Chapter 19: Return to the 142857 Dragon Ball World
[Summary: The Gifted Awakened One is not a native of this world but a transmigrated soul from another realm. He has now made initial contact with the Treeborn World's source and has been identified as an anomaly by that source. This world contains two main worldlines.
Due to special circumstances, the Gifted Awakened One has already successfully integrated into the To Love Ru worldline and been accepted by one of the main worldlines. He must now integrate into the other main worldline — the Dragon Ball worldline.]
[World Integration: Successful integration into the Treeborn World's Dragon Ball worldline (the Gifted Awakened One is currently located in the Dragon Ball worldline). Ensure the worldline progresses smoothly. The number of tasks is unlimited.
Complete all tasks to be rewarded with integration into the Treeborn World's source and officially become a native of the Treeborn World. Fail, and you will be rejected by the worldline. To prevent excessive suffering, the Gifted Awakened One will be erased to ease the pain.]
[The task's time and location are set eighteen years before the current mainline timeline, so the Gifted Awakened One will be forcibly transported to Blue Star eighteen years in the past (the starting point of the Dragon Ball mainline).
At that time, the mainline tasks will be issued. Upon completing them, you may temporarily return. However, because this involves time travel within the mainline of this world, each traversal will consume a corresponding portion of the Gifted Awakened One's lifespan.]
[Traversal will occur in ten minutes. Please prepare yourself, Gifted Awakened One. 10… 9… 8…]
Having absorbed all the information, Franklin was a bit stunned. Every traversal would consume part of his lifespan — the thought made him shudder. He immediately pulled up the basic information from the Dimensional Heavenly Tome:
Name: Franklin
Age: 19 / 455
Race: Human (Saiyan)
Bloodline: Saiyan Bloodline
Body Cultivation: First Origin Realm (average cell diameter: 1000 nanometers)
Spiritual Cultivation: Foundation Establishment – Early Stage (all cells have undergone qi-cell transformation, all meridians are open, qi sea spiritual fluid capacity: 3%)
Mental Cultivation: Mortal Heart Realm
Sword Dao Cultivation: Human Realm – Sword Qi Realm
Life-bound Artifact (Pseudo): Guardian Sword
Cultivation Method: Space Overlord Art (Incomplete)
Spells: [Eye of True Sight][Basic Five Elements Spells]
Innate Talent: [Dimensional Heavenly Tome]
Dimensional Heavenly Tome: [Dimensional Summon][Dimensional Space][Dimensional Travel][Mission Tab][Phantom]
Overall Combat Power: 353 ~ 650
After reviewing his basic stats, Franklin let out a deep breath. Each traversal would subtract from his lifespan, and without a clear limit on the number of trips, a single round trip would cost him thirty-six years.
With his current lifespan, he could only manage about ten round trips. Realizing this left him with a heavy expression. Fortunately, aside from the lifespan issue, his combat power had skyrocketed again, which helped steady his mindset a little.
Before he could think further, a white light enveloped him. When the teleportation ended, the disoriented Franklin found himself standing in a familiar forest.
Seeing the scenery he knew so well, he froze for a moment. Just then, the main task appeared before his eyes:
[Traversal Successful. Task Activation Successful]
[Main Task: Ensure the Dragon Ball main storyline proceeds smoothly. Assist Goku and Bulma in finding all seven Dragon Balls and making a wish. Reward upon success: 100 Supreme-grade Spirit Stones]
[Task Duration: 10 Years]
The task duration left Franklin bewildered. He couldn't understand why it would take so long. Just then, an old voice called out:
"Goku—Goku—"
The sound snapped Franklin out of his daze. A realization struck him. He hadn't fully figured it out yet, but his body was already moving. He flashed through the forest, and when he finally saw two familiar figures, his guess was confirmed — the stone from before had indeed come from his future self.
Observing the two figures acting with thinly veiled hostility, Franklin activated qi-imbued vision to scan the young Goku before him:
Name: Ishii Ichiro (Son Goku / Kakarot)
Age: 4 / 300
Race: Saiyan
Bloodline: Saiyan Bloodline
Body Cultivation: Body Tempering – Level 10
Spiritual Cultivation: Qi Refining – Level 15 (Pure Qi Refining Path. Cannot increase life level. At later stages, Qi Refining can reach 100,000 levels or more, but neither lifespan nor life level increases.)
Mental Cultivation: Mortal Heart Realm
Cultivation Method: Kame School Style
Spells: Basic Martial Arts
Talent: Protagonist Aura (Exclusive protagonist. The protagonist is above all. If the protagonist dies, the worldline collapses.)
Overall Combat Power: 85 ~ 99
After reading Goku's basic data, Franklin exhaled deeply. The world was indeed full of surprises. He had read cultivation novels with pure Qi Refining paths before, but he never expected the Dragon Ball world to follow such a model.
When communication failed and Goku backed away, teasing Franklin with his tail, Franklin noticed the name "Ishii Ichiro" and suppressed a flicker of anger. He picked up a stone, infused it with earth-element qi, and hurled it at the retreating Goku's back.
With a sharp whistle, the stone shot forward and struck Goku squarely, sending him flying straight into the wall — and crashing into Franklin's past self. Both slammed hard into the rocky surface.
Watching his past self — whose combat power was only 7 — pummel Goku, Franklin silently observed every movement, readying another stone in his hand. To confirm whether the healing potion could revive Goku,
He took out a vial of the potion, activated the Eye of True Sight, and examined it:
[Healing Elixir]
Quality: Green
Origin: To Love Ru
Type: Healing Potion
Effect: Upon ingestion, heals most injuries and illnesses. Capable of reviving the dead and regenerating severed limbs. The higher the life level, the weaker the effect.
Rating: 99
After reading the description of the healing elixir crafted by Ryōko Mikado, Franklin finally relaxed a little — though he was still puzzled as to how she had produced such a potent potion.
Now was not the time to investigate. As his past self drew the Guardian Sword, Franklin hurled another stone. Everything was unfolding exactly as he remembered.
When his past self vanished and Gohan's voice drew closer, Franklin wasted no time. He dashed forward and reached Goku in an instant.
Seeing the white and red fluids — brain matter — leaking from Goku's head, Franklin's heart trembled. Could this even be healed?
Nervous but determined, he poured the healing potion down Goku's throat. Carefully sensing his condition, he felt Goku's faint life force rapidly grow stronger.
"Let him go! Who are you? What are you doing to Goku?!"
A shout came from behind, but Franklin didn't stop. Without hesitation, he took out a second vial and poured it into Goku's mouth. He watched as Goku's skull visibly regenerated, his aura gradually stabilizing. Franklin finally let out a breath of relief.
At that moment, a projectile whooshed toward him from behind. Franklin snatched up the unconscious Goku and blinked aside, just as a stone smashed into the cliff where he had been standing.
Turning around, he saw Gohan — old in appearance but quick and agile in his movements. As the old man prepared to attack again, Franklin simply hurled the unconscious Goku toward him.
