Louis returned to Earth, where he and Tights had been staying together.

Louis soon received a communication from Whis, asking him to bring Tights back to cook.

But how could Louis possibly agree to that?

Louis joked that Tights was his woman now, so they shouldn't ask her to cook anymore.

This made Whis and Beerus roll their eyes; what a scoundrel who valued romance over his "mentor."

At this moment, Tights suggested that they should just have Beerus and the other come to Earth instead.

Because her culinary skills were nothing special on Earth; there were plenty of people who could cook better than her.

Upon hearing this, Beerus and Whis's eyes immediately lit up.

However, there was a matter at hand that kept them tied up, so they had to postpone their plans to head to Earth.

When Louis asked them why, they refused to disclose the reason.

God of Destruction Realm.

Beerus and Whis stood in front of the God of Destruction Palace, looking up at the sky.

"Lord Beerus, are you really not going to tell Louis about the Candidate God of Destruction from other universes coming to Universe 7?"

"What good would telling him do? Don't forget that those guys are just here to annoy me. Seeing that I've taken on a Candidate God of Destruction, they've gone and done the same."

Beerus gritted his teeth and said, "They will definitely recruit people whose power has reached the God Realm. With Louis's combat power of 1.5 billion, even if he transforms into a Super Saiyan, it won't help!"

Just thinking about it made him furious!

Whis laughed, "Who told Lord Beerus to have such poor social skills? Every God of Destruction in every universe wants to mock you, even your brother wants to come over and mock you!"

"Hmph, just wait another two years, and we'll see who mocks whom!"

"Alright, with Louis's constitution, no one can defeat him. Perhaps Lord Beerus, you might be the one mocking them back," Whis chuckled.

Beerus's eyes brightened, "That's right! The power of the Candidate God of Destruction from other universes must possess the God Realm. If they fight Louis and can't even win, then I can mock them back!"

Louis currently only has 1.5 billion in combat power!

But that 1.5 billion combat power is something even Whis cannot defeat, let alone the Candidate God of Destruction from other universes trying to defeat Louis!!!

It's a good thing Whis didn't know what Beerus was thinking, otherwise, he would have definitely said, "Forget about me, even my father would have no way to deal with him!"

Beerus laughed wildly, "Let's go, we'll head to Earth first. Those guys will definitely come to Earth to find me!"

"Gulp!"

Whis swallowed his saliva, his eyes shining as he said, "Great! Tights said there is still a lot of delicious food on Earth. This is going to be comfortable."

"Then let's hurry up and go!"

North Galaxy, Frieza Force headquarters.

"Damn it!!!"

A sharp and sinister voice echoed throughout the entire Frieza Force headquarters.

All the aliens in the hall dared not make a sound, fearing they would provoke the Emperor of the Universe on his "hover pod."

Frieza crushed the wine glass in his hand, gritting his teeth, "Damn Galactic Patrol, why must you oppose me!"

Frieza did not know the reason why the Saiyans joined the Galactic Patrol; he only knew that the Saiyans had betrayed him.

Betrayal was the thing he hated most in his life!

Therefore, Frieza had always ordered the Frieza Force to hunt down the Saiyans.

At first, it had some effect, and they killed over a dozen Saiyans.

But later on, the Saiyans got smart; whenever they encountered the Frieza Force, they would flee back to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters.

The Galactic Patrol Headquarters was a place even he, Frieza, dared not intrude upon.

Coupled with the incident four years ago when that Candidate God of Destruction invaded his headquarters.

Frieza no longer dared to hunt down the Saiyans!

Over the past dozen years, the Saiyans had grown increasingly powerful.

Especially that Bardock; his combat power had already surpassed Ginyu.

If he didn't take action himself, no one in the Frieza Force could keep the Saiyans in check anymore.

But he still had to be wary of that Candidate God of Destruction!

Just then!

"Lord Frieza, I have heard a legend."

An alien walked into the palace and hurried before Frieza, "Lord Frieza, I heard a legend about immortality."

Frieza, who was in a fit of rage, had his expression change instantly, "Speak quickly!"

"While I was on a mission, I heard an ancient race say that if you find the legendary Dragon Ball, you can have any wish granted!"

"Granting any wish? Doesn't that mean not only can it make someone immortal, but it can also grant them immense power!"

"If that ancient race wasn't lying, then yes, it can."

"Tell me, where are the Dragon Ball?"

Frieza's face lit up with joy!

The alien wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Lord Frieza, I only heard rumors; I don't actually know where the Dragon Ball are!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a cold killing intent instantly permeated the palace.

