Age 762.
Universe 7.
The Other World, Snake Way.
Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
Where was he?
Wasn't this Snake Way?
He remembered Shenron taking him away...
Why had he brought him here?
Sun Wukong immediately checked his body.
Huh? He'd grown up again?
Where was his tail?
Why was his tail gone?
Then Sun Wukong lifted his head and looked up, seeing the golden halo above him.
"So... I'm still dead?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.
Never mind. He should go see how Earth was doing first.
Were Pan and Gohan all right?
Hmm... Sun Wukong pressed his index and middle fingers together against his forehead, intending to use Instant Transmission to return to Earth.
But no matter how hard Sun Wukong tried, he couldn't use Instant Transmission.
How strange!
He suddenly felt like his body was really weak!
How could he not even use Instant Transmission?
And his control over ki and the strength of his energy felt... as if he'd gone back thirty years.
Snake Way?
He'd go see King Kai first!
Maybe King Kai knew what had happened.
He clearly remembered Shenron taking him into outer space, and then his consciousness had gradually faded.
Sun Wukong immediately took off and sped along Snake Way.
This body... was so weak!
What on earth had happened?
Soon, Sun Wukong reached the end of Snake Way and immediately looked up at the sky.
"I'm still in the same old familiar place!" Sun Wukong grinned and quickly flew toward King Kai's Planet in the sky.
The next moment, Sun Wukong hovered above King Kai's Planet, only to be pulled down by its ten times Earth gravity. He nearly fell.
Sun Wukong: "..."
What was going on?
Could this body not even handle ten times gravity now?
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and struggled against the weight pressing down on him.
Then he slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground of King Kai's Planet.
"King Kai, I'm here! Are you still sleeping?" Sun Wukong shouted, then suddenly felt that something was off.
Hadn't this planet exploded back when Cell was around?
When had it been restored?
After he finished speaking,
a black chimpanzee walked over from a distance, staring at Sun Wukong without expression.
"Hey, Bubbles! How are you? Long time no see." Sun Wukong waved in greeting.
Bubbles: "????"
Who were you? Were you always this familiar with people?
How did you know him?
"Where's King Kai? Is he still sleeping?" Sun Wukong asked.
Bubbles pointed toward the house, studying Sun Wukong with curiosity.
Sun Wukong had only just looked over when King Kai came out of the house, rubbing his bleary eyes and frowning. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"King Kai, when did you restore this planet?" Sun Wukong asked in confusion. "Wasn't it destroyed a long time ago?"
King Kai: "????"
What nonsense were you talking about?
"By the way, King Kai... why have I suddenly grown up? Shouldn't I look like a little kid?" Sun Wukong scratched his head, even more bewildered, then pointed to the halo above him. "And how did I die? Was it because of the Evil Dragon?"
King Kai was even more bewildered than Sun Wukong.
What the hell...
How did you die? You came here to ask me?
What the hell was an Evil Dragon?
Who knew what you were talking about!
"How's Earth? The Evil Dragon has been defeated, right? Are Pan and Gohan all right?" Sun Wukong asked several more questions in quick succession.
King Kai was thoroughly confused, with question marks all over his face.
Was this kid sick or something?
"So, what are you doing here?" King Kai asked with a frown after patiently listening to him.
"I came here to ask you all those questions. Don't you know?" Sun Wukong sensed that something was off. He looked King Kai up and down, then murmured, "You don't seem to know much... Maybe I should ask Old Supreme Kai?"
"Y-you said what? Supreme Kai?" King Kai felt as if his whole world had just fallen apart.
This kid had no manners.
He was standing right there, and the brat wanted to go ask his boss, the greatest god in the universe—Supreme Kai.
Did he think that was appropriate?
"But I can't use Instant Transmission... It's so strange, and my body's much weaker than before." Sun Wukong scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"You know Supreme Kai?" King Kai's mouth twitched as he asked cautiously.
"Yeah, we're close." Sun Wukong nodded.
"By the way, what's your name?" King Kai's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked.
Sun Wukong: "????"
"I'm Goku, of course. What's wrong with you, King Kai? Did you burn your brain?" Sun Wukong stepped forward and studied King Kai closely, feeling more and more that something wasn't right.
A brief silence.
"By the way... what year is it now?" Sun Wukong suddenly realized something and looked around as he asked.
"You're from Earth, right? In your Earth's terms, it's Age 762." King Kai rolled his eyes at Sun Wukong and answered coolly.
This guy had to be an idiot. He'd even forgotten what year it was.
Sun Wukong froze.
Age 762?
Gohan had been born in Age 757...
Five years had passed?
So Gohan was only five now?
At this point in time... had I died because Raditz, my older brother, and I had killed each other?
Could it be... that I'd been reincarnated?
No wonder this body felt so strange!
I'd finally figured out what had happened!
I finally knew why King Kai didn't recognize me.
At this point, I must have just arrived on King Kai's Planet.
All right!
Since I'd been given another life, I had to train hard. I couldn't let the likes of Baby and the Evil Dragons wreak havoc again.
I had to become a Super Saiyan 4 as soon as possible.
I should start by overcoming this planet's gravity!
"Hey, kid, what are you standing there daydreaming about?" King Kai glared at Sun Wukong with a frown.
What kind of nonsense had this kid been spouting since he arrived?
"Ah... it's nothing. I just figured out a lot of things." Sun Wukong laughed and scratched his head sheepishly.
"You brat... do you really know Supreme Kai?" King Kai asked dubiously.
"Hahaha, well enough." Sun Wukong gave a vague answer.
King Kai: "..."
This kid really wasn't very likable.
"King Kai, can I train here for a while?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
"You came here to train?" King Kai finally understood.
"Yeah." Sun Wukong nodded and stretched, smiling. "Now that I've figured out what happened, things should be simple."
"Since you've come here to train... you have to tell me a funny joke first. Otherwise, I won't teach you." King Kai snorted.
