Starting from becoming the King of Saiyans

Chapter 452: Goku’s inspiration and the source of Saiyan’s power

Before leaving, he decided to find Goku and inquire about the clues above Super Saiyan 4.

According to his observations during this incident, the clues mentioned by the system were likely related to the possibilities of other worlds Goku saw on Kai’s Planet.

Upon reflection, Goku at that time might not have truly seen a parallel universe, but rather encountered a more advanced and mysterious situation than observing parallel universes.

Otherwise, if he had only observed parallel universes, how could Goku have suddenly comprehended the transformation method of Super Saiyan 4?

Lin Chen found Goku on Mount Paozu, but when he saw him, Goku seemed to be packing, appearing ready for a long journey.

“Ah! Mr. Lin Chen! Hello!”

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Goku put down his luggage and greeted him.

“Are you going on a long journey?”

“Sort of,” Goku smiled and gestured outside, saying, “Mr. Lin Chen, shall we talk outside?”

Lin Chen nodded. Just as they were about to leave, he suddenly heard sobbing from the room. Turning around, he saw Goku’s wife, Chichi, crying on the table.

Lin Chen furrowed his brow and waited till they arrived outside before learning the reason.

“Mr. Lin Chen, actually, I plan to leave Earth and travel to the outside world. Moreover, I don’t intend to return to Earth. After my journey, I will live with Kai-sama,” Goku said.

“Why?” Lin Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

“This incident made me realize that there is still the Saiyan nature within me. For Earth, it’s too dangerous.”

Goku held his head in his hands and looked towards the forest in the distance, saying, “If it weren’t for this incident, I wouldn’t have known that such a demon was hidden within me. The accident changed my personality for the worse.”

“If it weren’t for Mr. Lin Chen this time, the entire Earth would probably have been destroyed by the other me. Although I have returned to normal now, I can’t guarantee that such a thing won’t happen again in the future. After all, within me, that Kakarot still exists; he’s just temporarily asleep.”

“So, I want to be away from Earth as much as possible. This is for the safety of Earth and for my own sake.”

“Is this different from self-exile?” Lin Chen asked in surprise.

“Sort of, but don’t worry. Gohan told me that he will train hard, and when he becomes stronger than me in the future, he will bring me back.”

Goku didn’t think too much, as optimistic and naive as ever.

Lin Chen sighed; this was probably the fate of this world’s Goku.

Then, Lin Chen was about to ask about the clues, but Goku spoke first.

“Mr. Lin Chen, your visit this time is not just to bid farewell to me, right?”

“No, actually, I want to ask you if, among the possibilities you saw, there are clues to a form more powerful than Super Saiyan 4.”

“There’s indeed,” Goku’s response was surprisingly prompt.

Out of caution, Lin Chen asked, “What you saw, it’s not my Super Saiyan God form, right?”

“Of course not. What I saw was the most powerful form that Saiyans can obtain through their innate power. I believe that form can be called Super Saiyan 5!”

“Super Saiyan 5?”

Lin Chen was surprised; was there really a Super Saiyan 5?

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, although the appearance of that form is somewhat similar to Super Saiyan 4, it is clearly a different transformation.”

Goku affirmed confidently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen finally couldn’t restrain himself and inquired about the details.

Regarding Lin Chen’s inquiries, Goku naturally held nothing back.

“Mr. Lin Chen, I don’t know how much you know about Super Saiyan 4.”

“If your Super Saiyan God transformation is a path toward divinity, then Super Saiyan 4 is a completely different path of growth from Super Saiyan God.”

“Super Saiyan 4 is a form achieved by retaining consciousness in the Great Ape transformation, then transforming from the Golden Great Ape form. It’s a transformation that combines the Great Ape and Super Saiyan transformation.”

“Although it still involves a breakthrough in physical aspects, it is different from Super Saiyan 1, 2, and 3 stages. In fact, Super Saiyan 4 represents the evolution of Saiyans in terms of their life form.”

“What I saw of Super Saiyan 5 goes further beyond this.”

Goku paused, organizing his thoughts.

“I think we can consider Super Saiyan 1, 2, 3 transformation, and the later Super Saiyan 4 transformation as two distinct stages.”

“The former involves Saiyans tapping into their potential in humanoid form. By the Super Saiyan 3 stage, Saiyan’s potential has been almost fully tapped. So, with Super Saiyan 4, we utilize the power of the tail.”

“From the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, it can be seen that this form is somewhat similar to the Great Ape transformation. Or rather, it is the humanoid form of the Great Ape. First, we transform into the Great Ape, then the Great Ape undergoes the Super Saiyan transformation, becoming the Golden Great Ape. Finally, the Golden Great Ape transforms back into humanoid form.”

“If we consider the Golden Great Ape, which corresponds to Super Saiyan 4, to be the Super Saiyan transformation in our Great Ape form, then the transformation of Super Saiyan 5 is actually Super Saiyan 2 transformation in Great Ape form! It is a transformation that can only be achieved by using extreme emotions!”

“So that’s how it is!”

After hearing Goku’s explanation, Lin Chen finally began to understand.

Indeed, although Super Saiyan 4 is called Super 4, if you look at its corresponding Great Ape form, Super 4 is just the Super 1 form of the Great Ape. Similarly, Super 5 corresponds to the Super 2 form of the Great Ape!

If one could transform into the Golden Great Ape 2 form in the Great Ape form, then after transforming into humanoid form once again, wouldn’t it be Super 5?

So it can be done this way…

After receiving Goku’s hints, the excited Lin Chen bid them farewell and left World 141.

Although Lin Chen did not stay in this world for long, it brought him a lot of gains.

In addition to the clues about the Super Saiyan 5 transformation he obtained at the end.

In the events that unfolded, some of the words spoken by the Evil Goku brought many new ideas to Lin Chen.

Oh, and the Super Saiyan 5th Grade developed by Vegeta also broadened Lin Chen’s horizons.

Now, Lin Chen began to doubt whether he needs to persist in the Super Saiyan God transformation on the path to becoming stronger.

Perhaps for many other races, becoming a god is the only path to strength.

But for the Saiyans, who possess unlimited potential, the Super Saiyan God transformation might make them forget the true source of their formidable power.

That source comes from their Saiyan bloodline.
