After his body perished, GT Goku reversed Yin and Yang, exhausted the last of his Soul energy, gathered the life Qi of the entire Universe, and finally destroyed Omega Shenron.
It all began because of the Dragon Balls, and in the end, it was also because of the Dragon Balls.
At Shenron’s request, Goku followed the Eternal Dragon and departed from that world.
Exhausted beyond measure after the final battle, he laid on Shenron’s back and slowly drifted into a deep slumber.
When Son Goku opened his eyes once again, everything around him had completely changed.
Blue skies stretched endlessly overhead while white clouds drifted peacefully through the air.
The atmosphere was calm, and the vast wilderness beneath him looked strangely familiar.
For a moment, Goku’s consciousness was dazed.
“Where is this place?” Just as confusion filled his mind, a weak voice carrying exasperation and terror suddenly rang out nearby.
“Kakarot, you bastard!
To think you would perish together with your own brother!
Don’t you know you’ll die too?!” “My own brother?” Son Goku suddenly regained his senses.
At that moment, he realized his entire body was suffering from unbearable pain.
A massive bloody hole pierced through his chest while his life force rapidly faded away.
His thick black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his younger body felt unfamiliar yet deeply nostalgic.
Countless old memories overlapped before his eyes.
“Raditz?” Not far away, Piccolo stood there with a cold and sinister smile on his face.
Goku shuddered violently.
What was going on?
Hadn’t Raditz already died long ago?
And this scene…
Wasn’t this the exact moment from decades ago when Raditz first descended upon Earth and he sacrificed himself together with his brother?
A torrent of memories from the distant past flooded through his mind.
The severe pain lingering within his Soul rapidly faded until it completely disappeared.
Everything from the past became incomparably clear.
“I returned to the past…
back to the day I defeated Raditz.” “After dying, I actually experienced rebirth and returned to this point in time.” Son Goku finally understood.
Thud!
Raditz and Goku collapsed onto the ground almost simultaneously.
“Kakarot…
you actually…” Raditz’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Shock, unwillingness, hatred, and anger intertwined together.
Goku’s gaze was equally complex.
After returning once again, he had still ended up dying together with his brother.
Piccolo slowly stepped forward and looked down at the dying Raditz with disdain.
“Fool.
Once Son Goku dies, he’ll simply be resurrected again.” “What…
did you say?” Raditz’s voice trembled violently.
Piccolo sneered.
“Hmph.
On this planet, there are objects called Dragon Balls.
They can grant almost any wish, including bringing the dead back to life.” “Damn you…
Kakarot…
heh…
heh…
Let me tell you something…
everything that happened here has already been transmitted to my two companions.” A vicious smile slowly appeared at the corner of Raditz’s mouth.
“When the time comes…
they’ll avenge me.
You Earthlings will all be wiped out instantly…
and I can also be revived using the Dragon Balls.” Piccolo’s expression instantly became ugly.
“In one year, your fate will be sealed.” “Enjoy the little happiness you have left…
while you still can.” The light within Raditz’s eyes gradually faded while his voice became weaker and weaker.
Bang!
Piccolo’s anger instantly erupted.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and struck downward.
Raditz completely breathed his last breath.
“Too much nonsense.
When your two companions arrive, they’ll end up exactly like you!” Piccolo snorted coldly.
A cool breeze swept across the wasteland, carrying grains of sand through the air.
At that moment, a spacecraft descended from the sky.
Krillin, Bulma, and the others quickly arrived at the scene.
Goku’s lips moved slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.
Soon after, his Soul drifted toward the Other World.
Whoosh!
Goku’s body vanished without a trace.
Piccolo merely snorted.
He naturally knew who was responsible.
The Guardian of Earth.
Only Kami possessed such an ability.
Without saying another word, Piccolo picked up the unconscious Gohan and flew toward the distance.
…
The Lookout floated high above the Earth.
“The current combat power on Earth is still insufficient to resist the Saiyans arriving in one year.
We require new strength.” Kami leaned on his cane while speaking solemnly.
Then he turned toward Mr.
Popo.
“Popo, remain at the Lookout.
I’ll personally go to the Other World and meet Son Goku.” The next moment, Kami activated the authority of Earth’s Guardian.
His figure blurred instantly.
Together with Goku’s body, he entered the Other World.
Soon, Son Goku and Kami met within King Yemma’s palace.
After a brief exchange, Goku bid farewell to both Kami and King Yemma before heading alone toward the endless Snake Way leading to King Kai’s Planet.
“After this rebirth, do I really have to fight the Shadow Dragons all over again?” Thinking about everything that had happened, Son Goku could not help but feel mixed emotions.
What kind of situation was this?
You couldn’t just keep overusing the same Dragon Balls forever.
Because the Dragon Balls had been used recklessly for countless years, an enormous amount of negative energy accumulated within them, eventually giving birth to the seven Shadow Dragons.
In the end, Goku gathered the power of the Universe itself.
Only then was he finally able to completely destroy Omega Shenron and disperse the evil energy covering the Universe.
By sacrificing himself, he completely ended the existence of the Shadow Dragons, saved the Universe from destruction, and restored peace to all creation.
“It wasn’t a bad ending.” The moment this thought appeared, Goku immediately felt much better.
An enemy as terrifying and powerful as Omega Shenron was almost impossible to encounter even across billions of years of cosmic history.
Merely recalling that battle caused an intense surge of fighting spirit to rise within him.
The blood of the Saiyan warrior race boiled violently.
He longed to battle powerful opponents.
As long as things remained within control, Son Goku genuinely enjoyed fighting.
Back then, after transforming into Super Saiyan 4, his strength had already surpassed his previous limits by an enormous margin.
Even so, relying solely on his own power, he still failed to completely overwhelm Omega Shenron.
In the end, victory only came because of the Universal Spirit Bomb.
That was both his luck and the blessing of every lifeform in the Universe.
To encounter such a peerless enemy, battle against him, and ultimately achieve victory was itself a rare honor.
“I wonder how Gohan, Chi-Chi, Goten, and Pan are doing now.” A gentle look appeared in Goku’s eyes as he thought about his family from that distant timeline.
“They should all be happy now.
Even though I died, peace finally returned to the world.” At Snake Way’s entrance, Goku quietly thought about many people.
His family.
Vegeta and Bulma.
King Kai.
The seven Shadow Dragons.
The Supreme Kai.
And many others.
Thinking that he might never see them again, Goku gradually fell silent, an indescribable emptiness filling his heart.
Right now, he was separated from them by more than mere distance.
Even Instant Transmission could not cross the endless river of time and space.
Still, Goku suddenly smiled faintly.
“It’s not impossible.
Future Trunks managed to return to the past before.” “If he could do it…
then maybe one day, I can also find my way back to my own timeline.”
