Louis left the Supreme Kai Realm and spent the next month continuously destroying planets.

One barren planet after another vanished at Louis's hands, and his mastery over the technique of Destruction grew increasingly refined.

The energy of Destruction he condensed had now grown from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a fist.

In the depths of space.

"Destruction!"

Louis raised his hand, aimed at a planet ahead currently in its primitive tribal era, and unleashed the energy of Destruction.

Hum!

A flash of purple light streaked across the void, and the planet turned into a stream of light, dissipating into the cosmos.

The planet Louis had just destroyed originally harbored life, but because its evolutionary path was flawed and failed to develop into intelligent humanoids, it was deemed a useless planet.

Whis watched the youth in the starry sky, the smile on his face never once fading.

"Lord Beerus has truly struck gold!"

"Whis, what was that?"

Louis turned his head. This was the 5,608th useless planet he had destroyed; it was clear just how negligent Beerus had been.

"Nothing at all. By the way, you Saiyan cannot survive in the vacuum of space, so you..."

"Haha, it seems that because I ignore negative effects, I can even survive in space now."

"You really are a freak, kid. Normally, one must reach the level of a Grand Kai in dimensional cultivation to survive in space, yet here you are, still in the Kai dimension, managing to survive thanks to that special power of yours."

"Hahaha, it's nothing really!"

Louis rubbed the back of his head and asked, "Whis, my task is nearly finished. What should I do now?"

Whis waved his staff to check the list of substandard planets and found that they had indeed been mostly cleared. "It seems so! However..."

"Destroying planets alone won't do much to raise the average mortal level of the universe. When it all comes down to it, Universe 7 simply lacks strong warriors!"

"Besides, we cannot destroy too many planets, or it will hinder the development of the universe."

"It is time for Shin to act. Only by balancing destruction with creation can the universe itself give birth to more powerful beings."

Hearing this, Louis nodded.

"Whis, if there's nothing left for me to do, can I take a break?"

"You may, but where do you intend to go, kid?"

A hint of curiosity flickered in Whis's eyes.

Louis replied, "I want to go back to Planet Vegeta and see how the Saiyan are doing!"

Louis had never held much affection for that race of evil Saiyan.

But for some reason!

Over the years, he couldn't help but want to know how the Saiyan had developed. With their fate altered, he was even more curious about their current state.

"Louis, I am afraid you cannot return to Planet Vegeta."

"Huh? Has Planet Vegeta been destroyed by Frieza?"

"...You actually knew that!"

Whis looked at Louis with a meaningful gaze.

Damn it!

Louis swallowed hard; he had slipped up again.

Whis did not press the matter. He glanced at Louis and said, "Do not worry. Planet Vegeta did indeed explode, but the Saiyan did not die!"

"Oh?"

Louis was puzzled.

"Do you remember the order Lord Beerus gave before leaving Planet Vegeta?"

"I remember. Lord Beerus ordered the Saiyan race to join the Galactic Patrol."

"Good, you remember. King Vegeta dared not defy Lord Beerus's command, so he led the entire race to the Galactic Patrol headquarters. When Frieza saw King Vegeta's betrayal, he destroyed Planet Vegeta in a fit of rage."

"What?"

Louis felt an instinctive surge of urgency and quickly asked, "So my Saiyan kin are all at the Galactic Patrol headquarters now?"

"Correct! The Galactic Patrol headquarters is no simple place, so Frieza dared not invade it. The Saiyan race is living quite well there."

Whis nodded, checked some information, and widened his eyes. "I didn't expect that after ten years, your Saiyan have developed quite well. There are actually over a dozen Saiyan who have broken through to a battle power of 100,000!"

100,000 battle power?

Louis frowned, lost in thought.

Could it be that the S-Cells within the Saiyan were beginning to awaken? That would explain such significant growth in just ten years.

"Whis, help me find a Saiyan named Kakarot and see where he is right now."

Louis's voice was urgent, and Whis frowned. Who was Kakarot again?

Soon.

"That Saiyan named Kakarot is currently on a planet called Earth. He goes by the name Son Goku now and is undergoing training under someone called Master Roshi."

He went to Earth? And he's already started Master Roshi's training? Louis fell into deep thought.

He hadn't expected Son Goku to end up on Earth after all!

Following the progression of the timeline, it was indeed around this time that Son Goku would receive guidance from Master Roshi.

If the Saiyans hadn't died out, would Vegeta still invade Earth? Would Son Goku still transform into a Super Saiyan?

"Let's go, we're heading to the Galactic Patrol headquarters!"

Since Son Goku had reached Earth and the planet hadn't been significantly affected by the butterfly effect yet, Louis didn't intend to disturb his training so soon.

After all, for Son Goku to continue breaking through in the future, aside from his own talent and willpower, the martial arts training he received on Earth during his youth was indispensable.

"Very well!"

Whis didn't ask about Louis's purpose for going to the Galactic Patrol headquarters; he took Louis and vanished into the starry expanse of the universe.

Universe 7, the very center of the North Galaxy.

A massive planet floated there, surrounded by a dozen smaller planets.

On that giant planet sat the Galactic Patrol headquarters.

In the mission hall, Jaco sat on a sofa, watching the Saiyans coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have thought that the fierce and brutal Saiyan race would actually join the Galactic Patrol headquarters!"

"Are Saiyans really that scary?"

Sitting next to Jaco was a woman with short blonde hair and a curvaceous figure, exuding the aura of a mature woman.

"They're definitely scary! Back in the day, they followed that cosmic emperor, Frieza!"

Hearing this, the blonde woman couldn't help but shiver.

When she was traveling through space with Jaco, they had nearly been captured by Frieza's forces; it was only because Jaco's spaceship was advanced enough that they managed to escape.

"Then how did this group of Saiyans suddenly join the Galactic Patrol?"

"I have no idea!"

Jaco frowned tightly and said, "But over these past ten years, thanks to the Saiyans joining, our workload at the Galactic Patrol has become much lighter!"

"How strange!"

The blonde woman rested her chin on her hand, watching the Saiyans moving in and out of the mission hall.

Just then!

Two figures walked into the mission hall; the arrivals were none other than Louis and Whis.

It's her?

The moment Louis walked in, he noticed the woman beside Jaco: Tights!

In the original story, Tights was Bulma's sister and a novelist who followed Jaco into space to find material for her books.

He hadn't expected to see her at the Galactic Patrol headquarters.

"Hmm?"

Tights also noticed Louis's gaze, and her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Tights, what's wrong?"

"That person is looking at me."

Tights pointed toward Louis.

Jaco hurriedly pressed her hand down, panicked: "Do you want to die? Didn't you see the tail at his waist?"

"It's a Saiyan!"

Only then did Tights notice the tail at Louis's waist, and she quickly covered her mouth.

But!

"It's over, it's over. That Saiyan is walking this way; he must have heard what you just said!!" Jaco felt like crying; women were truly troublesome.

Louis walked closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the hall grew heavy.

Jaco and Tights held their breath, their palms slick with sweat, praying only that he wasn't looking for trouble with them.
