Buzz!

The sound of water dripping!

In a quiet, dark space, Son Wuling looked around alone.

"Sure enough, it seems like this happened when the Goku virus had a heart attack!"

Son Wuling looked around. Even though the surroundings were dark, his cold eyes were like sharp knives in the environment, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Son Wuling, you owe me my life!"

A figure slowly formed from the sticky darkness on the ground!

"Tao Pai Pai, hmph, you almost killed Goku back then! If Goku's life hadn't been so important, I would have definitely added a few more Energy Blast to your ashes!"

Son Wuling charged forward wielding the Destructo Disc, instantly splitting Tao Pai Pai in two without showing any fear. It was from that moment with Tao Pai Pai that his life began to change.

"Give me back my life..."

"Son Wuling..."

"Give me back my life..."

The viscous, pitch-black water formed figure after figure, each bearing the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army, and each shouting wildly at him.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Even facing nearly a million Red Ribbon Army soldiers, Son Wuling roared, "You bastards deserve to die! My going to Heaven after death is the best proof! You all deserve to die! Drink up..."

Son Wuling unleashed Kamehameha, destroying millions of the Red Ribbon Army soldiers, his cold eyes flashing with a hint of madness!

Frieza, King Cold, Ginyu Force, Nappa, Raditz, Cell!

Seeing these illusory enemies appear one after another, Son Wuling did not back down at all, and killed them one by one with his Destructo Disc.

"Come on, all of you, this is it! I've spent over ten years finally creating my own Spirit Immortal School, my own path for Earthling. Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, Goku Gohan are no match for me now. Vegeta has already been beaten into wearing women's clothing. Who else...?"

Son Wuling burst into wild laughter, his handsome face now contorted with madness. He was Earthling, Earthling in his past life, and even after transmigrating to the Dragon Balls world, he was still Earthling. So what if he didn't have Saiyan blood? He still dominated them as Earthling.

"Why do you hate Saiyan so much, Son Wuling...?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Son Wuling instinctively raised his Destructo Disc to turn around and cut the other person in half. But when he saw who the shadow was, the Destructo Disc in his hand stopped at the other person's head.

This shadow is exactly the same as Son Wuling, but the difference is that it gives people a feeling of coldness and a hint of violence. It is the complete opposite of Son Wuling himself and is the embodiment of Son Wuling's Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon Son Wuling laughed and said, "It's because Grandpa was trampled to death by Son Goku when he transformed into Great Ape, right? After all, you don't have any cheat codes like a system. The most direct way is to just wish for Saiyan blood from the Dragon Balls. That would be much more straightforward."

Son Wuling remained silent, his cold eyes fixed on his Heart Demon. He did not refute them, because they were all true. At that time, he was very weak and could only watch from afar as Son Goku, who had transformed into Great Ape, trampled his grandfather to death. It was from that moment that he decided to become an outstanding martial artist as Earthling, carrying his Earthling's expectations.

The Heart Demon Son Wuling continued, "I am you, and you are me. Is it really okay to hide yourself from your friends? You even went so far as to learn soul-related techniques from the Fortuneteller Baba."

Son Wuling's voice turned colder, tinged with impatience, as he asked, "Are you finished?"

The Heart Demon Son Wuling laughed, "Of course not. In your past life, your dream was trampled by the people closest to you. Your dream was to be a teacher. If it was just for a spokesperson, Satan would have been enough. Otherwise, why would you have accepted Videl?"

Maka Chains!

Son Wuling conjured two purple chains in his palm, which pierced through his Heart Demon and immobilized it!

The Heart Demon Son Wuling showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Son Wuling, you're so good to your friends and family. You knew what happened on Namek, but you didn't let Krillin go. You even sacrificed yourself. You're truly admirable. I wonder if Krillin will blame you when he finds out his original wife has changed!"

Upon hearing this, Son Wuling was struck by a nerve. He grabbed his Heart Demon by the Son Wuling and roared, "What a joke! I didn't do anything! Who knows why he married that Violet who should have disappeared and had a daughter with her!"

Upon hearing this, the Heart Demon Son Wuling calmly replied, "So, what are you agonizing over? They're in love with Violet now, so why are you blaming yourself for everything?"

"I..."

Son Wuling was slightly taken aback, and the strength in his hand lessened considerably. Looking at his Heart Demon, it seemed as if many of his troubles had been resolved.

The Heart Demon Son Wuling said, "The Namek Grand Elder once said that within your icy, bone-chilling aura lies a warm light like the sun. Even though he couldn't access your memories, he still chose to help you guide your untapped power."

Son Wuling released his grip, and the Maka Chains retracted from his Heart Demon. He took a deep breath, stared at his Heart Demon, and remained silent, lost in thought.

The Heart Demon Son Wuling clenched his fist and shouted, "Son Wuling, pursue your own Spirit Immortal School! Instead of worrying too much about the butterfly effect you bring, you should focus on being the best version of yourself. You're just an ordinary Earthling."

Son Wuling nodded, looking at his Heart Demon, a relieved smile appearing on his face, feeling much lighter all over. "Thank you, I know what I should do!"

Crash!

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the pitch-black space around them, and a spot shattered like a mirror. Son Goku, with his Soul Eye activated, looked at him with great surprise.

"Great! After all that effort, we finally found it! Wuling! Are you alright? How are you?"

Son Wuling shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, brother! Don't worry."

After saying that, Son Wuling turned to look at his Heart Demon and smiled, "Goodbye! Thank you..."

Son Wuling flew out of the dark space with Son Goku, overcoming his Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon Son Wuling looked in the direction Son Wuling and Son Goku had left and laughed, "Goodbye, Son Wuling. I'm afraid the next time we meet will be our final farewell!"

In the pitch-black space, the gap that Son Goku had just shattered slowly healed itself. The Heart Demon Son Wuling smiled and transformed into a stream of dark, viscous water, slowly disappearing and merging with its surroundings.

In the North City, Wuling Cell, glared at Vegeta, Android 17, and the others, his fists clenched, and roared in frustration, "You guys lied to me! You were putting on an act again! You bastards, how did you know I was hiding here?!"

Piccolo, with his arms wrapped around his chest, floated in the air, looking down coldly at Wuling Cell was only the size of a five-year-old child.

"We didn't know, we just felt that what Wuling said made some sense. Tien Shinhan came up with this plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Even if it didn't succeed, we wouldn't lose anything. But now it seems to be really useful!"
