattered, inheriting that stretch of empty space. And so came the saying: "When Grandmist shattered, Chaos emerged!"

When Grandmist shattered, that Grandmist Supreme Artifact also vanished into the void, its whereabouts unknown!

As time passed, the Chaos World was gravely wounded by Pangu's Heaven Opening and vanished without a trace. Only some scattered fragments of Chaos remained beyond the newly created Primordial World.

After the Primordial World was created, the mighty beings of every faction displayed their divine powers, and the Tribulations began. The First Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was led by the Chaos Demon Gods, initiating the first great Tribulation of the Primordial World: the First Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation. Demon Ancestor Luohu was defeated, and the other Chaos Demon Gods fell one after another. Apart from Hongjun, who achieved sainthood during the Tribulation, only a few Chaos Demon Gods escaped. The Phoenix Clan was forever stationed in the south, the Qilin Clan forever stationed at the center of Heaven, and the Dragon Clan withdrew to the seas, bringing rain to the Primordial World and guarding its boundless oceans. Before long, all three clans had fallen into decline!

After the First Tribulation ended, the Primordial World entered a new era. Though it could not match the splendor of the time before the First Tribulation, Golden Immortals were common, Great Luos were everywhere, and Quasi-Saints counted as masters. The Witches and Demons gradually grew powerful. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun, the two Demon Emperors, were dissatisfied with the status quo and sought to seize the Primordial World, while the Ancestral Witches, formed from Pangu's twelve drops of essence blood, also intended to rule it.

The Second Tribulation began. The Demons ruled the heavens, and the Witches ruled the earth. Once all the Saints had gathered, the Witches and Demons finally went to war. In the War of the Witches and Demons, the Ancestral Witches were wiped out, and the two Demon Emperors perished. Besides them, nine out of ten elite members of both clans were killed. In the end, their battle even toppled Buzhou Mountain, sending the waters of the Heavenly River flooding down.

After the War of the Witches and Demons, the Primordial World enjoyed a long period of peace before the Third Tribulation arrived.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation began, and the Three Teachings went to war. Though the Primordial World no longer enjoyed its former glory, it was still an age when Mysterious Immortals were as common as dogs and Golden Immortals could be found everywhere. Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints...

In that battle, the Primordial World's strength plummeted, and the Interception Sect was destroyed. Tongtian Jiaozhu furiously set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and challenged two Saints: Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun. But he did not know that the two had already colluded with outsiders. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, said to be breakable only by four Saints, was finally shattered when Zhunti and Jieyin, the two great Saints, joined the battle.

The battle of the Five Saints shattered the Primordial World. At last, Hongjun intervened to stop them, and the Saints joined forces to repair the Primordial World. After much effort, the Primordial World was divided into the Three Realms: the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Living World. Sadly, although the Primordial World had been saved, it could never regain its ancient splendor. The innate energy dissipated, and postnatal energy spread throughout the Three Realms.

Because of this, the Saints were imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace and forbidden to leave until the immeasurable Tribulation!

The Fourth Tribulation began. After the previous Tribulations, this one was clearly much smaller. The Journey to the West was not only meant to spread Buddhism eastward, but also to dispel the boundless hostility between Heaven and Earth. Sadly, another change occurred. Near the end of the Journey to the West, Moro Wutian appeared—the inheritor of Demon Ancestor Luohu from ages past. With the Saints imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace, Moro Wutian was finally slain after a harrowing ordeal, though all ended without disaster,

Sadly, after that battle, although the boundless hostility between Heaven and Earth had been dispelled, Moro Wutian's appearance had caused much of it to seep into the Mortal Realm. The immortals and Buddhas of the Heavens did everything they could to save the Living World, but in the early Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang seized the Dragon Vein of the land to secure his reign, extinguishing the immortals' hopes of saving it.

As the hostility in the Living World grew ever thicker, the immortals and gods had no choice but to return to the Earthly Immortal Realm. With so many immortals and gods gone, Heaven and the Earthly Immortal Realm also severed all ties with the Living World. Cultivating the Dao and becoming an immortal in the Living World became an utter impossibility! From that point onward, the orthodox line of immortals and gods gradually disappeared from the Living World.

In the late Ming dynasty, demons ran rampant, and evil deeds flourished. It became difficult to tell right from wrong in the world. Before long, the Ming dynasty fell. The Manchu cavalry entered through the passes and began several centuries of rule. By the end of the Qing dynasty, the hostility that had never fully faded resurfaced, and Huaxia was once again devastated.

And our story begins on this planet...

Chapter 002: The Beginning of a Legend, the Time and Space Dragon Ball

Several decades later...

The night in Xia City was ablaze with lights, and people came and went along the streets. In an apartment building that housed a hotel, a slightly chubby shut-in sat in front of his computer, watching a Dragon Ball battle scene. He was so excited, he looked as if he were firing a gun!

Lin Feng was a shut-in. Besides working as a chef at a small hotel, he also wrote online. He was no great author, but his novel, iPartment: Roaming Freely, was a featured urban novel on the website, earning him a little money to get by. It was just enough to make ends meet.
