Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 26 Lord God

Krillin and Yajirobe stood on the Tower of Kalin, gazing up at the sky.

"I wonder how Goku and the others are doing." Yajirobe crossed his arms.

"Don't worry, Goku and the others will be fine." Krillin finished eating the fish in his hand and said, "This fish is almost finished. I really hope Shangyun comes down soon."

"By the way, you just said that Wukong and the others have seen the face of the God of Heaven. What's that about?"

“They are very familiar with the face of the Celestial God. When they see the face of the Celestial God, they will be shocked,” said the sage Kalin mysteriously.

……

In the dense forest, a green child looked at the three people lying in front of him, clenched his fists, and muttered to himself, "So Father left such a powerful force in my body."

Then, looking up at the sky, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hate peace, Sun Wukong. It won't be long before I kill you with my own hands."

……

"Wait here, the God is about to come out." Mr. Bobo led the two to the temple entrance.

"Ah! I can't wait!" Wukong exclaimed excitedly.

A series of "thump-thump" sounds came from inside the temple. A cane that looked somewhat like Master Roshi's cane was first revealed from behind the door, followed by a green figure.

"Piccolo Daimaō! You're still alive?!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Goku unleashed his full power in a furious attack, shouting, "Watch this!"

Before Sun Wukong could even reach the person, the man flicked his left index finger, instantly creating a gust of air that sent Sun Wukong flying backward at an even greater speed. Shang Yun rushed over to catch Sun Wukong, but he couldn't keep up. Fortunately, Mr. Bobo caught him instead.

"Damn it! Put me down! I'm going to kill Piccolo, that great demon king!" Goku struggled in Mr. Popo's hands.

"Goku! Calm down! Look carefully! This isn't Piccolo Daimaō." Shang Yun quickly ran over to calm Sun Wukong down.

"Didn't Korin tell you about my situation, you naughty fellow?" Kami slowly walked over and told Shang Yun and Sun Wukong about his past: "A long time ago, Piccolo and I were one. I was a martial artist. Later, I heard about the existence of a Kami, so I came here, just like you. But unfortunately, gods also die, so I very much hoped to become the new successor of Kami. However, Kami never approved of me. I always believed that no one was more suitable to be the successor of Kami's Temple than me. Later, I learned that Kami saw a trace of evil deep in my heart. After arduous training, I finally expelled the evil from my heart, and that evil body became Piccolo Daimaō. I became the new Kami, but he escaped to the earth and brought much suffering to people. I am very sorry, but now that Piccolo has been defeated by you, I will grant your request as a reward. But you will have to train here for a while."

"That's wonderful, Your Majesty! We're willing. Even if you didn't say so, we would still beg you to let us stay," Shang Yun said respectfully. Sun Wukong also clenched his hands excitedly and nodded repeatedly.

"Very good, but you must understand, even gods cannot bring the dead back to life. However, I created the dragon, and I can revive it. You can then make your wishes upon it." The Celestial continued, "I created the dragon to bring courage and hope to humanity, but instead, it brought greed and war. Originally, I didn't want the dragon to be restored after its destruction, but you are different. Although I hesitated for a long time, as long as there are people like you in this world, I am very willing to revive the dragon. Bobo, go and bring out the dragon."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mr. Bobo ran into the temple, retrieved a broken dragon model, and repaired it on the spot. The God gestured for the others to step back, pointed his finger, and a dazzling light shot from his hand towards the dragon model. The model then transformed into a beam of light and flew away.

“Originally, the dragon had to wait a year before it could grant a wish, but this time you can make your wishes directly. This is all I can do to help you, understand?” The Heavenly God stared at Shang Yun and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, thank you, God."

……

After the seven Dragon Balls turned to stone, they remained on Kame-no-Shinobi Island. Bulma and the others discovered that the Dragon Balls had regained their luster, so they summoned Shenron and wished to revive those killed by Piccolo Daimaō. Shenron helped them fulfill their wishes and told them that Sōyun and Son Goku were training with Kami at Kami's Temple.

Krillin and the others, who had been resurrected, along with Tien Shinhan who had been taking care of them on Kame Island, were all greatly surprised and incredulous when they learned that Shang Yun and Goku had been training with Kami. They all intensified their training, hoping not to be surpassed by the two of them by too much.

Meanwhile, people are breaking ground all over the world.

……

On the vast, calm sea, a green-skinned child stands quietly on the water, eyes closed.

A fish swam past the child's feet. The child suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at the fish in the water, and the fish flew out of the water and landed in the boy's hand. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the fish was already dead.

The boy took a bite of the fish and saw a fishing boat in the distance. The people on the boat seemed to have seen him too. The boy casually swung his hand, sinking the fishing boat, snorted coldly, and continued eating the fish in his hand.

……

“Your minds are too cluttered and chaotic. You need to calm your minds and think of yourselves as stones,” Mr. Bobo began to instruct the two on their spiritual practice.

"Stone, okay." Sun Wukong sat cross-legged, but his mind kept wandering. He wondered how Krillin and the others were doing, how Lanfang made the delicious food, and whether Master Roshi had been tricked by Bulma again.

"Snapped!"

"it hurts!"

“Stones don’t feel pain, nor do they have thoughts.” Mr. Bobo noticed that Sun Wukong was distracted and tapped him on the head with his stick.

Gradually, Sun Wukong got into the zone, but soon he fell asleep.

For Shang Yun, achieving inner peace is quite simple, because whether it's comprehending the Heart Sutra or practicing the Heart Sutra, the prerequisite is inner peace. Moreover, in a non-combat situation, Shang Yun can even enter a "Zen state".

"This kid is interesting." Not only Mr. Bobo was curious about Shang Yun's situation, but even the God of Heaven was somewhat interested.

“Once you reach a state of nothingness, you will understand many things.” Mr. Bobo stopped paying attention to Shang Yun and spent more time teaching Sun Wukong how to cultivate.

"It seems my training isn't enough, Mr. Popo. You said you've trained before, and I'd like to do the same training as you. Is that alright? Please!" Sun Wukong pleaded with Mr. Popo, his two adorable big eyes wide open.

"It's very tough, can you endure it?"

"Ok!"

"Then come with me!"
