The Strongest Legend of Dragon Ball Chapter 933: Mythical Path
Previously on The Strongest Legend of Dragon Ball...
“Supreme God?” Universe King’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing the self-proclaimed title.
He then shook his head, a quiet murmur escaping his lips, “The title ‘Supreme God’ isn’t comparable to the Supreme Kai found in the mortal realms of the Multiverse. Those Kais are deities of their respective regions, divine beings appointed to the role of ‘managing the mortal world’ under the overarching laws of the Multiverse. In essence, they function more like regional administrators rather than true gods, holding a relatively low-ranking divine position.”
In contrast, the Supreme Kai, when placed beside the more common Kai, has genuinely ascended to the stature of a “god,” qualifying as a true divine entity alongside the Gods of Destruction.
However, the “Supreme God” that Xiaya referred to was something entirely different. Universe King had personally witnessed the spectacle of Xiaya conjuring a new world into existence, and thus understood that this “Supreme God” was a higher-tier deity of a world, one who commanded dominion over the vast expanse of the universe itself!
“Indeed, Supreme God! The God of the World!” Xiaya declared with evident delight.
“World God?” The Time King and the Great Heaven Official exchanged a look, their luminous eyes wide with astonishment.
“World God?” This time, it was Xiaya’s turn to be taken aback. He pondered for a moment before announcing with a swell of pride, “Haha, ‘World God’ has a better ring to it! It sounds far more imposing than Supreme God. From this moment forth, I shall be known as the World God!”
“You are truly… casual about these things…” Universe King commented, a speechless expression on his face as he observed Xiaya so readily altering his own title.
Yet, the designation was undeniably grand, instantly eclipsing his own title of Universe King.
The term “World God” could be interpreted variously, perhaps as “God of the Entire World” or even “Eternal Supreme God,” depending on one’s perspective.
Regardless, Universe King paid little heed to these titular subtleties at present. With Xiaya’s successful ascension to the Divine King Realm, the fourth law had reached its completion, fulfilling the very conditions they had previously deduced for their departure.
The prospect of soon being able to depart this realm stirred profound emotions even within the ordinarily composed Universe King.
“If you wish to be called ‘World God,’ then so be it,” Universe King and the others offered no objection.
Truth be told, the title of World God was remarkably fitting for Xiaya.
After all, Xiaya’s advancement to the Divine King Realm was intrinsically linked to the Power of the World, a force derived from the confluence of space-time, order, and miracle. In its essence, it transcended even the power of space-time itself. This was the genuine power utilized in the construction and sustained operation of a world. In fact, the Power of the World alone was sufficient to ensure the stability of the entire Dragon Ball World.
At this juncture, Universe King couldn't help but ponder whether fate hadn't merely set the condition of the four paths ascending to the Divine King Realm for their departure, but was perhaps instead awaiting a divine being of immense power, one like Xiaya who commanded the “Power of the World,” to emerge and traverse the fourth path.
What if the powerful god who walked the fourth path hadn't been Xiaya? Or what if Xiaya had failed to master the Power of the World and ascend to the Upper God level? Would they still have been unable to leave the Dragon Ball World then?
“Perhaps that is indeed the case!” Universe King mused silently.
Gazing at Xiaya once more, Universe King experienced a fresh realization, a sigh escaping him as he felt a complex mix of emotions. “The new generation truly surpasses the old.”
It could be stated without exaggeration that Xiaya was the most exceptional among all the Upper Gods. With his current level of power, even the former strongest, Universe King, would be no match for him in a serious confrontation.
“Xiaya, did you happen to receive any transmissions or information during your breakthrough just now?” the Time King inquired, his expression grave.
Upon hearing the Time King’s question, Xiaya closed his eyes momentarily, searching his recent memories before responding, “Yes, I did.”
“Was it related to the Infinite Super-Dimensional Space?”
“Precisely!” Xiaya confirmed with a nod. Moments ago, as he recalled the genesis of the universe, an inexplicable surge of information had indeed flooded his mind. Concurrently, an image of a golden-haired girl, possessing an elfin appearance, became imprinted in his memory.
Xiaya’s demeanor grew serious as he recollected the mysterious divine being that the Time King and the others had previously spoken of. This golden-haired girl might very well be the “He” they had alluded to! [* This is a third-person pronoun for a divine being.]
