"You actually refuse to become a King Kai? Kid, you need to know that this is an unparalleled honor! King Kais are the most supreme gods in the universe. Not only do we control all matters of life and death, but we can also create planets and life with our own power, traverse time to monitor the entire universe, and even control the laws of all things!"
As Old Kai's incredulous words came out, he extolled the authority of the King Kais to the heavens.
But despite this, Talot's answer was still a refusal.
Old Kai was speechless, and in the end, he could only tell Talot to think about it carefully and not rush to answer him.
For Old Kai, East Supreme Kai, and Kibito, Talot undoubtedly rejected this supreme honor.
They felt that Talot was overly arrogant and seemed to look down on the King Kais.
They wouldn't know that the reason Talot refused was simply because becoming a King Kai would mean sharing a life with a God of Destruction! Even if in the original story, there was no instance of a King Kai dying when a God of Destruction died, Talot knew that once he became a King Kai, his life would be bound.
However, a point in Old Kai's words reminded Talot.
King Kais preside over creation, wield the Time Rings, and can travel through time to go back to the past and return to the future.
He couldn't access it before, but now that he can, he has to think about it carefully.
After all, after Porunga answered his question, he did think about finding a King Kai to use the Time Ring to bring Bardock, who had arrived in the past, back.
Of course, whether it was feasible was still unknown, because it involved the realm of time, which at least he couldn't touch right now.
After some negotiation, Old Kai, East Supreme Kai, and even Kibito were shocked.
Because the matter of traversing time and space was truly too unbelievable.
Especially being inexplicably transported to a past era when a planet exploded.
"Time Rings can indeed allow people to return to the past or go to the future, but it is limited to our King Kais. Moreover, the timeline of the past is not allowed to be altered. Even if it is confirmed that a future person has traveled back to the past, the most we can do is take a look, but we cannot set foot in the past to change it. So, I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this matter..." East Supreme Kai's words made Talot realize that this matter was indeed not as simple as he had imagined.
Even if he could return to the past, he couldn't do anything, otherwise, it would lead to changing the past, to the point where this future world would cease to exist.
And Old Kai gave his insight: "Perhaps the Saiyan you mentioned, named Bardock, didn't simply return to a certain time in the past. He may have gone to a completely new parallel timeline, to the point where even wishing with Shenron cannot bring him back."
"Another parallel timeline? Ancestor, is that possible?" East Supreme Kai was horrified.
A slight change could create a new parallel timeline.
Old Kai nodded: "In the past years, I have encountered similar things, but that was many billions of years ago. To be specific, many details have been forgotten. I can only say that there were indeed people from the future who crossed over to the past, thus giving rise to the future of this parallel timeline."
"Ancestor's meaning is, we are also just a parallel timeline evolved from a certain world?" Kibito gasped.
To him, it was too unreal.
Old Kai's eyes were deep: "Who knows? Even we King Kais are not omnipotent. Above us, above the universe, there are even more supreme existences... We only need to know that we are alive, we exist, and that is enough. At least for us, this world is our world! Anything is possible!"
As the voice fell, East Supreme Kai and Kibito were even more horrified.
Their worldview was broadened because of Old Kai.
Talot knew what he meant.
"Involving time is a major matter. I advise you, since that Saiyan named Bardock accidentally traveled through time and space to the past, that is his fate. If it cannot be changed, then let it be. What do you say? "Besides, even if we are willing to risk violating the cosmic law's time regulations, we cannot determine which time that Bardock went to.
"According to the birth of our universe, it has been more than ten billion years..."
Old Kai's words seemed to be dispelling Talot's thoughts.
East Supreme Kai and Kibito nodded in succession.
Hearing this, Talot couldn't force them and could only accept this reality.
He couldn't possibly force them to find Bardock, even if they were King Kais, it would be too difficult.
Besides, as Old Kai said, there were too many parallel timelines, and even if they returned to the past, they might not be able to find the parallel timeline that Bardock went to.
If they went and didn't find him, then a new future parallel timeline would be born again.
