Chapter 909: Peaceful times

“Congratulations, Xiaya. You have successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Divine Realm,” said Time King and Universe King, their words ringing in Xiaya’s ears. Xiaya stood up and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, Xiaya’s demeanor underwent a transformation from the inside out. With him at the center, a mysterious and ancient aura swept through, causing ripples. Sensing the waves emanating from Xiaya, both the Time King and Universe King watched calmly and smiled without saying a word.

“The fifth level of the Divine Realm, it feels really great!” Xiaya laughed lightly, sensing the power within him.

The dark golden energy within him was several times stronger than before. He felt like he could defeat his past self with just a flick of his finger. The disparity between the fourth and fifth level of the Divine Realm is so vast! The golden energy flowed through his veins, and every cell in his body was strengthened many times over.

“Majestic, domineering. What kind of energy is this?” Xiaya didn’t fully understand the dark golden energy within his body. What exactly was this energy that fused space-time, order, and miracle? And where could it take him? He recalled the words of the Time King and Universe King. Could it be that this dark golden energy was the key to unlocking a new path for himself in the future?

Keeping these questions to himself, Xiaya turned to look at Android 18 and the others.

“Xiaya, now that you have reached the fifth level of the Divine Realm, you can stay in the Time Realm and focus on your training. It’s important to quickly master the power of the fifth level. We have high hopes for you, so don’t slack off.” Time King said with a smile on her beautiful face, giving off a warm and gentle feeling like melting snow

“Then, I’ll trouble you.” Xiaya said solemnly, taking a deep breath.

The opportunity to train in the Time Realm was rare and valuable, but for Xiaya, who was now at the fifth level of the Divine Realm, it was only natural that he could enter the Time Realm, whether as a fellow earthling of Time King and others or a peak-level powerhouse.

Time King nodded and said to Android 18, “Lazuli, you can also stay here to train, and I’ll have Mavis guide you.”

“As for Xiaya’s two wives, let them go to the Angel Realm to train. That place is more suitable for them.”

Time King’s decision settled the matter. Xiaya was surprised by their arrangement for his wives. He knew that without a miracle, Xiling and the others would find it difficult to advance to higher levels. However, the Time King had now solved a major problem for Xiaya.

“Thank you,” Xiaya said gratefully.

Time King waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to worry about anything else. Just focus on your training.”

After speaking, Time King lightly tapped her slender fingers, sending the follow-up techniques of the God of Time into Xiaya’s mind. Xiaya trembled as a massive amount of information appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

Xiaya carefully read through the information, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Time King had given him a higher-level application of “Extinction.”

Compared to the vast and varied laws of time and space, the “Extinction” that Xiaya had previously used was too simple and crude. As he advanced to the fifth level of the Divine Realm, there were even more sophisticated applications of space-time ability.

The most basic application of the laws of space and time was “Extinction,” which involved adding a hollow, unreal existence to the river of time, using a dream-like illusory figure to replace the original lifeform and minimizing the fluctuations in the river of time.

A more advanced application of the laws of time and space was “Reverse,” which involved overturning the law of cause and effect and truly changing the future.

For example, if Xiaya were to use the “Reverse” ability to travel to the past and do something, the resulting actions would not create a new parallel universe due to the ability’s constraints but rather forcibly converged. However, the consequence of this action would be that everything that had already happened would be reversed at the source.

This was what was meant by changing the past to shape the future. But the cost of doing so was very high, as changing the past would mean altering the entire world’s cause and effect, and only a powerful being like the Time King could bear it.

If Xiaya could bear this cause and effect, it would not be impossible to go back in time and kill his potential enemies.

Of course, such abilities were ineffective against God of Time, who had already reached the fifth level of the Divine Realm.

………

In the days that followed, Xiaya stayed in the Time Realm, practicing the application of space-time ability in seclusion, while Android 18 steadily improved her strength under Mavis’s guidance. As for Xiling and Myers, they had already been taken away by Angel Realm’s envoy to train in Angel Realm.

Both Time Realm and Angel Realm had plenty of gods, and Android 18 and Xiling’s strength continued to grow. Sometimes, Xiaya would stroll with Majin Buu and others on the Time Realm continent, and his days passed peacefully.

Days turned into years, and four years quickly passed.

…………..

Universe 5, Milky Way System.

Earth.

On a clearing at the back of Mount Paozu, four years have passed since the 31st World Martial Arts Tournament. If this world also had the seven Black Star Dragon Balls, then it would be around the time when the Black Star Dragon Balls would be born.

But this world is not the Galactic World under the Dragon Realm, so there are no Black Star Dragon Balls.

One day, Goku finished training his granddaughter Pan and sent her off to play. He wore a light blue martial arts uniform, his aura restrained. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with silver-gray light, and his body moved involuntarily.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Fierce attacks caused waves of energy to surge forth, and the ground beneath Mount Paozu began to crack and soon it split apart like a deep canyon opening up.

Krillin watched in awe from a nearby boulder as he shook his head wryly. “Goku has really become stronger. The Zeno Tournament seven years ago really gave him a huge shock. But the power Goku is using now seems to be called Ultra Instinct? It’s really profound.”

Seven years have passed since the Zeno Tournament. Back then, Krillin was unable to witness the event firsthand due to his lack of strength. However, according to Goku and Gohan, who participated in the tournament, it was a fierce battle between the true experts of the Multiverse.

After witnessing that kind of battle, Goku began to train even harder after returning.

In addition, the collision of space-time fragments that happened five years ago made Goku and others realize their insignificance, and their unyielding will drove them to become even stronger.

“Goku, where did that kid, Goten, run off to again?”

“He has got a girlfriend, it seems her name is Valese. She’s coming to our house these days.” Goku stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his face with a wet towel.

Goku has a few children: Gohan is training on his own, Bulla has been taken to the God of Destruction’s Planet by Whis and only returns a few times a year, while his second son Goten stopped trying to get stronger after growing up, letting his Saiyan bloodline go to waste. However, unlike Vegeta, Goku doesn’t force his children to train and allows them to be more carefree at times.

Of course, that’s because Goku already has successors like Gohan, Bulla, and Pan. If he were in the same situation as Vegeta with only one child, he would probably be more anxious.
