The eight men used their influence across the entire planet to find Wang Shen and tell him:
The eight of them planned to invite Wang Shen to become the ninth member of their group, jointly rule the planet, and indulge in endless debauchery.
Wang Shen smiled faintly.
Share the world with me?
Do you think I never studied history?
As Wang Shen made his way to the appointed meeting, he felt the depravity and chaos all around him.
Angry shouts, anguished cries, and sinister laughter filled the air.
Strong men brazenly abused women by the roadside.
Robbery, murder, even torture and killing were everywhere.
On this dark planet, greed, anger, and delusion were rampant.
Many innocent, kind people had been abducted from other worlds by these lawless, utterly wicked criminals. They struggled to survive with their heads bowed as low as they could manage.
But even so, they could not escape the fate of being abused, tortured, and killed.
They prayed without respite for a true god to appear and save them from this hellish planet.
Wang Shen walked on with his eyes lowered, his heart heavy. He sighed inwardly:
"Vados, does even a planet like this have a reason to exist?"
There was no Hell Road here, nor any inheritance.
The only ones imprisoned were the weak and kind, the species who had been abducted.
These utterly wicked people, on the other hand, were completely free.
They were here only to evade the pursuit of the Galactic Patrol and the Saiyans, giving free rein to their most primal desires and sinking into depravity and chaos.
Wang Shen shook his head.
He had come here only to confirm that this place wasn't something like Slaughter City.
Otherwise, he would have wiped this planet out with a wave of his hand long ago.
Now he had his answer.
"I tried to observe this place from the perspective of a god, but in the end, I couldn't truly transcend it. Perhaps I still need a million years of reflection."
"If this were a prison, that would be one thing. But it isn't. It's a hell for good people, and I can't accept it."
Tap!
Wang Shen stopped and lifted his eyes.
Unlike last time,
this time the venue had been completely surrounded by their men.
Every one of them glared at Wang Shen with a murderous look.
The building itself was like an impregnable fortress.
Dozens of combat airships waited in the sky, their energy ready to fire.
An ordinary person would have been so terrified by the bone-chilling cold and their fearsome reputation that they would have collapsed on the spot.
The eight men didn't seem worried at all that Wang Shen might notice the setup and refuse to come.
Wang Shen narrowed his eyes, seemingly not even seeing any of it.
He continued walking inside and said with a soft laugh:
"Consider yourselves lucky. I've changed my mind. I'll let you live a little longer."
Then,
Wang Shen went inside and, before they could say a word, subdued them with decisive, thunderous force.
At the same time, he notified the Galactic Patrol and the Saiyans to come.
He had them escort all the innocent people who had been abducted back to their home planets.
Wang Shen's sharp gaze swept over the eight men. An invisible pressure forced them to the ground, where they trembled in fear.
"The game is over."
Wang Shen spoke indifferently, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"From now on, no one may leave this planet, though people may enter. Who agrees? Who objects?"
The eight men: "..."
"We agree."
In the end,
under Wang Shen's watch, all the people who had been abducted were safely transported away.
From the Galactic Patrol and the Saiyans, they learned who had saved them.
They knelt at Wang Shen's feet and asked their benefactor's name, tears streaming down their faces.
The day had finally come!
They had lived long enough to see it.
Wang Shen replied:
"My name is Wang Shen."
It was the first time he had revealed his real name in Universe 6.
Wang Shen went to the planet's surface and used the techniques he had learned on Planet Yardrat in Universe 7.
He placed an energy seal on the planet.
He had truly made it so that people could enter, but no one could leave!
After spending a long time on the planet,
just before leaving, Wang Shen watched the people of many different species who had been set free turn toward him and pray with heartfelt sincerity.
He felt his own spirit had been set free, too.
The clouds parted, revealing the clear sky.
He didn't want to be a god like an angel, indifferent to life and death and blind to good and evil.
So,
on the journey that followed, he stopped deliberately pursuing detachment and lofty superiority.
When the moment called for it, he acted.
He saved many species and planets.
He also encountered many people with malicious intentions, and many more whose greed knew no bounds.
Wang Shen felt he had made outstanding contributions to the development of Universe 6.
There was no way Champa would cause trouble for him.
Besides,
he wasn't without divine backing.
He was sure Beerus would gladly wake up early to pick a fight with his fat brother.
A year and a half later,
Wang Shen sat cross-legged inside the Shuttle Cube, beginning his journey back to Planet Sadala.
He smiled and said cheerfully:
"Though I didn't find a worthy opponent, the trip wasn't without its rewards."
"As for Hit, we'll meet again sooner or later. By then, I'm afraid I won't consider you my rival anymore."
"Time to go check on my two cheap disciples."
Let's go!
The Shuttle Cube turned into a streak of seven-colored light, cutting through the dark, vast universe as it sped toward a distant destination.
Planet Sadala.
King Sadala was the first to sense Wang Shen's return.
He warmly invited Karotis, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, to the palace to catch up, talk, and spar.
But Wang Shen flatly refused.
He didn't even notify his two disciples. Instead, he went back to his little house to rest.
He found that although he had been away for more than a year, the little house had still been kept spotless.
The delicate fragrance of a young woman even lingered in the air.
Wang Shen smiled faintly.
She really is quite thoughtful.
Then he lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.
Until—
On the third day, Caulifla and Kale found him.
Caulifla shouted excitedly:
"Karotis, you're finally back!"
"Get up! Stop sleeping! Where have you been for a year and a half? Get up and help us with our training!"
"Kale and I are so much stronger now, you'll be shocked!"
Kale simply watched as her energetic older sister forced their sleeping master to get up.
Wang Shen wore a pained expression and struggled.
"Caulifla, go do your morning training by yourself first. I'll be there soon."
But with Caulifla's formidable drive, how could she let Wang Shen keep sleeping in?
In the end, Wang Shen was dragged outside.
Caulifla eagerly demanded that he assess their training progress.
Wang Shen could only marvel:
"Geniuses blessed by heaven!"
In just a year and a half, Caulifla had not only mastered the Super Saiyan Full Power form,
but had also reached Super Saiyan 2, and had already advanced deeply into the form.
As for Kale,
because she hadn't unlocked the power of the legendary Super Saiyan, she was still in her Super Saiyan form.
Having left behind his wandering life in the universe,
Wang Shen finally settled down on Planet Sadala, teaching Caulifla and Kale and sparring with King Sadala as friends.
Until one day,
Wang Shen learned from King Sadala
that in recent years, a legend about someone called God Wang had suddenly begun circulating across the universe.
The story went that this god was kind, powerful, noble, and beyond reach...
King Sadala even asked Wang Shen if he knew the details behind it.
Hearing this, Wang Shen hurriedly waved his hands.
He said he knew nothing about it.
He had thought of a certain eraser, and the name God Wang made Wang Shen break out in a cold sweat.
At this point,
less than half a year remained before Whis would come to take Wang Shen back to Universe 7.
