Planet Vegeta had been reduced to cosmic dust.
Despite the final explosion being dazzlingly brilliant, it lasted only a fleeting moment.
With the destruction of Planet Vegeta, Frieza led his subordinates, piloting their spaceships away from the region filled with planetary debris.
To him, it seemed to matter not at all.
...
One day later.
In a desolate area on Planet Lampa.
The smoke from the explosions and the pungent smell of blood mixed together, emitting a nauseating odor.
As far as the eye could see, there were broken walls and ruins, bodies strewn everywhere.
There was no doubt that this was the work of the Vegeta Squad.
Led by Vegeta, along with Nappa, Raditz, and other warriors, they had spent an entire month finally slaughtering the entire population of Planet Lampa, completely conquering the planet.
Now, the Vegeta Squad was resting in a relatively clean area among the ruins.
They sat around a campfire, eating the meat of some special animals to stave off their hunger.
'Beep... Beep... Beep...'
At that moment, their Power Level Detectors simultaneously received a message from Frieza's army.
Nappa was the first to read the content, his pupils constricting in disbelief as he shouted out loud.
The two warriors beside him had the same reaction, both shocked.
"Prince Vegeta! Frieza's army has sent a message saying that our Planet Vegeta exploded due to a massive meteor impact a day ago!
"Most of the Saiyans died in the explosion. The survivors, apart from us, are probably very few now."
Nappa approached Vegeta and reported to him.
In the past month, Vegeta's strength had rapidly increased, his potential unleashed through relentless battles.
His combat power had already surpassed 4,000 points, even approaching 5,000 points!
Upon hearing Nappa's words, Vegeta coldly took a bite of the roasted meat in his hand, completely unaffected, his demeanor icy.
"Hmph! What can be done if it's already destroyed? As long as we are still alive, the Saiyans will never go extinct!" Vegeta's response left Nappa and the other two Saiyans stunned.
Vegeta's cold and ruthless nature had surpassed their understanding.
Not long ago, the deaths of three companions were seen by Vegeta as the tragedy of the weak, and now the explosion of the planet had not swayed his heart in the slightest.
Terrifying!
These two words flashed through their minds.
Even the elite warrior Broly, who was also the king's guard, drew a sharp breath.
He was an elite, and the king's bodyguard!
Vegeta's cold and ruthless nature was identical to that of King Vegeta. To put it bluntly, he was indeed the son of King Vegeta, almost a carbon copy.
Due to Vegeta's coldness, no one dared to press the issue further.
A few of them discussed among themselves, trying to decide what to do next.
With Planet Vegeta gone, they had lost their homeworld, effectively becoming homeless.
What about Vegeta?
He completely ignored the conversation of his subordinates, lost in his own thoughts.
Ridiculous, a meteor impact causing the planet to explode!
If such a coincidence existed in the world, there would be no reason not to notice it.
Even if a planet were to collide, they could simply destroy it!
Vegeta didn't know the truth, but he knew one thing: the message from Frieza's army was not to be trusted.
Without Planet Vegeta, without resources and support, Vegeta struggled internally for a long time before making a bold and significant decision.
Even if Frieza is his enemy, even if the explosion of Planet Vegeta and the extinction of the Saiyan race are directly linked to Frieza, he can only submit for now and slowly develop his strength.
...
Beside him, Raditz fell into deep despair.
[How could this happen? How could Planet Vegeta suddenly explode... Dad... Mom... Talot, Selari... and Kakarot... they all...]
Raditz refused to accept this reality.
But he had no choice but to accept it, because right after receiving the news, he immediately tried to contact his family using the communicator, only to receive a busy signal each time.
His family had perished along with the planet's explosion...
Everything had happened so suddenly, leaving him completely unprepared.
[No! Two months ago, Mom said that Kakarot was sent to a planet called Earth! Could it be that Dad and Mom had already foreseen this? This isn't an accident, it's a conspiracy! And Talot, he must have already left Planet Vegeta!]
Raditz's thoughts became increasingly clear.
It was unclear whether he had come to this realization on his own or if it was due to Talot's influence over the years, which had helped him grow.
Looking at Vegeta, then at Nappa, Broly, and Dacis, he hesitated, ultimately swallowing his words.
Some things could be said, but others could not.
He wasn't stupid; he knew the situation was unclear, and he had no one to rely on, so he had to be as low-key as possible.
Otherwise, he would end up like the other two upper-class warriors of his age, who had been abandoned.
...
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
On Planet Aura.
In recent days, Talot, Gine, and Selari had conducted a comprehensive exploration of Planet Aura.
Although they had only roughly surveyed the planet, they now had a good understanding of its general terrain.
In essence, exploring Planet Aura had three main purposes.
First, to find the Blood Fruit Tree.
Second, to find the Aoyun People.
Third, to see if there were any special powers or entities on the planet.
Summarizing their three days of exploration, they had neither found another Blood Fruit Tree nor discovered anything worth pursuing or deeply exploring.
As for the Aoyun People, they did find them.
As initially expected, these beings did not live in the forests.
That's why Talot and the others had not encountered them.
The Aoyun People were humanoid, but they were massive like mermaids, with gills that allowed them to breathe in the sea.
The information stating that the Aoyun People were massive was accurate, but everything else was completely fabricated and filled in arbitrarily.
Since they harbored no hostility, Talot, Gine, and Selari quickly became friends with the Aoyun People.
Without any invasion or conquest, they could coexist peacefully.
The Aoyun People were a very kind and gentle race. Despite the brutal laws of nature, they possessed high intelligence but had not yet developed a high civilization of their own.
With enough time, or with the guidance of some alien technology, the Aoyun People would soon develop.
Of course, the progress of a race also meant facing unimaginable challenges. Any misstep could lead to the extinction of their race in the long river of history.
