Relying on Instant Transmission, Lin Chen returned to the Gate of Time and Space with only half an hour having passed.

Using Instant Transmission at such high intensity was a first for Lin Chen.

Exhausted to the point of collapse upon his return, he couldn't help but gasp for air.

After catching his breath, Lin Chen looked at the Gate of Time and Space, which remained unchanged, and asked in his mind.

"System, can I confirm the target for the Gate of Time and Space now?"

"Ding! Responding to the host, please confirm the timeline you wish to travel to!"

"Then please let me go to the timeline where I can complete the third choice!"

The next moment, Lin Chen suddenly sensed a surge of power erupting from his body, striking the Gate of Time and Space.

Immediately, the blood-red color of the gate began to shift, transitioning gradually from its original crimson toward blue.

When the color finally stabilized into a deep blue, the system issued a prompt: "Ding! The Gate of Time and Space is locked. Please cross through as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen prepared to set off, but a thought suddenly occurred to him: "Right, System, how do I come back after I go over?"

This was something he had to clarify first.

"Ding! Responding to the host, after crossing, the Gate of Time and Space will leave a coordinate at the original location. If the host wishes to return, simply head back to that spot. However, once reopened, the gate will vanish; using it again will require consuming more Time Points."

Understood. So these Time Points are essentially a one-time round-trip ticket?

With that thought, Lin Chen hesitated no longer and dove headfirst into the Gate of Time and Space.

This was somewhere in the universe.

The time was unknown.

In the midst of a deathly silent darkness, a blood-red rift suddenly appeared in space where there should have been nothing.

The rift continued to spread outward, eventually settling into a rectangular spatial gate large enough for a person to pass through.

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly darted out, and immediately, the spatial gate behind him—the one formed from the rift—began to shrink rapidly, turning into a blood-red sphere almost invisible to the naked eye in the blink of an eye.

"So this is the parallel timeline where another Broly exists?"

The figure that emerged from the spatial gate was none other than Lin Chen, who had traversed through time.

Gazing at the dazzling stars surrounding him, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, then immediately activated Instant Transmission, heading toward the coordinates of Planet Vegeta as he remembered them.

Upon arriving at the location of Planet Vegeta from his original world, as expected, Lin Chen did not see the planet that had been relocated by Shenron.

Where Planet Vegeta should have been, there was now only void.

"This really is another world. Since that's the case, I'll go find Broly. I remember he was in the South Galaxy..."

In Lin Chen's memory, the story of the Legendary Super Saiyan's rampage took place in the South Galaxy.

This story was originally the plot of the Dragon Ball movie Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan.

The movie told of how, before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, King Vegeta feared that Paragus's son, Broly, would pose a threat to Vegeta, and thus had him killed.

Unexpectedly, neither Broly nor Paragus died; instead, they relied on Broly's power to survive the ordeal and reached the South Galaxy.

Later, Paragus used Broly's power to ravage the South Galaxy and established New Planet Vegeta, intending to take revenge on the surviving Saiyans, including Vegeta.

Now that the system required Lin Chen to liberate the South Galaxy from the control of the Legendary Super Saiyan, Lin Chen naturally had to head to the South Galaxy to track down Broly and the others.

He held his breath and focused for a moment, but then suddenly froze.

"Wait, where is the South Galaxy?"

Even in his original world, Lin Chen had never been to the South Galaxy, and he couldn't use Instant Transmission if he didn't know the location of his destination.

What now?

Lin Chen scratched his head.

Got it!

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

He remembered that in the story, Paragus traveled to Earth specifically to take revenge on Vegeta. If he timed it right, perhaps he could go along with them.

He just didn't know if the timeline of this world had progressed to the events of The Legendary Super Saiyan yet.

But if it hadn't, that was fine too; Lin Chen could simply find the Kami of this world, have him take him to the Otherworld, and then travel from the Otherworld to King Kai's Planet to find King Kai. He would be able to find the location of the South Galaxy that way.

When he appeared on Earth, Lin Chen realized at a glance that the era of this world was likely many years later than his original one.

Because he frequented West City, Lin Chen always made it his landing point whenever he used Instant Transmission to reach Earth.

This time was no exception.

However, when Lin Chen appeared above West City, he discovered that the city beneath his feet was significantly more prosperous than the one in his original world.

The city was filled with many billboards he had never seen before.

From this, he could conclude that this world's timeline was many years ahead of his own, and the plot of the Dragon Ball world had likely already begun.

He just wasn't sure what the exact year of the Age was at this moment...

After a moment of thought, Lin Chen emptied his mind and began to sense the ki across the entire planet. Very quickly, he discovered quite a few powerful auras.

Among them, several were clearly those of Saiyans, and one of them felt particularly familiar to him.

Is this... Vegeta?

Sure enough, if Vegeta was on Earth and no battle was taking place, then the time in this timeline could only be after the defeat of Frieza.

He just didn't know if the plot of the Super Battle had already arrived.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately utilized Instant Transmission, appearing in the vicinity of where Vegeta was located.

It was a cherry blossom forest, and the moment Lin Chen manifested, his aura was detected by everyone present.

"Who's there?"

The next instant, Lin Chen was surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing these familiar faces, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

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

The time in this timeline was indeed many years later than in his own world; looking at this, the Androids must have already appeared, right?

"Um... hello there!" Lin Chen waved at the group with a smile.

But his greeting did nothing to dispel the wariness of those before him.

Vegeta stared intently at Lin Chen, his gaze first sweeping over the battle armor Lin Chen wore before landing on the tail wrapped around his waist. He exclaimed, "A Saiyan? You're a Saiyan?"

"That's right, I am a Saiyan. My name is Lynx, though you can also call me by my Earth name, Lin Chen."
