The Tournament of Power was about to begin. But just as everyone was waiting, an unexpected event occurred.
"Oh, it's postponed?" Seeing Whis arrive and hearing his words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
"Yes. The Great Priest has discovered traces of the Universe Seed, so this time, Lord Zen'ō (King of All) has decided to hold the Tournament of Power three months later." Whis nodded, speaking with a solemn tone.
"Understood!" Jiang Chen nodded in response.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall Fu and Haz. It was clear that the Zen'ō Universe would also have to face the deeper layers of the Devil Realm. In the Universe, if anyone was in the greatest danger, it was undoubtedly Lord Zen'ō (King of All) and the Zen'ō Universe itself.
After all, once a Universe Seed is born, the entire Zen'ō Universe could collapse.
So a postponement was not too surprising.
"By the way, Lord Beerus said that during this time, you can go to the God of Destruction's Planet to train."
"Is there anyone who wants to go? Beerus asked me to guide you." As if recalling something, Whis looked at everyone present with a faint, cheerful smile.
Hearing this, everyone, from Raditz and Son Goku to the Bardock Squad who couldn't participate in the tournament, brightened instantly.
The God of Destruction's Planet… that was the God of Destruction's Planet.
And they would have Angel Whis to guide them.
Under such circumstances, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
"Boom!"
As the group talked, a flowing light shot up into the clouds.
"Vegeta!" When the silhouette appeared, Raditz was momentarily stunned and instinctively called out.
"I'm going too!" Vegeta said coldly, then immediately descended to one side.
Following Vegeta, others soon spoke up one after another. In the end, most of them chose to head to the God of Destruction's Planet. Compared to training on Earth, it was obvious that training on the God of Destruction's Planet would be much more efficient.
"Alright! Everyone, please wait a moment!" Angel Whis nodded with a smile, then a rainbow-colored light instantly enveloped everyone.
"Whoosh!"
The light swept over them, and in the next moment, their silhouettes shot into the deepest layers of the Universe.
The God of Destruction's Planet.
"Boom!"
The rainbow light fell, and everyone appeared directly on the God of Destruction's Planet.
"By the way, Whis San, I want to ask… where has the Vegeta from the other world gone now?"
As his silhouette fell, seemingly recalling something, Jiang Chen looked at Angel Whis with a questioning expression.
"You mean that Vegeta San? I've taken him to Qishen Star for training. Right now, Lord Beerus probably doesn't have the time to personally guide him," Angel Whis said with a smile.
"I see. Thank you!" Jiang Chen nodded, expressing his gratitude.
Qishen Star was a place meant for the training of a God of Destruction. Even without Beerus' guidance, it was still the best choice for Vegeta. If he could emerge successfully from his training, he could become a newly awakened God of Destruction.
Moreover, with Son Goku currently training under the guidance of the Old Kaiō, the two of them could form the most complete Spiritual God system within the GT world, thereby stabilizing the entire GT world.
It would prevent the GT world from collapsing completely.
It should be noted that in the original timeline, the GT world was inevitably doomed to collapse.
This is why GT world's Son Goku and GT world's Vegeta ultimately became Time and Space patrolers.
"No need to thank me! Vegeta San is training very hard. It may not be long before a newly awakened God of Destruction is born. However, Aspara San, there is one thing I must remind you. That Universe, covered by the Dragon God Zalama's power, has a Spiritual God system akin to Lord Zen'ō's. It's not the best choice. Dragon God Zalama may not care, but it could very likely stir instability within that Universe."
Angel Whis nodded, then smiled gently as he spoke.
"Instability?" Jiang Chen's mind stirred as he asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.
"In the multiverse, Universes are generally divided into three types: those governed by Demon Gods, those under the control of Lord Zen'ō, and those derived from Dragon God Zalama's power. Compared with the Demon Gods' Universes and Zen'ō's Universes, the Universes formed from Dragon God Zalama's dissipated power are far from complete. If a complete system arises there, it will inevitably cause instability within that Universe."
Seemingly understanding Jiang Chen's doubt, Angel Whis explained gently, still smiling.
