"Then what should we do?"
"There is a way." Suddenly, Zeno, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
Today, he looked completely different from his usual innocent and naive self.
"The reason for the World Dragon Balls transformation is due to Zalama's excessive evil energy. If a pure soul can enter the Dragon Ball now, it can purify the World Dragon Ball's power."
"A soul entering the Dragon Ball... Can the person's soul return?" Taro asked.
"No." Zeno smiled and shook his head.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Zeno's meaning was clear: to purify the Dragon Balls, a life had to be sacrificed!
"I'll do it..."
Amid everyone's shock, Lin Chen stood up.
"Dad!"
"Lin Chen!"
Lin Luo and Lazuli stopped him.
"Lin Chen, if your soul enters the Dragon Ball, you'll die!"
"There's no other choice to save the world."
Lin Chen smiled calmly.
But Zeno shook his head at this moment: "You can't."
"Huh?" Lin Chen was taken aback.
The Grand Priest explained on behalf of Zeno: "Lin Chen, your soul is not pure and cannot purify the Dragon Ball."
Lin Chen was speechless.
But he understood the Grand Priest's meaning.
Besides inheriting the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline, Lin Chen's soul was essentially a fusion of Lin Chen from another world and Links from this world, so it wasn't pure.
But if he couldn't do it, then who could...
At this moment, a figure stood up.
"Then let me do it!"
"Goku?!"
"Kakarot!"
The figure who stood up was Goku.
"Kakarot, what are you doing?" Lin Chen asked.
Goku turned and smiled: "Brother Lin Chen, you've saved the world many times. Shouldn't it be my turn this time?"
"But you..."
"I know..." Goku looked up at the burning sky of the Dragon Realm and sighed, "Well... Brother Lin Chen, I just thought about it for a while. In fact, I have met everyone in my life because of the Dragon Balls. If it weren't for Bulma searching for the Dragon Balls back then, I wouldn't have come out of Mount Paozu, and none of the subsequent events would have happened."
"So the Dragon Balls hold significant meaning for me and for all of us."
"If I can use my life to restore this world, I'll gladly do it!"
"Dad..." Gohan clenched his fists.
"Sorry, Gohan. When you go back, apologize to Chichi for me."
Goku apologized, then walked straight towards the Dragon Balls without looking back.
"Zeno-sama, what should I do next?"
"Just make a wish to the divine dragon. After the wish is fulfilled, you will merge with the divine dragon."
"Make a wish?"
Goku smiled and raised his hands.
"Divine dragon, come out and grant my wish!"
The next moment, an enormous divine dragon emerged from the Dragon Balls.
Interestingly, this divine dragon looked like the Earth's divine dragon.
"Divine dragon, bring back to life all those who died because of Zalama!"
"Thy wish is simple." The divine dragon's eyes glowed.
Immediately, a miracle occurred across all timelines.
People who died because of the divine dragon calamity started waking up from their eternal sleep.
Among them, Satan, who had already died, also opened his eyes on Lin Chen and other's side.
"Huh? Wasn't I dead?"
"Satan! Mr. Satan!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice made Satan jump up from the ground.
"Buu... Mr. Buu!"
"Satan!"
In the distance, Fat Buu ran towards Satan, calling his name. The two hugged each other tightly, laughing joyfully.
But at this moment, everyone else turned their gaze to Goku.
The divine dragon lowered its head to Goku, allowing him to jump onto it.
"Everyone, I'm leaving!" Goku turned and waved to the crowd.
"Dad!" Gohan's eyes were filled with tears.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta rushed forward.
But before he could get close, he realized that Goku's body had already become transparent, and his feet were merging with the divine dragon.
The fusion had begun.
"Kakarot... you!"
"Sorry, Vegeta, Goodbye. Goodbye, everyone!"
The enormous divine dragon then took Goku and soared into the sky.
As they flew higher, the Dragon Realm, which had seemed on the verge of destruction, suddenly calmed down.
The sky turned blue again, and the cracks in the ground closed up.
"What's going on?"
"Has the Dragon Realm been restored?"
Seeing this, everyone was puzzled.
Lin Chen stared for a while and then suddenly shouted, "I understand!"
"Zeno-sama, has Goku become the new Dragon God?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Zeno.
Sure enough, Zeno nodded: "That's right. Goku has merged with the power of the divine dragon. From today on, he is the Dragon God II."
"Dad..." Gohan looked up again.
Piccolo patted his shoulder: "Gohan, this isn't so bad for Goku."
"Yeah."
Gohan nodded.
Everyone watched as Goku and the divine dragon disappeared before their eyes.
But they didn't know.
At the same time, across the Dragon Ball world, in almost every timeline,
On this day, many people witnessed the enormous divine dragon soaring in the sky.
After the enormous divine dragon left, the Dragon Balls in these timelines regained their power.
The legend of the Dragon Balls continues...
...
Ten years later.
As time passed, people recovered from past pains, and an era of peace finally arrived.
Timeline 14, Universe 7.
Today, planets across the Multiverse sent envoys to the Saiyans' home planet, now renamed Planet Links, to attend the coronation ceremony of the new Saiyan King Taro and his queen, Kale.
Before the ceremony began, the Saiyan palace was filled with laughter and joy.
"Taro, what's with this crown? Dad never wore such a thing before," Lin Luo laughed, pointing at the crown on Taro's head.
Taro looked helpless: "I had no choice. They said it's best to wear it for the ceremony."
"By the way, big brother, are you really going to live in Universe 6?"
"Yes, Caulifla and the kids are there. There's a planet with many rare animals, and Caulifla and I plan to live there as wildlife protectors."
"But you're Dad's son too..."
"Haha, I never wanted to be the Saiyan King."
Lin Luo laughed and looked around.
"By the way, isn't Dad coming back this time?"
"I'm afraid not," Taro said helplessly. "He said he's a god now and won't get involved in mortal matters."
"What nonsense." Lin Luo scoffed: "I heard Aunt Lazuli gave birth to two more daughters. If he's a god, he shouldn't be having kids."
"Hahaha!"
...
Dragon Realm.
In a palace, Tights hurriedly called out, "Lazuli, go get Lin Chen for dinner!"
"Got it..."
"If you got it, hurry up! Hey, Hanasia, we haven't started eating yet! How can you be sneaking food? The kids are watching!"
"But I'm hungry! Saiyans can't stand being hungry!"
Outside the palace, Lin Chen heard Tights and the others calling and couldn't help but smile.
He turned to the figure across from him and said, "Sorry, Dragon God, I need to go for dinner."
"Finish this fight first, then you can eat. Besides, you're a god now. It's not like you need to eat, right, Saiyan God?"
Goku said with a smile.
