Dragon Ball: Refusal to Return to Planet Vegeta at the Start

The path, back to daily life (two-in-one)

"I could figure it out myself, or ask someone who has mastered this power for guidance, or, well, since it's called the power of the universe, if one could create a universe, one should also be able to gain some understanding of it!"

Faced with Rhodes' question, Weiss pondered for a moment before saying this, then added, "I only understand the theory; I don't know the specifics of how to do it, since I haven't reached that level yet."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing the several methods suggested by Weiss, Rhodes pondered, his eyes flashing as he thought of many things.

There's not much to say about figuring it out on your own; it requires continuous practice. As time goes by, you might suddenly have an epiphany and reach the level of mastering the power of a fourth-order god.

As for seeking guidance from a powerful being who possesses this power?

It seems that only the Omni-King, the Grand Priest, and the two Omni-King's guards have reached such a level among the twelve universes.

These people are high and mighty, and we rarely have any contact with them. Besides, we don't have any interaction with each other at the moment. We can't just go up to them and ask for their advice.

If we really do that, we might get killed as soon as we appear!

Of course, once we have some contact and understanding in the future, humbly asking for advice is also a viable approach.

However, if one can comprehend the power of a fourth-order god beforehand, then there is no need to ask for guidance.

Besides these individuals, Super Shenron might also be a viable option among the twelve universes.

After all, the Super Dragon can instantly restore the twelve universes, so its mastery of divine power must be extremely high, definitely reaching or even surpassing the power of a fourth-order god, achieving the level of cosmic power.

Besides these beings, there is the legendary dragon god Salama, the Great Demon God Remus who does not belong to the twelve universes, and some ancient gods, demon kings, and so on.

These should also be beings that have reached this level.

However, Rhodes only knew the names of these beings; he had no idea whether they actually existed or where they were located.

Moreover, like the Omni-King and the High Priest, they had little interaction with him.

In such a situation, not to mention the time spent searching, even if they were found, it would be difficult to achieve their goal if they could not determine whether the person was friend or foe. They might even bring trouble upon themselves if they were not careful.

While pondering, Rod suddenly focused his attention on the last method Weiss had mentioned: creating a universe.

Creating a universe sounds simple, but he had no idea how to do it in practice.

However, as he pondered, Rhodes suddenly realized that perhaps such knowledge existed in the Great Demon Realm.

After all, the legendary creator god Remus seems to be in the Great Demon Realm.

If we can find relevant information, it might be a shortcut to comprehending the power of the universe and then mastering the power of a fourth-order god.

However, this method has no factual basis and is merely based on some legends. Its feasibility is not high, and it can only be regarded as an alternative.

Besides Remus, the so-called creator god of the Great Demon Realm, there is another person or thing related to the universe in Rhodes's memory.

That is the so-called Seed of the Universe, and the Universe Tree that is born from the Seed of the Universe, which is said to be able to create new universes.

However, while this thing sounds very sophisticated, whether it can actually create a universe is questionable.

After all, the villains who relied on this thing did not live up to their ambitions, especially since apart from the Supreme Kai of Time, the remaining gods of destruction and other deities did not even make a move.

Of course, the world of Dragon Knights might be different from what Rhodes understands; the God of Destruction in that world might be much more powerful.

In short, although Rhodes was somewhat interested in the Seed of the Universe and the Cosmic Tree, he was not in a hurry to acquire them.

Firstly, there is still a lot of room for improvement in my own strength, so I am not in a hurry.

Secondly, the world of Dragon Heroes involves a multiverse, is very complex, and has a chaotic power structure. Although I am very strong now, when I reach...

Whether that world can dominate everything is an unknown.

Therefore, this is also one of the options.

Recalling the three methods Weiss gave, Rhodes pondered for a while and roughly summarized several feasible methods.

It is possible to discover this path on your own, but it requires step-by-step practice; there is little hope of achieving it quickly.

Seeking advice from experts is a good approach. Once you become familiar with beings like the High Priest, you can find an opportunity to ask them for guidance.

