Chapter 202: Mission to Make Up for Childhood Regrets Completed!
Just as everyone was basking in the joy of defeating the evil dragon, the seven Dragon Balls gathered on the ground appeared as Shenron without anyone's summoning.
"Huh?" Sun Wukong looked at the dragon that had appeared and muttered to himself, "No one summoned the dragon, so how did it appear on its own?"
Xiaofang had never seen Shenron before, except for the evil dragon she had encountered once. So, she asked Gohan with great curiosity, "Dad, is this the Shenron from Dragon Ball who can grant any wish?"
Son Gohan smiled at Pan and nodded affirmatively, but regarding granting any wish... Shenron isn't actually that exaggerated.
"What's going on? Why did the dragon come out on its own?" Trunks looked at the dragon in confusion.
Vegeta, however, noticed that Shenron's gaze was fixed on Goku. Confused, Vegeta could only wait for time to pass.
At this moment, Xie Yi stood beside Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, the dragon must have come out on its own because the evil dragons have all been dealt with."
As soon as Xie Yi finished speaking, Shenlong responded to everyone: "You all know why the evil dragon appeared. It's because you overused and relied on the Dragon Balls. Originally, the Dragon Balls should be used once and then wait for a thousand years before being used again. Otherwise, the negative energy contained in your body cannot be completely cleared away."
After hearing this, Sun Wukong asked the dragon, "Dragon, have you finished purifying the negative energy within your body?"
The dragon said, "It's not completely purified. Although you defeated the evil dragon, you only reduced the negative energy in my body, not purified it all."
"Can you still help us fulfill our wishes?" This was said by Number 18. What she was very concerned about was whether Shenron could still revive the dead as before.
Everyone turned their attention to the dragon. They defeated the evil dragon in order to restore the Dragon Balls and bring the dead back to life.
If the hellish chaos before the dragon could not be resurrected, and the people who died from the evil dragon's calamity, then the earth would only have a population of about 100 million left.
The dragon did not answer the questions of the crowd, but instead spoke to Sun Wukong through its ability to communicate telepathically.
"Sun Wukong, I know you're wondering the same thing: can I still grant your wishes..."
Sun Wukong looked around when he heard the dragon's voice, and saw that everyone was still staring at the dragon, as if they hadn't heard the dragon speaking to him.
"Sun Wukong, I am communicating with you telepathically; the others cannot hear my voice."
"Hey! Shenlong, why did you only seek me out for telepathic communication? Also, you should be able to fulfill our wish, which is to resurrect humans who did not die of natural causes within the past year on Earth."
"I can resurrect those dead Earthlings. Sun Wukong, I must tell you that this will be the last time I appear to grant your wishes. In return, I need your help to purify negative energy. The pure positive energy within you is the absolute nemesis of negative energy."
"This is the last time I'll grant your wish. Shenlong, what can I do to help you clear the negative energy from your body?"
"Wait a moment, just follow me. I will take you to a place where there is a way, but it will take a long time."
"It's alright. As long as the people who died on Earth are brought back to life, that's enough. Vegeta and Gohan have both trained to be very strong. Even without me, there's no need to worry about the safety of Earth."
"Then, I will fulfill your last wish."
The dragon's eyes glowed red, and suddenly much more gas appeared on Earth.
"Everyone's back to life!" Trunks exclaimed happily, sensing the increased energy.
"Alright, I have fulfilled your wishes. Tell me anything else. After today, the Dragon Balls will no longer exist on Earth," Shenron instructed the group.
"What does it mean that there will be no more Dragon Balls after today?" Goten asked, completely bewildered.
Shenron explained the reason: because the negative energy within his body had not been completely purified, the Dragon Balls would disappear from Earth during the purification process.
"Didn't Dende create the Dragon Balls? Why did Dad have to leave Earth with us?" Gohan asked, puzzled.
The dragon did not answer, but said to everyone, "If I have no other wishes, I will leave with Sun Wukong."
Xiao Fang looked at Sun Wukong with reluctance: "Grandpa, do we really have to leave with the dragon?"
Xiao Fang looked at Grandpa Sun Wukong, who looked about the same age as her, influenced by the red dragon, and her eyes glistened with tears.
Vegeta stared at Goku in awe. In his heart, Goku was not only his goal but also his best friend. He couldn't imagine how dull and boring the days would be if Goku left with Shenron.
"Kakarot, is it absolutely necessary to leave?"
Sun Wukong looked at Shenron with a determined gaze: "Shenron is right. We used to rely too much on the Dragon Balls, always asking for them whenever we needed them. Now it's time for me to pay back the debt. We can't just let Shenron fulfill our wishes without helping him with even the smallest favors."
"Kakarot..."
"dad……"
Upon hearing Goku's answer, Gohan and Vegeta understood that the other had already made up his mind.
"Hmph! It's your choice, I won't stop you."
"Dad, I will protect the Earth!"
"Gohan, Vegeta, I'm so sorry, but I have to entrust the Earth to you all again this time."
"Sun Wukong, we should go now. I can't stay here any longer."
"Ah."
Just as Sun Wukong flew onto the dragon's back, Xie Yi arrived in front of the dragon.
"Xie Yi?"
Upon seeing Xie Yi, Sun Wukong smiled and thanked him, saying, "I almost forgot. If it weren't for your help, Vegeta and I wouldn't have become so strong. Thank you, Xie Yi. I really wanted to fight you, but unfortunately, we don't have time."
"time……"
"There's plenty more. Dragon God, let Sun Wukong stay. I have a way to deal with the negative energy in your body."
"There's a way to solve this!" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xie Yi with delight, as none of them wanted Sun Wukong to leave.
Finally, I resolved the negative energy within Shenron's body, allowing Goku to remain on Earth and help Gohan in that timeline revive Piccolo, thus enabling Uub to revive Fat Buu without diminishing his power.
Xie Yi and Bai Yuanxin were telling their son all the stories that had happened on their trip to GT at their home on Miracle Island.
