Traveling Through Time to a Familiar Yet Strange World

With Instant Transmission, Lin Chen returned to the Gate of Time and Space only half an hour later.

Using Instant Transmission so rapidly and so many times in a row was a first for Lin Chen.

By the time he got back, he was practically dead on his feet. He couldn't help panting heavily.

After catching his breath for a while, Lin Chen looked at the unchanged Gate of Time and Space before him and asked in his mind,

"System, can you confirm the Gate of Time and Space's destination now?"

"Ding! Replying to the host: please confirm the time and space you wish to visit!"

"Then send me to a time and space where I can complete Choice Three!"

The next moment, Lin Chen suddenly sensed a force shoot out from his body and strike the Gate of Time and Space.

The gate's blood-red color began to change, gradually shifting from red to blue.

When its color finally settled into a deep blue, the system chimed: "Ding! The Gate of Time and Space has been locked on. Please travel through it as soon as possible!"

At that, Lin Chen prepared to set off, but then he suddenly remembered something. "Wait, System. How do I get back after I go through?"

He had to make sure of that first.

"Ding! Replying to the host: after the host travels through the Gate of Time and Space, it will leave behind coordinates. To return, the host only needs to go back to the same place. However, after the gate is opened again, it will disappear. Using it next time will require another expenditure of Time Points."

Got it. So Time Points were basically like a round-trip ticket that could only be used once?

With that thought, Lin Chen hesitated no longer. He headed straight for the Gate of Time and Space and dove through.

Somewhere in the universe.

The time was unknown.

In the darkness, which had been utterly still, a blood-red rift suddenly appeared in a space that should have been empty.

The rift spread in every direction, then settled into a rectangular portal large enough for a person to pass through.

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly shot out. Behind him, the portal formed from the rift rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a blood-red sphere almost too small to see.

"So this is the parallel time and space where another Broly exists?"

The figure who had emerged from the portal was Lin Chen, who had traveled through time and space.

Gazing at the dazzling stars around him, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. Then he used Instant Transmission to head for the coordinates of Planet Vegeta, as he remembered them.

At the spot where Planet Vegeta had been in his original world, Lin Chen found, just as he'd expected, that the planet Shenron had moved was nowhere to be seen.

The place where Planet Vegeta should have been was still empty.

"This really is another world. In that case, I should go find Broly. I remember he was in the South Galaxy..."

In Lin Chen's memory, the story about the Legendary Super Saiyan's rampage had taken place in the South Galaxy.

It was originally the plot of the Dragon Ball movie Burning Battle! Fierce Battle! Super Battle.

The movie told how, before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, King Vegeta had feared that Paragus's son Broly would pose a threat to Vegeta, so he ordered Broly killed.

But Broly and Paragus had both survived. They had escaped thanks to Broly's power and made their way to the South Galaxy.

After that, Paragus used Broly's power to wreak havoc across the South Galaxy. He also established New Planet Vegeta, planning to take revenge on the surviving Saiyans, including Vegeta.

Since the system wanted Lin Chen to free the South Galaxy from the Legendary Super Saiyan's control, he naturally had to head there and find Broly and the others.

Lin Chen focused and steadied his breathing, but then he suddenly froze.

"Wait, where is the South Galaxy?"

Even in his original world, Lin Chen had never been to the South Galaxy. And if he didn't know where a destination was, he couldn't use Instant Transmission to get there.

What was he supposed to do?

Lin Chen scratched his head.

Got it!

The next moment, he used Instant Transmission again, but this time his destination was Earth.

He remembered that, in the story, Paragus had gone to Earth specifically to take revenge on Vegeta. If Lin Chen arrived at the right time, perhaps he could go with them.

The only question was whether the timeline in this world had reached the events of Super Battle yet.

But even if it hadn't, that was no problem. Lin Chen could find this world's Kami and ask him to take him to Otherworld. From there, he could go to King Kai's Planet and find King Kai. He could learn where the South Galaxy was that way, too.

When Lin Chen appeared on Earth, he immediately realized that this world's era was probably many years later than the one he'd come from.

Since he often visited West City, whenever Lin Chen used Instant Transmission to reach Earth, he always stopped there first.

This time was no different.

But when Lin Chen appeared over West City, he saw that the city below was far more prosperous than the West City in his original world.

There were also many billboards around the city that he'd never seen before.

That was enough to tell him that this world was many years ahead of his original one. The events of Dragon Ball must have already begun.

He just didn't know the exact year in the Age.

After thinking it over, Lin Chen cleared his mind and began sensing the energy signatures across the planet. Before long, he detected quite a few powerful ones.

Several clearly belonged to Saiyans, and one of them even seemed somewhat familiar.

Could that be... Vegeta?

Sure enough, Vegeta was on Earth, and there hadn't been a battle. That meant this time and space could only be set after Frieza's defeat.

The only question was whether the events of Super Battle had begun yet.

With that thought, Lin Chen used Instant Transmission and appeared near Vegeta.

He found himself in a grove of cherry blossoms. As soon as Lin Chen appeared, the people there sensed his presence.

"Who are you?"

The next moment, a group of people surrounded Lin Chen.

Seeing their familiar faces, Lin Chen couldn't help feeling wistful.

Vegeta, Future Trunks, Son Gohan, and also Master Roshi, Bulma, Oolong, and the others.

This world's timeline really was many years ahead of his. Judging by the scene, the Androids had already appeared, hadn't they?

"Um... hello, everyone!" Lin Chen greeted them with a wave and a smile.

But his greeting did nothing to ease their wariness.

Vegeta stared intently at Lin Chen. His gaze first swept over the Battle Suit Lin Chen was wearing, then fell on the tail coiled around his waist. He exclaimed, "A Saiyan? You're a Saiyan?"

"That's right, I'm a Saiyan named Lynx. You can also call me by my Earth name, Lin Chen."