However, besides that, using a super dragon is also a good method.

Although summoning the super dragon is a big commotion, if one only wants to comprehend the power of a fourth-order god, even if the Grand Priest, the Omni-King, and other supreme gods find out, they probably won't care too much.

As for the final method of finding knowledge or objects related to the creation of the universe, there are many uncertainties.

Based on this analysis, Rhodes found that the best way was to comprehend it himself, the second best way was to directly rely on the Super Dragon. The other options were all possible, but each had its own shortcomings and drawbacks.

Ok?

While pondering, Rod suddenly thought of the creative power wielded by the Supreme Kai. It seemed that the early creative power was, in a sense, the power of the nascent universe.

After all, the power of the universe involves the universe itself, and while the initial power of creation could not create the universe, it could create planets and life.

Fate is also an option.

In this way, by continuously enhancing one's creative power, wouldn't one naturally come to understand the power of the universe?

No, that's not right!

When one reaches the peak of the third tier of the power of creation, one will also encounter the problem of comprehending the power of the universe.

Thinking of this, Rod frowned. It seemed things weren't so easy.

However, there are already many methods available. We just need to push ourselves to our current limit first, and then we can solve this problem completely later.

After all, the power of the Dragon God has been comprehended to the peak of the third tier, while the highest level of mastery of other divine powers is currently only the peak of the first tier.

In addition, the normal power level is far from reaching its limit and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In short, let's live a peaceful and stable life for a while first.

"It seems Mr. Rhodes already has some ideas about comprehending the power of the universe!"

Noticing the changes in Rhodes' expression, which eventually softened, Weiss smiled and said with surprise in his eyes.

Hearing Weiss's words, Rhodes smiled and shook his head: "I only have some ideas based on what Mr. Weiss said; whether they are feasible is still unknown!"

Rhodes spoke very modestly, but it still made Beerus's eyes sparkle, staring intently at him as if trying to see something out of him.

You also say you haven't comprehended some kind of divine power to an extremely high level?

At this moment, Beerus stared at Rhodes, inwardly complaining.

After all, who would ask about the method to comprehend fourth-order divine power when they haven't even comprehended second-order divine power?

It seems I've been slacking off for too long!

Thinking that he hadn't diligently cultivated for who knows how many years, the memories of diligent cultivation that had long been dormant for countless years resurfaced in Beerus's mind.

After all, the God of Destruction was once a mortal who cultivated himself. Back then, he was exceptionally talented and diligently cultivated himself, which eventually led him to the position of God of Destruction.

"Lord Beerus, are you alright?"

At that moment, as he finished speaking, Rhode noticed something amiss with Beerus's expression and couldn't help but ask him this question.

"I'm getting tired; Bulma's efficiency is a bit low!"

When asked by Rhodes, Billus immediately regained his composure and calmly replied.

Seeing Beerus's insincere words, Rhode maintained his smile and didn't expose him.

However, looking at the one in front of him who could be considered the strongest among the twelve Cosmic Gods of Destruction, and thinking about the destructive power he possessed, combined with his previous speculation about the relationship between the power of creation and the power of the universe.

At this moment, Rhode couldn't help but guess that the Omni-King's method of erasure must be a higher form of destructive power.

The group chatted briefly until Bulma returned fully loaded with food. Immediately afterward, Beerus and Whis got up and headed home.

"Oh, right, this is for you!"

Before leaving, Beerus tossed an earring to Rhodes, explaining, "This is the mark of a candidate for God of Destruction. Just wear it on your ear!"

This is an earring; Rod vaguely remembers it.

However, in the original timeline, it seems that during the Granora arc, Beerus taught Vegeta to master Ultra Instinct and recognized him as his successor, which is why he gave him these earrings.

"knew!"

Rhodes took the document and immediately agreed. Then he witnessed Whis and Beerus being enveloped in rainbow light and disappearing from Earth in the blink of an eye.

After glancing at the earrings of the candidate for God of Destruction, Rhode did not put them on, but instead put them away, planning to take them out when needed.

