Our Journey Is the Vast Milky Way

After a near-death crisis, Raditz earnestly advised everyone to train moderately! The consequences of blindly overestimating oneself were terrifying, and Raditz would forever have a psychological scar from entering the Gravity Chamber.

The gravity multiplier at the time of the incident was 159, a level so intense that they couldn't even move. It was far beyond what they could handle then. If Goku hadn't cut the power in time, he and Vegeta would likely have met a grim fate.

Fortunately, when the idea of an independent power source was proposed, Raditz had dismissed it. Otherwise… thinking about it now still sent shivers down his spine.

However, this experience allowed Vegeta to grasp the intensity of gravity training, making him no longer dare to underestimate this seemingly ordinary building.

The next day, the real training began.

Vegeta trained alone, occupying the spaceship's training room, while the others split into two groups and entered the rooms on the ground. The Saiyans and Piccolo underwent high-intensity, high-multiplier training, and the others reluctantly waited for them to finish before taking their turn.

Initially, everyone repeated basic physical training, like squats and push-ups. Once they felt a bit more accustomed, they started practicing punches and kicks. After a full day of training, Vegeta had fallen in love with this training environment.

Some people detested tedious tasks, while others reveled in them, dedicating their entire lives to a single pursuit. Throwing a punch tens of thousands of times without slackening, all to shave off 0.01 seconds from their striking speed – that was the Saiyan way.

It was precisely this characteristic that allowed the so-called warrior race to grow ever stronger.

Thus, another half-month passed. Everyone was frantically pushing themselves, striving to elevate their strength to a stable, higher level. Bulma had also finished the Dragon Ball Radar and replenished the large spaceship's fuel for a month. The departure date was drawing near; they were about to journey into space, carrying "HOPE" as they headed towards the vast galaxy.

On the day of departure, everyone gathered at Bulma's house.

Master Roshi was only there to see them off. Tien and Yamcha did not board the spaceship. They felt their strength was too far behind and didn't want to be a burden, deciding to continue their training in the Gravity Chamber. Gohan had finally received Chi-Chi's permission, with Raditz, his uncle, playing a significant role. Compared to Goku, Raditz was much more reliable in Chi-Chi's eyes.

However, even those who boarded the spaceship had their own distinct objectives.

Vegeta aimed to test his strength, defeat Goku, and then defeat Raditz. Nappa had no choice; the big shots were all there. Piccolo hadn't wanted to join initially, but he felt his strength was too far behind the Saiyans and feared being left behind again. Another reason was Gohan's participation; he found Goku's son much more likable than Goku himself.

The rest were all committed to saving Earth without hesitation.

"Goodbye, you guys do your best! Next time, when I'm stronger, I'll join you all. Ahahaha!" Yamcha waved goodbye to everyone, and Puar echoed his farewell.

Raditz responded with a polite yet awkward smile. In his heart, he sighed, Perhaps there won't be many opportunities for you to shine, Yamcha, but for your screen time, I'll try my best.

"Tien..." Tien Shinhan was about to speak when a hand pushed him aside.

A blonde woman carrying a gun stepped to the front. "Tien Shinhan, you better come back alive! I'm still waiting for you!" Launch was now in her blonde form, her outburst resembling a Super Saiyan, only lacking the electrical aura.

Even Tien Shinhan was startled. His three eyes widened in unison, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead…

"Chi-Chi, Bulma, Grandpa Roshi, and everyone, we're off! Earth is in your hands." Goku laughed heartily, waving his arms, filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.

This was him – always facing everything with optimism, yet never being careless when caution was needed.

Chi-Chi, dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief, bid farewell to Goku and Gohan. The Ox-King kept patting her back, comforting her.

"Don't worry, Goku. I'll reluctantly take it upon myself to protect Earth in your stead," Master Roshi said with a smile.

"That'll only make things worse, you pervert."

"What did you say, Oolong?"

"He's right. With you around, it's even more dangerous."

"Bulma, you too…" Master Roshi was deeply disheartened. He sighed profoundly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Inside the spaceship, Vegeta was growing impatient. "Kakarot, let's go!"

"Coming! Coming!"

Goku was the last to board the spaceship. The hatch closed, and the huge, circular spaceship blasted off into space.

"Wow, will they be okay? After all, those two Saiyans are part of the evil faction."

"With Goku and Raditz there, don't worry." Master Roshi gripped his staff, gazing up at the sky and cheering everyone on in his heart. Only when the spaceship was no longer visible did he reveal a lecherous smile. "Ah… Earth is in the hands of these young people. This old man will just chat with Bulma."

As he turned around, a heavy punch landed squarely on the old turtle, nearly sending him into space as well…

The vast, pitch-black universe was silent and desolate. Countless planets spun in the deep darkness, quietly reflecting clear light. Distant nebulae shimmered with faint, pale white crystalline specks, their edges swirling with bright purple fluid fragments, appearing as if stained by frost or covered in a thin mist of dust, presenting a scene of psychedelic beauty.

The infinitely vast universe was filled with the unknown, and it was this mysterious unknown that attracted people to explore and pursue.

Inside the spaceship, Vegeta was at the controls. After entering the predetermined orbit, he set the flight to autopilot, heading towards the location indicated by the Dragon Ball Radar. Before this, King Kai had already contacted Raditz. King Kai informed them that Turles' whereabouts were unpredictable, and he frequently changed his itinerary. The reason Turles dared to boast that he wasn't afraid of Frieza was precisely due to his advantage in guerrilla warfare.

Otherwise, with his pathetic skill level, Frieza could probably deal with him with just one finger. Frieza likely wouldn't even bother with him; as long as Turles was sensible, Frieza's forces would turn a blind eye.

But no matter where he went, the Dragon Ball Radar could track him.

The spaceship continued its journey. The group decided to begin their training. The internal gravity chamber was small, accommodating only three people at a time, so they had to arrange the order and rotate. There were only seven Senzu Beans. To conserve them, Raditz stipulated that they shouldn't push themselves too hard during training, to avoid consuming all the Senzu Beans too early.

Besides the gravity chamber, the washing and sleeping areas were very comfortable, with various recreational facilities. Raditz had specifically requested the best audio system. He had someone arrange and perform "Dandan Kokoro Hikareteku," which he had replicated from memory. Listening to this song during training or relaxation was an absolute pleasure.
