Chapter 9
Twenty Years East of the River, Twenty Years West of the River

“10……18 universes.”

Jiang Nan’s pupils constricted and dilated as he listened. His knowledge of the Dragon Ball original story did mention 18 universes, but wasn't it due to some reason that caused Zen-Oh to erase 6 of them?

Thus, resulting in the 12 universes from the original story?

“Kid, I’m talking to you. Follow me to the Sixth Universe and I guarantee you'll have status and power for the rest of your life!”

Forget about becoming a chef for the strongest being in the universe. Even becoming a dog for the strongest being in the universe would be incredibly prestigious.

Jiang Nan took a deep breath and looked at Champa. Seeing the growing impatience on his face, he immediately said, “Lord Champa, could you give me some time to consider?”

As he spoke, he noticed the impatience on Champa’s face gradually turning into a slight displeasure. He quickly added, “I’m not directly rejecting you. It’s just that there are many more culinary delights to explore in this universe.”

He remembered Champa’s love for food and immediately came up with an excuse: “So, Lord Champa, you can consider me an undercover agent in this universe, searching for delicacies for you!”

“And when Lord Champa wants to enjoy delicious food, just have Vados contact me, okay?”

Seeing that Champa’s expression had slightly eased, Jiang Nan pressed his advantage and smiled, “Please believe me, within ten years, I guarantee that Lord Champa will be able to taste delicacies that you've never tasted in the Sixth Universe!”

Indeed, he had never tasted such delicacies before, but, in fact, Champa was already enjoying them.

The pie Jiang Nan painted was big and enticing, immediately elevating Champa’s mood from annoyance and displeasure to a high. He clenched his fist and swung it forcefully in the air, saying, “Alright, I’ll take a chance on you! Starting today, you’re my undercover agent in the Seventh Universe, exploring delicacies for the Sixth Universe. However… this ten years…”

“Is it too long?”

Jiang Nan inquired, “Actually…”

Before Jiang Nan could continue, Champa waved his hand grandly, saying, “Ten years is like a nap for me. I’ll give you a chance. Within twenty years, if you can make me taste dishes that leave me speechless, I’ll make you the top chef of my Sixth Universe, second only to me in status!”

“Thank you, Lord Champa!”

Jiang Nan chuckled internally. Champa was so easy to manipulate.

Forget twenty years, even within ten years, as long as he went to Earth, Jiang Nan was absolutely confident in whipping up various Chinese dishes for Champa to enjoy.

Moreover, twenty years from now, who knows who would be cooking for whom.

Heh, twenty years pass in the blink of an eye. Don’t underestimate the young and ambitious!

“Since that’s settled, I shall start searching for this Earth that Jiang Nan spoke of.”

Vados lightly tapped the ground with her Angel Staff. In the next second, a silver glow flowed around her. She then leaned closer to the crystal sphere embedded in the Angel Staff and peered into it.

After just ten seconds, Vados spoke, “Is it a blue planet?”

“Yes!”

Jiang Nan nodded.

“Then I should have found it. But… does this planet really have those so-called spices?”

With Vados’ abilities, she could easily sense all the life forms on Earth. To her, such a weak planet wouldn't possibly have anything special.

“Don’t worry, they’re there.”

Jiang Nan assured her, patting his chest.

“If that's the case, Lord Champa, let's set off for Earth.”

Vados was intrigued.

“Let’s go.”

Champa couldn’t wait any longer.

Immediately.

Vados wasted no time, taking out the Spatial Cube and setting off for Earth.

Within the Seventh Universe, a beam of light continuously jumped and flickered, flying at a speed impossible for the naked eye to see.

At this moment.

Inside the Spatial Cube.

Jiang Nan sat cross-legged, closing his eyes as if he was in a meditative state.

“This guy may be quite weak, but since we set off, he has been growing significantly.”

Champa lay on his side, digging his nose with one hand and casually flicking it twice. He said indifferently, “Speaking of which, isn't the God of Destruction Exchange Tournament about to be held?”

“Yes.”

Vados turned her head, glanced at Jiang Nan who was in a meditative state, and softly said, “This God of Destruction Exchange Tournament will decide the position of Grand Supreme God.”

“Grand Supreme God, so be it. It doesn't concern me. After all, I can't beat those guys, especially Law Breaker. After all these years, he probably has become the pinnacle of God of Destruction level strength.”

Champa said casually, digging his nose again and casually flicking it.

“I heard…”

Vados' eyes flashed. She said in a deep voice, “This Law Breaker has already reached Angel-level strength long ago!”

“What?!”

Hearing Vados’ words, Champa suddenly jumped up from the ground, his face filled with shock. Then, he said incredulously, “Angel-level strength? This guy has already reached Angel-level strength?”

He was shocked. Champa was utterly surprised.

Moreover, Vados said that Law Breaker reached Angel-level strength long ago. So, now? Wouldn’t he be even stronger?

“It shouldn’t be wrong.”

Vados smiled lightly, “In this God of Destruction Exchange Tournament, unless something unexpected happens, the position of Grand Supreme God will basically be Law Breaker’s!”

“This guy… is really dedicated!”

Champa took a deep breath and his face was filled with admiration.

Meanwhile.

While Vados and Champa were conversing.

In the Tree Cutting Space.

Yes, Jiang Nan was currently in the Tree Cutting Space using his consciousness instead of his whole body.

This little trick was something he had just discovered. Being bored in the Spatial Cube, he tried entering with just his consciousness.

Surprisingly, he actually managed to enter.

At this moment, Jiang Nan was constantly chopping trees in the Tree Cutting Space. The sounds of "clang clang" echoed incessantly.

He didn't know how long it had been, but Jiang Nan finally stopped, panting heavily.

“Huff, huff, huff!”

He gasped for breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his face flushed red.

“Ah, it feels so good!”

After a brief rest, Jiang Nan felt a warm current spread throughout his body. Although it wasn't a drastic increase, like gaining tens of thousands of battle power or even hundreds of thousands, he still gained a few thousand battle power.

“This Tree Cutting Space is a huge cultivation ground just for chopping trees. If one day I could automatically chop trees, wouldn’t that make me invincible?”

Cultivating 24/7. Just imagine how insanely strong that growth would be?
