Amid endless journeys through time and space, Mu Yang arrived in an unfamiliar world. It looked much like the one he had come from.
"Where am I?" Mu Yang looked around. He was on a planet, an unfamiliar one.
"Baby!" Soon, Mu Yang heard an unfamiliar voice. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around. There, he saw Son Goku.
But compared to the Son Goku from his own timeline, this one was much smaller.
Mu Yang understood what kind of world he had arrived in. This was the Super Saiyan 4 storyline.
Meanwhile, back in the other timeline...
Time passed, and seven years went by in the blink of an eye.
As usual, Supreme Kai appeared, and then Majin Buu broke free of his seal. The Z Fighters were no match for him, and events unfolded just like in the original story.
Majin Buu absorbed many people. Even Vegito, the fusion of Son Goku and Vegeta, was absorbed. At the critical moment, Mu Yang returned.
After training in the Super Saiyan 4 timeline, Mu Yang had grown even stronger. He easily wiped out Majin Buu.
With Majin Buu gone, Earth once again settled into a long-awaited peace.
While Mu Yang was enjoying his life, he suddenly sensed that Beerus had awakened. After a series of events, Mu Yang gave Beerus a thorough beating, settling the score for having been forcibly taken away back then.
Then Champa came over and demanded a match. Mu Yang didn't care much about it, and the competition was over before long. Thanks to the match, Mu Yang successfully completed his Dragon God Power.
His strength increased another step.
Later, during the Zamasu incident, he effortlessly put an end to everything in the Future Timeline and used overwhelming power to reconstruct an entire future world.
The strongest lineup from Universe 7 emerged at the Tournament of Power, but by then, it had little to do with Mu Yang. Without even realizing it, he had reached the pinnacle of strength in the entire universe.
At the Ascension Ladder, in a vast white space,
Mu Yang easily climbed to the 999th step and found himself in a familiar place. He had seen this space before: it was where he had met the Mother of Angels.
"So that's how it is." Mu Yang finally understood everything, and let go of the past.
Then came the process of merging with the Dao. His overwhelming power filled all twelve universes with astonishing phenomena during the Tournament of Power.
Dragons and phoenixes appeared together, and all fell silent.
Mu Yang's voice rang out: "The course of fate has changed. Heaven's will has decreed that I shall preach in the World of Void ten years from now."
His overwhelming might pressed everyone to the ground—not even the Grand Minister was spared.
Countless gods and mortals were left astonished!
The Tournament of Power ended without a hitch.
Ten years later, the sermon began. Mu Yang organized all his insights and explained his new system of power to everyone.
Dragon Ball officially entered a new era!
All the gods honored Mu Yang as the "Dao Ancestor."
Mu Yang merged with the Dao alongside the Mother of Angels.
Countless years passed.
No one knew how much time had gone by.
In a hazy, ethereal expanse, a magnificent Crystal Palace stood amid the void.
Mu Yang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, head bowed as if looking at something.
"What are you looking at?"
Bulma asked. Vados, the Mother of Angels, Android 18, and a host of other beautiful women stood behind her. Each of them had shared a romantic bond with Mu Yang.
After merging with the Dao, Mu Yang had brought them all into his world.
"I'm watching a show. It's about time for me to make an entrance." Mu Yang smiled faintly. This matter had some connection to him, too.
"Then come back soon. You're coming to my room tonight." Bulma rolled her eyes. They had been married for so many years.
"Sure." Mu Yang laughed helplessly, then turned his gaze back to the universe below.
The war between the Grand Minister and Dragon God Zalama had ended.
"Zalama, you've lost." The Grand Minister stood with his hands behind his back, gazing coolly at Dragon God Zalama.
Dragon God Zalama had played all his cards in this war. The Grand Minister had nearly exhausted his own, too, but in the final battle between kings, he had won.
"So I lost... Sigh..." Dragon God Zalama sighed. Even at the very end, the miracle never came. The one who made miracles happen was never favored by them.
"Actually, the two of us could have lived in peace." The Grand Minister sighed too, looking at Dragon God Zalama with regret.
"As long as you refuse to let miracles fill the universe, only one of us can exist." Dragon God Zalama's gaze grew calm. He showed no fear, though he was about to die.
"Why did it have to come to this?" The Grand Minister's eyes were filled with sorrow. From now on, there would be one fewer fellow he could talk to.
"This is a clash of ideals," Dragon God Zalama said calmly.
"That's right. Ideals..." The Grand Minister sighed even more deeply. How many gods had one ideal brought to ruin? The entire universe had once again endured a calamity because of it.
Even the Divine Realm had closed its doors because of this war, to keep mortals from being dragged into a conflict between gods.
Both the Grand Minister and Dragon God Zalama had held back considerably.
"Can't miracles and stability truly coexist in peace?" The Grand Minister said regretfully. His gaze sharpened as he prepared to put an end to Dragon God Zalama.
Just then, a brilliant white light suddenly blazed across the sky.
In its radiance, a figure appeared.
It was Mu Yang, who had rushed to the scene.
"Dao Ancestor." The Grand Minister bowed slightly, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
"Your Excellency, Grand Minister, I came here to take Dragon God Zalama with me." Mu Yang spoke kindly. He looked at the Grand Minister like an old friend, but his tone left no room for argument.
"I understand. Dao Ancestor may take Zalama away." The Grand Minister knew there was no point in arguing, so he agreed. No one could change the Dao Ancestor's mind.
The Dao Ancestor would ultimately decide how this world developed.
"Dragon God Zalama, are you willing to come with me?" Mu Yang turned to Zalama with a smile.
Dragon God Zalama gave a wry smile, then bowed respectfully. "I shall obey the Dao Ancestor's decree!"
Amid a flawless expanse of white light, Mu Yang led Dragon God Zalama away.
The Grand Minister stared blankly after them, his mind lost in memories of the past. Who could have imagined that the little fellow he once treated like a junior would one day achieve so much?
It was truly unbelievable! Before he knew it, the young man had surpassed him.
"Perhaps this is what change means."
"The future belongs to the young, after all."
For the first time, the Grand Minister felt old. It was probably time to retire. He was tired and could no longer manage everything.
But he still had no idea who could succeed him.
