A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 154 A Desperate Future, Without Hope

After the androids were dealt with, Jiang Chen checked them out. He originally wanted to find Cell's existence, but after sensing for a while and even using the power of time to search, he couldn't find Cell.

It's as if it doesn't exist at all.

"Does it not exist?"

Jiang Chen whispered something, then shook his head.

For him at this moment, Cell was no longer a problem.

Since we can't find it, let's pretend it doesn't exist.

Along with Goku and Trunks, Vegeta followed them to West City.

The group arrived in the Western Capital.

Bulma was extremely warm towards her adopted son.

He kept pulling Trunks aside and asking him questions, his eyes filled with a look of inquiry.

Trunks, who was initially awkward and uneasy, became more at ease.

Although the world was different, Bulma still gave him a feeling of warmth.

Of course, Bulma was more interested in the time machine than Trunks.

"Bulma, do you have the ability to improve this time machine, or at least expand it?"

Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he looked at Bulma with a hint of curiosity as he spoke.

"I'll give it a try!"

Bulma paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"This is troublesome."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, still very confident in Bulma's abilities.

This being is capable of independently developing a time-traveling device, a field that even the gods find difficult to explore.

Bulma left quickly.

And they waited for Bulma to leave.

Vegeta couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen.

"Aspara, do you want to travel to the future?"

Vegeta frowned as he spoke.

As he spoke, all eyes turned to Jiang Chen.

Trunks' eyes lit up.

"Yes, such situations will still need to be addressed in the future!"

"Also, I'm quite curious about that timeline!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, without denying it.

He was indeed filled with curiosity about the Great Time and Space.

In the Book of Time, that belongs to the first timeline, the original timeline.

Even if he used the Book of Time, he could not travel to that time and space. He was very curious about what was in that time and space.

Thank you!

Trunks took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Jiang Chen.

"You're welcome!"

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

The group then stayed at Bulma's place for a while.

Vegeta didn't say he was leaving either.

Until the tenth day.

Bulma walked over, looking exhausted.

"It's all taken care of!"

"However, the energy inside is only enough for one trip."

"To add, I haven't finished my research yet; it may take some more time. You can also travel to the future and let me, the person from there, handle it."

Bulma handed over a capsule as she spoke.

Thank you!

Trunks accepted it and quickly thanked him.

"You're welcome!"

"You guys go ahead and get busy!"

"Oh, right, Goku, remember to visit me in that other world!"

Seemingly remembering something, Bulma looked at Son Goku.

"OK!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

On an open space.

Trunks opened the capsule.

Soon, a time machine that was considerably larger appeared before everyone's eyes.

Let's go!

Jiang Chen spoke first and stepped into the time machine's hatch.

Behind him, Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku also went in.

Goodbye, Mom!

Trunks spoke softly, and the next moment his right hand activated the time machine.

"call out!"

The time machine shot straight into the sky.

Then, it vanished from the spot in an instant.

Future time and space.

The Earth is now completely shrouded in an atmosphere of doomsday and destruction.

Even the sky was covered with thick, impenetrable clouds, and the sun had not risen for who knows how long. The air was filled with an atmosphere of despair.

Everywhere you look, there are dilapidated buildings and ruins of destruction.

The site of ruins.

"brush!"

Spatial fluctuations.

The time machine appeared instantly.

"boom!"

A dull thud sounded, and the time machine landed on the ground the next moment.

The hatch opened.

Jiang Chen, Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku quickly came out.

"Is this the future?"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief.

Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply.

"Is this the Western Capital?"

Jiang Chen looked at the scenery around him, which was still somewhat familiar, and murmured softly.

Even though he already knew that the future was terrible, only now, witnessing it with his own eyes, did he realize just how terrifying it truly was.

Once the most prosperous city on Earth, West City has been completely reduced to ruins.

In this vast city, Jiang Chen sensed that there were only a few hundred people left. In the Western Capital they had traveled from, the population had probably exceeded ten million recently.

This is only a part of the devastation on Earth. In Jiang Chen's perception, the entire Earth is filled with scenes of ruin. The original billions of people on Earth have now probably numbered less than 100,000.

A large number of people have died.

The remaining humans could only survive by hiding in caves.

"Damn it, I can't forgive him!"

Sun Wukong finally realized what was happening and spoke with a hint of annoyance, his expression filled with rage.

"Aspara, leave the rest of that damned android to me."

Vegeta spoke in a deep voice.

He paid no attention to the scene on Earth; he was more concerned about the damned androids bullying her son.

Although it's not the same time and space.

"Let's go find Bulma first!"

"My power of time is spreading; once it has fully spread, I should be able to find it."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The group nodded slightly.

Vegeta didn't say anything either.

Soon, Trunks put away the time machine.

The group headed toward where Bulma was hiding.

A few minutes later.

The group arrived at an underground cave.

They also met Bulma from this world.

Compared to Bulma twenty years ago, Bulma in this world is undoubtedly much older.

Bulma was momentarily stunned when she saw Goku and Vegeta.

"Mr. Sun!"

"Vegeta!"

Bulma looked surprised.

"Mother!"

Trunks breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward.

Bulma gently hugged her son, then quickly realized what was happening and invited the others inside.

The cave was very rudimentary, with scattered machine parts everywhere. It was hard to believe that Bulma could have created the time machine in such an environment.

"You're from the past, aren't you?" Bulma said, her gaze involuntarily sweeping over Jiang Chen with curiosity.

"right!"

"This time, we owe it all to Mr. Aspara!"

Trunks nodded and quickly explained to his mother.