Placing his last hope entirely on the Wishing Orbs, Talot had no other choice.
Unless he could truly become strong enough to break the limitations of time and space, master the power of time, or find the Time Supreme Kai!
That person should be able to travel between time and space and act freely.
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the Bardock of the past heard the suggestion he conveyed and went to find the Namek Planet to summon Porunga to make a wish...
No longer dwelling on this, Talot simply changed the subject.
Not wanting to become an apprentice King Kai, but that doesn't mean he can't continue to stay on the Supreme Kai Planet.
Old Kai didn't force him, giving him enough time to consider, but he didn't actively mention the God Power cultivation method again.
Talot wants to get it, but people have already made it very clear that without becoming a god, it is impossible to cultivate God Power.
Only take it slowly.
...
Here, after discussing with Old Kai and East Supreme Kai, Talot continued to stay on the Supreme Kai Planet without leaving directly.
Firstly, he needed to familiarize himself with the power that had surged from the Potential Development, and secondly, Old Kai had after all taught him a Spirit Tempering Method. Although he had already mastered it, he needed to familiarize himself with the perception.
At the same time.
Located in another supreme realm in the universe.
God of Destruction Realm!
Angel Whis is watching the interesting things happening in the lower realm.
As an Angel, he is almost omnipotent, possessing absolute supreme power, and can easily know everything he wants to know.
Originally, he should have been preparing a dessert he had just learned from a certain planet in the lower realm.
But a special feeling in the dark made him stop, causing him to carefully pursue the source and find out the reason.
Under his investigation, he has also figured out the whole reason, and probably knows what is going on?
At this moment, in the projection in front of him, what is playing is exactly the scene that happened on the Supreme Kai Planet.
Talot, East Supreme Kai, Kibito, and even Old Kai, did not realize that what they are doing now has been seen through by Whis with God's Perspective.
"Ho ho ho~! That's really interesting. I didn't expect that the seal of that year was broken by mistake. The direction of our time and space world seems to be heading towards the unknown because of this Saiyan." Whis smiled, squinting his eyes as he spoke, his thoughts drifting away.
Angels are not within the universe, but exist beyond the universe.
He can see some established futures, and he can also see whether the past timeline has been changed.
Obviously, he has noticed that Talot's existence is very special, and he has a kind of possibility to change time and space, which can be described simply as luck.
After a long time, Whis came back to his senses, looked back, and focused his gaze on the God of Destruction Chamber at the top of the God of Destruction Tree.
"Perhaps after this awakening, Lord Beerus, you will encounter a very powerful opponent. This Saiyan will definitely grow to an extremely powerful level in the next twenty years." After saying that, Whis looked at Talot in the picture again.
He has a hunch that an incredible change will happen in the future.
Just then, a commotion came from not far away, causing Whis to shake his head and show a helpless expression.
"Oracle Fish, can you not be so reckless next time?"
"I don't want to, but I just had a prophetic dream, so I came here to tell you, after all, my memory can only last for a short time."
"I see."
...
Supreme Kai Planet.
Time flies.
It has been two days since Talot came here.
In these two days, in addition to the time spent on Potential Development, Talot has not rested. He has not only stabilized his cultivation realm, but also mastered the Spirit Tempering Method taught by Old Kai.
Old Kai was also surprised and couldn't believe it after learning about Talot's monstrous talent.
You must know that even the most talented existence in the universe cannot learn it so easily.
Even if an apprentice King Kai cultivates, in the past years, it would take at least a month or even several months to basically master this Spirit Tempering Method.
Old Kai had never encountered a situation like Talot's.
This is simply a monster.
Old Kai also felt fortunate in his heart that he had not only not misjudged him, but also did not make a bad relationship with him. The two sides had established a good start.
Being able to master the Spirit Tempering Method so easily, maybe telling him the cultivation method of God Power would be a good choice. Old Kai thought.
Of course, despite his thoughts, Old Kai didn't make the decision easily.
After all, they hadn't known each other for very long, and he couldn't be completely sure that Talot was a good person.
