I am Jinshan Youxia

But what happened next gave him the feeling that there was something wrong with Frieza's army.

It's normal to investigate when a device shows a duplicate signal, and it's understandable to capture the clones. Later, the clones returned the ships that didn't have the same device signal, and he never used anything from Frieza's army again.

However, Frieza's army immediately sealed off the nearby star system, and captured or killed all the aliens on the black market planet where the clones had previously purchased supplies. Anyone who tried to leave this star system died.

So far, not a single spaceship under Zhang Chengyi's control has left; they have all been intercepted by Frieza's army.

No, is Frieza's army really that capricious and decisive?

Even if just one spaceship leaves, he feels he has a chance to kidnap Kami, Piccolo, and the Dragon Balls before Earth enters the stage of fighting the Saiyans and Frieza, even if they are all shot down.

Then we can only prepare for the worst.

Kill Frieza.

Zhang Chengyi's gaze fell upon the interior of his body. In the underground space, he had created one arena after another, providing a large number of clones with opportunities to kill each other. In any case, even the most innocent clones had killed a considerable number of innocent alien natives, so they were the type whose deaths were not worth regretting no matter how many times they died.

After being brainwashed and having their memories altered, they threw themselves wholeheartedly into the battle. Since they could replicate an identical body after death and inherit the memories from before their death, they fought repeatedly until today, and the first individual with a combat power exceeding 10,000 has already emerged.

It was a tall, red-skinned alien with long horns. Its main body was made of a chest and groin armor, with its limbs exposed. It was muscular and looked simple-minded.

But it is indeed very powerful and suited to this kind of endless fighting.

If any alien increases its combat power, another alien of the same type will immediately follow suit after dying once. Even if the memory is lost, the body and the energy within it can be completely replicated. At most, the control ability will be a little worse. After dying a few more times, it will be about the same.

[It should be close to tens of thousands soon. Things will be a bit quieter outside for now. Once that's done, we can send someone to capture the Saiyan and unlock the Endless Saiyan Mode...]

"what?"

Just as Zhang Chengyi was filled with joy at seeing the old farmer harvesting vegetables, he suddenly noticed that a new character, "Ghost," had appeared in his list of characters he could copy. He immediately turned his attention to that character.

A middle-aged man with a black suit, glasses, and a balding mustache was floating in the air, looking around. His head was spinning so much that it left afterimages. He was covered in sweat and glanced down at his notebook.

[Strange, how can this be a lifeless death star? There aren't even any gods here, so why have so many souls appeared in just a few days...?]

He muttered to himself, his body swaying in the wind, circling around Zhang Chengyi's body at a very fast speed. He would even suddenly disappear and reappear in other places. It wasn't teleportation; he would leave and then suddenly return, choosing to appear in other places.

[People from the underworld? Uh, ghosts?]

Zhang Chengyi observed for a while and found that the ghost's mind was quite active and could effectively provide him with information. Unfortunately, most of what it was thinking about was gossip about the underworld, such as what Yama, the King of Hell, had eaten that made his farts smell bad, or the assistant nearby who had promised to go on a date with him in a few days.

However, most importantly, when the people he cloned died, their souls actually appeared in the underworld!

This seems a bit abstract now...

I wonder if the underworld can accommodate the endless stream of souls to come.

Zhang Chengyi suddenly thought of the victims who died when he gave the order to go to Earth and Namek at all costs to bring back the Dragon Balls.

Could it be that after they died, their souls tried to return to the world of the living to help him bring back the Dragon Balls?

[Hopefully it won't get this grassy.]

Zhang Chengyi pondered silently, still not stopping his wicked method of raising Gu by letting clones kill each other.

There's no other way. If he's not strong enough, and Frieza's army attacks, he won't have anywhere to run. He might be finished off with just one wave of energy.

Chapter 363 is here again.

On a planet not far away.

