"The matter is more or less settled. It's time to head back." Malvis swept his gaze across everyone present, then turned to Dende beside him and solemnly reminded him, "Earth is a disaster-prone planet. You need to be prepared to revive a great many people at once."
He deliberately left them ample time to catch up and say their farewells after so long apart.
A short while later, everyone had gathered. Malvis gestured for them to grab hold of him as they had when they arrived. In the next instant, his figure flashed, and he vanished from the unfamiliar planet with everyone in tow.
In the blink of an eye, they landed safely on the platform of Kami's Lookout.
After landing, Goku immediately bid everyone farewell and set off to bring Gohan and Krillin over so they could properly reunite with Dende.
Seeing each other again after so long, Gohan, Krillin, and Dende were overjoyed, and the atmosphere was especially warm.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone quickly composed themselves and got down to business, preparing to revive Shenron and restore Earth's Dragon Balls.
Dende frankly stated that creating a brand-new Shenron would take a full hundred days. Hearing this, Goku immediately looked troubled and said that the situation was urgent and there was simply no time to wait.
After thinking for a moment, Dende offered a solution. If they could find the old Dragon Balls and Shenron's original model, they could skip the lengthy creation process and restore everything in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Popo immediately remembered the Shenron model he had kept years ago and rushed toward the small house beside the temple.
Not long after, he hurried back, carefully holding an exquisitely carved, ancient-looking Eastern dragon model in both hands.
Delight appeared on Dende's face.
