At that moment, a series of images appeared before Chronoa's eyes. If Jiang Chen were present, he would notice that the scenes depicted in the Book of Time were unfolding on Namek and Earth.
On Namek, a golden figure and a white figure were continuously clashing.
On Earth, there was also a golden figure and a white figure engaged in battle.
The difference was that while Namek was experiencing significant geographical changes, it had not yet fallen into a catastrophic crisis. Earth, however, was currently facing an apocalyptic disaster.
Countless lava flows erupted, and the ground was collapsing.
With each clash, it seemed as though Earth's capacity to endure was crumbling further.
"Interesting! The Time and space have indeed changed!" Chronoa couldn't help but pout her lips slightly, her words laced with a hint of amusement.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, enveloped in the power of time, instantly crossed through layers of time and space, landing directly in Universe 7 under Zen'ō (King of All
…
On Earth.
Kami Piccolo was anxiously pacing back and forth.
At that moment.
"Whoosh!"
An ethereal wave swept through as Jiang Chen's figure stepped forward.
The sudden appearance startled Kami Piccolo at first. But he quickly recognized Jiang Chen, and a look of surprise crossed his face.
"Aspara San, is it really you?" Kami Piccolo's voice was filled with excitement. He had just been worried, not expecting Jiang Chen to return so soon.
"What's happened? Kami-sama?" Seeing Kami Piccolo's expression, Jiang Chen's demeanor tightened, and he asked with curiosity.
"Aspara San, just now, my home planet, Namek's Great Elder, sent me a distress signal, asking where you are." Kami Piccolo hurriedly recounted the situation.
"Namek? A crisis of destruction?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.
Logically, Namek should still be several years away from destruction. But it was clear that someone like the Great Elder of Namek wouldn't make a mistake.
Although he had only interacted with him a few times, Jiang Chen understood that beings like the Great Elder had a high dimensionality, and their foresight was unlikely to be wrong.
Despite his confusion, he decided to act cautiously.
"I understand! Let me head to Namek first." Jiang Chen nodded slightly, making his decision.
"Thank you so much, Aspara San!" Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Kami Piccolo quickly expressed his gratitude.
"There's no need to thank me; this was my promise back then." Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, speaking earnestly.
He had not forgotten the promise he had made on Namek and since Namek was in danger, it was only right for him to go and check it out.
"Whoosh!"
The ethereal wave surged, and he summoned the power of time.
However, since Namek was not particularly close, Jiang Chen couldn't simply cross over using the power of time alone.
After some thought, he prepared to activate Instant Transmission. But just as he was about to do so, he seemed to remember something.
"Kami-sama, would you like to come along?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Kami Piccolo.
"Can I really?" Kami Piccolo was a bit excited, then hesitated.
"Of course! Just grab my hand, and we'll get there quickly." Jiang Chen extended his right hand.
"Okay, alright!"
…
"Whoosh!"
The illusory tide swept in, the power of time loading Instant Transmission, and in the next moment, the two figures directly disappeared at the Lookout.
Namek.
Where the Great Elder is located.
"Swish!"
Two figures suddenly appeared.
Nail couldn't help but be startled, instantly preparing for combat. However, before he could act, the voice of the Great Elder echoed in the room.
"Nail, do not be reckless; they are our guests from Namek. Invite them in!" The Great Elder's words carried a hint of age and kindness.
"Yes, Great Elder!" Nail responded respectfully.
At this moment, Kami Piccolo and Jiang Chen had completely steadied themselves.
"This, this is Namek?" Kami Piccolo couldn't help but look around, his whole being filled with excitement.
This is his homeland, Namek.
"Please follow me; the Great Elder is requesting you." A clear voice rang out, and Nail curiously glanced at Kami Piccolo before extending his hand to invite the two.
"Thank you!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, casting a somewhat surprised glance at Nail.
But it was just a glance, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Then the two followed Nail into the Great Elder's room.
"Guests from Planet Vegeta, long time no see! Also you, the child of Katatz; I heard you have become an excellent member of the Dragon Clan. If Katatz knew, he would surely be very happy." The figures entered and the Great Elder's gentle voice rang out again.
"Great Elder! Long time no see!" Jiang Chen spoke up.
"Greetings, Great Elder." Kami Piccolo, however, felt a bit nervous.
"Guests, I have heard that you have gained the favor of the great Kaiōshin of time. It seems your future is even greater than I imagined." The Great Elder couldn't help but express his feelings.
"Great Elder, you flatter me." Jiang Chen smiled as he spoke.
"No, this is not flattery. In the entire Universe 7, there have not been many warriors who have been favored by the great Kaiōshin of time throughout history." The Great Elder shook his head and spoke.
"Great Elder, may I ask what crisis you have sensed?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment but couldn't help but ask.
"Guest, as you know, the power of time is extremely complex. Even I cannot perceive more accurate information. The only perception I have is that Namek is about to fall into destruction, especially recently; this feeling seems to have grown stronger. I'm afraid the huge crisis for Namek is imminent." The Great Elder sighed as he spoke, his expression slightly shaking his head.
He indeed possessed a high level of dimensions and powerful magic, but even so, the power of time was beyond his reach.
He could only sense some future crises through certain special means, which was already his limit.
"I understand Great Elder, I will be staying on Namek for a while. However, Great Elder, you should know that with my current strength, if combat occurs, Namek may not be able to withstand it. I want to use the Dragon Balls to strengthen Namek. Additionally, I have another idea that also requires the use of the Dragon Balls. What do you think?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, not surprised, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Using the Dragon Balls is certainly possible but strengthening Namek!" The Great Elder hesitated slightly.
"Great Elder, is there a problem?" Jiang Chen asked with surprise, his gaze turning to the Great Elder.
"Guest, you should know that Namek once fell into destruction." Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Great Elder pondered for a moment before speaking.
After Jiang Chen nodded slightly, the Great Elder slowly continued,
"Once, Namek was a highly developed civilization. At that time, we possessed powerful magic and great wisdom, creating the most brilliant civilization in Universe 7. However, due to the abuse of the Dragon Balls, Namek inevitably fell into destruction. So to avoid a repeat of such incidents, Namek has decided not to use the Dragon Balls to improve Namek anymore. This set of Dragon Balls was created for the purpose of creating a new environment, and since then, we have not used them again." The Great Elder spoke slowly, his expression carrying a hint of nostalgia.
Listening to the Great Elder's words, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
In the original story, although the reason for Namek's destruction was not explained, if this world included the GT setting, then it was likely that Namek's destruction was closely related to the Dragon Balls.