“Then, do you now possess knowledge of how to depart this world?” the Time King asked, his voice brimming with anticipation.
Universe King and the Dragon God also fixed their gazes upon Xiaya, their expressions equally intense.
Xiaya nodded affirmatively, “Yes, I am now aware. Incidentally, ‘He’ left a message specifically for you all.”
“A message for us?” The Time King and Universe King exchanged a surprised glance, yet they dared not treat the matter of ‘He’ lightly.
“What was the message?”
Xiaya's expression shifted to one of peculiarity as he chose his words carefully, stating, "She identified herself as Mavis, the origin point of all Illusory Realms. Now that you have entered her Domain, you shall fall under her authority from this moment forward..." [*Note: This Mavis is distinct from the name used in Great Heaven Official.]
Xiaya continued relaying the message that had been left by 'He'.
The reason for her action in sending Time King and the others back into the Infinite Super-Dimensional Space was twofold: not only to avert disruptions within the Realm of Reality, but also to provide Time King and his companions an opportunity to cultivate sufficient strength, as she intended to nurture them. However, who could have foreseen that upon entering the 1st era of this world, Time King and the others would inadvertently merge with the era's inherent powers of space-time and order.
These powers of Space-time and Order serve as the very bedrock of a world. For typical cultivators, obtaining both of these powers would represent a monumental opportunity.
Yet, this was not the case for Time King and his group. Their initial venture into this world was solely for the purpose of training, with the inherent possibility of departing. However, due to their fusion with the power of space-time and the power of order, while their strength escalated rapidly, they became intrinsically linked to this world, akin to the 'Dao of Fusion.' Any minor alteration could cascade into significant consequences for everything else, effectively confining them to the Dragon Ball World.
It was as though they were ensnared within a gilded cage. Despite being bestowed with an abundance of "treasures," the price for such gifts was their continued confinement within this cage for a specified duration, awaiting the emergence of an opportunity to shatter their bonds!
Perhaps even 'He' might not have anticipated this turn of events. Nevertheless, for 'Him,' this was hardly an insurmountable issue. Countless "innovations" emerge from the crucible of trial and error; thus, destiny's tapestry was rewoven, leading to Xiaya's transmigration.
Upon concluding Xiaya's explanation, Time King and Universe King lapsed into silence.
After all these protracted years, their inability to depart from this Dragon Ball World stemmed directly from their own impetuous actions in the past.
"How utterly ironic," Universe King remarked, a wry smile gracing his lips as he shook his head.
"Mavis, the controller of all Illusory Realms' origin. That name... it sounds familiar," Time King mused aloud. Lost in the vast expanse of time, she struggled to recall the precise context in which she had previously encountered such a name.
"Mavis, quite a well-known name, indeed," Xiaya thought to himself.
This name echoed a character from some form of anime or manga. The very first moment he heard it, the coincidence struck him as almost unbelievable.
"Infinite Super-Dimensional Space, truly! I am eagerly anticipating it," proclaimed Dragon God Zalama. While he couldn't fully grasp the nuances of the conversation between Xiaya and the others, his anticipation for the Infinite Super-Dimensional Space was palpable.
Perhaps owing to his status as a non-transmigrator, Zalama had not garnered significant attention from 'Him.' Even upon his breakthrough to the Divine King Realm, no direct communication from 'Him' had been received. All knowledge pertaining to the Infinite Super-Dimensional Space and the existence of 'Him' had been gleaned secondhand from Time King and Universe King. He harbored a profound desire to explore the boundless expanse beyond their current reality.
"Xiaya, when shall we venture into the Infinite Super-Dimensional Space?" Great Heaven Official inquired calmly.
"Let us hold on a bit longer, until my world achieves greater stability," Xiaya responded. His world remained in its nascent stages, with numerous fundamental laws yet to be codified. Once the tumultuous chaotic energy within subsided, it would evolve into a realm even more steadfast than the Angel Realm.
"We have already spent countless years here. A few more won't make a significant difference," Time King, Universe King, and the others concurred. Xiaya's world played a pivotal role in the overall stability of their existence. Their departure was contingent upon the complete stabilization of the Dragon Ball World. Time held little consequence for them; an extended wait of a few additional years posed no impediment.
"On an unrelated note, to commemorate your successful transcendence, why not orchestrate a Tournament of Dimensions in your honor? A contest that defies the very fabric of time and space," Universe King proposed with a smile.