"Crunch!" Vegeta chewed on the native's arm in his hand. "Tch!" He spat out the smelly tendon, stood up, and looked at the star map projected on his glasses.

"Another mission? This trash with a combat strength of a few hundred can actually create clones with a combat strength of three thousand."

“If we mastered this technology…” The tall, bald Nappa next to him also stood up, “Even the Ginyu Force wouldn’t be a match for us.”

Ginyu Force?

Vegeta wore a disdainful smile; his eyes were only on Frieza.

Raditz, standing at the back, lowered his head and asked, "Vegeta, do I still need to go find Kakarot?"

"No." Vegeta's palm flashed with light, instantly blasting the rapidly decaying arm into powder. "Just a low-ranking warrior, probably even worse than you, a piece of trash."

"Let's go and seize this cloning technology."

The three of them flew into the sky together. The entire planet was devastated, and many deep craters blasted out by the energy blasts were still smoking.

They quickly returned to the crash site of the three spherical spaceships and were about to board and leave.

"Whoosh!" A small energy blast flew out of the forest and hit Vegeta in the face with a thud. His head tilted back, and his gaze pierced through the trees to see the native child with a face full of hatred.

"Peng!"

Raditz casually tossed out a ki blast, exploding the native child into a shower of blood. His voice trembled with fear as he said, "Vegeta, he must have been a native who infiltrated while we were gone. Should I stay and clean him up again, just to prevent—"

"Do not."

Vegeta revealed a cold smile and took to the sky again.

Raditz and Naba exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of regret.

"Whoosh~ Boom!" Soon, a beam of light shot into the ground not far away, followed by a violent tremor and cracking of the ground, with a large amount of magma surging out.

The three Saiyans boarded a spherical spaceship and vanished in a flash, while the planet was reduced to a giant firework amidst intense light and heat.

-----------------

Inside Zhang Chengyi's body, in a gladiatorial arena.

"boom!"

The aftershocks of the explosion had barely begun when they vanished as if erased instantly by a pencil eraser.

Two red-skinned, horned aliens, each with a combat power approaching 15,000, collided after exchanging energy blasts, each using every trick in the book to kill the other.

They would poke at your face, punch and kick you, gouge your eyes and lock your throat, and grope your anus and bite your head.

"Thump!" Even though their physical attributes, combat power, and ki standards were exactly the same, the one who fought more times ultimately won, punching through the chest of the other 'self'. His eyes were bloodshot, wanting to continue killing, but when his gaze caught sight of the other 'self' fighting in pairs not far away, he restrained himself and lowered his head.

"Good, it was a success at last."

Zhang Chengyi noticed this and praised it, after which the red-skinned, horned alien's aura began to rise wildly.

"Beep beep beep~" The combat capability detector worn by the logistics personnel emitted a loud warning.

"Snapped!"

The combat capability detector exploded.

These combat power detectors, bought from the black market planet, have a maximum detection limit of 22,000; exceeding this limit will cause them to explode.

Zhang Chengyi mentally estimated the conversion value between the intensity of Qi and combat power, which he estimated would reach around 40,000 at its maximum.

He wasn't surprised at all.

Having cultivated himself to this point, he has discovered that the combat power level of this world, or rather, the upper limit of Qi, has a kind of stage-like leap.

For example, it's quite difficult to go from a few hundred to a little over a thousand, and it took countless people to achieve that breakthrough. But going from a little over a thousand to a little over ten thousand is much easier. And now it seems that going from twenty thousand to forty thousand isn't difficult either.

Of course, even for locals, rapid advancement still requires training. Only Saiyans can improve through self-destructive methods, and only those who directly use cheat codes would consider the issue of skill ceilings.

Referring to the crazy increase in fighting power in the Namek Saga of the manga until it collapsed, Zhang Chengyi estimated that a fighting power of 100,000, 1 million, or 100 million would be the threshold for the future.

