Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 431: The Mystery of Popo ((1))

“Mr. Popo, who are you exactly? A god? Angel? Or perhaps, are you from the Dark Demon Realm?”

Facing Mr. Popo, Lin Chen finally spoke out the questions that had been buried in his heart.

“And if I’m not mistaken, although you are from this world, do you have the ability to communicate with Mr. Popo of other worlds?”

“Mr. Popo, can you tell me who you really are?”

Under Lin Chen’s continuous questioning, Mr. Popo still maintained that forever inscrutable expression.

His face showed neither joy nor sorrow, forever calm like an ancient well without ripples.

Seeing Mr. Popo like this, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

“Mr. Popo, I’ve been to countless different worlds, and there is only one person besides you who is as expressionless as you. You wouldn’t happen to be of the same race as him, would you? By the way, that person’s name is Zeno.”

Finally, when Lin Chen uttered the words “Zeno,” there was a faint, almost imperceptible tremor in Mr. Popo’s body.

Damn!

Could it be that Popo is really related to Zeno?

“Mr. Popo, do you know Zeno?”

“Zeno, the supreme deity at the peak of the Multiverse, capable of easily erasing a universe. Of course, Popo knows him.”

Finally, after being silent for so long, Mr. Popo spoke!

Seeing this, Lin Chen seized the opportunity and continued to inquire, “Mr. Popo, what is your relationship with Zeno?”

“Hahaha.” Mr. Popo, rare as it is, laughed, although there was no smile on his face.

“Mr. Lin Chen, your thoughts are truly interesting. How could Popo be related to Zeno?”

“Because Zeno-sama is the universe itself.”

“The universe itself? What does that mean?”

Mr. Popo lifted his head, his eyes expressionlessly staring straight above, as if seeing beyond the atmosphere, and looking at the universe.

“Mr. Lin Chen, you should know that Zeno-sama can easily destroy a universe, right? But the universe is vast, even the God of Destruction would find it challenging to destroy the universe. Why can Zeno-sama easily erase the universe?”

“The answer is quite simple. It’s because Zeno-sama is the universe itself. He is, in fact, the aggregation of consciousness of the Multiverse in which we live.”

“The universe is Zeno, and Zeno is the universe. Zeno’s will is the will of the universe, and Zeno’s laws are the laws of the universe. It is just that simple.”

Lin Chen swallowed hard.

If what Mr. Popo said is true, then many mysteries surrounding Zeno that have puzzled him in the past suddenly make sense.

Why can Zeno easily destroy a universe? Why is it that even the most powerful gods cannot resist Zeno?

It turns out that everything is because Zeno is the universe, and humans, including gods, are just like bacteria or viruses living inside Zeno.

After sighing, Lin Chen suddenly realized that he seemed to have been led astray by Mr. Popo.

After all that was said, Mr. Popo didn’t actually answer his question.

That is, what is Mr. Popo’s identity?

“Mr. Popo, who are you really?”

Mr. Popo turned his head, avoiding Lin Chen’s gaze.

“Mr. Lin Chen, knowing too much is not beneficial to you. Please stop asking. I won’t tell you.”

Lin Chen frowned, but he didn’t give up.

The mystery of Mr. Popo has troubled him for too long, and now that he even knows Zeno, it doesn’t make sense to leave this mystery unresolved.

Moreover, Lin Chen felt that he might be close to unraveling the mystery of Mr. Popo now.

Because of what Mr. Popo said just now, Lin Chen captured another crucial point.

Mr. Popo said he “won’t” tell Lin Chen the answer, not that he “can’t.”

If that’s the case, there’s still hope.

But how to make Mr. Popo spill the beans?

Perhaps noticing Lin Chen’s prolonged silence, Mr. Popo began to attend to his own affairs.

Mr. Popo clasped his hands behind his back, slowly floating up into the air as he looked at Lookout with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Then, Mr. Popo’s hands moved like a conductor leading an orchestra.

With the movement of Mr. Popo’s hands, the ruined Lookout began to slowly restore itself.

In no time, the ruined Lookout was completely restored by Mr. Popo.

Although this ability wasn’t shocking, it added another layer of mystery to Mr. Popo.

After restoring Lookout, Mr. Popo descended to the plaza. He stared at the spacious and empty Lookout, lost in thought.

But watching Mr. Popo’s figure, Lin Chen sensed a trace of loneliness from him.

Wait a minute…

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He walked over and asked, “Mr. Popo, will there be a new Kami born on Earth in the future?”

Popo replied, “Past Kami’s were appointed by the older generation of Kami. But the Kami of this world was killed by Saiyans before they could appoint a successor. It’s likely that the Kami inheritance on Earth will disappear…”

“What if I find a new Kami for you?”

“A new Kami!”

Mr. Popo was suddenly stunned.

“How about it? Mr. Popo, I know you must be lonely. I’ll find a new Kami for you, and you tell me the secrets you’re hiding.”

Mr. Popo suddenly pursued his lips, and for a rare moment, he showed a conflicted expression. It was clear he was hesitating.

Lin Chen stayed silent. Now was the critical moment, and he couldn’t afford any complications.

The silence lasted for several minutes.

Finally, Mr. Popo spoke, “I can tell you some things, but there are secrets I cannot reveal.”

“Sure!”

Lin Chen didn’t insist. Mr. Popo used “cannot” this time, implying there were things he was prohibited from disclosing. Lin Chen wouldn’t force him regarding those topics for now.

Let’s find out as much as possible first.

“Mr. Popo, please wait. I’ll go bring the new Kami for you.”

With that, Lin Chen used Instant Transmission and left Earth.

The so-called new Kami, needless to say, would be the Namekians.

Who else would be more suitable as Earth’s Kami?

Although the Namekians in this world were likely wiped out by the Saiyans, for Lin Chen, finding a surviving Namekian wasn’t impossible.

First, let’s see if there are any survivors. If not, there’s always the Super Dragon Balls, right?