Hearing her son's explanation, Bulma couldn't help but show a hint of shock.

"So that's how it is. Traveling to the past can't change the future?"

"Looks like I was overthinking it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Aspara."

Bulma couldn't help but sigh; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Bulma, it's already amazing that you can do this. Time is a realm that even the gods cannot arbitrarily touch, yet you can do it with the help of instruments."

Jiang Chen sighed.

"It's just good luck."

Bulma smiled and shook her head, then turned her gaze to Goku.

"I never imagined that there would be a timeline where I would be with Sun Jun."

"However, if I hadn't been with Yamcha back then, I might really have married Sun Jun."

Bulma spoke in a gentle voice.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

In contrast, Bulma seemed much more natural.

"Thank you so much for coming this time!"

Seemingly noticing Goku's embarrassment, Bulma quickly changed the subject, speaking with gratitude.

"Hmph, those damned androids, I can definitely handle them."

Vegeta snorted coldly.

"You're still the same!"

Bulma shook her head, amused.

"Bulma, I want to ask, given the state of Earth, why didn't you consider reviving Goku? Although Goku died of a heart attack, there should be a way to revive him. And even if Goku couldn't, there are other methods."

"Even if the Earth's Dragon Balls are damaged, they should still be able to travel to Namek."

After waiting for the conversation to end, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking with a question in his voice.

This is also something he is very curious about.

Logically speaking, the Earth should never fall into this situation.

Even if the Earth Dragon Balls disappear, there are still the Namekian Dragon Balls.

Others may not know the coordinates of Namek, but surely Bulma does?

But in the end, the Earth is still like this.

The situation is very strange.

"There was definitely something wrong with the Earth Dragon Balls. Piccolo was killed by Android 17 at the beginning of the Androids, which led to Kami's death and the disappearance of the Dragon Balls."

"Namek was destroyed ten years ago too!"

Bulma couldn't help but give a bitter smile, her expression revealing a sigh.

"The Namekians were destroyed?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as well.

"Yes, Namek was destroyed!"

"I sent people to search, but there is no trace of any planets left in that area of ​​the sky."

"Based on the information transmitted back, Namek must have been destroyed!"

Bulma spoke softly, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

She had certainly considered it if possible.

But the result was that it was completely impossible.

"And what about the underworld?"

"The fortune teller should be able to go to the underworld, didn't you ask her to pass on the information to Sun Wukong?"

Jiang Chen was shocked, but he quickly thought of something and asked again with doubt.

For others, death is truly death, but for the Dragon Ball Z fighters, it's not.

In Majin Buu, Goku was able to fight Majin Buu with a halo above his head.

There's no reason why this spacetime shouldn't be possible.

"The fortune teller can no longer enter the underworld!"

Bulma shook her head, and what she said surprised Jiang Chen even more.

Good heavens, this world is truly hell.

The Earth's Dragon Balls disappeared.

The Namekian Dragon Balls disappeared.

Now even the underworld seems to be in trouble.

This looks a bit strange and wrong.

If we add the possibility of Zamas appearing later, has this world committed some kind of divine retribution?

While Jiang Chen's face twitched slightly, his power of time had already spread throughout the entire Earth.

"Found it!"

"Trunks, Vegeta, I'm leaving this place to you!"

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Trunks and Vegeta.

"snort!"

"good!"

Vegeta snorted, while Trunks nodded.

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate. He enveloped them with the power of time and instantly teleported them away.

"Asparla, what about me!"

Sun Wukong, eager to try, turned his gaze to Jiang Chen.

"Goku, let's go check out Namek first!"

Jiang Chen spoke.

He then spoke to Bulma, enveloped in the power of time, and his senses spread further.

"brush!"

His figure vanished from the spot.

The location of Namek.

It was originally located in the 27th main star system of the Vega constellation.

This place was originally a star system consisting of three stars.

But at this moment, both the green Namek and the three stars have disappeared.

All that's left is a vast, empty space.

"Splash!"

The tide is sweeping in.

A moment later, aided by the ever-expanding power of time, Jiang Chen finally arrived at this void.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Jiang Chen had no choice but to confirm Bulma's words.

Of course, he didn't come here just to take a quick look.

So at the moment of arrival.

A thought suddenly struck him.

The Book of Time appeared directly before his eyes.

"Splash!"

An illusory tide surged forth, the books flipped rapidly, and in the next moment, a series of illusory images slowly appeared.

That was clearly a scene from Namek before.

At this moment, the entire planet Namek was on the verge of destruction.

One by one, stars fell, including the three eternal stars that stood tall in the sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

With the final star crashing down, Namek was utterly destroyed.

Ultimately, Namek, along with the three stars, turned into cosmic dust, and the entire surrounding starry sky was affected by this terrifying destruction, being completely wiped out.

When eyes meet.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he had already guessed from Bulma's account, seeing it in person was another matter entirely.

This was a huge planet, and a huge planet with Dragon Balls, and it was destroyed just like that.

"Aspara, where am I?"

Jiang Chen's heart was filled with turmoil, while Sun Wukong's expression was filled with doubt. He looked around at the surrounding scene, then at the illusory scene in front of Jiang Chen, still looking somewhat bewildered.

Let's go!

Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.

Even if he wanted to continue exploring, his control over the Book of Time was limited, and he had no way to trace back further.

Now that we've confirmed Namek is indeed destroyed, we need to look at the others.

"brush!"

Before Sun Wukong could react, Jiang Chen disappeared again with him.

They then arrived at the planet Hillier.

However, the result was the same.