However, it's highly unlikely that these small-time aliens will be cultivated to a million, and he doesn't think there's much hope even for a hundred thousand.

The main reason is not the stage of combat power, but that the improvement of Qi will bring a stronger self-awareness. When the combat power exceeds 10,000, these clones will have the idea of ​​running away and resisting. Brainwashing memories will not work, and their instinctive resistance will be controlled.

Zhang Chengyi has destroyed countless clones in order to create a clone whose mind constantly flashes with rebellious thoughts but who generally obeys him.

This has always been the case in the Dragon Ball world. Don't be fooled by the fact that clones might rebel. Throughout the main Dragon Ball manga, almost no controlled individual who wields ki will obediently follow orders until death; they all have their own ideas.

Even Dr. Gro's fully mechanical android, Number Sixteen, would be considered a failure because it was too docile.

Rather than a matter of qi, it's more accurate to say that it's perfectly normal for any power with spiritual attributes to develop self-awareness when it reaches a certain level.

"Huh, more of Frieza's army are here?"

Zhang Chengyi noticed the constantly monitored detection signals within his body reappearing. Since the body he landed on was a planet, the amount of data he could modify was unprecedented, from every piece of soil, air, signal, spectrum, radiation, and bacteria to mountains and oceans—everything was part of the game.

Note that the modified 'game' data is different from the 'items' that can be modified after being added. Items can be added or removed, but the data within the game can be adjusted in more minute ways.

So even though he was initially a rogue planet unable to move, he didn't give up and waited for decades because this 'game' allowed for more data modification, thus providing more opportunities to showcase the power of the modifier itself.

If other bodies were to provide power to this planet in the future and accumulate more resources, its potential for growth would be virtually limitless.

Moreover, he also wanted to use this planet's body as a workbench to create the body that would support his original form. The subtle adjustments at the microscopic level are the best workbench for creating bodies and races. If he wasn't worried that the Dragon Ball storyline was progressing too quickly, he might have focused on cultivating his own race instead of using clones to create high-end combat power in a short-sighted way.

Getting back to the main point, the combat power detector emits a kind of radiation when it is running, which can be detected by Zhang Chengyi. However, strangely, the information transmission between the combat power detector and Frieza's army ship does not use radiation or any other signal, which led to him being misled at first. After releasing the ship, he was surrounded and isolated by a large number of Frieza's army.

The ability to instantly transmit information across countless light-years has virtually nothing to do with technology; it's practically a mystery.

Chapter 364 Fight, Saiyan Prince!

"Boom!"

The three spherical spaceships crashed to the ground, but the ground did not create the deep crater that was common in the past.

Vegeta was the first to fly out of the cabin, and frowned as he looked at the ground, which was only slightly dented.

Something unusual means there might be a problem.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

Before he could think any further, another version of himself appeared out of nowhere. Shocked, he simply crossed his arms to block the clone's flying kick, only to be sent flying.

"Vegeta!"

Nappa had just popped his head out of the spaceship when he saw Vegeta being kicked away and cried out in surprise.

"Thump!" His head was slammed into the ground, and he passed out without a sound.

Raditz was the last to emerge. Facing his exact replica of himself and the combat power detector that had exploded on the spot, he dared not move, cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.

"Frieza, you really... I'm going to cry." With these sarcastic words, a man in combat gear slowly rose from the ground with his arms crossed.

Zhang Chengyi never imagined that he could acquire a Saiyan so easily. He thought he was at a complete standstill, but Frieza actually sent the Saiyan directly to him.

His planetary body is immobile, but he can simply create his own body, implant his own memories, and then have it controlled by the modifier as a 'secondary game'—a basic application he's already mastered in the God Realm.

The only problem was that he himself couldn't cultivate ki, so he had to add and modify it later. He originally planned to use the Dragon Balls to change the problem of slow power increase and the inability of his planetary body to move, but he accidentally clashed with Frieza's army.
