Thanks to Instant Transmission, only half an hour had passed by the time Lin Chen returned to the Time-Space Gate.
It was his first time using Instant Transmission so frequently in such rapid succession.
As a result, Lin Chen was utterly exhausted when he returned and couldn't help panting heavily.
After catching his breath, Lin Chen looked at the unchanged Time-Space Gate before him and asked inwardly.
"System, can I set the Time-Space Gate's destination now?"
"Ding! Yes, Host. Please confirm which timeline you wish to visit!"
"Then please send me to a timeline where I can complete option three!"
The next moment, Lin Chen suddenly felt a force shoot out of his body and strike the Time-Space Gate.
Immediately, the blood-red Time-Space Gate began to change color, gradually shifting from its original crimson to blue.
When the Time-Space Gate finally settled into a deep blue, the system issued a notification: "Ding! The Time-Space Gate's destination has been locked in. Please cross as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something else. "Oh, right, System. How do I get back after I go through?"
He absolutely had to clarify that first.
"Ding! Host, after you cross through the Time-Space Gate, it will leave coordinates at your arrival point. To return, you need only go back to that location. However, once opened again, the Time-Space Gate will disappear. Using it next time will require another Time Point."
Got it. So a Time Point was basically a single-use round-trip ticket?
With that thought, Lin Chen stopped hesitating and plunged headfirst into the Time-Space Gate.
This was somewhere in the universe.
The time was unknown.
Within the silent darkness, a blood-red fissure suddenly appeared in what should have been empty space.
The fissure spread outward until it finally settled into a rectangular spatial gate large enough for one person to pass through.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly darted out. Immediately afterward, the spatial gate formed by the fissure behind him began shrinking rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became a blood-red sphere almost invisible to the naked eye.
"So this is the parallel timeline where another Broly exists?"
The figure who had emerged from the spatial gate was none other than Lin Chen, who had traveled through time and space.
Gazing at the brilliant stars around him, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, then used Instant Transmission to head for Planet Vegeta's coordinates as he remembered them.
Upon reaching Planet Vegeta's location in his original world, Lin Chen found, as expected, no sign of the planet Shenron had relocated.
Where Planet Vegeta should have been, there was only emptiness.
"This really is another world. In that case, let's go find Broly. I remember he was in the South Galaxy..."
As Lin Chen recalled, the story of the Legendary Super Saiyan's rampage took place in the South Galaxy.
That story was originally the plot of the Dragon Ball movie "Burn Up! A Hot Battle, a Fierce Battle, a Super Battle."
The movie told how, before Planet Vegeta's destruction, King Vegeta feared that Broly, the son of the Saiyan Paragus, would pose a threat to Vegeta and unexpectedly had him killed.
Yet neither Broly nor Paragus had died. Instead, they had relied on Broly's power to escape disaster and reach the South Galaxy.
Afterward, Paragus used Broly's power to ravage the South Galaxy and established New Planet Vegeta, planning to take revenge on Vegeta and the other surviving Saiyans.
Since the system now wanted Lin Chen to liberate the South Galaxy from the Legendary Super Saiyan's control, he naturally needed to head there and find Broly and his father.
After holding his breath and concentrating for a moment, Lin Chen suddenly froze.
"Uh, where is the South Galaxy?"
Even in his original world, Lin Chen had never visited the South Galaxy, and he couldn't use Instant Transmission without knowing his destination's location.
What should I do?
Lin Chen scratched his head.
I've got it!
The next moment, he used Instant Transmission again, only this time, his destination was Earth.
He remembered that, in the story, Paragus had made a special trip to Earth to exact revenge on Vegeta. If he arrived in time, perhaps he could travel with them.
He just didn't know whether this world's timeline had reached the events of "Super Battle" yet.
But even if it hadn't, that was fine. Lin Chen could simply find this world's Kami and have him take him to Other World, then travel from there to King Kai's Planet to find King Kai. That would also let him learn the South Galaxy's location.
Upon arriving on Earth, Lin Chen immediately noticed that this world was probably many years ahead of his original world.
Since he often visited West City, Lin Chen always made it his first stop whenever he used Instant Transmission to come to Earth.
This time was no exception.
But when Lin Chen appeared above West City, he found that the city below was far more prosperous than its counterpart in his original world.
There were also many billboards in the city that he had never seen before.
From this, he could conclude that this world was probably many years ahead of his original world, and the events of Dragon Ball must have already begun.
He just didn't know exactly which year of Age it was...
After a moment's thought, Lin Chen cleared his mind and began sensing the ki across the entire planet. Soon, he discovered quite a few powerful presences.
Several of them clearly belonged to Saiyans, and one in particular felt somewhat familiar.
Was that... Vegeta?
Sure enough, if Vegeta was on Earth and there was no fighting, this timeline could only be at some point after Frieza's defeat.
He just didn't know whether it had reached the events of "Super Battle" yet.
With that thought, Lin Chen used Instant Transmission and appeared near Vegeta's location.
It was a cherry blossom grove. The moment Lin Chen appeared, everyone present detected his ki.
"Who's there?"
The next moment, a group of people surrounded Lin Chen.
Seeing those familiar faces, Lin Chen couldn't help feeling a little wistful.
Vegeta, Future Trunks, Son Gohan, as well as Master Roshi, Bulma, Oolong, and the others.
This timeline really was many years ahead of his own world. Judging by the look of things, the Androids had probably already appeared, hadn't they?
"Um... hello!" Lin Chen waved at everyone with a smile.
But his greeting did nothing to ease their wariness.
Vegeta stared intently at Lin Chen, his gaze first sweeping over Lin Chen's battle suit before settling on the tail coiled around his waist. He exclaimed, "A Saiyan? You're a Saiyan?"
"Yes, I'm a Saiyan. My name is Linx, but you can also call me by my Earth name, Lin Chen."
