Three Wishes

After some time, Young Nail traveled through the remaining six villages, collecting one Dragon Ball from each.

The Namekians did not like using such power that transcended nature; they revered nature and respected it.

To them, the Dragon Balls were merely sacred relics to be venerated, and they were rarely used.

The seven Dragon Balls were laid out on the ground.

They were different from the Dragon Balls on Earth; while Earth's Dragon Balls were only the size of an adult's fist, the Namekian Dragon Balls were the size of basketballs.

These massive Dragon Balls also possessed functions different from those on Earth. Earth's Dragon Balls could only grant one wish, whereas the Namekian Dragon Balls could grant three.

However, the Namekian Dragon Balls had a specific advantage and disadvantage regarding resurrection: they could only revive one person at a time, provided the death was not natural, but they could perform this resurrection an infinite number of times.

Earth's Dragon Balls also had their own pros and cons: they could revive many people at once, but each person could only be revived once in their lifetime!

"Come forth, Porunga!"

Young Nail stood beside the enormous Dragon Balls and chanted the incantation to summon the Eternal Dragon in the Namekian language.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and the sky turned pitch black, creating a feeling as if the black clouds were pressing down on the city, ready to crush it.

The dense clouds drifted across the sky, yet no rain fell!

Crack! Snap!

Lightning began to flash within the dark clouds!

The flashes of lightning brought a glimmer of light to the dim sky, illuminating the faces of Kasso and Young Nail!

A massive Western-style dragon head soared into the sky, its body coiling and winding amidst the lightning. A moment later, the entire region could see the form of this Western divine dragon!

This shocking sight struck deep into Kasso's heart; this was the Eternal Dragon!

The Dragon Ball anime was a series primarily centered around the seven Dragon Balls. Now, he was experiencing it firsthand, and the scene he had dreamed of was appearing right before his eyes!

Kasso's mouth hung open in excitement, and he stood motionless, wanting to etch this moment into his heart and remember it forever.

"You who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls! State your wishes! You may now make three wishes, and any wish can be granted!" The Namekian Eternal Dragon opened its mouth and spoke the lines it said every time it appeared!

"Speak," Young Nail said, curling his lip.

He had seen the expression on Kasso's face; he looked just like a country bumpkin, completely lacking in experience.

"The first wish: allow us Saiyans to survive in the vacuum of space!" Kasso said.

Young Nail repeated Kasso's words in the Namekian language.

Before coming to Namek, Kasso had already decided on the three wishes he would make.

It was well known that Saiyans could not survive in space. In the future, during the great battle between Goku and Frieza, Frieza would use a Planet Destroyer attack to blow up the entire Namek!

Frieza could survive in space, but the Saiyans could not. In that scenario, Goku would surely die, but who could have guessed that Goku would eventually find the spaceship left behind by Ginyu!

Therefore, this wish was particularly important.

"Your first wish has been granted! Please state your second wish!" The Eternal Dragon's eyes flashed a crimson red before it spoke.

The moment the wish was granted, a flash of clarity crossed Kasso's mind, as if his body had been altered in some way.

It seemed he would truly be able to survive in space from now on.

On the extremely distant Planet Vegeta.

Bardock had just returned from a mission and was on his way home when his entire body shuddered.

"What was that?"

An inexplicable surge of power had entered his body, and he felt his entire being become lighter.

"Am I overthinking it?" Bardock sensed his condition and found that there was nothing wrong with his body.

He didn't dwell on it further and continued walking home.

"Please restore the true home of the Saiyans, Planet Sadala!" Young Nail translated the second wish to the Eternal Dragon!

Kasso knew that Planet Vegeta could not be saved, and the Saiyans would soon be in desperate need of a place to stay. Planet Sadala, the true home of the Saiyans, was the best place for them to settle!

"Your second wish has been fulfilled. The location of Planet Sadala has been transmitted to your minds. Please state your third wish!"

"The third wish is: please, at the moment of the future explosion of Planet Vegeta, transfer the remaining Saiyans there to the restored Planet Sadala!"

Young Nail opened his mouth and spoke the final wish!

"..." The Eternal Dragon's eyes turned red for a moment, and then it fell silent.

The Eternal Dragon said indifferently: "This wish cannot be granted!"

Upon hearing the dragon's response, not only was Kasso stunned, but Young Nail was also dumbfounded. The two little brats stood frozen in place.

This wish was something even the Eternal Dragon couldn't grant?

"The destruction of Planet Vegeta and the annihilation of the Saiyans were ordered by Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. This wish cannot be fulfilled."

As the Eternal Dragon said this, a few beads of cold sweat trickled down its dragon face. It continued, "Please state your third wish."

Kasso had considered this question before. As the most powerful deity in Universe 7, the God of Destruction issued orders that an ordinary dragon might not dare to defy; perhaps only the Super Shenron could ignore such a god.

It seemed that it really couldn't be done now!

Was the race truly going to be wiped out?

Just as Kasso fell silent, the dragon spoke again: "State your third wish!"

One could tell from its tone that the dragon was getting impatient; if he didn't make a wish soon, it would likely vanish immediately.

Young Nail looked at Kasso.

"Create a patch of land on Planet Sadala where Senzu Bean can grow instantly," Kasso said, stating a random wish.

Young Nail proceeded to translate.

"Your wish has been granted!"

Whoosh!

The seven Dragon Ball emitted a golden light on the spot. The dragon in the sky suddenly vanished, and after the golden light faded, the Dragon Ball on the ground turned into ordinary round stones.

With the dragon gone, Kasso stood in place, his brow furrowed.

Were Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan race destined to be destroyed?

Kasso thought for a moment, then felt that something didn't quite add up.

Right!

Beerus had only ordered Frieza to destroy and eliminate the Saiyan race; he hadn't concerned himself with whether the job was finished thoroughly afterward.

Weren't survivors like Kakarot and Vegeta the perfect proof of that?

If the dragon couldn't defy the God of Destruction due to divine suppression, and it couldn't grant the wish, couldn't Kasso save Bardock and the others through his own efforts?

Kasso understood; it seemed that was indeed possible.

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the little kid beside him.

"Young Nail, I'm leaving. Say goodbye to the Grand Elder for me. I will definitely keep the promise I made. The Namekians will always be good friends of mine, Kasso!"

He was leaving already!

Young Nail felt a slight ripple in his heart. Through their time together, he could see that Kasso was an extraordinary little guy.

Through the three wishes made to the dragon, he understood that Kasso had come to Namek specifically to save his own people.

Young Nail acknowledged Kasso in his heart. Even though he was still just a child, when his race was on the brink of extinction, he hadn't chosen to run away, but instead tried every possible method to save them. Such a person was worthy of respect!

In fact, Young Nail was the same. In the future battle on Namek, he would choose to fuse with Piccolo, giving up his own dominant consciousness just to defeat Frieza and save his people.

Similar actions often create resonance, even though the battle on Namek hadn't happened yet!

"Alright, do your best in the battles to come. If you can't beat the enemy, you'd better run away as soon as possible!"

Young Nail patted Kasso's narrow shoulder.

Kasso shook his head, not expecting Young Nail to have such a side to him.

However, regarding Young Nail's mention of running away, he felt the same. With his current strength, facing Frieza was undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake an elephant; there wasn't a shred of hope for victory.

Honestly, Kasso felt that comparing himself to an ant was already overestimating himself.

"Goodbye!"

With that, Kasso shot directly into the sky.

Young Nail watched the small white dot in the sky, his thoughts unknown.

He then flew back in the direction of the Grand Elder's residence.
