Chapter 130: When I See You Clearly, There Is Nothing Around You Part 2
Lin Chuan directly faced Porunga and spoke, "Porunga, grant me a personal, exclusive space! Recently, I've had to rely on Bulma's portable capsules to carry items, which is inconvenient for us warriors during battles."
"I need a storage space just for me, and the bigger, the better."
After speaking, Lin Chuan waited for Porunga's response.
Granting him a storage space seemed not a big problem, but the extent of it would depend on Porunga's abilities.
The Z warriors, upon hearing Lin Chuan's request, agreed with his reasoning.
From Lin Chuan's explanation, it's true that for warriors, carrying external items into battle, incredibly high-level battles could hinder their performance.
Although portable capsules are convenient, if they are damaged externally, the items inside can no longer be retrieved.
So, it indeed poses some risks.
While others didn't notice Lin Chuan's ulterior motives, Piccolo did.
Piccolo knew that Lin Chuan didn't make casual wishes. He definitely had more in mind than just storing items.
Of course, Piccolo wouldn't pursue it now. He acknowledged Lin Chuan and believed that whatever wish he made, Lin Chuan was qualified to make it.
"This wish is simple. However, with my powers, I can only grant you a large enough space to store non-living things. The internal space doesn't have time. How does that sound?" Porunga, understanding that Lin Chuan's wish wouldn't be trivial, responded.
Every wish challenged his limits.
"Great! But how large can this space be?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Using Namek as the unit of measure, I can guarantee that it can store at least 1,000 Namek-sized planets. How does that sound?" Porunga's words shocked Lin Chuan.
Is Namek big?
Certainly!
It's at least one or two times larger than Earth.
Calculating by diameter, it could be comparable to a Super Dragon Ball.
A Super Dragon Ball has a diameter of 37,196.2204 km.
If Namek is of that size, then it can store a thousand such Super Dragon Balls!
Receiving the exact answer, Lin Chuan was immensely excited.
That was his goal.
With such an ample space, he would have the capability to covet Super Dragon Balls.
[Porunga truly lives up to his name. Though not omnipotent, he can still fulfil such outrageous wishes.] Lin Chuan thought to himself, nodding to Piccolo.
Everyone was stunned by Porunga's words.
Of course, while they were shocked, to them, it was just a space for storing non-living things, nothing more than a marvel.
Piccolo translated the wish into the Namekian language, and Porunga granted the final wish.
Lin Chuan felt that he suddenly possessed a unique ability. Following the ability in his mind, his divine sense locked onto a vast space imprinted with his soul's mark.
Inside, it was like chaos, nothingness.
[What a magical space... This gives me a strange yet familiar feeling as if I've seen it somewhere before.] Lin Chuan pondered in his mind...
The Null Realm!
That's right, it was like the Null Realm!
Information about the Null Realm flooded his mind.
In the original work, this was a vast virtual space created by the Grand Priest, neither a universe nor a space belonging to a very special subspace.
However, this storage space, very similar to the Null Realm, still had differences.
The Null Realm could admit living beings, and time flowed within it...
You could say it's similar.
Or, it's a lower-tier space.
Shenron Porunga could only achieve this much.
[I hope this space can hold the Super Dragon Balls. Otherwise, I have no other way.] Shifting his thoughts, Lin Chuan withdrew his consciousness from his personal space.
With the wish fulfilled, Shenron Porunga bid farewell and left.
However, this time, the Dragon Balls didn't scatter into the sky but directly turned into giant stones, quietly remaining on the ground.
This is also Lin Chuan's second suggestion to the Grand Elder when making a wish.
Anyway, since the Dragon Balls are only used by their people, there's no need for the Dragon Balls to scatter after the wish is made.
After making a wish, they would need to be gathered again, so it's better just to let the Dragon Balls remain in place and be taken away by each respective Elder.
The Grand Elder clearly took this suggestion.
The Z fighters were once again surprised by this.
This is different from the Dragon Balls on Earth.
They were all sighing, but it should be known that only the naturally kind Namekians could handle it this way; other races couldn't.
Namekians could resist the temptation of the wish, while other races would definitely be disturbed and could do heinous acts or even destroy the world.
"Alright, things here are settled. We should head back."
"I'll go say goodbye to the Grand Elder, and then use Instant Transmission to take everyone back to Earth."
Without considering anyone else's feelings, Lin Chuan left a message and walked into the Grand Elder's residence.
He had to see this elder who was about to pass away.
He once wanted to help extend the Grand Elder's life, but the Grand Elder clearly didn't want that.
In his words, he had lived long enough, and it was time for dust to return to dust, earth to earth.
His death would open a new era, and the future of the clan might be even more glorious.
Lin Chuan understood his meaning.
Inside the house, Lin Chuan and the Grand Elder talked for a long time, having known each other for a year.
Although they had only met a few times, their face-to-face time totalling less than a day, they trusted each other.
The promise Lin Chuan gave at the beginning had now been completely fulfilled.
"I'm leaving. Perhaps the next time I come, you won't be here anymore. But I will remember you, Grand Elder." Ending the final conversation, Lin Chuan turned to leave.
The Grand Elder seemed to sense something, suddenly seeing some scenes, and after holding his breath for a few seconds, he said, "I see your future... when I see you clearly, there's nothingness around you..."
Lin Chuan paused...
Thoughts of the future his daughter mentioned appeared in his mind.
"I will change the future! This world will always exist!" After saying this, Lin Chuan stepped out of the house.
The Grand Elder sighed, his thoughts drifting far away, "I hope so..."
Coming out of the house, Lin Chuan exchanged a glance with Piccolo and then with everyone else.
Everyone had received the Grand Elder's grace, so they all went to say goodbye to the Grand Elder before finally leaving Namek under Lin Chuan's Instant Transmission.
...
Earth.
In the Capsule Corporation estate in West City.
With the appearance of spatial fluctuations, a group of people appeared beside an artificial fountain.
"This is Instant Transmission? We just came back to Earth from Namek?! Amazing! So incredible." Goku exclaimed immediately.
He really couldn't imagine that there was such a convenient skill in the world.
In his eyes, besides excitement, there was a desire to learn it.
After all, in the original work, Instant Transmission was his exclusive move.
But because of Lin Chuan's presence, not only was the plot changed, preventing him from becoming a Super Saiyan due to Krillin's sacrifice, but also from travelling to Yardrat after Namek's explosion on Ginyu's spaceship.
Naturally, he missed the opportunity.
Everyone was also shocked by suddenly returning to Earth in an instant.
However, they kept it to themselves, not saying anything out loud.
"If you want to learn it, I can send you to Yardrat, where they have the method to train for Instant Transmission," Lin Chuan offered.
He wouldn't teach, but if Goku really wanted to learn, he could send him to Yardrat's Grand Elder.
Because of Lin Chuan's connection, the Grand Elder there would be happy to teach Goku.
"Really? Then send me over quickly; I can't wait to learn this move." Wanting to chase after Lin Chuan's footsteps, Goku eagerly said.
