Chapter 902: Tang Xing and Tang Xin

Chapter 902: Tang Xing and Tang Xin

Above the Time Realm continent, there is an illusory space-time forbidden zone.

This place is located at the highest point of the Time Realm dimension, filled with colorful rays of light. Perhaps it’s because the palace where the Time King resides is located here, under the suppression of Time King’s sacred aura, all laws become insignificant and even time loses its meaning here.

In the dreamlike colorful space, a green planet was quietly floating.

And on that planet, a vast expanse of mist and radiant clouds were swirling around. Within the haze, a magnificent palace with blue tiles and white walls emerged, adorned with intricate carvings and paintings. It stands there like a masterpiece of art, serene and timeless. In comparison to the White Cloud Palace of Angel Realm’s Universe King, Time King’s Palace is even more luxurious yet austere.

Only on the lintel of the palace, there was a huge plaque hanging, with only one word – “Time.”

When Xiaya and Android 18 entered this sacred space while following Season, they were both awed by the imposing and intricate appearance of the Time King’s Palace, especially the character “time”, which was vast, antiquated, profound, and had the power to captivate anyone who gazed upon it. Compared to the Time King’s other palace that appeared in the mortal world, this palace truly befitted the Time King’s esteemed status.

“Please follow me. Time King-sama is already waiting inside,” Season pointed to a path in front of the palace.

Following the direction indicated by Season, Xiaya and Android 18 walked slowly towards the front of the palace, eventually arriving at a towering gate. Surrounding the Time King’s Palace were 124 tiny water spheres, each no larger than a palm. Having previously seen the 12 water spheres outside of Zeno’s Palace, Xiaya knew that these 124 tiny water spheres held some significant importance.

The 12 water spheres outside of Zeno’s Palace represented the 12 universes that existed at the time. It was possible that the water spheres surrounding the Time King’s Palace, which numbered 124, represented 124 different worlds.

Of course, these were just Xiaya’s random thoughts. He didn’t know that his guess was already close to the truth.

“Creak!”

When they arrived outside the gate of the palace, the gate opened by itself, and a beautiful girl walked out from inside. When she saw Xiaya, her eyes lit up, and she walked over with a charming smile.

“Olysia, you’re here too?” Seeing the person who walked out, Xiaya was surprised that Olysia would appear here, but he immediately recalled that she was a disciple of the Great Heaven Official, which made sense. According to the God of Seasons, Great Heaven Official is a powerful god second only to the Time King, and her strength is not inferior to the Time King. Olysia has such a background, so it is not surprising that she has appeared in Time King’s Palace.

“Mr. Xiaya, it’s been a long time. Teacher and Time King-sama are already waiting inside.” Olysia warmly greeted Xiaya, then respectfully nodded to the God of Seasons and led them inside.

Android 18 frowned and followed Xiaya closely, staring at him fixedly for a while before finally asking, “Who is she? Do you know her?”

Xiaya nodded, “Yes, we cooperated last time when Spirit King’s Palace collided with Universe 5. She is the disciple of Great Heaven Official. Why are you asking?”

“Oh, nothing, just curious,” Android 18 replied softly, and then silently followed Xiaya.

They walked along the long corridor for a long time, the sound of their footsteps echoing in their ears.

After a while, Season pushed open the last door and smiled, “Time King-sama and the Great Heaven Official-sama are both inside. Please go in by yourselves.”

With that, she and Olysia stood on either side of the door, as they couldn’t just enter the Time King’s chambers at will without the orders of the Time King or the Great Heaven Official.

“Thank you!”

Thanking Season and Olysia, Xiaya and Android 18 walked in together.

Inside the palace, Time King was sitting on a throne with half-closed eyes, propping her chin up with one hand, and beside her throne, there was a slightly bigger seat where a man with black tousled hair sat proudly. He was the ruler of the Angel Realm, the Universe King. On the Universe King’s right side, there was an exquisite throne where the elegant Great Heaven Official sat with her emerald green hair cascading down like a curtain, her clear eyes shimmering like rippling lake water.

Seeing him approached, the Great Demon God Buu, donning a purple cloak, yawned with boredom and gave a friendly wink to Xiaya. To meet Xiaya and Android 18, Time King and Universe King rushed over from the Angel Realm and even the Great Heaven Official was present at the scene.

Xiaya looked up and saw the three gods sitting above, along with the Great Demon God Buu and his face registered surprise as he had not expected to see Universe King in Time King’s Palace.

This is Time King’s chamber, and it wasn’t surprising that Great Heaven Official was present. But the fact that Universe King was here as well made him wonder about the relationship between Time King and Universe King. What could be their relationship?

“Greetings, Time King-sama, Universe King-sama, Great Heaven Official-sama,” Xiaya said calmly, bowing slightly.

“Why is Majin Buu here too?” Android 18 looked curiously at Majin Buu, her azure blue eyes full of doubt.

“No need for formalities. There’s no one else here, and you also don’t have to address us as Time King or Universe King,” said Time King, her ethereal and pleasant voice ringing out. “My name is Tang Xing, and the one sitting next to me is my younger brother, Tang Xin. You’ve met Great Heaven Official many times before. Her real name is Mavis, and she’s from the Crescent Moon race. As for Buu, there’s no need for introductions.”

“So, Time King and Universe King are siblings, not lovers. No wonder they are so close.”

“Tang Xing, Tang Xin…” Xiaya stared with widened eyes and repeated the names of Tang Xing and Tang Xin, wondering if they were really surnamed “Tang”, and it was not just transliteration as he had previously thought.

Xiaya raised his head and caught the look on Tang Xing’s face, which had a slightly ambiguous smile.

Xiaya shuddered as a thought struck him like lightning. Could it be that…Time King and Universe King were not from this world, and the strange-looking Great Demon God Buu as well? Sweat dripped down his face, and he dared not continue with that thought.

Seeing Xiaya’s face turning pale and green, Tang Xing amusingly bit her lips and said in a relaxed manner, “It seems that you have already figured out our origins, Xiaya from Earth.”

With a loud boom, a lightning bolt struck his mind, causing Xiaya to tremble all over.

They actually know about his origins!

“Could it be that you are also…” Xiaya stared at them with wide eyes, considering a possibility  that he didn’t dare to believe.

“That’s right, we are!”

Tang Xing stood up from the throne, walked towards Xiaya and Android 18, stopped in front of Android 18, and reached out to flick her delicate face. “So, your name is Lazuli, it’s a nice name. Do you plan to stay by Xiaya’s side forever??”

Android 18 furrowed her brows and said, “Tang Xing-sama!”

Tang Xing chuckled, her ambiguous gaze flickering between Android 18 and Xiaya for a moment.

Xiaya was slightly taken aback but quickly asked, “Time King-sama, it seems that you and Universe King are particularly concerned about Lazuli.” He had been wanting to ask for a while now. Time King and Universe King showed a lot of special care towards Android 18, which even ordinary people could notice. There had to be a reason behind it!

“Just call me Tang Xing. Speaking of which, I am also Android 18, but from another world, of course,” Tang Xing chuckled lightly, revealing an incredible piece of information.

“What does that mean?” Xiaya was puzzled. How could Time King be Android 18? Although they shared similar physical features, their appearances were completely different, and even their temperaments were not the same.

At this moment, Universe King stood up and said, “Tang Xing can indeed be considered Android 18, but she is not a pure Android 18. When we were in another Dragon Ball world, we also used the Potara Earrings, which are another world’s Super Android 17 and Super Android 18.”

“What do you mean by another world?” Xiaya was starting to get confused, while the nearby Android 18 was already feeling bewildered.
