Chapter 283: The Request of the Omni-King!
All the warriors followed the angels and Gods of Destruction back to their respective universes, but such evenly matched opponents would always take the opportunity to extend invitations to each other.
After all, opportunities like this were incredibly rare.
However...
Just as the warriors of Universe 7 were about to return, the voice of the Grand Priest suddenly rang out.
"Wait a moment..."
"People of Universe 7!"
Everyone was startled upon hearing the Grand Priest's voice and turned to look at him in unison.
Even Beerus and Whis were puzzled.
What was the Grand Priest up to?
Neither of them spoke. Since the Grand Priest had called them to stop, it naturally meant there was something very important to be addressed. There was no need for them to ask, as the Grand Priest would naturally explain.
"Mu Chuan, due to your outstanding performance in the Tournament of Power, Lord Omni-King greatly admires you and believes you have immense potential. Lord Omni-King wishes to invite you to train in his palace for some time."
As soon as the Grand Priest finished speaking, everyone present was utterly stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Inviting Mu Chuan to train in the Omni-King's palace?
The Omni-King was such a mysterious being, one who could destroy an entire universe with a mere whim. The palace where such an existence resided must be a place rarely seen by anyone. And now, he was invited to train there.
Could this mean he might even receive guidance?
Everyone was utterly astonished!
No one had expected the Omni-King to make such a request.
Even Beerus was taken aback. He subtly nudged Mu Chuan before he could respond, signaling him to reply quickly.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Mu Chuan was indeed momentarily stunned. Logically, no matter how powerful he appeared to be, to the Grand Priest and the Omni-King, he should still be like an ordinary mortal—entirely insignificant.
Yet unexpectedly, he received an invitation...
It was indeed an opportunity!
He couldn't act as casually as Goku in the original story, forming a close bond with the Omni-King; such recklessness could easily lead to his demise. Who knew if a single mistake could result in being erased completely?
Now, since he was invited, he felt he could not afford to let this chance slip away.
After a brief moment of consideration, he decided to stay in the Omni-King's palace.
"With great gratitude to Lord Omni-King for his kindness, I am willing!"
This response didn't surprise anyone present. After all, this was a rare opportunity. Even if there was no guidance from the Omni-King, receiving guidance from the Grand Priest would be an immeasurable benefit!
Everyone could only feel envious!
"The boss is truly incredible. No matter where he goes, opportunities like this seem to fall into his lap. But given our current strength and realm, even if we stayed by the Omni-King's side, there might not be much to gain," Greta commented.
Though Greta was incredibly envious, he understood his own strength. Even if he were allowed to stay in the Omni-King's palace, the improvements he could achieve would be very limited.
On the contrary, returning to Universe 7 would provide him with greater growth potential.
It was an unavoidable reality. Their own strength and realms were too low, limiting their growth potential.
Unless one day they reached Mu Chuan's level.
No one felt jealousy; they only offered their blessings!
Even Beerus couldn't help but feel envious. This was an opportunity others couldn't dream of, and yet it fell right into Mu Chuan's lap!
"How lucky..."
"But... he does deserve it. After all, for a mere mortal to bring his power to this level, if he receives further guidance, he will go even further."
"By then, he might surpass the Twelve Universes entirely..."
Beerus, lost in thought, couldn't help but imagine the possibilities.
Afterward, Mu Chuan bid a formal farewell to everyone. After all, he had no idea how long he would remain here—there was even a possibility they might never meet again.
It was all an unknown.
However, the Saiyan legacy as a collective would only continue to grow stronger!
Watching the others leave, Mu Chuan followed the Grand Priest to the Omni-King's palace. The palace was located in a mysterious dimension, not belonging to any particular universe, yet its surroundings allowed one to see all twelve universes.
He couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
As expected...
The Omni-King and the Grand Priest, beings who stood above all universes, were on a completely different level.
"It's said that long ago, there were countless universes, but all of them were destroyed by the Omni-King. Now, only the last twelve remain."
"These twelve universes are both strong and weak. But if all universes were destroyed, would there be any left?"
"It feels as though the Omni-King and the Grand Priest not only transcend all universes but also exist on an entirely different, unknown dimension and plane. If there were only a few universes, they wouldn't be so indifferent or so dismissive of them."
Mu Chuan silently speculated in his heart. He didn't know whether his guesses were correct, but he believed that as his strength grew, he would naturally come to understand everything.
However...
All of this was predicated on the fact that he had to become stronger.
For now, he couldn't even surpass a single universe, let alone comprehend the levels of the Omni-King and the Grand Priest.
"Mu Chuan, from now on, you will train here in the palace."
"If Lord Omni-King feels bored, he might come to see you. If you encounter any problems during your training, you can look at the crystals around you. They may contain the answers you seek."
As the Grand Priest spoke, countless crystals appeared nearby. The closest one to Mu Chuan emitted a faint glow, as if responding to the Grand Priest's words.
Mu Chuan looked puzzled. "Are these crystals communication devices?"
"No, they are not."
"They can connect to the past and the present and even display everything within the vast universe. Particularly regarding the analysis of power, you may find the answers you're looking for through these."
Mu Chuan immediately understood the Grand Priest's meaning. This was akin to the power of gods in the Heavenly Realm, where they could observe the mortal world. But here, the level was far higher—it allowed one to oversee all the universes and even peer into the past.
Did this mean...
Certain truths could be slowly unraveled through these crystals?
Realizing this, Mu Chuan felt utterly amazed. If he were granted such abilities, wouldn't he, in effect, transcend all universes?
Even Gods of Destruction and angels couldn't achieve this!
The Grand Priest, having said his piece, seemed unconcerned with Mu Chuan's shock. Gradually, his figure disappeared as if he were never there.