Anyway, I'm only keeping this for myself temporarily; I'll have to pass it on to someone else eventually.

Watching Beerus leave in a hurry, Rhode felt that he would definitely make a move again when he reappeared, since he had not shown any of his majesty as a God of Destruction during his visit to Earth.

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

Rhodes didn't dwell on the matter, but instead looked at Ella and said, "Although the battle with Beerus didn't result in a clear winner, he'll probably make another move when he comes next time!"

In this battle, both Ella and Beerus had their own advantages, which is why a decisive victory could not be determined in a short time.

It might be different when Beerus comes again.

After all, the training environment on Planet Destroyer is no worse than that on Earth, and there is also the angel Whis, an almost omnipotent being, assisting him.

When Beerus returns, his power will inevitably undergo a significant change.

"Don't worry, if he gets promoted, I'll get promoted too. I'm not afraid of him!"

In response to Rhodes's reminder, Ella retorted just as defiantly.

"Alright!"

Since Ella was so motivated, Rhodes didn't say anything more.

It's better to target Beerus, the God of Destruction. Although he's strong, he's not without hope of defeating him. It's better than targeting yourself.

Back then, Ella's combat power was slightly higher than Rhode's. After arriving on Earth, although Rhode always led her, she briefly held her own against him after the Wishing Time Chamber.

However, as her power level increased, it became increasingly difficult for Ella to catch up with Rhode.

Especially now that they have mastered divine skills and divine power, this gap has become increasingly wide.

After all, compared to Ella, Rhodes has exceptional comprehension and an advantage in understanding divine skills and divine power. Furthermore, the numerous techniques he has mastered have accelerated this process.

As a result, although Ella, with her unique talent in the power of destruction, also mastered this divine power to the peak of the first tier, if she were to fight Rhodes without holding back, she would be no match for him at all.

Thinking of Ella's stubborn, secret rivalry and determination to surpass him, a smile involuntarily appeared on Rhodes' face.

Now that time has passed, those once bold words seem quite amusing in retrospect.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Rhodes suddenly smile, Ella was completely bewildered.

"Nothing much, just thinking about some funny things that happened in the past!"

When Ella asked him a question, Rod smiled gently, his eyes were calm, and he looked at her with a tender expression, saying this.

"Anecdotes from the past?"

Upon hearing Rhodes's words, Ella's face flashed with doubt. Her eyes darted around, and she couldn't help but smile as she asked, "What is it? Is it about how I bullied you when you were little?"

Upon hearing Ella's words, Rhode was taken aback: "You bullied me when we were kids? Did you? I don't remember."

"Never mind, I was just teasing you! You actually took it seriously!"

Seeing Rhodes' serious expression, Ella couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head, looking rather speechless, then stopped joking and got down to business: "I'm going to cultivate now, do you want to come with me?"

Faced with Isla's invitation, and considering that Earth should be relatively safe for the foreseeable future after the arrival of Majin Buu and Beerus, he nodded in agreement.

After Beerus and Whis left, Rhodes and Ella entered the Time Chamber again.

Upon entering the Time Chamber, Rhodes immediately adjusted the time difference between the inside and outside to its maximum.

After that, the two went their separate ways and began their own cultivation.

Their current training focuses more on comprehending and mastering divine power, and then on improving their normal strength.

Although life-or-death battles can unleash greater power, the two have a close relationship and understand each other very well. Fighting is not the problem, but it is difficult for them to feel a sense of crisis.

Especially since the two of them have undergone physical modifications, they are practically indestructible. In addition, Rhodes possesses the power of the Dragon God, so even if he dies, he can be resurrected.

Therefore, aside from gaining combat experience and testing their strength limits, the two generally do not fight.

Inside the Time Chamber, the two resumed their training. On Earth, Wukong and the others also continued their training without interruption.

In this way, time continues to pass under the peace and stability of the earth.

Several months later, in the martial arts gym, in the courtyard where Rhodes and his companion lived, Rhodes emerged as the portal opened.
