“Grandpa, it’s me, Goku.
Can you hear my voice?” On the small island where Kame House stood peacefully beside the sea, Master Roshi was currently holding a suspicious-looking magazine while wearing a lecherous grin.
The sudden voice ringing directly inside his head startled him so badly that he nearly dropped the book in his hands.
For a moment, Master Roshi suspected he had been missing Goku too much and was now hearing things.
How could Goku’s voice suddenly appear beside his ear?
This was far too unscientific…
and definitely not martial arts.
Still, compared to his little hobby, the safety of his beloved disciple was obviously more important.
“Goku?!
Goku, where are you?!” The bald old master hurriedly looked around while shouting loudly.
At that moment, he genuinely felt as though Goku were speaking right beside him.
“Grandpa, I’m still in the Other World right now.
I’m using King Kai’s ability to communicate with you.” Son Goku quickly explained before immediately asking the important question.
“Have the Dragon Balls already been gathered?” Master Roshi instantly nodded.
“We’ve been searching diligently this entire year and already collected all seven Dragon Balls ahead of time.” “Good.” Son Goku immediately stated the reason for the contact.
“Then hurry and summon Shenron to revive me.
The Saiyans from outer space will arrive on Earth tomorrow.” “What?!” Master Roshi’s scalp instantly went numb while cold sweat appeared across his forehead.
The Saiyans were actually arriving so soon!
One year ago, Raditz alone had nearly brought disaster to Earth.
And according to Goku and Piccolo, the two Saiyans arriving tomorrow were far more terrifying than Raditz.
“Alright!
I’ll notify Bulma immediately!” Without hesitation, Master Roshi rushed to contact Bulma and the others.
Soon afterward, everyone gathered together and prepared to summon Shenron.
Dark clouds quickly covered the sky while thunder and lightning roared endlessly.
The seven Dragon Balls emitted brilliant golden light before a gigantic green dragon emerged from the gathering clouds.
Shenron lowered his majestic head and gazed toward the humans below.
“State your wish.
I shall grant any single wish.” A vast and solemn divine voice echoed throughout the sky.
“Shenron, please revive Son Goku!” The moment the wish was spoken, Shenron’s eyes flashed crimson red.
An invisible divine power instantly crossed the boundary between the living world and the Other World.
“Your wish has been granted.” Meanwhile, in the Other World.
Not long after receiving Master Roshi’s response, the halo representing death above Son Goku’s head suddenly disappeared.
Goku had officially returned to life.
“Haha!
I’m alive again!” Son Goku immediately jumped up happily.
“King Kai, I can finally return to Earth now!” “Hahaha!
With your current battle power, dealing with those two Saiyans invading Earth should be effortless for you.” North Kai smiled while stroking his whiskers.
“I’ll notify Earth’s Guardian shortly and have him bring your body back from King Yemma’s Palace.
At your current flying speed, it won’t take long to get there.” “Goku…
once you leave, we probably won’t see each other again for a very long time.” Gregory suddenly looked extremely sad.
Normally, mortals from the living world could not casually enter the Other World.
Once they parted today, it might take decades before they met again.
After spending an entire year together, Gregory had already formed a deep friendship with Son Goku.
However, Goku himself remained completely relaxed.
“Haha, it’s actually not that troublesome.
I know a technique called Instant Transmission.
With it, I can freely travel between the living world and the Other World.” North Kai immediately froze before quickly realizing something.
“You’ve been to Planet Yardrat before?” Throughout the Universe, countless strange races and miraculous abilities existed.
Instant Transmission was one of the Yardratians’ famous techniques.
Even the boundary separating life and death could not stop someone using that technique from traveling freely.
Among all races in Universe 7, the Yardratians were particularly famous for their mastery over Qi.
They excelled at adapting to energy, controlling energy, and creating mysterious techniques through energy.
Even in the eyes of North Kai, the Yardratians were an extraordinary race worthy of the Divine Realm’s attention.
Son Goku briefly explained what happened in his previous life.
“After escaping Planet Namek, the spaceship I used automatically landed on Planet Yardrat.
There aren’t many Yardratians, but they’re very friendly and know all sorts of strange techniques.” “Elder Pybara noticed I was interested in Instant Transmission, so he personally taught me.
Back then, it still took me nearly a year to fully learn it.” Goku laughed awkwardly while scratching his head.
