"... is something wrong little Han? you've been looking at the sky all this time. are you not happy we now rule 70% of the Immortal realm?" Yuan Ming asked while holding Ling Han who was lost while looking at the sky. since the immortal realm courts were taken over, Ling Han had been like this. lost.

"... it was too easy." Ling Han said calmly while looking down, confusing Yuan Ming who looked at him in confusion.

"the heavens did nothing... thats not right, in the state it was in, it should have done something. but it has been quiet," Ling Han said softly, he had pushed the heavens to attack and hopefully do something, which would have given him an opening to either swallow the heavens or replace it. But my plan was destroyed with the heavens doing nothing, 

"... that is a bit odd." Yuan Ming said with a frown. Ling Han thought for some time, lost in what the heavens could do. for the longest, the heavens had been hiding something while watching him. but as of now, he didn't feel the heavens gaze on him. The heavens were still there, but it was as if the heavens had something more important to look at. This had to be the same thing the heavens were hiding from him,

'Adding my words... I have a bad feeling that the heavens have a way to birth a will and break free from its chains.' I thought while looking at the sky. I was using my eyes to their fullest abilities, my breath, Augmentation, Reduction, and so on. everything was being used to support my eyes, allowing me to see across the immortal realm and lower realm. trying to find what the heavens were hiding.

The many courts were recovering from their attack, the peak immortal emperor had returned home just to find their treasury clean. the many powerful clans didn't make a move and instead stood back to watch the battle. but now when they saw the outcome of the battle, they realized that they should have moved to stop this, but the Ling clan was too powerful.

"Well, whatever it is. we will be ready to face it all. You work on traveling the many worlds and understanding the laws that govern each world." Yuan Ming said softly, to which I nodded slightly. what did Yuan Ming mean?

Well, while others needed to comprehend one law to reach the Saint realm, I needed to comprehend every law. not from this world, but from every verse out there. 

"Then can we go to the other world? Mom will not let me go without you?" I said softly, to which Yuan Ming nodded slightly, of course, she would join to see this so-called new world.

"Ling Mei, tell Beerus and the others I'm heading back to their world in 6 hours," I said softly, to which Ling Mei who was at the side nodded slightly, before disappearing...

"Damn, I almost died 10 times in that war." Within a hot spring, Goku sat back relaxing from the battle they had just gone through.

"It was hard adapting to this cultivation stuff... this world standard is above ours," Vegeta said softly while looking at Trunks, who was playing in the hot spring with Goten. the two kids of course didn't take part in the war, they were more busy with exploring the cultivation world with their mothers. 

"Yeah. Cell, you have to admit... you overestimated yourself." Goku said with a smile while looking at Cell. Cell was a green and purple humanoid life form. he had a perfect jar line, with a crown horn that pointed upwards, Cell looked almost like a humanoid cockroach.

Cell snorted at Goku's words, indeed he had underestimated this world. he thought with his talent, and the fact he was the perfect lifeform, he was going to easily reach the peak of this world given the time. but his strength reached a bottleneck at the Early True immortal realm as he couldn't break through into the Greater Saint realm.

The same was true for Frieza, they couldn't even cultivate if not for Ling Han's breath which changed their body. Their world and this world were completely different, so how could they just cultivate once they entered this world?

The group was capable, it's barely been 2 days since they came into this world, yet they were already so powerful. Of course, this is thanks to the time chamber which allowed them to quickly break through, adding Ling Han's breath, their comprehension capability was boosted greatly, putting them into an enlightened state that allowed them to almost instantly comprehend the laws.

"Well... Lord Ling said that we are special. we have near-endless talent. so our strength can keep growing even without our cultivation to some degree." Broly said softly, making everyone quiet. indeed, their talent was high. it was even more so when their talent was improved by Ling Han, giving them as near to endless talent. 

"we are his knight... we should stay and keep up with his level skipping capability," Goku said softly, after knowing about cultivation, he realized just how amazing Ling Han was. the power to skip as many levels as he wants, was that not too powerful?

"Indeed, you can't slow the young master down. the young master's strength has hit a bottleneck for the time being due to the fact he needs to comprehend the other worlds. As his knights, you should also try and do the same." Ling Mei appeared, calmly looking at everyone there. Only Broly was the only one to cover up seeing a woman just appear while they were all naked. 

"you mean these world laws are not enough for him to make a breakthrough?" Frieza asked to which Ling Mei nodded slightly. 

"because of this, the young master would now have his strength grow until he no longer needed portals to travel the endless worlds... on that note, the young master will be returning to your world. If you wish to return back to your world, you have less than 6 hours... but you would all not dare keep the young master waiting." Ling Mei said softly, causing Vegeta and the others to quickly flash out, teleporting to Ling Han's side with clothing on.

That was a weird reaction you ask? well, most of their training too place within a time chamber. It was in this world where they trained, the punishment for not following orders and hearing the crown prince's order, was harsh training to the point of death.

