Background

Lin Chen transmigrated into the body of a fourteen-year-old, low-class Saiyan in Age 733, four years before Planet Vegeta’s scheduled destruction. Upon arrival, he became bound to the Strongest Choice System, which forced him to choose between defeating Frieza, the Supreme Kai, or the God of Destruction; failure to complete a selected mission before Planet Vegeta’s destruction would erase him. He chose Frieza, seeking the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline as his reward. 2

Unable to gain sufficient strength through ordinary training, Lin Chen traveled to Namek. He spent a year passing the Namekians’ tests of wisdom, courage, and combat ability before striking an agreement with the Grand Elder: in exchange for protecting Namek three times in the future, he received a full potential unlock and three uses of Namek’s Dragon Balls. 2 10

With his combat power above 110,000, Lin Chen returned to Planet Vegeta, defeated King Vegeta, seized the royal insignia, and declared himself the Saiyans’ new king. He then organized a rebellion against Frieza, using King Vegeta’s authority and Bardock’s precognition to convince the Saiyans that Frieza intended to destroy their world. 1 3

During Frieza’s arrival, Lin Chen concealed his ki, infiltrated Frieza’s ship amid the Saiyans’ Great Ape assault, and transformed himself. His Great Ape shockwave struck Frieza before the emperor could transform, completing the system’s first mission and earning the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline. 4

Lin Chen delayed the bloodline fusion because it required five years of physical reconstruction. Before entering his slumber, he appointed King Vegeta, Bardock, and Paragus to maintain order, ended the practice of sending Saiyan infants away on missions, and chose to raise Broly rather than kill or exile him. 5 6

Reign and Saiyan Reforms

After awakening, Lin Chen returned to find Planet Vegeta devastated by Turles and the Tree of Might. He defeated Turles, destroyed the Tree, and released its absorbed energy back into the planet, restoring Planet Vegeta. 11 16

As king, Lin Chen began reshaping Saiyan society rather than preserving its former culture of conquest.

• Lifted Planet Vegeta’s space-travel restrictions. 17
• Ordered Paragus to create laws for a society that had previously recognized only strength. 17
• Used Gravity Rooms, Medical Machines, Healing Tanks, Senzu Beans, and Fruits of the Tree of Might to accelerate Saiyan training. 18 22 23 25
• Established the Saiyan Peacekeeping Force as a special armed unit that supports the Galactic Patrol against threats it cannot handle. Bardock became its commander. 25 26
• Framed the Saiyans’ long-term goal as becoming a legion of Super Saiyans, Super Saiyan 2s, and eventually Super Saiyan Gods. 17

Appearance

Lin Chen has the traits of a Saiyan, including a tail normally wrapped around his waist. He is seen wearing Saiyan battle armor when entering the parallel timeline. 49

• Great Ape form — Enlarges into a giant ape through Blutz Wave exposure. 4
• Super Saiyan form — Hair becomes golden and his pupils turn blue. 29
• Energy shield — His Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline can manifest a protective barrier around his body, allowing him to survive in space. 35

Personality

Lin Chen is calculating and highly goal-oriented. He spent four years preparing an assassination plan against a vastly stronger Frieza, relying on intelligence, ki suppression, artificial moons, and the Saiyan rebellion rather than direct confrontation. 2 3 4

Although he pursues overwhelming power and openly intends to build a Saiyan Empire, he rejects the Saiyans’ cold-blooded traditions. His decision to raise Broly, preserve Earth’s original course, and turn Saiyans into peacekeepers reflects his intent to replace Saiyan conquest with stability and growth. 6 17 23 25

He can also be ruthless toward enemies. After Frieza returned and killed Hanasia and other Saiyans, Lin Chen refused Frieza’s pleas for mercy and killed him with Frieza’s own Death Beam. 34 37

Lin Chen is capable of self-correction. When Broly refused to spar because he had come to Earth to escape constant fighting, Lin Chen recognized that he was repeating the behavior Broly feared and accepted his choice. 45 46

Abilities & Skills

Strongest Choice System

Lin Chen’s system presents mandatory major choices and grants rewards for completing their conditions.

Ki Control

Protecting Namek and Defeating Pegan

After his five-year fusion, Lin Chen fulfilled part of his promise to the Namekian Grand Elder by protecting Namek from Pegan’s pirate force. He defeated Pegan and destroyed the invading fleet alone. 8 9 10

Frieza’s Final Death

When Frieza reappeared and killed Hanasia during an attack on Tiwei Planet, Lin Chen confronted him as a Super Saiyan. He exposed Frieza’s false claim of possessing over 100 million combat power, defeated him, and ultimately killed him with Death Beam. 34 35 36 37

Parallel Timeline Mission

The system tasked Lin Chen with dealing with a berserk Broly from another timeline. To prepare, he sought information from Zuno, trained under Mr. Popo, obtained Time Metal through Porunga, unlocked the Gate of Time and Space, and crossed into the designated parallel world. 39 45 46 47 48 49
