In an unknown timeline.
A dying young Saiyan awakened on the battlefield.
"Wh-where am I?"
The young man looked around, seeing a strange land and an unfamiliar world.
The only thing he could tell was that he seems to be on a battlefield.
There were craters from explosions everywhere, and torn apart dead bodies.
"Is this... wasn't I run over by a truck? How can this be? Hmm?"
Suddenly, the young man noticed that the clothes on him were not the ones he originally wore, and even his body seemed different.
A part that wasn't there before was now swaying behind him.
"A tail? Th-this…"
The young man rushed to a nearby lake, but was shocked to find that he was flying?!
Everything became clear when he reached the lake.
"This... isn't me? I've transmigrated? This is the Dragon Ball world? I've become a Saiyan?! My name is Links…?!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for arriving in the Dragon Ball world, activating the Strongest Selection System."
"Choice one: Defeat Frieza and prevent the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Reward: Legendary Saiyan bloodline."
"Choice two: Defeat Supreme Kai. Reward: Supreme Kai's Power."
"Choice three: Defeat the God of Destruction and prevent the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Reward: God of Destruction's Power."
...
Lin Chen's remnant soul quietly watched his past self, then turned into the wind and disappeared from this world along with the remaining Power of Miracles.
At this moment, in the Dragon Realm, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Although his remnant soul had disappeared, everything the remnant soul saw had been transmitted to Lin Chen's main consciousness.
He finally understands the reason for everything.
He also understands why his system disappeared after the Tournament of Power.
At that time, his system was probably taken away along with the Super Shenron.
The source of the system was Zalama's Power of Miracles. Even though Lin Chen later added his own Power of Miracles, it's like a computer: Zalama's Power of Miracles was the CPU, and with the CPU gone, the graphics card, hard drive, and other components created with Lin Chen's Power of Miracles naturally lost their function.
So, that's the truth…
Lin Chen looked at the Dragon God Zalama in front of him, who was staring back at him in alarm and slightly smiled.
"Zalama, thank you."
"You, you…"
Zalama looked speechless at Lin Chen, having seen everything that the remnant soul saw.
This made Zalama realize that everything was predestined. It was his attempt to erase Lin Chen that led to Lin Chen appearing before him today.
"Damn it, damn it... I will not lose to you! Eternal Dragon! Dragon God Fist!"
Zalama roared, turning into a divine dragon apparition as he charged towards Lin Chen.
"Zalama, this is my final attack…"
"Dragon Fist Explosion!"
As Lin Chen's voice fell, a massive golden dragon appeared behind him, enveloping his entire body.
Then the two enormous divine dragons apparition collided.
When the divine dragon apparitions dissipated, Lin Chen was already behind Zalama, his fist stained with green blood.
Boom…
Suddenly, the entire Dragon Realm shook, and the sky began to burn and the ground cracked. The entire Dragon Realm seems on the verge of destruction.
The reason lies behind Lin Chen, in the body of Zalama, who now has a massive hole punched through him.
"I... I am the Dragon God... Za...la...ma... How can I die?!"
Zalama's eyes opened wide in disbelief.
But in the next moment, his body exploded, like a beautiful firework blooming before everyone's eyes.
With the terrifying explosion, Zalama's aura completely disappeared from the world.
"Wo...won!"
"Dad!"
After a brief silence, cheers erupted out, and everyone excitedly flew to Lin Chen, tightly embracing him.
Canceling his Super Saiyan 5 form, Lin Chen felt completely drained, letting himself be carried by the crowd's embrace.
However, as everyone was celebrating, a powerful evil aura suddenly appeared.
Everyone turned their heads to see seven enormous dragon balls where Zalama exploded, emitting a faint golden light.
But a hint of red was spreading on these golden dragon balls, gradually turning them red.
"What's this… What's happening?"
"Why are there dragon balls?"
As everyone was puzzled, two figures suddenly appeared before their sight.
"Zeno-sama? Grand Priest-sama?"
No one expected Zeno and the Grand Priest to appear in the Dragon Realm.
Especially since they remember Chronoa saying that only those invited by the Dragon God could enter the Dragon Realm, not even Zeno and the Grand Priest should be able to enter.
"Don't be surprised," the Grand Priest smiled, "Zalama is dead, the barrier of the Dragon Realm is lifted. Until it resurrects, we can enter freely."
"Resurrect?"
Lin Chen caught the Grand Priest's words: "Grand Priest, what do you mean? Is Zalama not dead?"
"No, he's definitely dead. But as you can see, Zalama is also a divine dragon. His true identity is actually the divine dragon created by all the Zeno-sama of different timelines working together to forge the super super dragon balls, also known as the World Dragon Balls."
"Zeno-sama originally created Zalama in the hope of using his power to bring miracles to the world, but they did not expect that Zalama would become tainted by the negative energy of the world in the process of using his power, and get corrupted."
"Zeno-sama didn't destroy Zalama back then, hoping to give him a chance to correct himself. But things didn't go as planned, and Zalama's evil thoughts grew stronger. As you can see, even Zalama's dragon balls are turning into dark dragon balls."
"If left unchecked, when the dragon balls fully transform, a new Dark Zalama will be born."
Grand Priest explained.
"Then, what should we do? Can we destroy the dragon balls?" Lin Chen asked immediately.
"That's impossible," the Grand Priest shook his head, "World Dragon Balls are made with the power of Zeno-sama from all timelines. Even if the world is destroyed, the dragon balls will still remain."
