Decision! Preparations Before Heading to a Parallel Time-Space!

Ding! Replying to the host: the target is a Broly from a parallel timeline, not the one from your current timeline.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment upon hearing the system's reply.

A Broly from a parallel timeline?

What the hell... It was a good thing he had asked; otherwise, how was he supposed to complete this choice?

Lin Chen knew that the Dragon Ball world was, in fact, an incredibly vast place.

The world operated on the concept of a multiverse, consisting of twelve universes in total.

The universe Lin Chen resided in was merely one of these twelve.

The relationships between different universes were much like those between different nations; the differences could be vast.

Take the Saiyans as an example: in Lin Chen's universe, Saiyans were originally a bellicose and brutal race, but in another universe, they might be a peace-loving people, while in a third, the Saiyan race might not exist at all.

Beyond this multiverse, Lin Chen also knew that the world held the concept of parallel timelines.

So-called parallel timelines referred to worlds within a single universe that were born similar yet different due to certain circumstances.

Taking Lin Chen himself as an example, he was well aware that the world he currently inhabited was definitely a parallel timeline of a certain universe.

Because of his arrival, the Saiyan homeworld, Planet Vegeta, had escaped its fate of being destroyed by Frieza.

Aside from this world, there should be another world where Lin Chen had never transmigrated; in that world, because Lin Chen never appeared, Planet Vegeta had been destroyed by Frieza, just as in the original story.

And now, the task the system had given Lin Chen was to travel to a parallel timeline to deal with another Broly.

The problem was, how was Lin Chen supposed to reach the parallel timeline the system required?

"System, how am I supposed to complete Choice Three? Will you send me to that parallel timeline?"

Ding! Replying to the host: the host must find a way to complete the task on their own, but the system can offer a hint: in this universe, there exists a way to travel to the target timeline.

"System, then I choose Choice Three!"

After some thought, Lin Chen couldn't suppress his curiosity and selected the option that seemed the most difficult to achieve.

After all, the Frost Demon serum offered in Choice One and Choice Two wouldn't be of much help to Lin Chen, whose subordinates were primarily Saiyans.

As for that Legendary Super Saiyan 2 form experience card, he really wanted to see what that was all about!

Ding! The host has activated the choice. Please complete the task as soon as possible! Because this task is of high difficulty, the time limit has been extended to three years!

Having confirmed his new goal, Lin Chen issued new orders to King Vegeta and the others: starting today, the Saiyans would begin launching attacks on the former territories of the Frieza Force, liberating the planets that had been ruled by Frieza in the past.

Although there would be no system rewards for doing so, attacking the Frieza Force's territories would allow the Saiyans to accumulate at least some combat experience.

Hanasia's lesson had proven that having raw power alone was sometimes useless; five years of peace had caused many Saiyans to forget the cruelty of battle.

While the Saiyan army was out on its campaigns, Lin Chen returned to Earth.

Since the system task had a three-year time limit, Lin Chen planned to resurrect Hanasia and the others first.

Upon returning to Earth, Lin Chen first paid a visit to the Kame House.

When he arrived, he saw Master Roshi teaching martial arts to Tights and Bulma.

"Master Roshi! Tights! Bulma!"

Lin Chen greeted them and, after sharing a moment of affection with Tights, got straight to the point.

"You want this orb of mine? I've been studying this thing for years and still have no idea what it is."

Master Roshi held up the Dragon Ball around his neck with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, this thing is actually called a Dragon Ball. There are seven in total, and if you gather them all, you can have one wish granted."

"What? It's that magical?" Master Roshi exclaimed, but he handed the Dragon Ball to Lin Chen nonetheless.

"You're already so strong, yet you still need this thing—you must have some urgent business, right? Just take it."

"Thank you, Master Mutaito."

Lin Chen took the Dragon Ball, bid the three of them farewell, and used Instant Transmission to head elsewhere.

However, after Lin Chen left, a strange glint flashed in Bulma's eyes.

So, the Shenron that Brother Lin Chen talked about before is real?

After taking Master Roshi's Dragon Ball, Lin Chen arrived at Mount Paozu the next moment.

Little Goku, who still lived alone in the mountains, was out hunting. Lin Chen silently apologized before taking his Four-Star Dragon Ball.

Immediately afterward, he arrived at the Lookout.

"Brother Lin Chen!"

The first to come out to greet Lin Chen was Broly, who had been living there for over a year.

He was wearing clothes similar to those of the Guardian, and his height had grown so much that Lin Chen almost didn't recognize him.

"Yo! Broly!"

Looking at the kind-faced Broly before him, who was a completely different person from the past, and then thinking of the Broly he was tasked to deal with in this mission, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel impressed with himself for being able to transform even Broly into someone like this.

"Broly, how are you doing here?"

"It's great. I owe it all to Brother Lynx for bringing me here. Every day, I get to learn all sorts of new things from Mr. Popo and Kami!" Broly replied.

Lin Chen smiled, then looked up at Kami, who was walking toward them.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Chen stated his purpose: "Kami, I've come today hoping you can help me find the remaining Dragon Balls. I already have two of them here."

Lin Chen took out the two Dragon Balls he had collected.

Kami glanced at them, but said, "Mr. Lin Chen, I believe I told you in the past that I..."

"You don't know where the Dragon Balls are, is that it?"

Lin Chen cut Kami off: "Kami, help me this one time, and I can take you to see your homeland."

"Namek?"

Kami's eyes widened.

When Lin Chen brought Broly here last time, Kami had already learned that he was actually an alien from another planet.

As an alien orphan, he had always longed to return to his home world to see it for himself.

But Kami immediately frowned and shook his head: "No, I am the Guardian of Earth; I cannot leave this Lookout for too long."

Lin Chen immediately said: "Rest assured, it won't take long at all. I can use Instant Transmission; taking you to Namek will only take a single moment."

At this, Kami was finally completely swayed.

If it would only take a few hours, then it truly wouldn't be a problem.

And so, driven by the longing for home, Kami stopped stalling Lin Chen and immediately instructed Mr. Popo to gather all the remaining Dragon Balls.
