As soon as he returned to the spaceship, numerous subordinates surrounded him, showering him with flattery, seemingly oblivious to Frieza's disheveled state.
Frieza's previously cold expression softened considerably as a result.
Neither Saiyans nor Earthlings have the means to survive in the universe. In that case, wouldn't it be that all I need to do is condense an energy ball in the universe and throw it at them, and they would have no way to stop me?
No, if that guy isn't dead, what if he turns around and uses me...?
"Inform my father and tell him to come here. Tell him that a Super Saiyan has been discovered here."
"Frieza gave the order."
Frieza would never admit that he was defeated by an ordinary person. Fortunately, Goku is a Saiyan, and his strength is so great that he completely surpasses that of an ordinary Saiyan. It would be entirely plausible to call him a legendary Super Saiyan.
When Frieza was released, his father told him that he must kill all the Saiyans he encountered, because the legendary Super Saiyan was once the mortal enemy of their Ice Clan and almost wiped them out.
Even though Frieza acted as if he didn't care about Super Saiyans, he actually harbored resentment deep down, which is why he destroyed Planet Vegeta. Otherwise, if he had just shown a certain level of power, the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta wouldn't have dared to rebel.
Just as Frieza was preparing to seek outside help, the explosions on Earth slowly ceased.
Even though the explosion occurred in the air, it still caused great damage to the Earth. The Earth's ecological environment was almost completely destroyed. Humans were not greatly harmed, but other creatures suffered a devastating disaster.
"If I'm not here, this planet is truly doomed."
Beside Yi Shuihan was Sun Wukong, who was covered in blood and in a state of unconsciousness and blood loss. Even with his current strong physique, Sun Wukong would die if no one took care of him.
Senzu Beans, the famous healing artifacts in Dragon Ball, were not brought by Goku because the existence of the Yi Shui Han had not yet been discovered.
A wisp of immortal energy entered Sun Wukong's body, and his injuries healed at a visible speed, and he quickly regained consciousness.
"Oh, it's Grandmaster Grandpa."
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Yi Shuihan's lips twitched slightly.
"I've told you countless times, just call me Brother Yi."
"Understood, Grandmaster."
Suppressing the urge to slap him, Yi Shuihan vanished from Sun Wukong's sight.
Returning to the summit of Zhenwu Mountain, Yi Shuihan waved his hand in the direction of Frieza, and instantly a large hand made entirely of immortal energy appeared in the void.
This hand is so large that it blots out the sky and can be seen by people all over the earth.
"It's the Martial Ancestor! The Martial Ancestor has finally made his move."
In the universe,
"what is that?"
"Help!"
A commotion annoyed Frieza. He was about to ask what was going on when he turned around and witnessed the most unforgettable moment of his life.
A giant hand, large enough to hold the Earth, reached out and grabbed him.
There was no chance of escape. Frieza watched helplessly as his fleet was easily destroyed by that giant hand, and everything that stood in its way became nothingness.
"I really shouldn't have come to Earth."
That was Frieza's last thought after he touched that irresistible power.
A ray of sunlight shines on the earth, the darkness recedes, and light reappears on the earth.
"That terrifying guy was dealt with so easily, Lord Martial Ancestor is too amazing."
Countless people stared in shock at the sky. Without comparison, there is no harm. An enemy that the entire Earth could not defeat, Yi Shuihan easily annihilated. The gap was completely unimaginable.
"The Martial Ancestor has decreed that we must find the Seven Dragon Balls and summon Shenron. Shenron's power can restore the Earth and also bring the dead back to life."
The resentment caused by the death of his relatives and friends due to the Martial Ancestor's failure to act in advance dissipated because of the Dragon Ball. In particular, after the news came from Zhenwu Mountain that Yi Shuihan did not act in order to train everyone, everyone had even more faith in Yi Shuihan.
The Earth's dragon was created by the gods. His power was greatly enhanced by Shinmu, and he reforged the Dragon Balls. Therefore, the Earth's Dragon Balls also have three wishes.
There was no need to wait until the following year; just a few days later, the Earth returned to the state it was in before Frieza's arrival.
The power of the Dragon Balls is known to the people of Earth, and many people with evil intentions want to use the Dragon Balls to achieve their own goals. However, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the Dragon Balls were eventually sent to Mount Shinbu. It is destined to be extremely difficult to use the Dragon Balls to cause trouble.
Time continued to turn, and another year passed. Frieza's father and brother came to Earth together, but this time Yi Shuihan didn't even need to lift a finger; the True Martial Artists on Earth killed them directly.