He needed more time to observe and determine Talot's true character and personality before deciding whether to impart his knowledge.
On the other hand, Talot's power level had only recently stabilized.
If he were to tell him the method of cultivating God Power at this time, it would certainly have a significant effect, but it would be akin to forcing growth, which would be extremely harmful to Talot's future.
In Old Kai's view, Talot was indeed very strong, arguably the ultimate individual among mortals, but his accumulation was far from sufficient.
This was actually completely different from Talot's own perception. Talot had always felt that he was constantly accumulating, so his accumulation should be very deep.
If he knew Old Kai's opinion of him, he would definitely be stunned.
...
Scene change to Talot.
He rose from the ground, where he had been sitting cross-legged, ending the final stage of his Spirit Tempering Method training.
This training method was very good, and it could be perfectly combined with his ki training method. Moreover, as long as it was in operation, it could have an effect at every moment.
It was like an automatic training buff, constantly tempering and improving his mental strength.
As expected of the Spirit Tempering Method mastered by Old Kai.
If he continued to cultivate it, coupled with his own strength improvement, it could indeed elevate his soul.
In other words, the Spirit Tempering Method might be the beginning of God Power cultivation. If he delved deeper, becoming a god might not be impossible.
"Now that I've mastered this training method, it's time for me to leave the Supreme Kai Planet and go back to reassure everyone," he muttered, looking towards Old Kai, East Supreme Kai, and Kibito in the distance.
He had sensed East Supreme Kai's mental probe during the breakthrough process, which was why he came to the Supreme Kai Planet, and then took the opportunity to release Old Kai's seal, learned new things, and stayed temporarily until now.
Even though the effect of training here was indeed good, especially the Spirit Tempering Method's improvement to himself was extraordinary, Talot still had to leave.
He came to Old Kai and East Supreme Kai.
Kibito was simply ignored by Talot.
Although Kibito had not been as arrogant and self-righteous as he was at the beginning these past two days, Talot still had no good feelings towards him.
Perhaps it would change in the future, but at least for now, Talot was very indifferent to him.
"Are you really leaving? So soon?" East Supreme Kai was a little reluctant.
It seemed like it would be difficult to see each other again after this farewell.
Old Kai directly hit him on the head, which made him get rid of this inexplicable feeling.
"You idiot, it's not like he's not coming back, he just needs to go back for a while! What are you thinking about? You are a Supreme Kai, act like one."
Rebuked, East Supreme Kai's cheeks were red, extremely embarrassed.
Talot smiled and didn't interrupt, bidding farewell and leaving.
After he left, Old Kai's reprimand of East Supreme Kai did not stop.
"Hmph~! To be honest, you kid are the least like a Supreme Kai I've ever seen. For the next period of time, I will strictly teach you to become a qualified Supreme Kai, otherwise if the Supreme Kais of other universes find out, they will inevitably ridicule you. So for the next period of time, you understand," Old Kai said earnestly.
"Supreme Kais of other universes? Ancestor, are there other universes in this world besides our universe? Are there other Supreme Kais?!" East Supreme Kai said in shock.
Obviously, East Supreme Kai really didn't know anything.
This also made Old Kai cover his face helplessly, feeling ashamed.
He didn't know how this kid became a Supreme Kai? He didn't even know how he had survived until now.
God of Destruction Beerus wasn't worried at all??? He didn't even know such basic information...
"Forget it, the days ahead are still long, let's teach you slowly from the beginning," Old Kai sighed, then said.
...
Hell.
On North Kai Planet.
North Kai had been investigating Talot's sudden disappearance for two whole days.
But until now, he still hadn't found anything.
"Where did this kid go? There's no trace of him in the entire North Galaxy. That shouldn't be. Could he have gone to a galaxy under the jurisdiction of another Kai? Or perhaps..." North Kai frowned, extremely worried about Talot's whereabouts.
After all, he was his disciple, bearing all his hopes.
Could this kid have gone to some dimension that even we Kais can't reach? North Kai thought.
Just then, behind North Kai, a 'whoosh!' sound of air being torn apart rang out.
