Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Chapter 83 The Fruit is in Hand

The duties of the Cornishrex family in guarding the Spirit Tree are very clearly defined; those responsible for supplying nutrients to the Spirit Tree are solely responsible for this task.

The one responsible for regulating the growth of the spirit tree only cares about their own affairs.

Veru's responsibility was to guard the fruit, so he had to take action.

The other Cornish Rex members, who weren't responsible for protecting the fruit, just stood lazily to the side, watching the battle.

Veru was incredibly fast, instantly appearing in front of Luo Yan and twisting his waist to deliver a side kick to Luo Yan's head.

Luo Yan held the fruit of the Spirit Tree in one hand and casually used the other to defend himself.

boom!

The collision of muscles produced a dull thud, and a shockwave spread from the point of their combat, causing the enormous spiritual tree to tremble violently.

"What a powerful physique!" Veru was slightly surprised.

Living in an environment with a gravity of one hundred times that of the average human, the Cornishrex race possesses incredibly strong bodies. Among all the natural races in the universe, only the Frozen Demons can rival them in terms of innate physical strength.

"With such great power, it's no wonder they dared to steal the fruits of the gods."

Veru's attacks were relentless, and his combat power was increasing rapidly.

Fifty million was not Veru's limit. Soon his combat power surged to 150 million, more than three times that of the beginning.

No matter how much Veru's combat power increased, his attacks could not cause Luo Yan any trouble.

The power to tear apart the vacuum and shatter everything can easily destroy a planet, but it cannot break through Luo Yan's defenses.

The gap between Veru and Luo Yan was too great, especially after Luo Yan had become serious and raised his combat power to one billion. Veru's attacks on him were like a child playing around with an adult.

After exchanging blows for a while, Luo Yan sent Veru flying with a single move: "You don't have much fighting spirit at all. How could such a punch hurt me?"

Veru shrugged: "I don't like fighting."

Luo Yan was speechless. A race with a natural combat power of over 150 million actually said that they didn't like fighting.

Can a race that dislikes fighting still produce two Gods of Destruction?

The God of Destruction—that's the divine position most closely associated with battle.

"Since you are unwilling to fight and cannot defeat me, why not retreat?" Luo Yan said.

Luo Yan could easily kill Velu, but there's no need. Killing Velu would only enrage the Cornishrex clan and cause Beerus to wake up prematurely.

Veru thought seriously and said, "Yes, you are right. I can't defeat you, so why should I fight you? It's not that I didn't fulfill my duty when the fruit was taken away. I tried my best, but I was powerless to do anything about it!"

As long as it wasn't because I was lazy that the fruit was taken, I doubt the elders in the clan will blame me.

Veru actually decided to admit defeat after Luo Yan's words, and even found a reason for his surrender.

After convincing himself, Veru looked up at Luo Yan and said, "Stranger, you are very strong. I cannot defeat you. You can take the fruit!"

"no!"

Frieza interjected, "This is the fruit of a god, the food of Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction. How could you let him take it away so easily?"

Frieza, who was watching and eavesdropping from the sidelines, pieced together what the two were saying and roughly guessed what the fruit of the Spirit Tree was.

He spoke up to stop him, not wanting Luo Yan to succeed in his goal and force the Cornishrex clan to deal with Luo Yan.

However, Velu did not heed Frieza's opinion. He said indifferently, "Lord Beerus is already tired of this stuff. It's no big deal if someone takes it away. He can't be bothered to pursue it."

Once you reach the level of a God of Destruction, the fruit of the Spirit Tree is just an ordinary fruit to Birus, and not even a very good one at that.

Beerus, who loves food, doesn't care at all about things that aren't delicious.

Frieza was stunned, and after a long while said, "Even if Lord Beerus isn't important, he must still be very important to you! Otherwise, why would you go to such lengths to take care of this tree?"

To everyone's surprise, Frieza's words enraged all the Cornish Rex.

"Bullshit, we're already tired of taking care of this spiritual tree."

"We wish this tree would be stolen as soon as possible."

"It's all because of these few trees that we can't get a peaceful night's sleep."

"I think we should just let these two strangers steal all the spirit trees, then we won't have to do any work."

"Yes, that's right. I don't need to take care of these broken trees. I can sleep soundly for a thousand years."

The Cornishrex family is lazy, sleepy, gluttonous, averse to exercise, and dislikes fighting.

They have very long lifespans, comparable to the Jiexin people, and can easily live for tens of thousands of years.

During those long periods of time, their favorite thing to do was sleep.

They prefer to sleep for a hundred or a thousand years at a time, and hate short sleeps and being frequently awakened.

Therefore, they find the task of regularly tending to the spiritual tree, which keeps them awake at night, extremely distasteful.

They also wanted to be like the elders in their clan, not having to work and just sleeping soundly.

Frieza was speechless after hearing their bizarre remarks.