Their trainer, of course, an immortal wasn't soft on them and was extremely ruthless... it's not like he was jealous that he wasn't a knight. no, not at all. it's not like he took pleasure in their pain and tears, it's not like he spent time thinking long on ways to torture them... nope, he was doing this out of love for the prince.

So, when they heard Ling Han call. nightmares from their time in hell hit them, causing them to instantly rush forward to the crown prince even though they didn't even want to leave. this left Gohan and Trunks in the hot spring with a confused look, but they shrugged, enjoying the empowering effect of the hot spring.

"I'm shocked, you all wanted to go back?" LIng Han had a raised eyebrow seeing how everyone came back. first, the males came, followed by the females. they didn't even stop to dry their hair off which left me confused. they had 6 hours, I could wait.

"I didn't want to keep the young lord waiting." Nalan Yanran said before anyone else could, causing Bebra and Daoleaf to look at her slightly. The 3 knew how to scheme, but Nalan Yanran knew best how to get on the young master's side

"You need not drop everything for me. But I'm grateful. well, are Bulma, Trunks and the others not coming?" I asked softly, to which Ling Mei appeared with the remaining group, and I was shocked to see the group's transformation.

For one, Bulma had taken enjoyment in cultivation, cultivating purely to gain a boost to her charm. Chi-Chi, Goku's wife took the chance to also cultivate. after all, she couldn't get old with her husband staying young thanks to cultivation, although she was more of a housewife who simply wanted the family together.

Goku's daughter-in-law, Videl has also cultivated, although in the past she was a fighter, she was no longer running around playing hero. She was more busy living a steady life, but with the benefit cultivation held, she had also cultivated and was now even stronger than her own husband. the same went even for her father who normally ran around taking the credit from Goku and the others' actions of saving the world. he got Earth to believe he was the strongest, but if he were to return home now, that would not be a lie as he was stronger than Zeno at this moment.

well, let's not forget the Grand Minister who was ready to return home with his newfound strength and bring Zeno to this world to Cultivate. Whis and Vados were also leaving, but it was clear they wanted to stay in this world instead of returning home, the same was true for Beerus and Champa, 

but the rest of the members from Universe 6 wanted to leave, all but Frost and Hit. Frost had been killed in the past few days, the guy annoyed my father and he was killed. Frost was the same race Frieza was, and for some reason, they seemed to all be evil.

Majin Buu also wanted to stay, fun fact. Majin Buu was a failed creation of Bebra, she just threw him into Universe 7 to cause chaos. Majin Buu was a bubble gum monster... I mean that was the best way to describe him. For one, he was a pink humanoid that was more round than anything else. he had the power to turn things into sweets and at the same time could swallow people with his bubble gum-like physique and absorb them to gain their abilities. this was not his true form, his true form was that of a kid who was pure evil. but this Majin Buu absorbed a god, leading to him turning into Good Buu.

"I want to go home to bring a few stuff from my lab to this world. I want to see if I can combine earth tech with the cultivation world tech." Bulma said with a smile, causing me to nod slightly. thanks to her, the phone had gone through a huge transformation in the few days she was here, even the boats had improved. I was also looking forward to the fusion of the two worlds' knowledge 

Call me childish, but I wanted something that looked as if it came out of the future. like those spaceships without any doors, and were pure silver. those ships that had no sign that it was something put together, thats what I wanted to see one day...

"Thats sounds great, oh. Mom told me to tell you that she wants to study the things known as guns form your world. the ones I have wouldn't work, due to the fact they can't be pulled apart." I said with a smile, to which Bulma nodded slightly.

The others also spoke of what they wanted to do, Trunks and Goten seemed to be staying, it was not like they would be gone for long. So, we left, entered the portal, and found ourselves back on earth. I was of course still in Yuan Ming's hands, 

Yuan Ming upon stepping foot into this new world was stunned by the completely different world she found herself in. There were no laws to comprehend and gain power from, instead, she felt like the power the laws should normally give was within the lifeforms of this world. 

"What an interesting world." She siad softly, Ling Han smiled slightly and simply created a clone that went on to try and understand the workings of this world, and how the inner strength of the power worked...

Yuan Ming brought me around to explore Earth, she wanted to explore the movies of this world, drive a car, and try the food of this world. it was all so new to her, Ling Mei and Ling Wong who were both following me were also the same, wanting to try out the many weird things of this world.

but they were stunned seeing how the creation of this world looked a lot like the Soda, and seasoning created back in their world, just more refined. Well, it would be a shame if they all didn't fully enjoy themselves...

they spent a week in the dragon ball world, and within this world, Ling Han's clone fully understood the workings of this world. Not the world Zeno created and tried to recreate, but the primal chaos of this world. this is where one could gain strength if one comprehended, and it is where Zeno originated from.

the gains from comprehending the primal chaos of the dragon ball world brought him close to a breakthrough in the Saint Realm. I also realized that I didn't need to comprehend every verse out there, I simply needed to comprehend enough to open that door for me to break through.

