When Lin Chen first learned that he had obtained a choice system, he was overjoyed.

Every transmigrator was supposed to get a golden finger. Sure enough, he had gotten one too!

But after seeing the three choices the system offered, Lin Chen, who knew the story inside out, turned green in the face.

Damn it!

What kind of options were these?

Every single one was more insane than the last!

Never mind the great demon king Frieza. Could someone like Lin Chen, whose power level was still below ten thousand, really deal with the Supreme Kai or the God of Destruction?

Other people got a beginner's gift pack as soon as they received a system. Why had his system started him off with a hell-difficulty mission?

Wasn't this just setting him up?

Lin Chen immediately wanted to give up, but the system retorted at once: "The mission cannot be abandoned. You must choose one option and complete it before Planet Vegeta is destroyed. Otherwise, the host will be eliminated!"

Faced with the system's barefaced threat, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and chose the first option without a second thought.

Frieza, the Supreme Kai, the God of Destruction—of those three, only Frieza gave Lin Chen, who was still an ordinary Low-Class Warrior, even the slimmest theoretical chance of victory!

Besides, opportunity often came with risk. If he could complete the mission this time, Lin Chen's future would be immeasurably bright.

The Dragon Ball world was full of dangers. Even becoming a Super Saiyan might not be enough to keep him safe. But if he could obtain the Legendary Saiyan bloodline, then judging by the Legendary Saiyan's power in the original story, Lin Chen would surely be able to survive whatever dangers the future held.

So after that, Lin Chen spent four whole years preparing, all so he could defeat Frieza before he struck and destroyed Planet Vegeta!

With the system's guidance, Lin Chen had already pinpointed the date he arrived in this world: Age 733, four years before Planet Vegeta's destruction.

Lin Chen didn't have much time. Kakarot had yet to be born, and the Saiyan Prince Vegeta was only one year old. It was also difficult for Lin Chen to find allies. Taking on Frieza was practically an impossible mission!

But after carefully analyzing the story, Lin Chen had found a glimmer of hope for achieving his goal. To do so, however, he would need a power level of at least sixty thousand—and the support of every Saiyan!

To reach that goal, Lin Chen escaped during a mission and began wandering the universe alone.

In the first year, Lin Chen tried to raise his power through training.

The body he had transmigrated into had a power level of only two thousand, putting him at the common, bottom-tier level of Saiyan warriors.

Although he was only fourteen years old physically and still had room to grow, his prospects weren't great.

Over the course of that year, Lin Chen endured countless hardships and managed to raise his power level to just ten thousand. He was still nowhere near his goal of at least sixty thousand.

So in the second year, Lin Chen changed his mind.

He had to admit that his body didn't have the talent of Kakarot or Vegeta. Reaching a power level of sixty thousand in the three years he had left would be extremely difficult!

So in the second year, Lin Chen spent the entire year searching the universe for the location of Namek.

Given his situation, the only way he could think of to rapidly increase his strength in a short time was to go to Namek!

It wasn't that he planned to use the Dragon Balls to wish for greater power. That simply wasn't possible; even Shenron had limits.

Besides, with Lin Chen's power at the time, there was no way he could defeat the Namekians, who were protected by Nail.

His true goal was to reach an agreement with the Grand Elder and have him unlock Lin Chen's potential.

The Grand Elder of Namek had the special ability to draw out people's potential. In the original story, after he guided them, Krillin and Gohan—who had started with power levels of only one or two thousand—grew ten times stronger!

If Lin Chen could get the Grand Elder's help too, he would achieve his goal with ease!

So once he found Namek, Lin Chen immediately headed for the planet and spent another year there.

As a Saiyan infamous throughout the universe, Lin Chen's journey to meet the Grand Elder didn't go smoothly.

At first, when the Namekians saw that he was a Saiyan, they assumed he had come to attack their planet and struck without a word.

Even after Lin Chen explained why he had come, the Namekians still didn't fully believe him.

They told him that if he wanted to meet the Grand Elder, he would first have to accept their challenge.

So Lin Chen spent another year on Namek, passing the Namekians' many tests of wisdom, courage, and strength. Only then did he finally meet the Grand Elder and reach a special agreement with him.

Under the terms of their agreement, the Grand Elder fully unlocked Lin Chen's combat potential, finally giving him the power level he had now: over 110,000!

In four years, he had gone from a Low-Class Warrior to a Saiyan with a power level of 110,000. The hardships he had endured were unimaginable, but all that effort had been worth it.

Seated on the throne, Lin Chen finished recalling the past four years and looked up at the people before him, who were still stunned.

"Everyone, I know some of you may still refuse to accept me. But according to tradition, I have one week to rest after taking the throne. If you want to challenge me, you'll have to wait until then."

"If I'm defeated after a week, you can depose me or kill me. But until then, I won't allow anyone to act recklessly!"

"My next orders may sound strange, but you must obey them!"

"First, what happened today stays among us Saiyans. You absolutely must not tell Frieza that the Saiyans have a new king!"

"Second, all of you Mid-Class Warriors, I need you to act immediately. Kill every one of Frieza's subordinates on Planet Vegeta. Leave only the personnel responsible for communications, so they can send the Frieza Force false reports that everything is fine! Not a word about what we do over the next few days can get out!"

"Lin, Lynx..."

Beneath the throne, King Vegeta had already regained consciousness. He lay on the ground, staring at Lin Chen in shock. "What... what are you planning to do?"

Lin Chen glanced at King Vegeta. "What am I planning to do? I'm going to lead all the Saiyans in rebelling against Frieza!"

The Saiyans below all froze.

Rebel against Frieza?

Rebel against the emperor of the universe who ruled it with an iron fist?

Was Lin Chen insane?

Although they had their doubts about what Lin Chen said...

They couldn't defy the king's orders!

That day, Lin Chen's secret plan for the Saiyans to rebel began!