Sensing the movement behind him, North Kai immediately turned around.
The person who came into view was none other than Talot.
"You're finally back, kid. Where have you been these past two days? I searched the entire North Galaxy and couldn't find you. Don't be so reckless next time. At least tell me in advance," North Kai couldn't help but scold Talot.
It seemed like a reprimand, but it was full of concern.
How could Talot not hear it? "When I was breaking through, I vaguely sensed a special mental power secretly watching me, so I didn't have time to think and locked onto the exact coordinates based on that person's observation. After using Instant Transmission, I arrived at the Supreme Kai Planet," Talot told North Kai everything about where he had gone.
Hearing this, North Kai's brain instantly crashed, and he was stunned. It took him a long time to recover.
"You... you said you went to the Supreme Kai Planet?! Then that means... you met the East Supreme Kai??!!" North Kai asked, completely losing his composure.
He never expected that Talot would accidentally go to the Supreme Kai Planet.
Although he had previously guessed that Talot had gone to a realm that they Kais couldn't reach, that didn't include the Supreme Kai Planet.
That was a divine realm that even they Kais, including Grand Kai, couldn't reach.
"Yes, to tell the whole story, some things happened, so I came back late..." Talot slowly told North Kai about his experiences on the Supreme Kai Planet.
Meeting the East Supreme Kai, learning about the existence of Majin Buu, then pulling out the Supreme Kai Sword and releasing Old Kai, and finally developing his potential, and almost becoming the new apprentice Supreme Kai.
After listening to Talot's story, North Kai was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Especially when he heard that Talot had gained the appreciation of Old Kai and almost became an apprentice Supreme Kai, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
After all, he was the disciple he had taught. If he became a Supreme Kai, even if he would become his immediate superior in the future, he wouldn't mind.
That was a Supreme Kai!!! The highest god in the universe, the only one who could compare was the God of Destruction.
Although the God of Destruction was more terrifying...
"You brat, why did you refuse? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? As a Saiyan, this is an unparalleled honor, never before seen," North Kai scolded, furious that Talot had refused to become an apprentice Supreme Kai.
Any master would be angry, right?
His disciple had finally climbed to the top, but then refused and came back down.
"You also know my personality. I naturally don't want to be restrained... Besides, my goal is just to become stronger. There are many things I haven't done yet. Once I become a Supreme Kai, I'm naturally confident that I can become the strongest Supreme Kai, but I also know that there are many things I can no longer do," Talot said.
After hearing this, North Kai roughly understood Talot's thoughts.
He could only sigh.
He really did understand Talot.
"Forget it, forget it, it's already done. Look at yourself in the future." North Kai tried his best to calm his emotions. Then, North Kai changed the subject, his expression becoming serious, and said, "By the way, you came back just in time. While you were in the Supreme Kai Planet these past two days, I accidentally discovered some strange movements in the Frieza Force while searching for you."
"Oh? Did Frieza come out?" Talot asked in surprise.
North Kai shook his head: "It's not that Frieza came out, it's King Cold! Just a day ago, he started a large-scale mobilization of the Frieza Army and his Kurd Army, seemingly intentionally bringing the two forces together. In addition, there are also forces from the Gula Force."
"You mean, Frieza still hasn't come out, and King Cold is starting to stir, planning to reclaim the throne of Universe Emperor?" Talot said.
"That's right. After all, this old guy's strength is not to be underestimated now. I remember telling you last time," North Kai reminded.
"If I didn't get stronger after cultivating on their home planet for a month or two, then I'd be too useless. His descendants Frieza and Gula are so outstanding, so this father of theirs naturally wouldn't be bad!" Talot casually added.
During the two months of negotiations, he had roughly determined King Cold's strength.
So Talot wasn't surprised at all.
"What do you plan to do?" North Kai asked again.
"Let's go back to Earth first. After all, I've been gone for two days, and they must be worried. I'll also tell Raditz and Selari the news." Talot said.
"Alright, they actually came to me yesterday. You can go back and explain it yourself."