There are actually races in the universe that would give up even cosmic treasures just so they can be lazy and sleep.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the different perspectives of the two sides; what is a treasure to one is a piece of rubble to another.

From Luo Yan and Frieza's perspective, the Spirit Tree can increase their dimensional power, enhance the strength of their subordinates, and expand their own influence, so it naturally seems very important.

However, for the Cornishrex clan, the increase in strength from the Spirit Tree Fruit was negligible. They could increase their dimensional power even while sleeping, so the Spirit Tree Fruit was not appealing at all.

Moreover, they don't love fighting, and the level of combat power is not important to them.

The Cornishrex family is like a millionaire who has a hundred million dollars in the bank. They could have more money than they could spend by living off the interest, so why would they spend so much time working a job and using the meager wages from planting spirit trees to increase their income?

If it weren't for Beerus's request, or the request from the clan elders, these young Cornishrex would have gone on strike long ago.

Although Veru initially tried to stop Luo Yan, he quickly understood after witnessing Luo Yan's strength.

He wanted to use Luo Yan's power to get rid of this troublesome job and escape the elder's punishment.

Veru said earnestly, "Stranger, you can take the physical form of the Spirit Tree as well. Even if you can't take it, destroying it is fine. Don't worry, I will absolutely not stop you."

Other Cornishrex chimed in, "Yeah, take it, take it!"

Forcing robbers to take away your treasure? That's something else!

Seeing the sincerity of Cornishrex's words, Luo Yan couldn't refuse them, so he cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, everyone. I've made my promise today: I'm taking all the spirit trees on this planet with me, not leaving a single seed behind!"

"Good, well done, that's it, don't leave a single seed!" someone echoed.

Everyone chimed in, "Don't leave a single seed!"

Frieza's eyes twitched. Even as the emperor of the universe, a man of vast knowledge, he couldn't help but find this magical scene absurd and unrestrained.

"Everyone, please move back a bit, I'm about to begin casting a spell."

Luo Yan floated high in the sky and called out to the crowd.

The group of Cornish Rexes all traveled hundreds of miles away, watching Luo Yan perform his actions with excitement.

"Compress the seal!"

Luo Yan enveloped the Spirit Tree with magic, directly compressing the enormous tree rooted in the star core.

The towering tree shrank at a visible speed. In just over a minute, Luo Yan compressed a huge spiritual tree into the size of a basketball.

After the trees were shrunk, they left a huge crater in the original spot, and the unsupported soil collapsed.

The commotion was quite loud, but the elders of Cornishrex slept even more soundly and wouldn't wake up unless their lives were in danger.

In this way, Luo Yan easily uprooted all the spirit trees on Garden Star, leaving the planet pitted and uneven.

Looking at the ten spirit trees sealed in energy spheres, the group of young Cornishrex cheered.

"It's gone, the Spirit Tree is really gone. I finally don't have to take care of these damn fruit trees anymore. I can finally have a good night's sleep."

Luo Yan was also very happy. He had thought that the treasure hunt would be a fierce battle, but he did not expect that these Cornish Rex were so easy to talk to.

The goal of the trip was achieved with almost no effort.

Of all the people, Frieza probably looked like he'd been fed shit, his face extremely ugly.

Chapter 84 Ascension and the Dark Laws

With the harvest of ten Spirit Trees, Luo Yan successfully left Garden Star amidst friendly farewells from Viru and the others.

The ten spirit trees bear a total of one thousand fruits, including nine hundred green fruits and one hundred ripe red fruits.

Inside the spaceship, Luo Yan couldn't wait to eat a ripe fruit.

Take a big bite and the fresh juice bursts in your mouth, instantly sending a gentle surge of energy into your body.

This is pure life energy, the essence condensed from the planet's energy absorbed by the Spirit Tree.

With just one bite, Luo Yan felt his cell activity increase by one percent.

This one percent increase boosted his combat power by one million.

However, compared to the increase in combat power, the subsequent explosion of another type of energy contained within the fruit brought Luo Yan even greater benefits.

That was pure dimensional power, a masterless yet solidified spiritual force.

This energy acted directly on Luo Yan's soul, strengthening it and giving his dimensional power a leap forward.

His dimensional power finally reached the level of King Kai because of this final step.

King Kai is a watershed moment. Once one's dimensional power reaches the level of King Kai, one's spirit can perceive the various rules and mysteries of the universe.

Once Luo Yan grasps the rules of the universe, he will ascend to the realm of a god and will no longer be considered a mortal.

The biggest difference between humans and gods is not power.

Among mortals, Goku, Vegeta, and others possess incredible fighting power, easily defeating King Kai and even Supreme Kai.

Therefore, beings with great power are not necessarily gods.

The main difference between humans and gods lies in their personhood.

Only when one's status is elevated and one masters certain rules of the universe can one be considered a god.