"Search for them! You must find out where the Dragon Ball are for me!!"

"Once I obtain immortality and immense power, that will be the day I crush the Galactic Patrol Headquarters!!"

Earth.

Louis was lying in the backyard of Tights' house, sipping a drink, enjoying life to the fullest.

Tights was not here; she and Bulma had gone shopping. After all, the two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years.

Sisterly love runs deep!

Now they were stuck together every single day.

Just then!

A streak of seven-colored light appeared before Louis.

"Kid, you're living quite comfortably, aren't you!"

"Yo, isn't this my Lord Beerus?"

Louis opened his eyes and chuckled, "Aren't you supposed to be busy? You wouldn't come to Earth even when I asked, so why are you here now?"

His tone was full of teasing.

Beerus gritted his teeth at the brat.

Beerus rolled his eyes and said playfully, "Kid, I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

Whis stood to the side, covering his mouth and snickering.

Louis closed his eyes, "Lord Beerus, I don't want to hear either!"

"..."

Two black lines streaked across Beerus's forehead, and Whis laughed out loud.

"Whether you want to hear it or not, you're going to!"

Beerus huffed, "The good news is that you're about to make a name for yourself!"

?

Louis raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes again, "And the bad news?"

"The bad news is that you have to fight the Candidate God of Destruction from another universe!"

"What?"

Louis sprang up from his beach chair, staring fixedly at Beerus.

He finally understood what Beerus meant by making a name for himself!

He was being asked to fight the Candidate God of Destruction from another universe, and with his "Immunity," he naturally wouldn't lose.

That way, he would become famous throughout the Zeno Universe!

"Lord Beerus, your calculations are quite clever, aren't they!"

"Haha... the weather is nice today."

Beerus whistled, looking up at the sky.

The corners of Louis's mouth twitched slightly.

The reason he said Beerus's calculations were clever was that if he fought another God of Destruction, he would inherently be in an invincible position.

This way, Beerus could ruthlessly mock the others, saying that a master of the God Realm couldn't even defeat a mere mortal!

Beerus didn't care about drawing hatred; after all, he was already disliked by all the other Gods of Destruction, so he didn't mind if they hated him even more.

But now, Beerus was trying to drag him into the mess!

"Alright, you brat, I'm your master. Just tell me if you're going to help me with this favor or not!" Beerus patted Louis on the shoulder, his face calm and unruffled.

"Fine, I'll help, alright!"

Louis gritted his teeth.

Louis appeared angry on the surface, but inside, he was completely calm.

As the saying goes, prosperity and decline are linked; he and Universe 7 had been bound together long ago.

Moreover, in the eyes of Louis, Beerus and Whis were the kind of existences that were both mentors and friends.

If Beerus wanted to retort, Louis would naturally help him.

The corners of Louis's mouth curled up slightly; he was looking forward to battling the other Candidate God of Destruction in the future.

Suddenly!

Louis frowned and asked, "Lord Beerus, besides Universe 11, why do other universes have Candidate God of Destruction as well?"

Whis finally spoke up, laughing, "Hahaha, back when Lord Beerus took you in as a Candidate God of Destruction, the other Gods of Destruction followed suit!"

Louis covered his eyes.

He finally realized how poor Beerus's social standing was; everyone else had prepared early, just waiting to mock him!

Beerus scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed; he hadn't expected that he would need his successor to step in to save face.

"Alright, Lord Beerus, when are they coming to Universe 7?"

"In one year."

"One year?"

"That's right, why? Do you have something to do?"

Beerus looked at Louis in confusion.

Louis shook his head.

Vegeta and Son Goku had gone to North Kai to learn Kaioken, and he would go to pick them up in a year.

It was also in one year that those two planned to seek revenge on Frieza.

He hadn't expected the Candidate God of Destruction from other universes to descend upon Universe 7 in one year as well.

The timing was a bit conflicting!

In the end, Louis didn't say anything more, and Beerus and Whis settled down on Earth.

As soon as the two arrived on Earth, they quickly discovered that Tights was right.

Earth was simply a paradise for food!

Even the most casual street snacks were delicacies they had never tasted before!

Beerus and Whis lamented why they hadn't discovered this planet sooner.

Beyond the food, Beerus and Whis soon discovered that Earth had a very peculiar place.

In the north of Earth stood a stone tower that reached into the clouds, and above the stone tower was a mysterious Lookout.

The two had been to the Lookout once, but they hadn't discovered anything amiss.

They only knew that the Lookout and that stone tower were both ancient!

In the end, Beerus and Whis could only let the matter drop.
