At this moment, Shenron said that your wish had been granted, and told them to go ahead and state their third wish.

The Namekian spoke up to express his gratitude, and then prepared to tell Shenron that they had no further wishes to make.

Wei Dong spoke up then, asking if they really wanted to skip the third wish, noting that since they had already summoned the dragon, they might as well use it, or at least let him ask a question first.

Wei Dong then told the Namekian to ask Shenron if it was possible to grant the wish of immortality.

The Namekian felt he had no choice; after all, since the boy had just granted them such a favorable wish, he felt embarrassed to refuse, especially since the previous wish had been to their benefit.

Shenron replied that he did not currently possess such an ability.

Wei Dong then said that if immortality wasn't possible, something that could extend one's lifespan would also suffice, and if that were possible, they should make that wish instead; the Namekian then relayed this to Shenron.

Shenron's eyes glowed red, and a bottle of black water appeared in mid-air; Shenron then spoke, saying that the water inside could extend one's life by several hundred years.

Wei Dong happily drank half of it and saved the rest, intending to give the other half to the Grand Elder, as Wei Dong's battle power would never have reached 1314 if not for him.

Shenron then vanished into thin air, scattering into many orbs that flew off in different directions.

The elders all went to search for their respective Dragon Balls, as they had scattered and flown away after the dragon disappeared.

Wei Dong then ran to the Grand Elder's home and gave him the water to drink; the Grand Elder spoke slowly, asking, "Young man, why have you done this?"

Wei Dong replied, "I have a feeling that a crisis will befall the Namekians within a few years. Grand Elder, I know you can give birth to combat-type Namekians, and I hope you will produce a few more to help survive this disaster."

The Grand Elder was startled, "Very well, young man, I understand."

Wei Dong then added, "Grand Elder, once the Dragon Balls are ready again, I suggest you wish for a pocket dimension where you can spend a long time inside, while only a short time passes outside."

The Grand Elder asked, "Does such a thing really exist?"

Wei Dong said, "It certainly exists, though I'm not sure if Shenron can grant such a wish."

"Goodbye, Grand Elder, I want to go out and gain some experience," Wei Dong said with a hint of reluctance.

The Grand Elder was stunned, "Young man, are you leaving?"

Wei Dong replied, "Yes, I want to go out and see the world. I appeared on this planet at thirteen for no reason and haven't seen anything outside yet; I want to see the world beyond."

"Goodbye, Grand Elder." The Grand Elder stood outside watching him leave; having regained his youth, he was now able to walk.

Wei Dong looked back at the Grand Elder and said, "No need to see me off."

After saying this, Wei Dong entered his spaceship, asked the system for Earth's coordinates, and pressed start.

Wei Dong prepared to train, starting at 8x gravity. Even at 8x gravity, Wei Dong found it difficult to train. Damn it, why do I feel like a giant fat man?

The ship announced that it would take two days to reach Earth. Wei Dong was surprised it was so fast—truly the work of a Shenron wish. During this time, the Senzu Bean plant in the system had also produced 19 Senzu Beans. Wei Dong began by adapting to the gravity and then trained desperately, as his battle power of 1314 was simply not enough; he might be killed if he ran into someone else.

In reality, it should have only taken two days to reach Earth.

However, when passing by certain planets along the way, the system would sometimes offer Wei Dong missions. He could choose to do them or not, but these missions rewarded system coins, and it would be a waste not to take them since they were just minor tasks. Of course, he didn't take missions like defending a planet under attack, as he knew his own limits.

Therefore, it took nine days to reach Earth. He had previously spent 9 system coins to acquire Ki sensing, as it would be a huge headache without it. It was really hard to save up the remaining 7 coins.

Upon arriving at Earth.

He asked the system if it could store the spaceship.

The system said it could, but it would cost 0.5 system coins.

Wei Dong cursed, "What? That's such a rip-off! You charge me system coins just to put something away? Typical of you."

Wei Dong then asked the system, "What about taking it out?"

The system replied, "That is free."

"Well, that's somewhat decent." Decent my foot! You're a total scammer. Others are blinded by money, but you're blinded by coins.

Wei Dong wanted to find Son Goku, but even though he had learned to sense Ki, he couldn't find him at all. He had to rely on his big brother: "System, help me find Son Goku."

The system replied that Son Goku was already dead and therefore not on Earth.

Wei Dong was stunned. What? Dead? He then said to the system, "Then lock onto the Heavenly God Temple."

The system replied, "Understood."

Wei Dong found the direction and flew off.

He had learned to fly within his five years on Namek, so flying there was a piece of cake. After a while, he arrived at the Heavenly God Temple.

The Heavenly God had been waiting for a long time; did he seem to know Wei Dong was coming?

Upon seeing Wei Dong's tail, he was shocked and said, "A Saiyan!" He then added, "I didn't expect a Saiyan to arrive so soon. Wasn't it said they wouldn't come for another year?"

Wei Dong was confused, but he roughly understood the situation; he could guess the plot from that remark.

Wei Dong said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not one of those two Saiyans. I came from a different planet."

The Heavenly God was taken aback, half-doubting, and asked, "Then what business do you have with me?"

"I came looking for Son Goku, so can you tell me where he went?"

The Heavenly God was shocked and said, "How do you know about Son Goku? You really are one of those two Saiyans!"

Wei Dong was speechless and said, "Ugh, no. I just want to train. I come from your homeland, called Namek."

"Due to some inexplicable reason, I appeared on Namek at thirteen, and I don't even know how it happened myself. Then, I traveled from Namek to Earth."

The Heavenly God was stunned, "I am a Cosmic Being?"
