At this point, he didn't dare delay and immediately flew down from the Lookout. Moments later, A girl was brought to the Lookout by Trunks.
"Dad, I told you I don't want to train! You're not making me train again, are you?!" Bulla said with a whine.
"Bulla, don't be ridiculous. This is really important right now!" Trunks couldn't help but speak.
"Trunks!" Bulla instinctively prepared to retort again.
"I'll handle it." Jiang Chen chuckled and stood up.
"Who are you?" Bulla looked at Jiang Chen warily as he rose.
"It's nothing, I am just going to show you something." Jiang Chen smiled, then raised his hand, an ancient Book of Time appeared in his grasp.
Whoosh--!
An illusory tide surged forth, and in the next moment, a long river of time manifested right in front of everyone's eyes.
After that, Bulla's figure was directly swept into the River of Time.
"What's this?" Vegeta looked a bit nervous and stood up immediately.
"Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. I'm just letting her see something." Jiang Chen smiled and offered a slight explanation.
"See something?" Vegeta looked puzzled.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
Hearing Jiang Chen's confirmation, Vegeta paused silently and ultimately chose not to act.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long.
Splash!
The illusory tide surged again, and in the next moment, Bulla stepped out of the River of Time. Only now, her face was extremely pale, and her pupils were filled with intense panic.
"Bulla!" Vegeta quickly rushed over.
"Dad!" Upon seeing Vegeta, the dead look in Bulla's eyes suddenly lit up, and the next instant, she threw herself into his arms.
"Aspara San, this...?" Goten subconsciously asked, his gaze turning to Jiang Chen.
"I simply let her witness one possible future of this time and space. Of course, due to the uncertainty of time, this is only one of many possible futures." Jiang Chen smiled and explained to everyone.
"The future?" Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, I saw Dad, Gohan, Goten, and Pan!"
Bulla gradually regained her composure, though her voice still trembled with lingering fear and panic. As she continued recounting what she saw, the others began to understand what had happened.
In her vision, she saw a future where Son Goku no longer existed.
In that timeline, a new powerful enemy emerged in the universe, one whose appearance plunged Earth, and even the entire universe, into a terrifying crisis.
Vegeta and Son Gohan were both killed in battle, and in the end, only she, Pan, and Goten remained. But even so, Pan and Goten soon perished too, and she herself was ultimately slain by that terrifying being in utter despair.
Listening to Bulla's account, everyone couldn't help but feel a heavy weight in their hearts. Although Jiang Chen had mentioned this possibility earlier, hearing it from Bulla, so vivid and personal, left a much greater impact.
"Even Vegeta Ojisan couldn't defeat it...?" Goten murmured to himself, a deep sense of unease settling over him.
Boom!
Vegeta punched the ground fiercely.
Fortunately, he didn't release any power, or else the entire platform would've collapsed.
"Damn it!" Vegeta roared in frustration.
But even after that outburst, he didn't know what else to do.
"This..." Son Gohan couldn't help but look toward Jiang Chen with hesitation.
"Don't look at me. The future is uncertain. Just as I said, no one can know for sure what the future holds. What Bulla saw is only one possible future. It might be real. It might not be." Jiang Chen said with an solem look on his face and he wasn't joking.
Even though he had deliberately chosen that particular time and space to show Bulla, that didn't mean it couldn't actually happen.
As a continuation of Dragon Ball GT, those kinds of timelines were entirely plausible developments after GT.
Just as he said, it might be real, or it might not be.
After all, the past is fixed, but the future is uncertain.
Even the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa, can't precisely grasp all possible futures, how could he?
Still, even after he explained this, the crowd remained silent.
This kind of future immediately reminded them of that other future timeline they had once seen.
The same tragedy. And once again, it all began with the loss of Goku.
"Our power really isn't enough after all…" With a sigh, that was Son Gohan speaking.
"Dad, from now on… please guide my training!" Son Gohan looked seriously at his father as he made the request.
"And me too!"
"Brother! Dad!"
Goten also spoke up at this moment.
"Dad!" Trunks couldn't help but look toward his own father.
"From now on… all of you, together!" Vegeta gave a cold snort, his fists involuntarily clenching tightly.
He could admit that he wasn't as strong as Son Goku, but he absolutely could not accept such a tragic future.
"Good!"
"Yes, sir!"
One after another, their voices echoed in response.
From that moment on, the atmosphere on the entire Lookout changed drastically. Even Goten and Trunks, who used to slack off constantly, were now completely different, and needless to say, so was Son Gohan.
As for Bulla and Pan, their attitudes began to shift as well.
Without a doubt, they were all incredibly talented. Son Gohan's natural talent, in fact, exceeded even that of Son Goku and Vegeta. Goten and Trunks were also extremely gifted, and Bulla and Pan were not far behind.
As they earnestly began their training, their strength skyrocketed.
Especially Son Gohan, he very quickly regained his state from decades ago and once again entered his Mystic Form.
Goten and Trunks even managed to master Super Saiyan 2 in less than a month, this, after more than ten years of being unable to truly achieve it. But now, they did it with ease.
Their transformation was nothing short of incredible.
Of course, compared to their growth, Jiang Chen's improvement was the most astonishing of all.
With both Son Goku and Vegeta, true martial arts masters, sharpening him, Jiang Chen's base battle power rose at a terrifying speed. In just a single month, his base battle power had skyrocketed from 150 million to 300 million.
At his current rate, it might not even take a year for his base battle power to break past one billion, or even reach two to three billion.
And this was base battle power, meaning without any transformation applied.
Once transformations were added in, his strength would rise to an even more unfathomable level.
Super Saiyan: 50x multiplier
Super Saiyan 2: Up to 200x
Super Saiyan 4: Up to 2000x
And that's just standard Super Saiyan levels, don't forget, he also had Super Saiyan God.
Once all those multipliers stack…
Even Jiang Chen himself couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement just imagining the possibilities.
