"Bulma, Tights, we've been traveling and having fun for over a month now. It's probably time to wrap up this journey."
"I'll take you both back to West City tomorrow, and then I'll be heading to King Kai's place to train with Goku and Chi-Chi."
"So soon? We're ending it already?"
"But I'm not ready for it to end yet! Yuujin, can't you stay with us a little longer?" Bulma pleaded when she heard Yuujin talking about ending the trip.
A mere month or so wasn't enough. She wanted to stay by Yuujin's side forever if possible.
"Bulma, don't be so selfish. Yuujin has already spent a lot of time with us. We can't hold him back from his training," Tights said, gently tapping Bulma on the forehead.
"Besides, if Yuujin completes his training sooner, he'll be able to come back sooner too, right?"
"I know… but I just don't want him to leave again."
Reluctantly, Bulma accepted the reality, though her expression showed her disappointment. Yuujin couldn't help but smile to himself. Between the sisters, Bulma was clearly the smarter and cuter one, while Tights was more gentle and considerate.
Each had her charm, each her unique qualities.
"Don't worry, Bulma. We'll be back in no more than a year," Yuujin reassured her. "But during that time, I want you and Tights to help me with something."
"What do you need us to do, Yuujin?" The sisters looked at Yuujin with a newfound seriousness.
"Bulma, you saw the alien technology I showed you earlier, right? I want you two to start a company for me, using those technologies to their fullest."
"You want to start a company?" Bulma and Tights were both surprised.
"That's right. Although I am already the God of Earth, my ambitions go far beyond that. I want to conquer the galaxy… even the universe."
"While that's a distant goal, we can start preparing now. Bulma, I want you two to establish a company that will push humanity's technological progress, increase Earth's strength, and give us substantial resources. That way, we'll be ready for future plans."
"So, do you think you can do it?"
Yuujin shared his ambitions and his plans without holding back, leaving Bulma, Tights, and even Chi-Chi, who had been listening, in shock.
Yuujin wanted to conquer the galaxy—no, the entire universe!
If it were anyone else, Bulma would've laughed at them. But since it was Yuujin, she thought he might actually pull it off!
The sisters exchanged glances, seeing the same excitement sparkling in each other's eyes.
What's not to love about such an ambitious Yuujin?
To the sisters, Yuujin had never seemed more attractive!
If Yuujin could really conquer the universe, then as his girlfriends, wouldn't they also become powerful figures?
They felt more motivated and thrilled than ever.
"No problem, leave it all to us, Yuujin!" Bulma and Tights said with conviction.
Setting up a company? For these two, it was a piece of cake.
Mai had actually acquired quite some strength while training under Popo's guidance, so Yuujin brought her to West City and ordered her to protect Bulma and Tights, to which she readily agreed.
Returning to serious matters, Yuujin handed over the temple duties to Popo and prepared to take Goku and Chi-Chi to King Kai's planet. But to reach it, they'd need to enter the afterlife realm of Yellow Springs.
Ordinary people could only enter the afterlife after death, but as the God of Earth, Yuujin had the privilege to enter at will. With Goku and Chi-Chi, he vanished once more.
"Attention all souls, please line up and proceed in order. Hey, no cutting!"
At the entrance to Yellow Springs in the afterlife, a group of workers directed newly deceased souls with loudspeakers.
In the midst of it, Yuujin, Goku, and Chi-Chi suddenly appeared on a path.
"Hey, Yuujin, are we in Yellow Springs now?" asked Goku.
"That's right. This is Yellow Springs, the place where souls go after death."
"What? This place isn't scary at all!"
With eyes filled with curiosity, Goku examined her surroundings. Chi-Chi, however, pouted, looking disappointed.
Yuujin chuckled. This wasn't the real Hell but merely Yellow Springs, so it wasn't terrifying.
He could understand Chi-Chi's disappointment; the legendary afterlife realm didn't quite live up to the hype. With fresh air, bright surroundings, and modern-looking, well-dressed staff, it looked almost like a modern facility.
"Hey, you three! Who are you?"
Just then, a worker noticed them and approached.
The worker wasn't an ordinary human but one of the afterlife's attendants, resembling a human but with colored skin and two horns on their head.
"My name is Yuujin, the new God of Earth. I'm here to see Lord Yemma," Yuujin announced.
"G-God?"
The worker looked surprised, glancing at Yuujin. Though Yuujin seemed a bit young for a god, his ability to enter the afterlife as a living person was proof enough.
"Please, follow me."
Led by the worker, Yuujin and his companions soon arrived in Lord Ye,ma's grand hall.
Lord Yemma governed Yellow Springs and the afterlife, determining whether souls went to Heaven or Hell—a significant figure with immense power.
However, seeing the massive figure seamed at a desk, Yuujin couldn't help but smile wryly.
This Lord Yemma looked remarkably like his older brother Ox-King. Could they be relatives?
Although it was an unlikely idea, Yuujin found himself silently amused.
Apparently, Goku and Chi-Chi noticed the resemblance as well, staring at Lord Yemma in astonishment.
Stamp after stamp, Lord Yemma processed souls to Heaven or Hell until he finally looked up, his gaze landing on Yuujin and his companions.
"So, you're the new God of Earth?"
Lord Yemma's deep, resonant voice echoed throughout the hall.
"That's right. I'm Yuujin, the new God of Earth. It's an honor to meet you, Lord Yemma."
Yuujin stepped forward and greeted Lord Yemma respectfully.
In terms of authority, Yemma, who controlled the souls of the deceased, was higher-ranking than the Earth's god. In strength, Lord Yemma, who had trained on King Kai's planet five centuries ago, was undoubtedly stronger than the current Yuujin.
Yuujin respected powerful figures who weren't his enemies.
Lord Yemma observed Yuujin with interest, pausing his work.
"Young man, why aren't you staying on Earth? What brings you to the afterlife?"