"I see!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, lost in thought.
He now largely understood Angel Whis' meaning.
Dragon God Zalama's Universes were extremely incomplete. Under such incompleteness, if a fully formed system descended into them, it would inevitably trigger massive conflict within the Universe.
If unresolved…
The collision of positive and negative forces would be enough to plunge the entire Universe into an abyss.
This realization made him serious in an instant.
Previously, he had only considered perfecting the entire GT Universe through the Kaiō and God of Destruction, without realizing that such perfection also depended on the foundation of the Universe itself.
The GT Universe's foundation was inherently chaotic and ever-expanding.
Applying a constraint to it would inevitably create major problems in the balance of this disorder.
"Whis San, could you provide some guidance?" Jiang Chen took a deep breath, looked toward Angel Whis, and spoke solemnly.
"Hehe, Aspara San, this really isn't such a big problem. As long as the God of Destruction's power and the Kaiō's power don't spread across the entire Universe at once, the resulting echoes won't be too severe. If we proceed carefully, it can be done gradually," Angel Whis said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.
"All right! Everyone, come over here! The special training begins now. Lord Beerus really knows how to give me trouble!" Angel Whis no longer explained anything and began personally instructing everyone in their training.
As an Angel, Whis was undoubtedly the most expert in the entire Seventh Universe.
Even when compared across the entire Zen'ō (King of All) hierarchy, or even the whole Dragon Ball world, Whis' strength was indisputable.
As mentioned before, if God of Destruction Beerus was considered one of the strongest Gods of Destruction in the twelve Universes, then Angel Whis was one of the most powerful Angels in all twelve Universes.
His ability to teach was beyond question.
Soon, everyone became fully absorbed in their training.
Not just Raditz, Son Goku, and Vegeta, even Jiang Chen was no exception.
At this point, his strength was already considerable.
But clearly, this level of power had not yet reached Angel Whis' level; in fact, the gap was still significant.
With Super Saiyan 4 combined with Super Saiyan God, his battle power had already surpassed many Gods of Destruction. Even compared to God of Destruction Beerus, he was not far behind.
But that comparison was only among Gods of Destruction. Against an Angel, the difference was immense.
Spiritual Gods were divided into nine tiers:
Tier 1: Planet Gods
Tier 2: Yama Kings
Tier 3: Kaiō
Tier 4: Great Kaiō
Tier 5: Kaiōshin
Tier 6: Great Kaiōshin and Gods of Destruction
Tier 7: Angels
Tier 8: Great Priest
Tier 9: Zen'ō (King of All)
(Note: These tiers denote rank, not pure power. Gods of Destruction and Kaiōshin are theoretically the same tier, but in practice, Gods of Destruction surpass Kaiōshin in both strength and status.)
Time Kaiōshin, Demon Gods, and Dragon God Zalama were theoretically Tier 9 as well. However, in reality, both Demon Gods and Dragon God Zalama subtly surpassed Tier 9.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's strength was roughly equivalent to a God of Destruction, but he was still far below the seventh-tier Angel. With the careful guidance of a seventh-tier Spiritual God Angel, Jiang Chen's power was advancing rapidly.
If that was true for him, the others were undoubtedly progressing even faster.
Everyone became fully immersed in this intense training.
"Yes, exactly like this! Unlike the previous combat style relying on Ki perception, this method uses the body's reflexes to move automatically without any conscious thought, maximizing speed and reaction ability."
On the God of Destruction's Planet, Angel Whis continuously evaded attacks.
Even though Jiang Chen had transformed into Super Saiyan 4 combined with Super Saiyan God, he still couldn't touch Angel Whis for even an instant.
"Huff… huff…"
After a while, Jiang Chen stopped, his body heaving and drenched in sweat.
"This power is truly terrifying. You Saiyans' power can even surpass a Spiritual God. However, such power places a tremendous burden on your body. If your physique isn't fully elevated, this transformation could shorten your lifespan." Angel Whis said with admiration, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen, who was gasping heavily.
"I understand!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
He naturally understood Angel Whis' words. Or rather, after he mastered Super Saiyan 5, he felt his life force being pushed to the extreme.