Logically speaking, the combat power of Earthlings shouldn't increase so quickly in just one year. However, a genius has emerged among the Earth's true warriors, who has created a method to transfer combat power, concentrating the combat power of hundreds of people into one person. The price is that the person who uses that super combat power will die, and there is also a time limit. However, with the existence of the Dragon Balls, this is not a problem.
Chapter 985, Year 43 of the Zhenwu Calendar
The Zhenwu Calendar is the currently recognized time calendar in the entire Seventh Universe. Year 0 of the Zhenwu Calendar is the year that Yi Shuihan appeared on Earth and opened the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall.
It is now the 43rd year of the Zhenwu calendar. Earth has become the center of the entire Seventh Universe, a place that all life in the Seventh Universe yearns for. This is because on Earth, one can definitely obtain the qualification for the Ancient World game, and it is also the ancestral home of Zhenwu. Zhenwu Mountain is located on Earth.
Thirty-three years of dramatic changes have rendered the Earth, except for Zhenwu Mountain, completely different from its former appearance; it is fair to say that there is no resemblance to the past at all.
Earth has not been transformed by technology; on the contrary, it is full of pristine natural environments, with very few cities.
There are fewer than a million people living on Earth now, not because everyone has died, but because they all live on other colony planets.
Humans have long since ventured beyond Earth and carved out a vast living space in the boundless universe. There are now over a hundred planets belonging to humans, but this is only because the human population is relatively small and cannot accommodate all the planets.
With so many planets, the Earth government began an immigration policy. On Earth you are just an ordinary person, but on another planet you are a lord-like figure. Even if it means leaving your homeland, most people are willing to do so.
After the migration, only tens of millions of people remained on Earth. Finally, led by Zhenwu Mountain, most of the weaker people were simply driven out of Earth, and Earth was established as a protected area for humankind.
Generally, Earthlings born on other planets have one opportunity to return to Earth for a month when they turn 7 years old, after which they must leave. This one-month opportunity is mainly to allow them to obtain the qualification to play games on Earth.
To become a permanent resident of Earth, one must either join Zhenwu Mountain and become its disciple, or be an Earthling whose combat power exceeds ten million without any in-game boosts.
The Dragon Ball storyline ended completely in recent years. Majin Buu was eventually released and defeated by Goku. This time, Goku defeated Majin Buu much more easily. When Majin Buu was born, Goku had already broken through to the 5th level of the Seven-Nine Arcane Arts, and his combat power completely surpassed Buu's. In addition, with the power of True Martial, he easily defeated Buu.
What has Yi Shuihan been doing all these years?
He went into seclusion. That's right, he went into seclusion. After Frieza's father came to Earth, Yi Shuihan suddenly had an epiphany and immediately began seclusion at Zhenwu Mountain. He originally thought that this seclusion would probably only last a few days or at most a few months, but he never expected that this seclusion would last for decades.
Originally, Yi Shuihan stayed in the world of Dragon Ball to see how the story would develop. Although he had changed it beyond recognition, who knew he would suddenly have some insights?
The insights gained from this seclusion directly elevated Yi Shuihan's cultivation level to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He only needs to continue using his magical power to easily break through.
Generally speaking, such a breakthrough would take at least tens of thousands of years for others, but he achieved this level in just a few decades, so naturally he made a fortune.
"There are gains and losses, but overall, we gained more."
Standing atop Zhenwu Mountain, Yi Shuihan silently reflected on his gains.
Just then, a man and a woman walked up to the top of the mountain. The woman was dressed in white, with skin as smooth as jade and a good figure. She was full of fairy-like beauty, while the man appeared somewhat domineering. Every move he made was quite imposing, but at this moment his expression was somewhat distressed.
"Junior sister, don't you know how I feel? Why won't you say yes? I know you don't like me, but it's impossible for you and Teacher to be together."
"Is that all you wanted to say? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. I have other things to take care of."
The two stood just a meter away from Yi Shuihan, yet they seemed to completely ignore him.
"Qiu Ning and A Liang, what the heck is this? A Liang likes Qiu Ning?"
Yi Shuihan's expression turned somewhat strange; he had already gleaned a considerable amount of useful information from their conversation.
Yi Shuihan could accept that Qiu Ning liked him, since he knew about it before he went into seclusion. However, at that time he thought that time would dilute the feelings, but now it seems that this method is not working.
Ah Liang's feelings for Qiu Ning were something he truly hadn't expected. He hadn't noticed any signs of this before, and it was clear that this had happened after Yi Shuihan went into seclusion.
"However, Ah Liang's feelings are probably unrequited, as for Qiu Ning..."
