Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 574: The True Saiyan God

“That’s right.”

Facing Mr. Popo’s words, Lin Chen did not deny it. This issue had indeed been troubling him for a long time, and he had no idea what the problem was.

Even though his realm was already higher than that of a God of Destruction, his divine power reserves do not last long.

If he used the divine power in only Super Saiyan God form, it would be fine.

However, once he tried to use the Power of Laws, Lin Chen’s power could last, at most, no more than two hours.

This was evident when he faced Dragon God Zalama. If Lin Chen’s divine power was comparable to Zalama’s, although he wouldn’t have any advantage in the Ultra Ego realm, at least Lin Chen wouldn’t have been so passive.

Mr. Popo’s voice echoed again, “Mr. Lin Chen, the reason you have such a flaw is that you are not a true god. Whether it’s you or others transforming into Super Saiyan God, it’s essentially just an imitation god’s transformation.”

“No matter how high your strength reaches, you are still just pseudo-gods. The divine power of a pseudo-god can never compare to that of a true god.”

“A true god? Mr. Popo, what is a true god?” Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Could it be that possessing divine power and mastering the Power of Laws was not enough to be considered a true god?

“Hmm, Lin Chen, it seems you don’t know yet, so let Popo explain,” Mr. Popo said. “There are two ways to become a true god.”

“First, you can be bestowed with godhood by Zeno-sama. Angels, Gods of Destruction, and Supreme Kais all become true gods this way. But the number of divine positions is fixed, and unless there’s a vacancy, Zeno-sama won’t randomly grant it to anyone.”

“Second, you can achieve godhood through self-breakthrough. But this is extremely difficult. Throughout history, I’ve only seen one person become a true god this way.”

“To achieve this, you need to master at least two types of Power of Law. Besides that, you must merge all versions of yourself from all timelines into one, transcending the timeline. Finally, you need to refine a divine heart of your own!”

“Lin Chen, you already possess more than two types of Power of Law. Moreover, Popo noticed that for some reason, you exist uniquely in Timeline 14, so you just need to refine a divine heart to become a true god!”

“In the past, you called that pseudo-god form Super Saiyan God. This true god form will be the real Saiyan God, the True Saiyan God!”

“Lin Chen, this space is an isolated dimension, where mortals can’t sense anything. But a true god, who has comprehended the divine heart, can perceive the universe’s primordial aura here. This aura was born when Zeno-sama created the universe, and only true gods can comprehend it.”

“Now, if you want to become a true god, try to sense this aura! The time flow here is like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but even more extreme. Staying here for 100 years is equivalent to just one day outside.”

“Lin Chen, give it a try and see if you can become a true god!”

Saying that, Mr. Popo’s voice gradually faded away.

Lin Chen quickly called out, “Wait! I have one more question. You mentioned someone who achieved true godhood through the second method. Who was it?”

“That person… was Zalama-sama!”

“Dragon God Zalama? So, it was him?”

“Lin Chen, you and Zalama-sama share many similarities. You could master both Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct Kill like him. I believe you can also comprehend the divine heart here. Good luck.”

With that, Mr. Popo’s voice disappeared completely, leaving Lin Chen alone in this void space.

Only then did Lin Chen realize the terrifying nature of this space.

In this space, you can’t sense any spatial directions, the passage of time, or anything else.

It was as if there was nothing here, leaving you all alone.

No wonder Mr. Popo said he had only seen one person succeed.

In this void space, could there really be universe’s primordial aura?

Lin Chen knew he had no way out. He could only let go of all his thoughts and begin to open up his consciousness, exploring this void.

Time passed slowly in this void space—one year, two years, three years…

Who knows how many years had passed.

If it were an ordinary person, in such a place with nothing, they would probably die of hunger within a year.

However, Lin Chen didn’t. The Power of Law he possessed came into play in this situation, continuously providing the energy needed to sustain his life.

And Lin Chen himself seemed to completely merge into the void, with no reaction at all.

In a corner of this space, Mr. Popo silently watched Lin Chen.

When Lin Chen started his training, he didn’t leave this world but silently observed him.

Indeed…

If it’s Lin Chen, perhaps he can really do it…

Mr. Popo silently thought to himself as he watched Lin Chen.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Demon Realm.

Mechikabura was meditating in the Demon King’s Castle when suddenly, a figure passed through the Space-Time Door and appeared before him.

“Zalama, you’re back?”

Mechikabura opened his eyes, staring at his ally with a slightly displeased tone.

He had already learned from Putine and Gravy, who had returned earlier, about where Zalama had gone.

He also knew that his trusted subordinate, Grim Reaper Shroom, had been killed by Zalama.

Although they were allies, Zalama killed someone from the Demon Realm, making Mechikabura wary.

However, Zalama seemed to not care even a bit.

He smiled slightly, and three dark Dragon Balls floated beside him conspicuously.

“Look, Mechikabura, we’ve taken another big step towards our wish.”

“It’s good that you brought them back, but Zalama, why did you kill Shroom?”

“Is there a problem with killing someone who dared to be rude to me?”

“This…”

Mechikabura was speechless.

Indeed, Putine and Gravy had explained that Shroom was killed because he had spoken disrespectfully to Zalama.

But just for that…

“Zalama, you’re even more evil than we people of the Demon Realm!” Mechikabura finally gritted his teeth and said.

Zalama, however, didn’t care at all and just laughed heartily.
