Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 432: The Mystery of Popo ((2))

The plan to find survivors of Planet Namek went smoothly, and from Zuno, who had been revived by the Divine Dragon, Lin Chen obtained the answers he sought.

During the Saiyan attack on Planet Namek, some Namekian children were indeed sent to other planets for hiding.

Fate seemed to have its way, as Lin Chen recognized one of these children, a Namekian named Dende.

After confirming the coordinates of the planet where Dende was living, Lin Chen was about to leave, but he suddenly thought of something.

He turned and asked, “Oh, Zuno, I have another question.”

“Savior, please ask,” Zuno respectfully replied.

As a being with the extraordinary ability to know everything, Zuno naturally knew the identity of the person before him. So, upon seeing Lin Chen, he addressed him as the Savior.

Lin Chen really wasn’t used to being called that way, he chuckled in embarrassment and said, “Zuno, do you know Mr. Popo?”

“Mr. Popo, the attendant of Kami of Universe 7’s Planet Earth.”

“Mr. Popo is… is…”

Zuno seemed to know Mr. Popo’s identity, but as he spoke, he suddenly got stuck, like an old tape recorder.

“What is Popo?” Lin Chen asked.

“Is…”

Zuno suddenly had a mournful expression, saying, “Lin Chen-sama, I cannot reveal the identity of Popo-sama; speaking of it might lead to death.”

“What if I kill you right now?” Lin Chen raised his hand, and the Power of Destruction appeared in his palm.

“I’m sorry!”

Yet, Zuno persisted, even kneeling before Lin Chen.

Staring at the back of Zuno’s head, Lin Chen dispelled the Power of Destruction.

“Never mind; I won’t force you. Anyway, Mr. Popo will tell me later.”

“Thank you, thank you!”

As if he had survived a disaster, Zuno lifted his head. “Lin Chen-sama, I cannot reveal the identity of Mr. Popo, but I can tell Mr. Lin Chen that the identity of that person is not inferior to a God of Destruction. That’s the only thing I can disclose.”

“Okay.”

Lin Chen nodded; knowing this much was already sufficient.

With that, Lin Chen waved his hand and bid farewell.

Once Lin Chen left, Zuno immediately plopped on the ground, sighing in relief.

Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t a good thing.

Leaving Zuno’s Planet, Lin Chen quickly found the last surviving Namekian, Dende.

This unfortunate child, although he escaped the Saiyan’s attack, he was not able to escape Zamasu’s attack.

When Lin Chen found him, he looked bewildered, unaware of what was happening.

Lin Chen explained the situation to him and then invited Dende to go to Earth.

At the same time, he promised that a year later, Trunks could use the Dragon Balls to resurrect the Namekians.

Dende readily agreed to become Earth’s new Kami.

Mr. Popo was overjoyed at Dende’s arrival and warmly greeted the new Kami. He then introduced him to Lookout.

During this time, Lin Chen didn’t disturb them. Instead, he stood on the edge of the Lookout, observing the mortal world.

On Earth, life was thriving, and those who returned from the Underworld rejoiced at the miraculous turn of events. Many embraced each other.

Trunks and the others had also returned, bringing back Bulma and Mai, their humanity now restored.

Lin Chen silently watched them celebrate below when suddenly, Mr. Popo’s voice echoed in his ears.

“Mr. Lin Chen, thank you for letting Earth again have a Kami.”

Mr. Popo had appeared beside Lin Chen at some point, looking beyond the Lookout as he continued, “Since the old Kami was killed, Popo has been living alone for decades. Though these decades are brief in Popo’s life, they have been painful.”

“Because Popo has grown accustomed to living with Kami. Our race is not good at enduring loneliness.”

“Your race?”

Lin Chen’s gaze sharpened as he turned to Mr. Popo.

From the conversation, it seemed that Mr. Popo, who had always kept his secrets buried, was finally willing to speak.

“Mr. Lin Chen, when you asked about the relationship between Popo and Zeno earlier, Mr. Popo lied.”

“In fact, Popo does have a connection with Zeno, as Popo was born from the will of Zeno. So, in a sense, Popo can indeed be considered part of Zeno’s lineage.”

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by this answer. Judging solely from appearances, Mr. Popo did bear some resemblance to Zeno. However, there were still aspects of Popo’s words that Lin Chen didn’t quite understand.

“Mr. Popo, you said you were born from Zeno’s will. What does that mean?”

“Popo mentioned before that Zeno is the will of the universe. When the universe was born, Zeno was born. However, in ancient times, the entire universe only had Zeno. Fearing loneliness, Zeno created many beings, such as Zeno’s Attendants and Popo, who were all born at that time.”

“So, we accompanied Zeno through the early stages of the universe until many other races were born later. Finally, Zeno-sama was no longer lonely.”

So that’s it. The reason behind Mr. Popo’s strength finally became clear. In a certain sense, Mr. Popo and Zeno’s Attendants were similar. If Zeno’s Attendants could be so powerful, it was natural that Mr. Popo would also be powerful.

No wonder Mr. Popo, with a Power Level of only a thousand, could repeatedly survive various crises. He must have concealed his true strength.

“Mr. Popo, since you belong to Zeno’s lineage, why did you come to Earth? As far as I know, Earth is just a remote corner of the universe…”

Before Lin Chen could finish, Mr. Popo shook his head and interrupted, “Remote? Mr. Lin Chen, you’ve got it wrong. Earth is not only not remote, but it’s also one of the most crucial places in the universe!”

“Huh?”

“Mr. Lin Chen, you mentioned that you’ve been to many worlds. You should know about the Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa-sama, right? Hasn’t she told you that in all worlds, there exists Universe 7?”

Popo’s words left Lin Chen momentarily stunned.

Indeed, according to Chronoa, there are Universe 7 in all 444 worlds, whether it’s the main world or mini-world.

Not to mention the main worlds, those mini-worlds where only one universe exists all have only Universe 7. There isn’t a single world based on other universes.

Why is that?

Lin Chen hadn’t thought much about it initially, but now, listening to Mr. Popo, there seemed to be a profound mystery behind all of this.

“Why?”

When Lin Chen posed the question, Mr. Popo’s mouth curved into a smile as he said, “It’s all because of Earth.”
