Chapter 721: The Response of Online Friends

Rebuilding naturally progresses quickly. With experience in all realms, there's no need to adapt to new stages or precisely control energy; sufficient energy alone allows for rocket-like rapid development.

However, if Hailan Winter chooses to break through to godhood now, he would likely be discovered due to the massive energy requirements, which are hard to conceal.

Over the years, Frieza, the King of Cybertron, and others have already reached the realm of High Gods, although they still have no concept of the Ninth-Tier path. Their progress is comparable to that of the Three Pillar Gods era. It also took four or five hundred years for civilization to emerge from nothing and produce powerful deities like the Daughter of Prosperity and the Great Joy Emperor. After all, this race's civilization was built on worldline deduction, putting them on a fast track. Moreover, the minor stages of godhood are more about energy control and replenishment.

How many people are there in the current Small Universe era? Over a hundred billion. This astonishing number has not even reached its peak yet. This is a super-large sandbox, a small universe comparable to China's territory. With more people comes more energy, naturally accelerating progress. That's why Xu Zhi felt his opportunity to break through to godhood would lie in this new land.

"So, what are your plans?" Xu Zhi asked with a smile.

"I've joined the Universal Special Forces, traveling to various planets, carrying out missions, and secretly gathering energy," Hailan Winter replied. He chuckled, "I'll secretly break through to godhood, then continue to hide. As long as I don't directly encounter those other gods, my true nature won't be discovered."

Xu Zhi was speechless. The people in the spiritual universe truly intended to fully immerse themselves in this world, living a complete life. However, given these circumstances, their rise would inevitably invite suppression from major forces. It remained to be seen how long they could stay hidden.

"Good luck," Xu Zhi said with a smile, standing up to leave.

Suddenly, Hailan Winter, still behind him, chuckled, "As someone born on a slave planet, we need a formal name once we become official cosmic warriors. Could the Super Ancient God please give me a name symbolizing good fortune, ensuring a smooth journey in my future cosmic endeavors?"

"Bardock."

Ten years passed. The pixel creatures across the entire Pixel Planet grew increasingly powerful. In particular, many formidable pixel warriors emerged from parallel universes, gaining renown throughout the cosmic era.

Another ten years passed. Frieza and the King of Cybertron ascended to the peak of High Godhood, encountering new boundary barriers. They engaged in an intense race, beginning to attempt to step onto the Ninth-Tier path. However, they had no prior knowledge of this realm; they were simply trying to navigate it.

Gradually, the Lamb people's numbers expanded significantly, making them renowned cosmic slaves, traded by traffickers. Digimon also grew popular among cosmic powerhouses, with many affluent strong beings enjoying keeping several Digimon as pets. The era fully entered a period of steady maturity. During this era, a terrifying mutation occurred once more: Cell rose again, reappearing as a High God, alerting the other two major civilizations.

Over twenty more years passed. A great battle erupted. Hailan Winter was ultimately discovered. As a cosmic warrior named Bardock in this life, he was merely a Mid God and was forced to flee. A single realm difference was, after all, too vast. Furthermore, pixel creatures possessed no racial talents. Compared to Frieza, who had three transformation stages, Bardock couldn't be his opponent even within the same realm. Even at the same level, he would have been utterly defeated! Even Hailan Winter had to admit that Frieza's talent was extraordinarily powerful.

"I'll be back. I've found a way to break through to Super Sayama-jin," Bardock declared, leaving a final message. "At that time, I will awaken the great advantage of our race!"

Pixel Planet. Inside a spaceship, Frieza gently extended a finger, and endless waves of light swirled around his hand. "You have successfully enraged me, warriors of this planet! Let this planet feel the cold!"

The entire Pixel Planet was instantly struck by a massive shockwave. Like an earthquake and tsunami, all living beings were instantly covered by an inexplicable freezing radiation, causing vast numbers of pixel warriors to perish.

"This is your lesson," Frieza said, turning and leaving.

Billions of pixel lives perished. However, long before, many pixel beings had secretly relocated, infiltrating various planets and even forming a mysterious organization that spread among the populace. The legend of the Super Sayama-jin grew increasingly prominent, and folk tales became stranger and stranger.

Online, discussions still revolved around the terrifying images of Emperor Qi's battle.

"Huh? Huh? Half a day has passed, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty years."

"Emperor Qi on the other side is up to something, forming a Ministry of Heavenly Works and constantly modifying his Pangu body, as if he's transforming it."

"On the lava lands, the Three Pillar Gods are also practicing martial arts; Arcane Knights and Arcane Swordsmen are being dispatched!"

Everyone was uneasy. Both sides immediately prepared for war. The "super dads" on both sides were gearing up for the next major confrontation, as the Ninth Tier was terrifying; this would be a battle that determined destiny.

"As for the Small Universe era?" Some shook their heads, thinking it wouldn't fare well. In the clash of three forces, it should be the weakest. Although it was the land granted to Caroline by the Super Ancient God, there's no denying this land held infinite potential, greater than the other two transcendent civilizations. But how long had Caroline been in that world? She couldn't keep up with these two established powers! The civilization's foundation was extremely insufficient. While it had High Gods, it didn't have a single deity who had stepped onto the Ninth-Tier path—a stark difference.