"A Tournament that transcends time and space?" Xiaya's eyes gleamed with sudden interest.
Time King and Great Heaven Official also displayed expressions of intrigued curiosity.
"A martial arts tournament? That sounds absolutely splendid!" Dragon God Zalama enthusiastically agreed. The Dragon Realm's flourishing martial arts culture was inextricably linked to Dragon God's own profound admiration for the art of combat.
"This would be truly magnificent! We can each recruit participants and convene in my newly established world. It must be an unparalleled martial arts grand tournament, bringing together elite fighters from every realm!"
"Invitations can be extended to the formidable experts from the Angel Realm, Time Realm, and Dragon Realm. We can also summon the supreme combatants, Gods of Destruction, and Supreme Kais from across the vast Multiverse, even the mightiest from the Demon Realm. And, naturally, the young Zeno should also grace us with his presence..."
The Time King's piercing blue eyes subtly narrowed as a proposal was put forth.
“Little Zeno? Zeno?” Xiaya’s lips twisted into a smile. The dread Zeno once harbored for the Time King, akin to facing a ferocious tigress, struck him as quite amusing now, yet he understood it completely. As a being transcending the very fabric of the Multiverse, Zeno's pronouncements and decrees held no sway over the Time King. In her presence, wasn't Zeno merely like an ordinary child?
Indeed, unruly and mischievous children ought to be chastised!
“The Tournament of Dimensions is a concept the Time King and I have contemplated for ages, though it never came to fruition,” Universe King explained with a smile. He offered a nod to the Time King and the Great Heaven Official before turning his gaze to Xiaya. “However, Xiaya, your world is newly established and not yet ready for fluctuations of such magnitude in energy. Might I suggest we host the tournament within the Angel Realm? We can designate a separate realm above the Angel Realm continent for this purpose.”
“Certainly, my Dragon Realm shall participate.”
“As will the Time Realm.”
“If that is the case, shall we entrust the Great Heaven Official with the role of referee and organizer for this tournament?” the Time King suggested with a smile.
“Agreed!”
“Certainly!”
“No problems here!”
“Since it meets with everyone’s approval, I shall gratefully accept,” the Great Heaven Official responded with a slight nod, offering a smile to the assembly.
Following this, the specifics of the tournament's rules were deliberated, and the Great Heaven Official proceeded to delineate specific responsibilities. The Universe King, the Time King, and the Dragon God were tasked with selecting formidable contenders from the Angel Realm, the Time Realm, and the Dragon Realm, respectively. Turning his attention to Xiaya regarding the Multiverse, the Great Heaven Official stated, “Xiaya, as the World God, the stewardship of the Multiverse falls to you until your new world achieves stability!” His words were accompanied by a graceful smile, projecting an aura of refined elegance and simplicity.
Xiaya replied with a smile, “I shall gladly assume this responsibility and represent the Multiverse for the interim.”
“Then it is settled. The Tournament of Dimensions will commence in three months’ time.”
With a few casual pronouncements, a grand tournament encompassing numerous dimensions and worlds was formally decided. Subsequently, the five dignitaries returned to their respective domains to commence preparations for the impending contest.
…
Within the vast expanse of the Multiverse.
Zeno’s Palace.
Upon Xiaya’s arrival at Zeno’s palace, he found Zeno idly engaged in a game of “marbles” with his attendant guards. The moment Xiaya materialized, the bodyguards reacted with alarm, as if confronting a formidable adversary.
“Hey~ I recognize you. You are Xiaya, correct…?” Zeno fixed his gaze on Xiaya, a sense of curiosity piquing regarding this unexpected visitor.
Xiaya offered a smile and gestured toward Zeno. Simultaneously, a surge of the World’s Power was unleashed, swiftly rousing the slumbering Great Priest.
“Hey~ Great Priest has awakened… That’s wonderful!” Zeno exclaimed with delight, clapping his hands. He then leaped from his throne and, with gleeful abandon, ran towards Xiaya, circling him, observing him from all angles, and performing several spins.
“Hey, hey, how did you accomplish that? Merely a wave of your hand… and the Great Priest awoke! That’s absolutely astonishing!”