For a moment, Yi Shuihan also had a headache. He didn't know how to handle his relationship with Qiu Ning. He had always regarded Qiu Ning as his disciple. Even though he felt secretly pleased when he later learned that Qiu Ning liked him, he never considered taking her in as a disciple.
Forget it, I'll not meet with them for now. It would be so awkward if they knew I was listening to them.
Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan quietly watched the two of them, treating it as a live romance drama.
Faced with Qiu Ning's indifference, a hint of sadness flashed in A Liang's eyes. In fact, he had been keeping his feelings for Qiu Ning to himself for a long time and originally planned to never say it out loud. However, he had drunk too much that time and revealed his true feelings. After that, he went with the flow and began to pursue Qiu Ning.
Unfortunately, despite pursuing Qiu Ning for thirty years, A Liang still failed to win her heart, which saddened him greatly.
Looking at the dejected A-Liang, Qiu Ning felt a pang of pity. In fact, she knew how good A-Liang was to her, and she knew that if she followed A-Liang, she would never suffer any grievances. But she was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to ask Yi Shuihan how he felt about her.
"If my master were to say he doesn't like me, perhaps I could let it go!"
Time has indeed changed many things. At least now, Qiu Ning's feelings for Yi Shuihan have changed. Rather than liking or loving, it's more like an obsession.
"Hmm, it seems like things might be turning around!"
Yi Shuihan noticed their expressions, and with a slight thought, he used a little trick.
After a moment, Yi Shuihan realized that Qiu Ning's feelings for him had changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, intending to let A Liang and Qiu Ning be together.
"I knew I didn't want to, but why do I feel a little regretful now?"
Chapter 986, Fulfillment and Departure
By clearing his mind of emotions, Yi Shuihan used Time Freeze to freeze A Liang alone, allowing Qiu Ning to discover him.
"Master!"
Upon first seeing Yi Shuihan, Qiu Ning was taken aback, then exclaimed in delight.
"Did you see everything just now?"
Thinking of something, Qiu Ning's expression became somewhat awkward. What surprised even herself was that she wasn't too afraid, as if being discovered by Yi Shuihan wasn't such a big deal.
"Qiu Ning, do you really think your feelings for me are love?"
Yi Shuihan asked with a serious expression.
"probably!"
Even Qiu Ning herself felt unsure of herself when she said this. Before meeting Yi Shuihan, if someone asked her this question, she could say with certainty that she loved Yi Shuihan. But when she was actually in front of Yi Shuihan, she hesitated.
For some reason, she subconsciously looked at Ah Liang, and when she saw that Ah Liang was still in the same position and did not make any movement, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, actually I like you too. I'll announce it to the world later, and I'll marry you."
As Yi Shuihan spoke, he opened his arms and was about to embrace Qiu Ning.
Qiu Ning stared blankly at Yi Shuihan. She should have felt happy, but she didn't feel that way at all.
Suddenly, Qiu Ning pushed Yi Shuihan away with both hands.
"I... am not..."
Looking at her own hands, Qiu Ning was completely bewildered.
"See your own heart clearly, and think carefully back to what you were thinking just now."
Yi Shuihan spoke in a calm tone, his voice carrying a guiding force.
Qiu Ning remained silent for a long time, her eyes constantly changing, until finally she understood.
“I’m sorry, Master. Actually, what I felt for you was just a simple attachment and admiration. I confused it with love. The person I love is actually him.”
"Have you figured it out?"
"Okay, I understand."
Qiu Ning looked at Yi Shuihan with some fear, afraid that Yi Shuihan would get angry because of this.
"Love is a matter between two people. Since what you feel for me is not love, I cannot force you to be with me."
Yi Shuihan looked regretful, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief; things were progressing much as he had expected.
"Teacher, what are you doing here? Have you finished your seclusion?"
Ah Liang looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise.
"Yes! I've finished my seclusion, but I'm about to leave Earth for a very far away place. So, Ah Liang, I'm giving you a mission."
"Teacher please give me your instructions."
"I'm entrusting Qiu Ning to your care from now on. You must treat her well, or I won't let you off the hook."
"what!?"
Ah Liang stared in astonishment at Yi Shuihan, and seeing the encouraging look in Yi Shuihan's eyes, a feeling of happiness welled up in his heart.
Qiu Ning blushed as well, finally realizing her true feelings. She no longer resisted A Liang and tacitly accepted Yi Shuihan's arrangement.
"is teacher."
Ah Liang shouted loudly, as if afraid that Qiu Ning next to him wouldn't hear him.
"Then I won't disturb you two any longer."
As he spoke, Yi Shuihan disappeared from their sight.
Of course, Yi Shuihan hadn't left yet; he had simply made himself disappear from A Liang and Qiu Ning's sight.