“I see.” North Kai nodded slowly while feeling amazed by Goku’s opportunities.
Suddenly, he remembered something important.
Regarding Goku’s rebirth.
Immediately, North Kai gestured for Goku to follow him aside.
“Goku, I specifically searched through the Divine Realm’s records regarding your rebirth.” As he spoke, King Kai quietly used a divine technique to isolate the surrounding space and prevent others from overhearing.
At the same time, he recalled the ancient laws concerning time and space recorded within the Divine Decrees.
He also remembered the displeased expression of the Grand Kai after he asked questions regarding temporal matters.
The Grand Kai had directly warned him not to recklessly interfere with space-time research.
Otherwise, even the Grand Kai himself might not be able to protect him from the consequences.
“The Divine Realm possesses very few records related to time and space, and most of them are vague.” A trace of regret flashed across North Kai’s face.
He had searched extensively through the divine archives yet still failed to find any case similar to Son Goku’s.
However, one thing was clearly recorded within the Divine Decrees.
Researching or interfering with time travel within the mortal world was considered a cosmic felony.
The severity of the crime was emphasized repeatedly.
“Regarding your rebirth, you absolutely must keep it secret from now on.” North Kai’s expression became extremely solemn.
“Other than people you completely trust, do not casually reveal this matter to anyone.
Otherwise, you may attract terrifying enemies and become involved in a cosmic-level crime.” North Kai genuinely valued Son Goku highly.
In his eyes, the Saiyan standing before him absolutely possessed the potential to become a Universe-level powerhouse in the future.
Because of that, he did not want Goku to perish halfway through his journey.
“Ah…” Son Goku scratched his head awkwardly.
Truthfully, he still wanted to uncover the mystery behind his rebirth.
“Then…
can I at least ask Old Kai?” In Goku’s memories, Old Kai had lived for countless ages and possessed immense knowledge along with incredible magical abilities.
Even Supreme Kai Shin often appeared inexperienced compared to him.
If anyone could possibly know clues regarding rebirth and time travel, Old Kai seemed like the best candidate.
Supreme Kais themselves were legendary existences.
Throughout tens of thousands of years, North Kai had only heard stories about them and never personally met one.
Still, based on Goku’s stories, Old Kai seemed to be a highly respected god who genuinely cared for all life.
“As long as you trust him completely, then it should be fine.” Hearing that answer, Son Goku immediately relaxed.
After all, Old Kai had helped him greatly during his previous life.
Goku naturally trusted him deeply.
“Goku, don’t think I’m nagging.” North Kai suddenly became serious once again.
“No matter how weak your opponent appears, you must always fight seriously and never lower your guard.” “Haha, I know, Lord Kai.” Son Goku smiled brightly before waving toward the others.
“Bubbles, Gregory, see you later!” Then Goku raised two fingers to his forehead and closed his eyes in concentration.
Instantly, his senses spread across the Universe while he searched for the strongest familiar energy on Earth.
Piccolo.
Instant Transmission was one of the most important techniques in Goku’s arsenal.
Whether searching for allies, traveling vast distances, or fighting enemies, he had relied on it countless times throughout his life.
Its principle was simple in theory.
First locate a target’s Qi.
Then establish a connection with that energy.
Afterward, transform one’s body into pure energy and forcibly open a tiny spatial passage to instantly cross any distance.
To ordinary mortals, such an ability was practically miraculous.
Still, compared to the divine teleportation used by Kibito, attendant of the Supreme Kai, Instant Transmission possessed obvious shortcomings.
The Yardratian technique still relied heavily on sensing Qi.
Kibito’s divine movement technique required no energy signature at all.
As long as the destination was known, he could instantly arrive there without limitation.
Back in his previous life, Son Goku had admired that technique greatly and even attempted learning it from Kibito Kai.
Unfortunately, his understanding of divine principles was insufficient, and Kibito Kai’s explanations were so complicated that Goku eventually gave up entirely.
Soon, Goku’s senses finally reached Earth.
Among all the energies on the planet, Piccolo’s Qi immediately stood out like a bright flame in darkness.
Like a brilliant lighthouse shining within the endless night of the Universe.
“Ah, found it!” A joyful expression instantly appeared on Goku’s face.
After waving goodbye one final time to North Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory, Son Goku’s figure flashed.
Then he vanished completely without a trace.
