Preliminaries Begin! The Entire Universe Gathers!

Now!

Universe 7, Earth...

The crowd was gathered together helplessly. They had heard the news, and now they were all looking at Goku with unfriendly expressions!

Goku originally wanted to keep it a secret, but Jiang Yun still told the others. Hiding it wouldn't have made any difference, as they would find out eventually anyway. However, this matter wasn't known to everyone; it was enough that only a few of them knew!

After all, if it fails, it will disappear; there's no need to make it public and cause unnecessary trouble!

But isn't this a great source of material?

Only after experiencing despair can the martial arts of Earth enter a more prosperous era! But that's a matter for later.

According to the knowledge of Qi cultivation passed down by Jiang Yun, the cultivation stages below the Divine Realm are very detailed, although not all of them are popularized, only the core aspects are popularized!

However, profound knowledge cannot be understood without reaching a certain level of attainment. Nevertheless, cultivation methods are much more sophisticated and easier now than before, and some people even specialize in studying cultivation.

Turtle Hermit is now more like a playful old man, and he's even more enthusiastic about teaching Earth's geniuses how to cultivate. Of course, Turtle Hermit teaches girls more often, and Jiang Yun suspects that this old lecher is just a womanizer!

However, there are male students among them. They are only taught those with exceptional talent. After all, although Turtle Hermit is a bit disrespectful to his elders, he is reliable when it comes to important matters!

Although his cultivation level isn't very high, his understanding of realms has been increasing in recent years. Jiang Yun would believe that Turtle Hermit could become a god on the spot in the future!

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

Have you decided on the participants yet?

Jiang Yun looked at the arguing group and said, "This matter is actually not about Goku, but he doesn't need to say such a crucial thing. Saying it would only cause him trouble!"

"Oh, right! So, who will be chosen as the contestant?"

"I think, to be on the safe side, let Jiang Yun, Goku, and Vegeta go on stage!"

Jiang Yun expressed no interest in this, after all, their opponent this time was the Universe 9, the universe with the lowest human level!

It's only reached half of what was once the Universe 7 —and remember, that was once!

"Oh! You're not participating!"

Jiang Yun's words instantly shocked everyone!

"What are you thinking? After so many years of cultivation, we have defeated all the powerful enemies we have faced. Do you really think you are weak?"

"You once fought against the God of Destruction. Think about Earth now, how much stronger have you become? You are in no way inferior to the people of other universes!"

"You've been comparing yourselves to Goku, but do you know that Goku is also a very powerful being in other universes!"

"Summon your confidence! Without the will to climb to the summit, how can you ever reach the top! If the world is an obstacle for me, then try to transcend the world! Nothing is impossible!"

Jiang Yun's words shocked everyone, but Vegeta just smiled and curled up his lips!

The strongest person can only be me, and even you are no exception, Jiang Yun!

The others were instantly stunned by Jiang Yun's words!

Once upon a time, each of them was the protagonist of their own story; now, they believe even more strongly that Jiang Yun, Vegeta Goku, and others are the true protagonists.

Their thoughts returned to the beginning, one thing after another flashing through their minds: enemies, growing stronger with each passing moment, finally settling on the present.

When they looked up again, something seemed different!

"In that case, I recommend Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha to participate in this preliminary round!"

Krillin was a little surprised when Jiang Yun mentioned his name. Was Goku and the others really not needed to come?

We were the weakest among everyone present!

"Hmph! Since that's the case, let them make their appearance! Jiang Yun won't be wrong!"

Vegeta leaned against the tree with a slight smile on his lips. He trusted Jiang Yun completely; Jiang Yun had always been both a mentor and a friend to him.

"Yeah! Krillin and the others won't let us down!"

Goku also said happily, pleased that Krillin and the others had gained Jiang Yun's approval!

"It's about time, let's go find the Supreme Kai and the others!"

Jiang Yun said slowly, and everyone realized that the deadline was approaching!

"What? You're saying Jiang Yun isn't participating in the preliminaries, and even Vegeta and Goku aren't participating!"

Upon hearing what they said, Beerus flew into a rage!

"Beerus, don't worry. Haven't you seen how strong Krillin and the others are? They're more than capable of participating in the preliminaries!"

After Jiang Yun said that, Beerus calmed down, stared at the three of them with wide eyes, and seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Ahem! Their strength should be quite good as well. It's also beneficial for you guys to hide your strength and unleash your true power during the actual competition!"

"Oh ho ho ho!!!"

"Lord Beerus is really stubborn!"

With a smile, Whis decided on the candidates. Whis then led everyone to their palace. Using the Supreme Kai's Instant Transmission, their eyes lit up, and the nine of them appeared in the Zeno's Palace. At that moment, their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the people of Universe 9!

Krillin and the others naturally noticed the other party's presence. As their opponent, they dared not underestimate him and gradually began to take him seriously after they could no longer sense his aura!

A worthy opponent from the Divine Realm? I knew it; there are powerful opponents in other universes too!

"Don't worry, it's not what you imagine. You don't need to worry about their strength; what you should worry about is whether they'll resort to underhanded tactics!"

"Knew!"

Even with Jiang Yun's reminder, they did not underestimate their opponent, who was, after all, a powerful being from the universe, and very likely the strongest being in the universe!

Apart from the people from Universe 9, most of the people from other universes are combinations of Supreme Kai of God of Destruction, and Angel!

Jiang Yun silently observed the group of people in front of him. Although he had always known about these God of Destruction, this was the first time he had met them, apart from Beerus and Champa!

Jiang Yun has observed all the God of Destruction from various universes. To be honest, apart from one human woman who resembles an ancient Egyptian, almost none of the God of Destruction look normal.

Beerus is a cat, his nemesis is a mouse, there's an elephant named Rumsshi, and God of Destruction who looks like a sea creature. In short, most of them seem to be animal-type aliens!

However, Jiang Yun was already used to the existence of different races in the universe!

Soon, Grand Zeno arrived, but Goku didn't rush up to greet Grand Zeno like he did in the original story. After all, this was a real world, and Goku wouldn't act rudely in this situation; otherwise, it wouldn't just be rudeness, it would be brainlessness!

Although Goku has a childlike heart, it doesn't mean he's unintelligent. In fact, Goku is much smarter than most people think!
