Kami's words left Master Roshi and Krillin petrified on the spot.
Yajirobe was trembling.
"Kami, how could you agree to this?! He almost killed Goku, and he wanted to abduct Goku's son Gohan... If you let him go with Goku, who knows what might happen..." Krillin tried to interject, but he had to stop mid-sentence.
Not only did Kami's glance silence him, but Raditz also gave him a look of disdain.
"Little baldy, what do you know?! You know, if it were the old me, I would have killed you already," Raditz turned around, his face murderous.
Just a word from him was enough to frighten Krillin into submission.
"I... I warn you... This is Kami's Lookout, and everyone is here. You had better not start anything..." Krillin tried to suppress his fear, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Raditz just laughed out loud at this.
The little bald guy, trying to threaten him now?
"It's okay, Krillin. I don't know about the old big brother, but the big brother now has changed! He attacked me before, only to take me away from Earth to invade other planets."
"The two other Saiyans also influenced it! My brother probably didn't have the strength to fight against his fate. Now that he has a chance, he naturally won't be the same as before."
"Since I've chosen to trust, then I'll trust completely! Moreover, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from training with Big Brother at King Kai's."
Goku put a hand on Krillin's shoulder, trying to ease the situation and defend Raditz.
It's worth saying that even Lin Chuan sometimes couldn't understand Goku's thoughts.
Things are changing too fast...
One moment, he's trying to kill his brother. The next, he's forgiven him.
"But... well, okay." Seeing Goku act this way, Krillin wanted to say more, but when he noticed Master Roshi shaking his head at him, he had to accept it.
He wanted to train too... but now that chance was snatched by Raditz.
No one understood his anguish.
But he hadn't given up entirely.
Knowing what the future held, even if he couldn't go to King Kai's for training, he wouldn't just sit idly by.
Meanwhile, as Lin Chuan witnessed all this, he reflected, "It seems the changes I've made are slowly causing the original trajectory to shift! While the main storyline hasn't changed, seeds have been planted."
The world was beginning to change.
...
"Krillin, you shouldn't feel regret or resentment. Although I can't send you to King Kai for training, you can spend the next year training here at Kami's Lookout."
"Including Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha."
"They are among the best martial artists on Earth, and I will arrange for Mr. Popo to find them later."
Seeing Krillin's sadness and reluctance, Kami elaborated on his additional plans.
He, of course, also needed to cultivate Earth's warriors, taking their skills to the next level.
That way, they could better resolve the crisis that is coming in a year.
At least, this was another way to ensure Earth's safety.
"Is that really possible?" Krillin brightened up upon hearing Kami's words.
For him, training at Kami's Lookout was also a great opportunity.
At least, it was much better than training on his own.
...
Thus, Kami explains, and Lin Chuan embellishes the situation.
Lin Chuan and Raditz were thoroughly drawn into the subsequent original storyline.
However, unlike Raditz, Lin Chuan didn't need to follow Kami's arrangements for training, nor could anyone influence him.
It's worth mentioning that Kami, seemingly in a hurry and saying there was no time to waste, took Goku and Raditz on their way to the Otherworld.
It seemed he feared Goku and Raditz might have second thoughts or cause further complications, potentially derailing all plans.
Others might not know Kami's intentions, but how could Lin Chuan not?
Now, about twenty minutes had passed.
With no Kami or Raditz around, Lin Chuan wasn't interested in saying much more and walked aside to contemplate his next moves.
Since arriving on Earth until now, he has been using his knowledge to effect changes. Now that the situation was set, it was his turn.
Because he was far away, Lin Chuan didn't bother with what was happening elsewhere.
After all, the others were acquaintances, and even though Mr. Popo had only met them a couple of times, Bulma, Master Roshi, Krillin, and Gohan all knew each other well and had things in common.
Of course, even if he couldn't hear clearly, Lin Chuan could guess they were probably thinking that Kami had been rash in deciding to let Raditz train.
With Goku.
Additionally, they must have been contemplating how to explain everything to Chi-Chi.
After all, Goku had left just like that! And he would be gone for at least a year!
...
Standing on the edge of Kami's Lookout.
Lin Chuan took deep breaths of the fresh air, enjoying the feeling of looking down from above.
No wonder the original Piccolo, even after splitting himself, wanted to be Kami.
To hold dominion over a planet, to be the ruler of countless lives! What an exciting and prideful notion!
If there weren't any subsequent Dragon Ball Z storylines, he, having transmigrated, might have tried being Kami himself—supreme and unchallenged.
Of course, the world was too big, and Earth too small!
Lin Chuan couldn't let the role of a minor Kami restrict his vision.
His future was bound to be magnificent!
And his task was to keep getting stronger, to keep moving forward!
[Speaking of which, if I want to rise rapidly in a short time, there's one fast way...] A thought flashed through his mind. Lin Chuan turned and looked back towards the palace of Kami's Lookout.
As a transmigrant, how could he not know about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
A year inside equates to just a day outside!
With his system of infinite power growth, even if it's only +1 power per second, entering there means he could gain a year's worth of combat strength in just a day outside!
A day has 86,400 seconds!
Thirty days make 2,592,000 seconds.
Twelve months make 31,104,000 seconds!
Given the initial rule of only two days per person, which means two years of training time, his combat strength could increase by more than 62 million points!
He could become this strong without doing anything else.
And with an additional year in the outside world by the time he faces Frieza on Namek, even if he hasn't become a Super Saiyan with a power level breaking the billion, he'd still be well-prepared to face Frieza at that time!
