With Talot, Gine, and Selari reaching a consensus, the Spaceship, under the control of the intelligent system, entered Earth's large Ki layer and headed toward the Heavenly Palace.

---

Meanwhile.

High in the sky of Earth.

The Heavenly Palace stood above the clouds, resembling a sacred aerial fortress and a giant soup bowl.

Its style was unique, yet it exuded a grand Ki aura.

The platform of the Temple was embedded with square, white stone slabs, and on one side stood the Hall of the Heavenly God.

Being here felt like stepping into a secluded holy land.

At this moment, in front of the Temple, the God of Earth · Piccolo seemed to sense something, his aged face drenched in cold sweat.

A strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart, making him feel uneasy and powerless.

Fortunately, Popo, quick on his feet, supported him, preventing him from falling.

"Lord Heavenly God, are you alright?" Popo asked with concern.

Hearing this, God of Earth · Piccolo shook his head, steadied himself, and then looked toward the distant horizon: "I'm fine, Popo. Did you feel it too? Three incredibly terrifying Ki auras have descended upon our Earth..."

As he spoke, God of Earth · Piccolo's expression grew even more solemn.

Popo nodded beside him.

His strength was great, and he had long reached a certain level in Ki cultivation. If God of Earth · Piccolo could sense it, how could he not?

"I don't know if these three outsiders are friends or foes. If they are enemies, Earth will face the greatest crisis in its history!" God of Earth · Piccolo said gravely.

In his advanced age, he had been the Heavenly God for three hundred years. Such a crisis on Earth was something he had never imagined.

"Lord Heavenly God, we haven't seen these three outsiders yet, so everything is still unknown. Please take care of yourself," Popo said worriedly.

He knew very well that God of Earth · Piccolo was in his twilight years.

Whenever he saw God of Earth · Piccolo experiencing intense emotional fluctuations, he would be deeply concerned.

Although God of Earth · Piccolo had another twenty to thirty years to live, Popo had witnessed the fall of the previous Heavenly God. For him and the gods, twenty to thirty years was a pitifully short lifespan.

"I know, don't worry, Popo," God of Earth · Piccolo nodded.

The two continued to gaze at the sky, their expressions reflecting their anxiety.

As time ticked by, cold sweat began to bead on their faces.

Not only did they sense it, but they also saw with their own eyes a Spaceship descending from the sky.

In just a few seconds, the disc-shaped Spaceship had landed steadily on the platform of the Heavenly Palace.

"Lord Heavenly God." Popo, tense, stood in front of God of Earth · Piccolo, showing his unwavering loyalty.

[It's simply... beyond imagination! There are actually people in this world whose Ki auras can be this powerful!]

God of Earth · Piccolo's heart was in turmoil.

Since becoming a god, this was the first and only time he had felt the aura of death.

He could only hope that the three outsiders in the spaceship had not come to invade Earth.

'Click! Click!'

The spaceship's hatch opened, connecting the internal and external spaces. Fresh Ki immediately filled the Spaceship, and Talot, Gine, and Selari, who had yet to emerge, took a deep breath.

For half a year, they had been confined in the cramped space of the Spaceship. If Talot and Selari were adults, their living space would have been even smaller.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power could make such a massive building float so high in the sky." Gine walked ahead, speaking as she jumped off the Spaceship.

"Finally, I can stretch my legs. I was about to go crazy." Selari followed, jumping down from the Spaceship.

The fresh environment of the Heavenly Palace made them feel like they had entered another world.

Last to disembark was Talot.

While admiring the scenery of the Heavenly Palace, he sighed a few times in his heart before focusing his attention on the distant Earth God Piccolo and Popo.

His combat power detector immediately went to work.

Earth God Piccolo: 220 combat points.

Popo: 300 combat points.

The numbers matched his predictions.

Just as he was about to say something, Selari noticed something and exclaimed, "Huh? This place is so strange, I feel so light and relaxed."

Hearing this, Gine was curious, and Talot, memories flooding back, immediately understood.

"Almost forgot to mention, the gravity on Planet Vegeta and Planet Aura is ten times that of Earth, so Earth feels much lighter to us." Standing on the Heavenly Palace, Talot moved around a bit and explained.

"Oh, that makes sense. I thought it was because I spent too much time in the Spaceship." Gine's expression showed a sudden realization.

"So, does that mean I'm stronger now?" Selari said excitedly.

She hadn't fully grasped the concept, but her statement wasn't wrong.

In a sense, she was indeed stronger on Earth.

"Actually, we don't feel the difference as much because our strength has improved, and we spent half a year in the Spaceship, so our bodies have already adapted to the optimal survival state there. If the gravity were ten times higher, we would notice the difference immediately," Talot added.

Gine nodded, and Selari nodded as well, though she seemed only half-understanding.

Then, Selari took the initiative to look at the distant Earth God Piccolo and Popo.

"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, are these Earth people? They look so strange, especially the dark-skinned one." Selari said.

Strange?

Of course, they were strange!

Not just Earth God Piccolo, but Popo didn't look like an Earth person at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he had always lived in the Heavenly Palace in the original story, who would accept him as an Earth person?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Talot's mind.

He couldn't say much about Popo, but it was different with Earth God Piccolo.

As a穿越者 (time traveler), he knew everything about the original story, but he couldn't openly show that he knew everything or had foresight.

Otherwise, how would he explain it to Gine and Selari?

However, he could pretend to know some things and bring them up.

For example, Earth God Piccolo's identity.

He could claim that he had studied some alien races and use this to explain the origins and information about the Namekians, thereby introducing the Dragon Balls!

To Earth!

The Dragon Balls were one of his goals!

Many things could only be achieved by summoning Shenron and making wishes.

[Indeed, many things only become clear when they actually happen or when you face them. I thought for so long about how to bring it up, but it's actually quite simple.] Organizing his thoughts, and with Gine also very curious, Talot began to speak to the two of them.
