This was his plan for the GT timeline and space. If GT space-time continued on this way, disaster was inevitable. To prevent its destruction, it had to be placed back on the correct path.
And to do that, the universe must have a God of Destruction.
The current Kaiōshin were simply not qualified.
Compared to the Kaiōshin of the full multiverse, the Kaiōshin of the GT timeline were practically nothing more than figureheads. Forget creation and regeneration; they didn't even have the ability to travel through time and space.
How could such gods possibly manage an entire universe?
"God of Destruction… Kaiōshin…" The Old Kaiōshin muttered under his breath, shock flickering in his expression.
Even Kibito Kai widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Aspara San, are the Gods of Destruction really that powerful?" Son Goku couldn't hold back his curiosity, his eyes practically glowing.
"As for Kaiōshin, it should be possible! Though, most Kaiōshin are born from the World Core, there are exceptions where others have become Kaiōshin."
"However, based on what you've said, the Kaiōshin and Gods of Destruction in Zen'ō's Universe wield abilities we cannot match. Even if Goku became a Kaiōshin, he may not have such powers. As for the God of Destruction, our universe doesn't even have such a spiritual entity. How would one come into being?"
After a long silence, the Old Kaiōshin finally spoke.
"That, Lord Old Kaiōshin, you need not worry about. All you need to do is make Goku a Kaiōshin; that alone is enough. As for the rest, I'll handle it." Jiang Chen smiled faintly as he spoke.
Indeed, the GT timeline didn't have such a structured system. But Zen'ō's Universe did.
As long as he took Goku and Vegeta there, everything could be resolved. And afterward, there was nothing to worry about. The plotline was already approaching the Battle of Gods arc.
Once Beerus and Whis appeared, the problems would naturally resolve themselves.
If things became too difficult, he could even ask the Old Kaiōshin to help contact a God of Destruction directly.
"Is that so? …Then very well! Goku, come with me!" The Old Kaiōshin gave a slight nod, hesitation vanishing from his face.
"O-okay!" Son Goku nodded quickly and followed after him.
The two gradually disappeared into the depths, beginning the succession ritual of the Kaiōshin. As Jiang Chen watched Goku and the Old Kaiōshin depart, Vegeta hesitated, then walked over.
"Aspara, you--" He started to speak, but halfway through, his words faltered.
"You want to ask about the God of Destruction, don't you?" Seeing Vegeta struggle for words, Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Yes. Just how strong is a God of Destruction?" Vegeta couldn't suppress his question.
"In the vast flow of the universe, under the management of the Kaiōshin and Kaiō, endless life has given birth to countless civilizations. Where there is life, there is death; where there is death, new life emerges. Only this balance allows the universe to develop steadily. And thus, the role of the God of Destruction was born."
"The quality of the work done by both the Kaiōshin and the Gods of Destruction directly affects the average level of mortal civilizations. Gods of Destruction possess overwhelming battle power, masters of annihilation, their strength is so great that it can erase entire universes."
Jiang Chen explained calmly to Vegeta, giving only a simple introduction. He deliberately left out the fact that Kaiōshin and Gods of Destruction are paired by destiny.
If Vegeta learned that, who knew if he'd still agree to become one?
In truth, Jiang Chen's choice was undoubtedly the right one.
Hearing his words, Vegeta's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
"God of Destruction…" He muttered to himself, expression filled with anticipation.
Watching him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile. Everything was going even more smoothly than he had expected. And in his eyes, Vegeta was indeed the one most suited to become the God of Destruction.
This was something even Broly could hardly compare to.
After all, while Broly's strength was undeniably immense, especially the Broly from Zen'ō's Universe, who was almost a terrifying existence beyond comprehension, he still lacked the rationality that Vegeta possessed.
The God of Destruction, though feared and disliked by all, was still a figure whom everyone across the universe had to respect. From the Kaiōshin above, to the Kaiō in the middle, to planetary kings and even Shenron, all would bow, speak flattering words, and tread carefully, terrified that a single misstep might displease the God of Destruction and bring total annihilation.
But in truth, the God of Destruction was not some mindless lunatic who only destroyed for destruction's sake.
Planetary cleansing was part of his duty.
And compared to others, Vegeta was indeed a perfect fit.
As Jiang Chen and Vegeta continued their discussion, time flowed by slowly, minute by minute, second by second.
No one knew how long had passed.
Just when Vegeta was growing impatient, From the depths of the sanctum, the Old Kaiōshin emerged, leading Son Goku out from the very center.
At this moment, Goku's appearance had clearly changed. His original clothing had transformed into attire like that of a Kaiōshin.
Most importantly, a Potara earring now hung from his ear.
"He succeeded! Goku is indeed highly suited to becoming a Kaiōshin!" The Old Kaiōshin spoke slowly, a faint smile appearing on his aged face.
"Goku, how do you feel?" Jiang Chen asked, his gaze fixed on Goku.
He was extremely curious about the Kaiōshin of the GT timeline and space, since they were not the same as those in Zen'ō's Universe.
Beside him, Vegeta's eyes also turned toward Goku. And under their combined gazes, Goku shook his head blankly.
"It doesn't really feel any different."
He muttered in confusion. Truly, he didn't sense any difference at all.
(Explanation: In the GT timeline and space, there are no Gods of Destruction, nor other higher divine systems. Even the abilities of Kaiōshin are very limited; instant transmission and healing are not Kaiōshin abilities, but those of Kaiō attendants. As for the World Core, that comes from the original Dragon Ball lore: the four Kaiō grow on a massive planet called the "World Core Star," similar to Kaiō Planet but much larger. Each Kaiō is born from the fruit of a giant "World Tree" on the World Core Star, and these beings are called "Core People." The planet has a population of around 80, and Core People are genderless with an average lifespan of 75,000 years. They live leisurely lives, studying in school-like cities. When a Kaiō of a certain planet dies, a new Kaiō is chosen from among the Core People. Kaiōshin, however, are different; the candidates are chosen from Core People born from the rare golden fruit (ordinary Kaiō come from normal fruit). There also exist Core People with evil hearts, who instead pledge allegiance to the Demon Kaiō).
