"Hey!" Goku suddenly stood up, startling everyone around him. He then shot up into the sky, using the Flight Technique to fly around wildly while shouting loudly, "Yah-hoo~ I won the World Martial Arts Tournament~ Haha~ Hooray~"
The people on the ground looked dumbfounded at Goku, who had just been half-dead but was now full of energy. Krillin muttered, "Senzu beans... they have this effect too? I thought they just filled your stomach..."
Yajirobe rolled his eyes and said, "You don't even know this? You ate them before."
At this moment, Goku, who was celebrating in the sky, suddenly noticed the actions of the Supreme Kai standing next to Piccolo. He exclaimed, "Oh no!" and quickly rushed down, blocking the Supreme Kai's hand just as it was about to strike Piccolo.
"Goku! What are you doing!" The Supreme Kai, who had finally made up his mind to kill Piccolo, was now anxious, fearing that he would lose his resolve to 'commit suicide' if he waited any longer.
"That's what I want to ask you, Supreme Kai. What are you doing?" Goku said seriously.
"This guy hasn't died yet, and we must cut off the root!" The Supreme Kai shouted at Goku.
"No! I'll deal with him later, and if he dies, you will die too."
"But didn't I say that I can be revived by the Dragon Balls!" The Supreme Kai insisted.
At this moment, Jingtian and the three women walked over. Hearing the Supreme Kai's words, Jingtian smiled and said, "Ha~ Supreme Kai, you're breaking the rules by lying."
Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes, he continued, "The Dragon Balls and Shenron were created by you. If you die, both Shenron and the Dragon Balls will disappear, right?"
"What!!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing Jingtian's words, and they all looked at the Supreme Kai with admiration.
Seeing Jingtian reveal the truth, the Supreme Kai helplessly slumped his shoulders, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply, "I've long lost the right to be the Supreme Kai. Both Piccolo and his predecessor, King Piccolo, are my sins. They not only surpassed me in power but also brought chaos to this world. I've long lost the right to be the Supreme Kai; I should die..."
Hearing the Supreme Kai's words, everyone was speechless, unsure of what to say to console him.
At this moment, Master Roshi stepped forward and said solemnly, "But without you, the world wouldn't have returned to peace. If you hadn't created the Dragon Balls, there wouldn't be today's Goku, and we wouldn't have united and grown together..."
Listening to Master Roshi's words, Jingtian was equally moved. Without the Dragon Balls, he wouldn't have come to this world, and he wouldn't have met his love or experienced so many stories.
Thinking about this, Jingtian continued Master Roshi's words to the Supreme Kai, "Master Roshi is right. The Dragon Balls triggered this series of events, and in the end, the world was saved because of the Dragon Balls. So, you don't need to blame yourself. As Goku said, we'll deal with the future when it comes. If Piccolo does evil again, I'm sure Goku will be happy to have another chance to fight him. Right, Goku?"
"Yep! Master Jingtian is right. If Piccolo does evil again, I'll teach him a lesson."
Hearing Jingtian and the others' words, the Supreme Kai finally let go of his last bit of resolve. He closed his eyes, feeling tears of gratitude and relief, then took a deep breath and looked down at Goku, "Goku, you've met the best teacher in the world..."
Goku was taken aback, then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, but sometimes he's a bit..."
"No, no! I only taught him the basics. His achievements are thanks to you and Korin." Master Roshi quickly interrupted, not wanting to be pointed out as a pervert in front of everyone.
The Supreme Kai clearly knew what Goku was about to say and didn't reveal it, instead using a secret technique to create a new Turtle School gi for Goku, "Hehe, only the Turtle School gi suits you best."
At this moment, as Goku was happy, Chi-Chi suddenly burst into tears and rushed over, lifting Goku, who was about her height, like a baby, relieved that he was still alive and that she hadn't become a widow right after marriage...
Amid everyone's amused teasing, Goku finally managed to break free from Chi-Chi and said to Yajirobe, "Give me another Senzu bean."
"What? Still hungry?" Yajirobe, not suspecting anything, threw another Senzu bean to Goku.
Goku caught the Senzu bean and then squatted down, feeding it to the unconscious Piccolo on the ground.
"Hey! Goku! What are you doing!" Krillin and the others were shocked and shouted in alarm.
The originally unconscious Piccolo swallowed the Senzu bean subconsciously, then suddenly opened his eyes and quickly jumped away. Realizing what had happened, he looked at Goku with a complex expression.
"If you die, the Supreme Kai will disappear, and I would be lonely without you as my opponent," Goku explained to Piccolo.
"Hmph! Don't blame me for not warning you. You're too naive, and you'll pay with your life! One day, I will kill you and rule this world again!" Piccolo, to emphasize his point, raised his right hand and clenched his fist in front of Goku.
Then, ignoring Krillin and the others' shouts of ingratitude and regret, Piccolo turned and flew away, shouting from a distance, "Enjoy your remaining days until we meet again!"
Seeing Piccolo disappear, the Supreme Kai said to Goku, "Goku, take my place as the Supreme Kai. Your character is worthy of living in the Supreme Kai's Palace."
"Ah? No way! Flying Nimbus~" Goku was shocked. He didn't want to be trapped in the Supreme Kai's Palace for life, so he quickly called the Flying Nimbus, pulled Chi-Chi onto it, and flew away as if escaping, his voice echoing from a distance, "You continue being the Supreme Kai. Everyone, goodbye~"
Jingtian watched Goku and Chi-Chi fly away and laughed, "Haha, this kid is still as impulsive as ever."
"Yeah... Haha," everyone laughed along.
Seeing the matter finally resolved, Jingtian asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Krillin and the others looked at each other, and Tien spoke up, "Of course, we'll train even harder. We've fallen far behind Goku, and I want to surpass him and have a good fight with him next time we meet."
"Me too!" "Me too!" Krillin and Yamcha echoed with determination.
Jingtian looked at Master Roshi, who, getting the hint, said, "Since that's the case, follow me back to the Turtle Island. There are some things your Master Jingtian has prepared for you..."
"Huh? What things?" they asked curiously.
"Haha... You'll see when we get there," Master Roshi teased.
Then, everyone said their goodbyes. The Supreme Kai and Yajirobe returned to the palace, Jingtian took the three women home, and the rest followed Master Roshi.
"Everyone, come visit us when you have time. Master Roshi, if you need anything, just call me, and I'll bring it to you." Seeing everyone respond, Jingtian got into the flying car Bulma had prepared and, with a roar of the engine, headed back to the city...
