Old Supreme Kai offered a metaphor: "Beerus represents the death of the entire universe. Any planet that catches his eye can be destroyed with a single sneeze."

"He can wipe out a planet just like that, and if the sneeze is powerful enough, an entire galaxy—like the solar system—would be completely obliterated!"

What a terrifying power; a single sneeze could destroy the entire solar system.

East Supreme Kai was stunned. This was far more formidable than Majin Buu!

In the presence of Beerus, Majin Buu was nothing more than a little brother—a mere toddler!

The God of Destruction's power was the strongest existence in the universe.

Unless Zeno, that eraser of worlds, took action against Beerus directly, Beerus was invincible.

Gohan understood well that among the dozen or so universes, the strength of God of Destruction Beerus ranked near the top.

Even Jiren could not actually surpass Beerus. Among the Gods of Destruction of the 12 universes, Beerus was truly powerful!

The threat this time was immense, and Gohan did not believe he possessed the same luck as Son Goku to persuade Beerus.

Furthermore, he had no intention of currying favor with Beerus or acting like a dog, as Vegeta did.

His goal was to surpass Beerus; if the other party wanted to destroy Earth, he would simply use force to stop him.

With a serious expression, Gohan spoke without hesitation: "Old Supreme Kai, I want to use the Time Ring. It is the only way to change the fate of Earth's destruction."

"Now that Beerus has awakened, his target is definitely Earth. When that happens, the entire solar system will be destroyed, and the universe will fall into chaos!"

Old Supreme Kai began to ponder. He considered Beerus's temperament and realized that, given his personality, he was truly capable of such a thing.

He hesitated and said: "The Time Ring is a very precious item of the Supreme Kais. If it falls into the wrong hands, it poses a great threat to the entire universe!"

This time, Gohan did not speak; East Supreme Kai spoke up on his behalf.

"Lord Old Supreme Kai, Gohan can definitely be trusted. He helped us eliminate Majin Buu; he is certainly not a bad person."

"For the sake of Earth's peace, we can let him use the ring. Perhaps he has a way to stop Beerus!"

Hearing East Supreme Kai's words, Old Supreme Kai no longer hesitated and nodded directly.

"Young man, what you say is true. Although I feel there is little hope, it is worth a try!"

"Wait here while I go retrieve the ring and hand it to you!"

Gohan smiled, not expecting it to be so easy to obtain.

In less than ten minutes, Old Supreme Kai returned from his vault with the Time Ring, the only one of its kind in the universe.

This ring was indeed precious, possessing abilities akin to those of an Angel!

Once used, one could traverse time and space, though there were many limitations.

Old Supreme Kai handed it over with a solemn expression and gave a few instructions.

"The Time Ring can alter space-time and traverse two timelines. Not only is there a time limit, but even if you travel to the future or the past, you must not change them at will. Otherwise, you will split the timeline and create unnecessary space-time rifts, which would have massive repercussions!"

The item was indeed complex, but Gohan had no intention of changing the past or future.

Because on this timeline, changing the past or future would only create redundant timelines and would not affect this world at all.

It was just like Future Trunks's time travel!

Even if he traveled to this timeline and killed a monster, the monster in his own timeline would still exist upon his return.

Therefore, time travel was not as fun as it seemed!

Right now, Gohan only wanted to use its ability to traverse parallel universes to search for the Super Dragon Balls.

With the ring in hand, he had no intention of returning it. Committed to protecting Earth, he simply took it.

After a brief farewell, he did not linger and vanished instantly from the Supreme Kai Planet.

He left the two Supreme Kais behind to discuss the matter of Beerus's resurrection.

Even with their limited abilities, they wanted to try and stop Beerus from wreaking havoc!

Upon his return, Gohan held the special ring in his hand.

He appeared before Android 18, Future Trunks, and Bulma.

Bulma's eyes lit up as she was the first to notice the Time Ring, and she approached with curiosity.

"Gohan, is this the Time Ring? Is this thing more useful than Trunks's time machine?"

Gohan smiled as he put on the ring, feeling its many uses; it was quite convenient to operate.

"Indeed. This ring functions like Trunks's time machine, but it has an additional ability: it can tear through space-time!"

"It can travel between different universes!"

Bulma's jaw dropped, and Future Trunks was equally surprised that such a convenient tool existed.

He said happily: "Then, Master Gohan, we can use this ring to find the Super Dragon Balls. This is great!"

"When are we leaving?"

This Future Trunks was really clinging to him, and looking at Android 18 beside him, she seemed quite interested as well.

If possible, Videl might even want to tag along for the fun of it.

Having this guy follow him around wasn't exactly being a third wheel.

With a serious expression, he spoke directly.

"Trunks, the key for you right now is to focus your time on training for Super Saiyan 3. I plan to make a trip to your future world."

"Before that, I am going to teach you what the Super Saiyan 3 transformation is!"

Future Trunks straightened his expression, looking earnest: "Understood, Master Gohan. I will comprehend it with the utmost seriousness."

If this guy just ran around with him and ignored his own timeline, the future world would definitely be destroyed!

He had to admit, Future Trunks was sometimes a bit single-minded, yet unlike the average Saiyan, this guy had a sharp mind.

With his decent abilities, he was well-suited to be recruited as a subordinate.

He prepared to give him a proper lesson, calling Future Trunks to the training grounds before setting off to search for the Super Dragon Balls.

The first step was to have Future Trunks comprehend and train for the Super Saiyan 3 transformation!

"Trunks, I am about to teach you the method for the Super Saiyan 3 transformation. Super Saiyan 3 is different from Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 1."

"How should I put it? Super Saiyan 3 is a combination of Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 1, yet its power far exceeds 1+1. I'll demonstrate it for you first!"

After speaking, he transformed directly into Super Saiyan 3, causing Future Trunks' expression to shift as he watched Gohan's ki soar instantly.

Although it wasn't as powerful as the Super Saiyan God, he could truly feel this ki; it was undeniably formidable!

It was power that completely surpassed Super Saiyan 2, and it looked like his speed wouldn't be diminished much after this transformation either!

This was simply perfect!
