Different Paths
"It's even purer, Wuling, I think I understand something now?"
Number 18 was very calm at this moment. She had long since reached the God Realm. Like Son Wuling, she seemed to be completely integrated with her surroundings, and could even hear the sound of dust falling.
Son Wuling laughed and said, "That's great! After reaching the God Realm on the Number 18, everyone has their own God Path. My Ultra Instinct, Rose's Ultra Instinct, Gohan's Ultra Ego, Goku's Super Saiyan God, and so on. These are all based on the God Realm, and they have comprehended their own Divine Power."
Number 18 spoke calmly and resolutely, saying, "There are indeed many paths to godhood, but I don't understand any of them. I want to walk the path that suits me. I need power, the power to protect the Rose together with you."
The incident where Lucifer's energy clone tried to abduct Rose had dealt her a heavy blow and completely irritated her as a mother. In the past, she had only cultivated to the point of being content with what she had, and her somewhat lazy personality made her not particularly fond of cultivation.
Son Wuling opened his eyes. He was also feeling terrible. It wasn't just Number 18 who was upset; he was too. He had never hated or loathed anyone so much before. He was determined to take revenge on Lucifer. He would make up for all the grievances Rose had suffered at his hands.
"Hmm, Lord Beerus, Lord Champa, what are you doing here?"
Son Wuling was startled and climbed down from the bamboo pole. Son Goku did the same, opening his eyes and getting down. Number 18 and Son Gohan remained motionless. Even though a breeze was blowing through Mount Paozu, the bamboo pole did not sway at all.
"Hey, Son Wuling, did you record this? Destroy it right now!"
Beerus yelled wildly at Son Wuling, meowing like a cat. He was going crazy, and he even sang along with Champa. He was going crazy too.
"Video recording? You must be mistaken. We were taking pictures then, there were no video recorders!"
Son Wuling took out a Capsule filled with photos of Beerus and Champa singing at the banquet. He thought to himself, "We don't have a video recorder, but we're using cell phones, ultra-high definition ones made by Bulma and Pilaf. They're crystal clear."
Champa, Beerus unleashed his Destruction Power, destroying the photograph.
Son Goku excitedly said to Beerus, "Lord Beerus, when are we leaving? I can't wait to become stronger!"
"We're leaving right away. This time, besides destroying the photos, we're here to find you guys. Wuling, do you want to come along and train in the God of Destruction Realm?"
Beerus extended an invitation to Son Wuling, but as for Rose, they couldn't befriend her; all they could do was make him envious and cause him unnecessary trouble.
Son Wuling shook his head and laughed, "With my current Ultra Instinct, there's no point in going to the God of Destruction Realm to cultivate anymore. Mr. Whis hasn't reached that level of Spatial Loop either, has he?"
Beerus shook his head and said to Son Goku, "Alright, Vegeta and Whis are waiting for us at Bulma's house. Goku, let's go together!"
Beerus and Whis took Son Goku and Vegeta to the God of Destruction Realm.
Champa didn't say anything more after seeing the photos were destroyed. If he and Beerus knew that Son Wuling had secretly recorded the video using a mobile phone, they would probably go crazy.
Champa and Vados stayed for a while, and eventually returned to Sixth Universe with Ryan and Purple Butterfly. Champa and Purple Butterfly were afraid that Ryan had really run off to Universe 7 and wouldn't come back.
In Sixth Universe, Ryan and Purple Butterfly, who have returned to Earth, are currently in the Human Emperor Palace. Ryan is sitting in a chair, while Purple Butterfly is kneeling on one knee, and she begins to report on her investigation of Earth's situation in Universe 7.
"Your Majesty, the Earthling in Universe 7 seem quite foolish, and their king is incompetent and stupid. They don't even have as many people as we do, and their crime rate is higher than that of a single city in our entire Hua Nation. I don't understand why that incompetent and foolish animal has any right to be the king of Earth."
After investigating everything on Earth in Universe 7, Purple Butterfly finally discovered just how powerful Ryan really was!
There's no harm without comparison!
Purple Butterfly remembered complaining about the high crime rate before, but after arriving in Universe 7, she realized that compared to Sixth Universe, Universe 7 was nothing.
Even though their Sixth Universe experienced near-annihilation and was reborn from that destruction, its population and level of civilization are still far superior.
Ryan's face also showed some displeasure as he said, "I've heard Rose mention the Red Ribbon Army. I was hoping to have some exchanges with the King of Universe 7, but it turns out they're just some third-rate bastards. I don't know how they became king. The only right thing they did was trust Father and the others."
What Ryan didn't know was that without Son Wuling's intervention, the humans and king of Universe 7 would have been even more foolish according to the original trajectory.
Purple Butterfly raised her head, looked earnestly at Ryan, and said, "Your Majesty, I have personally witnessed famine and drought in some mountain villages and remote areas, where no one cares and people can only wait to die. There are many such areas."
"And in the city, dozens of extremely heinous crimes occur every day, not to mention the rest. Now I truly understand just how remarkable Your Majesty is."
Ryan said helplessly, "Alright, stop flattering me. Go and get some rest!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Purple Butterfly went down, but instead of going back to rest, she went to contact Chancellor Tang and the other ministers and generals to tell them what she had seen and heard in the Universe 7 and the results of her investigation.
As time passed, Son Goku and Vegeta continued their training in the God of Destruction Realm. Vegeta and Beerus began their destructive training in Ultra Ego, while Son Goku was able to maintain Ultra Instinct Sign and fight Whis.
On Earth, Son Wuling is still researching Spatial Loop, but he has already been able to control space to fight, just like Ryan.
The Ultra Instinct power that had been gathering around Son Wuling's body was slowly contracting, and his silver hair, Ultra Instinct: Internalized, was now returning to its original form. In other words, he had now reached a state where he could maintain Ultra Instinct normally.
"My strength is finally about the same as that of Whis, Vados, Ryan!"
Son Wuling exhaled a breath of turbid air. Although his appearance remained unchanged, the power of the Ultra Instinct had become his own power, which was to say, he had returned to his original state.
"It's still not enough!"
Son Wuling sighed. Ryan's realm was higher than that of Whis and Vados, but because he was too young, his Divine Power of the Ultra Instinct was not as strong as that of Vados and Whis, which resulted in a draw.
"Kusu said that once you reach the level of this Spatial Loop, you can easily do many things!"
Son Wuling looked at his hands. He planned to use the power of Ultra Instinct to open up all the Dantian in his body, but the Spatial Loop was still not enough.
"Ahhh..."
Suddenly, a strong aura emanated from the depths of a dense forest in the distance, and the flock of birds scattered and fled.
"This, this is the Divine Power of Number 18..."
Son Wuling was astonished and completely incredulous. Number 18 had actually succeeded, and it was something completely different from any he was familiar with. Number 18 had successfully comprehended his own Divine Power.