This kind of strain was partially alleviated by the power of Super Saiyan God, especially his complete form of Super Saiyan God, which gave him a life level far beyond that of an ordinary human.
Naturally, this helped mitigate the strain.
But it was only mitigation.
It could not escape the immense pressure and overextension that the Super Saiyan form imposed on the body. The only way to truly resolve it was to advance his life-level, a complete leap in his existence.
But achieving that step was extremely difficult.
Unless he became a Spiritual God directly.
However, if he didn't want to lock his current strength permanently, becoming a Spiritual God required a breakthrough in his own Dimensions.
Inheriting a godly title alone would not work. For example, at this moment, he could inherit a planet and become a Planet God. In that case, his Dimensions would inevitably advance.
But his power would also solidify the moment he became a Planet God, making further progress nearly impossible. Even becoming a Kaiōshin would likely have the same limitation.
Divine transformation inherently remodels the body, and once this remodeling begins, it is likely permanent.
Unless he broke through his Dimensions on his own.
But that was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Even in the Dragon Ball World, there are many fighting forces who have surpassed the Spiritual God tier, even reaching God of Destruction level, but to break through Dimensions as a mortal to reach Spiritual God level? No one has ever done it, not in past lifetimes, nor in this world.
This wasn't simply a matter of talent, nor any ordinary obstacle, it was nearly impossible.
Zamasu's words were not wrong: humans and gods are fundamentally different beings.
They are not the same kind of existence.
"Whis San… I don't know how to breakthrough Dimensions," Jiang Chen finally asked, after a brief pause.
To be honest, even as a World Conqueror, Jiang Chen was not very familiar with this.
"Breaking through Dimensions, Aspara San, is extremely difficult. Across the entire Zen'ō Universe, apart from a few destroyed Universes, no living being has ever achieved it," Angel Whis said with a gentle smile.
"Never?"
Hearing Whis' words, Jiang Chen's brow twitched.
He had understood that this would be very difficult, but he had never imagined it could be so extreme.
Apart from those destroyed Universes, not a single being had achieved it.
It was simply unbelievable.
And this was the entire Zen'ō Universe.
Even in the current Time and Space, there were no few beings whose battle power surpassed that of Gods of Destruction.
Not to mention over the past millions or even hundreds of millions of years.
"Yes, never before. For a human to break through Dimensions, it is truly a godly leap. It cannot be achieved simply by mastering godly energy or divine techniques. However, Aspara San, Chronoa Sama value you greatly. You probably won't need a leap after all," Angel Whis said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Chen forced a bitter smile and remained silent for a while.
He didn't argue with Whis' words.
Given how highly the Time Kaiōshin Chronoa regarded him, he trusted that in the future he could certainly become a Time Kaiōshin himself.
But such a divine ascension was not the same as breaking through Dimensions, this wasn't what he wanted.
Without a personal breakthrough, it meant that unless he could fully conquer the Dragon Ball World, it would be very difficult to carry this power out.
And conquering the entire Dragon Ball World… Jiang Chen felt that was still a daunting task.
Especially since the complexity of this Dragon Ball World far exceeded his expectations.
Even at his current strength, Jiang Chen felt that becoming a Time Kaiōshin might not be enough.
Particularly in a Dragon Ball world that had not yet ended and continued to spawn new stories, the difficulty of conquest was likely greater than most worlds.
So the best solution remained a personal breakthrough.
Even if he couldn't grow further, at least this power could be carried out.
Just like his Super Saiyan 4 form, or the Super Saiyan God.
Even Super Saiyan 5 would be possible.
Jiang Chen remained silent. Angel Whis smiled and didn't continue speaking, instead resuming instruction and guiding everyone through their training.
On the other side…
Frieza had already entered the Frost Demon Clan's Holy Grounds.
He too began training.
Repeated defeats, especially being humiliated by Vegeta, had finally pushed Frieza past his limit.
He would train, surpass everything, and crush those cursed apes to dust and ashes.
(I, the Great King, will do a few more push-ups, what's this Super Saiyan nonsense.)
