"Where are we going, Grand Priest?"
"To revive your home. The angels have already gathered the Super Dragon Balls."
Goku and Vegeta were overwhelmed by the honor.
"There's no need for that, Grand Priest. Our home can be revived with Namek's Dragon Balls."
"It's all right. These are Grand Zeno's orders."
Goku and Vegeta had nothing more they could say. They could only silently remember this kindness. They had never expected Grand Zeno to have been thinking of them all along. He was completely different from the Grand Zeno of the Tournament of Power, who had heartlessly erased the universes that lost.
Before long, they arrived. Dragon Balls as large as planets floated through space, and with only a gentle lift of the Grand Priest's hand, they all moved toward him in orderly fashion.
Then the Grand Priest began murmuring an incantation, and the Dragon Balls slowly glowed in response. The moment the Grand Priest spoke the final line, the Dragon Balls began revealing their true form.
Amid an endless sea of stars, a colossal shadow slowly moved between the constellations. Its body was like a vast curtain, blocking out countless starlights. But it was no ordinary curtain—it was Super Shenron's body. Its skin was like the oldest stone, covered in the traces of time.
It was a creature so enormous it defied imagination. Each breath it took could shake galaxies, and each blink of its eyes could bring the flow of time to a halt.
As Shenron awakened, the surrounding space began to tremble violently. Waves of powerful energy radiated from Shenron's body, forming visible shockwaves one after another.
The shockwaves swept through the entire galaxy like a tsunami. The stars looked especially tiny before that power, their light dimming within the surging force.
Super Shenron slowly raised its head. Its breath was like a hurricane, and its eyes were like two enormous suns.
At that moment, the Grand Priest looked straight at Super Shenron, and Super Shenron looked back at them. Finally, the Grand Priest spoke.
"Restore your home, and restore all the humans on Earth. Do you have any other wishes? This Shenron can now grant three wishes."
"Th-three? Super Shenron can grant three wishes now?"
Goku and Vegeta stared at the Grand Priest in disbelief.
"Yes. Do you have any other wishes?"
"Grand Priest, sir, I want Beerus to be revived, but not as a God of Destruction. Just let him live by our side as an ordinary person."
Goku was still so softhearted. Even after Beerus had done something so extreme, he still remembered their old ties and wanted to revive Beerus.
"Why is that, Mr. Goku?"
"If Beerus is gone, won't Whis slowly die too?"
"It would not count as death. In human terms, it would be dormancy, until the next God of Destruction takes office. But he would retain the memories of every God of Destruction he served before."
"Whis is still better off staying with Beerus."
The Grand Priest nodded and stated those two wishes. Super Shenron responded, and Goku slowly felt that familiar aura return. But it gradually faded, until only a tiny bit of power remained—yet it was very pure power, no longer belonging to the power of destruction.
"Thank you, Grand Priest."
The Grand Priest looked at Vegeta and asked what wish Vegeta wanted.
"I want two Time Rings."
"Oh? Time Rings? Aren't those exclusive to the Tenth Universe? What do you want them for? Traveling through time and space is a grave crime."
"I won't do that. I want to use these two Time Rings to go to other universes whenever I want. I have a disciple in the Sixth Universe, and getting to them without relying on outside help is too slow."
The Grand Priest thought for a moment, but in the end, he still cast the incantation.
Two Time Rings appeared in Vegeta's hand. He took one off and gave it to Goku, and after Super Shenron completed its task, it dispersed to every corner of the universe.
Then the Grand Priest looked at the two of them. He cast another incantation, and though the two of them had still been before his eyes a moment ago, once they closed their eyes, they arrived on Earth. Looking at their restored home and friends, both of them let out a long breath of relief.
Goku looked at Vegeta. He knew Vegeta definitely hadn't taken the Time Rings just to go find Cabba. There had to be another reason. But he had no intention of asking right now. After all, Goku himself had obtained a Time Ring too.
"Kakarot, let's go home first."
Goku did not think too much about it right now. After all, he really did not have any extra brains left to ponder this kind of thing. All he wanted now was to eat the food Chi-Chi made, then have a nice, long sleep. Of course, Vegeta was certainly no exception.
"Okay."
