Snake Way and King Kai's Planet (Changed the book cover, what do you all think?)

On Snake Way, four figures were sprinting swiftly along its surface.

The four were none other than Son Goku, Son Gohan, and the others, but aside from Son Gohan, the other three did not look too good.

After all, they had already been running on Snake Way for a full four days!

Even with bodies far stronger than ordinary people's, after running for four days straight without sleep or rest, everyone still felt a little worn out.

And it was not just physically—even mentally, traces of fatigue had begun to appear.

Only Son Gohan remained calm, because he knew the plot well and knew that Snake Way's total length was one million kilometers.

In the original work, Son Goku had started out flying with the Flight Technique, then later switched to running in order to conserve energy, and it had still taken him a full six months to arrive.

Of course, that excluded the time he spent running again after falling off Snake Way, but even counting everything as tightly as possible, it was still three to four months.

Right now, everyone's strength had improved greatly compared to the original at this point, but they still needed a certain amount of running time.

On this point, Son Gohan wanted to say something but could not, so he could only keep his head down and continue running.

In the original work, because Son Goku had no way to carry food, he had nearly starved until he had no strength left, but Son Gohan would not make that mistake.

He had long since brought along a large bag of Senzu Beans, and as long as one bean was split into four pieces, it could keep them from feeling hungry for at least four days.

It was precisely thanks to the Senzu Beans Son Gohan had brought that everyone was able to keep running on Snake Way without stopping.

On the fifth day, the four of them still came to a stop, lying directly on Snake Way to rest and recover their strength. After all, if they kept running like this, even an iron man would be unable to hold out.

While resting, Son Goku looked at Raditz and asked, "Can you tell me what kind of person Mother was?"

Raditz was stunned when he heard this, because ever since they had first met, Son Goku had barely said a word to him, as if he still could not accept his new identity.

"Mother's name was Gine. She was a gentle woman. She didn't like fighting, so she was assigned to the logistics department and was responsible for processing ingredients for the warriors and such."

"Father and Mother had a very good relationship. The two of them almost never quarreled. Mother doted on both me and you, and she almost never hit or scolded us."

And just like that, Raditz kept talking, and Son Goku kept listening.

From this, Son Gohan could tell that Son Goku was actually not a completely carefree person. He was clearly immersed in memories of his mother.

After all, judging from how Krillin's death in the original work had made him fly into a rage and turn into a Super Saiyan, Son Goku still valued feelings very much.

After resting for about half a day, the four of them ate Senzu Beans and set off again.

However, Son Gohan could very clearly sense that Son Goku's eyes contained a different emotion, something he could not quite put into words.

On the road, Son Gohan was also thinking about a few things.

That was, aside from Son Goku's childhood, Dragon Ball was essentially divided into the two anime series Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Kai. As for their release dates, there was no need to mention them.

The difference between the two was that Dragon Ball Z had a lot of Toei Company's original plotlines that were not in the manga, such as Princess Snake and the red and blue ogres.

Dragon Ball Kai, on the other hand, followed the manga's plot and did not have those newly added characters.

Judging from the days that had passed since then, this world still followed the world created by Akira Toriyama as its standard, and had not added those original Toei storylines.

Then next, only King Kai's Planet remained!

During this period, Son Gohan strangely comprehended a skill: maintaining mental training while running.

In truth, running had a comprehensive tempering effect on the muscles throughout the body, and could also greatly train the body's endurance.

But Son Gohan was able to keep up with everyone while also maintaining meditation to train his mind.

The other three naturally noticed this scene as well, but they would not risk their lives to learn from a guy like Son Gohan and play around like that.

If they accidentally fell off, who knew what might happen?

During the remaining days, everyone maintained full-speed running as much as possible, and with their speed, they soon reached their destination—the tail end of Snake Way.

When they stopped, three of the four looked left and right, wanting to find the so-called King Kai's Planet.

Only Son Gohan raised his head and looked at the planet hanging in the center of the sky.

Noticing the gaze of the person beside them, the other three reacted as well and looked toward the small planet hanging in the sky.

"That's King Kai's Planet?" Son Goku asked in confusion.

Son Gohan nodded, and the other two immediately showed relaxed expressions. After all, anyone who had run through the same environment for several months straight would suffer tremendous psychological pressure.

"How do we get there?" Piccolo, who had rarely spoken, asked at this moment.

After all, judging by the distance, Snake Way was at least a thousand meters away from the four of them. Although all four of them could fly through the air, who knew whether there were traps waiting for them here?

Son Gohan did not say much. His body suddenly lowered into a half-crouch, and then he abruptly erupted with an incomparably fierce force, shooting himself out like a bullet toward King Kai's Planet diagonally above them.

Seeing this, the other three did not hesitate either. They also drove power through both legs, leaping up and charging straight toward King Kai's Planet.

As soon as they reached the sky, Son Gohan and the other three successively felt a gravitational force begin to act on their bodies, after which they rapidly drew closer to King Kai's Planet.

The fact that King Kai's Planet could have ten times gravity meant that the planet's mass density was astonishing, and it also meant that this planet's gravitational capture range was extremely large.

Very soon, under the pull of gravity, the four quickly landed on King Kai's Planet.

Unlike in the original work, where Son Goku had been pressed to the ground as soon as he arrived, all four of them had long since experienced an environment of ten times gravity, so they still seemed quite relaxed.

But Son Gohan discovered that things were somewhat beyond his expectations. The ten times gravity here seemed to be because the planet was too small, and it was far stronger than ordinary ten times gravity.

Sensing carefully, Son Gohan also discovered that as long as he moved, the gravity would fluctuate.

To be precise, the moment Son Gohan exercised on this planet, the gravity would begin to rise accordingly, possibly reaching just under eleven times normal gravity.

"Who are you?"

Just as the four of them had no idea what to do, a small car suddenly drove over. Sitting in the driver's seat was a short, chubby man with blue skin and a pair of sunglasses.

Son Gohan naturally knew who the newcomer was when he saw him. He gave a respectful salute and said, "Greetings, respected Lord King Kai. We come from..."

In front of King Kai, Son Gohan quickly and concisely explained the origins of the four of them.