The two bodyguards flanking Zeno were visibly taken aback by his uninhibited behavior. They promptly positioned themselves beside Zeno, diligently ensuring his protection.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Xiaya conjured a breeze that subtly nudged the two bodyguards aside. He then leisurely advanced towards Zeno, reached out, and affectionately patted his head. “From this point forward, I shall refer to you as Little Zeno, just as the Time King does…”
“Time King? Little Zeno?” Zeno’s brow furrowed in confusion, but his eyes immediately widened with surprise at the mention of the Time King by Xiaya.
…
Witnessing Xiaya’s actions, the two bodyguards broke into a cold sweat. They turned their bewildered gazes towards the now-awakened Great Priest, who had made no move to halt Xiaya’s conduct.
“Great Priest, in three months’ time, a significant Tournament of Dimensions will be held in the Angel Realm. I require you to assemble suitable participants from across the Multiverse.”
“Tournament of Dimensions?” The Great Priest, having just regained consciousness, echoed Xiaya’s words with a look of bewilderment.
At that precise moment, a luminescence traversed dimensions, streaking from the Angel Realm. The Great Priest’s mind was instantly inundated with critical information transmitted by the Universe King.
The Great Priest’s expression underwent a discernible shift, clearly registering shock at the intelligence conveyed by the Universe King.
“Xiaya, the World God!!” Astonishment filled the Great Priest’s eyes. Upon turning to look where Xiaya had stood moments before, he found no trace of him remaining.
…
Across various other Multiverses, Xiaya made his rounds. From Trunks’ World, he selected Trunks as a contender, and from a realm mirroring the original narrative’s setting, he chose Calote and Dal* [*indicating Goku and Vegeta] as participants.
Universe 5, the domain of the God of Destruction.
Xiaya’s form materialized. “Kakarot, Vegeta, an intense tournament approaches. It is time for you to demonstrate your formidable abilities.”
…
Dragon Realm.
Dragon God Zalama personally extended invitations to the most skilled individuals from the mortal plane of the Dragon Realm.
“One Star, go and bring the two Super Saiyans who are training in the Dragon Realm. I believe their names are Goku and Vegeta. How strong are they?”
One Star Dragon God respectfully replied, “Teacher, those two Super Saiyans have been training in the Dragon Realm for over twenty years and have reached what they call Super Saiyan 6. They can be considered to have the power at the fourth level of the Divine Realm.”
“Hmm, they are rare talents. Let them have two of the slots.”
…
Next, the powerful individuals from various dimensions gathered in the Angel Realm. It was a hue tournament that involved all timelines and dimensions. As each expert entered the Angel Realm, it felt as if they had entered a magnificent garden, their perspective suddenly expanding.
When Goku and Vegeta from different timelines and dimensions gathered together, the scene was unimaginable.
Due to the large number of participants, the Tournament of Dimensions lasted for five years.
After five years, the intense Tournament of Dimensions finally came to an end. According to the rules, all participants from different timelines and dimensions had to return to their respective worlds. However, their experiences and encounters in the Angel Realm continued to motivate them. Goku and Vegeta became even more diligent in their training.
“Goku, don’t spend all your time training. Take some time to relax.”
“By the way, in a few days, Bulla will inherit Beerus-sama’s position. You should also attend such an important ceremony.”
“Alright!”
“Goku, I heard that Vegeta is going on a trip through the universe with sister, reminiscing about their experiences when they were young. After the ceremony, why don’t we also go on a trip? We haven’t explored the universe properly yet!”
“That sounds good. We’ll go together as a family.”
“Okay!”
…
Time passed swiftly.
Six hundred years passed unknowingly in the blink of an eye.
In these 600 years, the world created by Xiaya had fully developed and he named is “God Realm.”
Six hundred years was a long time, enough to make everything and everyone unrecognizable. The power of time was the most ruthless; only true gods could resist its erosion.
In the present day, the Saiyans of Planet Hongshan had already gone through numerous generations, yet the Saiyan race remained powerful and prosperous.
Recalling the fleeting six hundred years, Xiaya couldn’t help but feel emotional. The people he once knew had aged and passed away. Even Adri and the others, despite having consumed the Fountain of Youth, couldn’t resist the merciless passage of time and had aged over a hundred years ago.
However, in the Dragon Ball World, the difference between the Underworld and the world of the living was merely the addition of a halo. This was clearly unreasonable. With so many incredibly powerful individuals gathered in the Underworld, it inevitably caused an imbalance be