"However, recently, news reports from the Small Universe have been buzzing about things like Frieza, Cell, and the legend of the Super Sayama-jin."

"Super what-the-heck Sayama-jin? It's Saiyan! Can't we type without dialect? I could even say 'Chao Ji Sai Ya Yin'! (Amused)"

"No, it's Super Sayama-jin (serious face.jpg)."

Everyone felt a pang of confusion. Could it be the Pixel Planet? What was going on now?

Bai Xiaojun: "Exactly, it's Super Sayama-jin. After all, with Frieza, Cell, and Dragon Ball, could Saiyans be far behind? We thought for a long time but couldn't find them, and then suddenly realized that in parallel universes, combat races might not be entirely identical. It's very possible that our planet has: Super Sayama-jin! A homophone! So, to align with ancient history, we left behind the legend of cosmic warriors. Although we don't know the breakthrough method, since it's pixelated [mosaic], we left a metaphor for breakthrough: 'If the heart is code-free [unpixelated], it will naturally be high-definition!'"

*Gasp!!* Everyone felt a chill surge through them. Thousands of bewildered thoughts raced through their minds. What an odd line of reasoning! Super Sayama-jin, for crying out loud! They are just pixel creatures; did you really think they were a combat race with tails? And you actually treated them as mosaics, teaching and handling them in a mosaic-like manner? Does that mean they need to be decoded? Un-pixelated?

Bai Xiaojun: "But on a more serious note, something terrifying has happened. The pixel creatures have formed a secret organization. One of our Digimon owners is a member of this organization and has gathered a lot of intelligence. It seems they've really found a way to transform into Super Sayama-jin!"

"What the f***?"

"Holy s***!"

Everyone was stunned. Super Sayama-jin? They actually found this? Could it be that it truly aligns with historical development and they really are Saiyans? Just with a slightly different appearance in this universe? Many were bewildered but immediately shook their heads. This was completely unrealistic. What are Super Saiyans? Their worldview and settings are incredible! Each transformation is terrifying; from normal state to Super Saiyan 1 is a fifty-fold increase! Is that even possible? This isn't a burst combat technique like a 'fifty-fold punch'; it's a complete fifty-fold increase in your realm. A fifty-fold increase for a High God's realm? Wouldn't that shatter the Ninth-Tier ceiling directly? Many thought it impossible. "This isn't realistic at all, okay?"

Bai Xiaojun: "And what's more, the leader of that resistance group is named Bardock."

Everyone fell completely silent. "This is a coincidence. It must be a coincidence."

Bai Xiaojun continued: "According to internal sources, they've already started attempting transformations, but they quickly revert; the transformed state is unstable. It's said that a Super Sayama-jin's combat power, once transformed, can reach the Ninth Tier. Furthermore, they've also introduced a brand new type of scouter."

Screenshot.Screenshot.

It was a black-framed scouter.

Bai Xiaojun said: "They define one Ninth-Tier cell as 'combat power 1.' According to their calculations, their Super Sayama-jin 1 can reach 1,080,000 combat power! They're also theorizing about the legendary Super Sayama-jin 2, whose combat power could reach 10,800,000... A perfect Ninth Tier is 100 trillion combat power!"

This... Everyone's minds went completely blank. Such exaggerated power boosts, truly a Dragon Ball-like path. What kind of bizarre path is this? This isn't a traditional realm at all, is it? Where did the Ninth-Tier path go? Where did the realm thresholds go? At that moment, everyone felt goosebumps erupt. It really was Super Saiyan! Those "silly netizens" had actually gotten it right this time, unexpectedly! This was truly explosive. This small universe was about to cause a huge stir. Perhaps a "super dad" had appeared? Were they truly going to turn the tables on the Three Pillar Gods and Emperor Qi, making them beg for mercy?

"So, this is how it aligns with history."

"Super Sayama-jin, so that's it. History really didn't deceive us."

"With Bardock, it's confirmed."

The group of netizens was both shocked and delighted. It couldn't be such a coincidence; this was definitely Super Saiyan.

"I get it! Dragon Ball is indeed pixelated [mosaic]!"

"Think about it, what era was it when Dragon Ball was serialized? It was 1984. In that era, that pixel resolution, wasn't that just mosaic?"

As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly understood, realizing such information had been hidden all along.

"Perhaps this is destiny." Xu Zhi quietly watched the internet, appearing unusually calm. Hailan Winter and others imagined them to be formidable, and they, in turn, imagined Hailan Winter to be formidable...

Bai Xiaojun: "We are time-travelers who know history. Who doesn't know now that Bardock is the protagonist of this era? That Super Sayama-jin will inevitably rise? So we directly approached them and extended goodwill."

Immediately, everyone expressed admiration. They felt it was a good move. It's terrifying. That kind of combat power transformation, instantly reaching the Ninth Tier—who could withstand it? The Dragon Ball system is practically a cheat code.

Bai Xiaojun said: "We contacted Bardock through some special channels, and they were very interested in us, even asking us for doujinshi."

At this moment, everyone was stunned. So, Bardock, a serious, hot-blooded battle maniac, is one of us? You never know a person by their appearance.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"

Bai Xiaojun: "Oh, to show goodwill to such like-minded allies, I specifically looked for a variety and plan to give him Android 18 doujinshi. I wonder how he'll react to my gift. I'm really looking forward to it."