But this caused me to worry slightly. with how big the cultivation world was, how did I feel a smaller push towards a breakthrough compared to comprehending the dragon ball world which was both weaker and smaller?

The system answered this for me, and it turned out I simply comprehended a part of the true cultivation world. zoom out into the cultivation world, and you will find that there are many other worlds out there. Ling Hongwa was born from the chaos, but there were many others born from chaos.

Pangu was one such bringing, who went on to create the cultivation world Ling Han called home. The world was called the Pangu world, and Pangu was a primordial who was amongst the first people to take hold of Ling Hongwa.

Within the chaos, outside the Pangu world, currently, a powerful expert was looking at the Pangu world, looking at the message the heavenly Court ancestor had sent to him. This was the Dao Ancestor, the person who had created the many courts to look after the heavens.

All of the Court ancestors were his disciples, with one of his disciples even losing their life, he was of course displeased and returned as soon as he could to fix things. but for someone of his level of power to return to the Pangu world, it wasn't simple.

after all, this world was created from the death of Pangu. a lifeform who was the strongest of the many primordials, a lifeform who had tried to reach that realm, and in the end failed leading to his death. His body became the world that he was seeing right now. even he couldn't easily enter and leave this world. it was something that would take time... but as he began to enter this world, Ling Hongwa who was sleeping within Ling Han's treasury was awakened.

Ling Han never bothered Ling Hongwa once she entered the treasury, he understood that to her time was meaningless and that growth was something that she would fight for. But as she sensed the Dao ancestor, she quickly alerted Ling Han, who quickly returned to the cultivation world...

but with the difference in time between the lower realm and the Immortal realm, by the time Ling Han returned, the Dao Ancestor stepped foot into the Pangu world. With a simple look, the Dao Ancestor's eyes were not limited by time or space. easily seeing everything, be it things that happened in the past, to everything happening, to the countless possibilities that could happen.

"What an interesting kid." The Dao ancestor said softly, his eyes landing on Ling Han who was looking back at him with a serious look.

"But you're too freakish... so I can't take you as a disciple." He said softly before reaching out, with just the thought of killing, those who he wanted to die felt themselves about to die. Ling Fang, Fan Ye, and the other members of the Ling Clan would have died just then if Not for Ling Han.

"Live." Ling Han said his voice turning chilling coldly. seeing that those he wanted to die didn't die, the Dao ancestor was surprised. he smiled slightly, before reaching out to grab Ling Han. he was far, far beyond even the 99 heavens, yet his hand ignored all that and appeared before Ling Han.

Ling Han quickly tried to be untouchable, but it was pointless before such overwhelming might. Ling Han couldn't react fast enough to take a step, the Dao ancestor was about to grab Ling Han, but someone had already taken a step faster long ago. With a flash, Fan Ye appeared, pushing her son out of the way of the hand.

"Such an interesting movement technique..." The Dao ancestor said softly while taking hold of Fan Ye. With little effort, like crushing a bug, Fan Ye disappeared, erased with just a simple thought. Ling Han's eyes went blank... that was his mother. but this stunned moment from Ling Han was a huge mistake, which led the whole Ling clan to drop dead.

Ling Han who was still processing the death of his mother went blank seeing his father who was rushing over followed by the remaining Ling clan members just dropping dead

"You were talented, you should have stayed in hiding. what a shame." The Dao Ancestor said with a sigh. to keep the balance, the Ling Clan had to die. but Ling Han couldn't simply die, he had to study this kid and understand the kid's secret.

"That was my family..." In a low voice, Ling Han said. although his voice was low, the Dao ancestor heard it loud and clear. 

"THAT WAS MY FAMILY!" Ling Han cried his eyes turning bloodshot, his cry shook the heavens, and his voice boomed across the Pangu world, filled with might that shook fear into the hearts of those who heard it. many of them would have dropped dead on the spot, if not for the cry being aimed towards the Dao ancestor.

the Dao ancestor frowned while looking at Ling Han... that cry birthed a hint of fear in his heart. that should have been impossible. he was for a moment stunned when he felt that fear, it took a moment for him to even remember that it was fear he felt.

Ling Han's white hair floated up, and his blue eyes transformed, becoming a crimson red. Ling Han's energy gathered, entering his dantian and forming countless Supreme marks, his blood began to grow with a deeper golden glow, while gates to the supreme treasury opened up, filling every inch of the universe Ling Han was within.

The next moment, the rain of endless weapons shot into the sky, ignoring spacetime, and appearing before the Dao ancestor who quickly stepped forward, appearing before LIng Han... Ling Han moved punching the Dao ancestor, but the Dao ancestor easily caught his fist. His palm was infused with many powers, adding the amount of sheer power of these powers, they overpowered even Ling Han Supreme Attack. Ling Han's eyes widened in shock, he looked at the Dao ancestor who had a smile, as if what he did was nothing....
