Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1002 Pioneers and the Unorthodox Alliance
In the third universe, Aizen put down his work and immersed his consciousness in the Dan-channel.

"Brother Lu, is the King about to make his move?"

Aizen seemed to have guessed Lu Li's thoughts, but he didn't seem nervous at all.

"It should be. The High Priest came to see Goku again today. Considering the timing, it's very likely that it's about this."

Lu Li's tone was solemn because he was not actually ready to confront the King of All.

The gap is too big. Even if he can transform into a Super Saiyan and use the Kaioken, he will still be far inferior.

Moreover, the Omni-King is a ninth-order being, and His methods cannot be judged by ordinary standards. It is as if the creator god uses his power to arbitrarily alter things, and thus humanity and the world disappear.

In any case, Lu Li never saw the Omni-King use any means that appeared to be an attack in the original work. The Omni-King always eliminated the target with ease, whether it was a person or a world.

Therefore, Lu Li felt that if he could not find the power to counter the supreme law controlled by the Omni-King, even if his attributes were increased to more than 280 points, it would probably be useless, and he would still be directly erased.

"If Zeno wants to erase the world, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only hope that Goku's persuasion will be successful."

Aizen spoke calmly, continuing to deprogram the androids' genes in preparation for his next wave of evolution.

"Sousuke, you're so calm, do you already have a good plan?"

Lu Li felt that Aizen's composure meant he must have some solution.

However, Aizen's answer disappointed Lu Li this time: "There is no good way. Gods are unreasonable beings. I said before I entered the world that I have no way to deal with those who are as innocent as children. And children can always do cruel things with a naive face."

Aizen had read the original work several times and knew that Zeno's mind wouldn't be easily changed. Even after listening to Goku's advice, Zeno's motivation was essentially that he found it 'interesting'.

Zeno thought the Tournament of Power was fun, so he organized it at Goku's suggestion. Only the winner would be rewarded with the chance to live, while the other universes would be erased.

The decision to erase the universe was made by the Omni-King from the beginning. He would not change his decision because of external factors. At most, Goku's words gave him some inspiration for entertainment, which gave the eight universes a chance to survive.

In fact, although the original work states that Zeno believed the surviving warriors would use the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish to restore all universes to their original state, this was just the Grand Priest's statement. No one knows what Zeno truly thought.

If the surviving warriors are not beings of truth, goodness, and beauty, then they should all be erased? It was Zeno who said the victor could live. If the winner in the end did not wish to restore all universes, and Zeno really erased the last 'selfish and self-serving' victor's universe, then what Zeno said would be nothing but bullshit.

However, Aizen thought this was normal, because that's how children are; their minds change very quickly, and they can easily overturn what they said before. Even Zeno, who said he would eliminate the universe one minute and then said he wouldn't the next, was quite normal.

The problem is that while the Omni-King's capricious nature can be tolerated in this world and universe, it is unacceptable to the explorers.

After reading the Dragon Ball arc, Aizen didn't feel the same excitement about the battles as Lu Li. The more he read, the more he felt that this world was just a game.

If a person's life and death can be reversed at will, then life has no weight, because God can decide a person's life or death at will. If He wants you to die, you must die; if He wants you to live, you can come back to life even if you are dead.

Except in very special circumstances, most people in this world can be resurrected at will, and they do not truly disappear after death, but continue to exist in the form of a soul. When needed, they can be resurrected by a dragon.

Even angels can do the same thing; with a touch of their scepters, you come to life.

At his core, Aizen was originally a Shinigami. It was because of his Shinigami that he understood the weight of life. He could do anything to ascend the throne, but he never believed that life itself was a game.

If he thought life was a game, he wouldn't have wanted to ascend the throne and change the world's mistakes.

Therefore, Aizen felt that trying to influence Zeno's mind was a poor strategy, and even if someone could persuade Zeno, Zeno's promise would be worthless.

Because the Omni-King might say that the universe can continue to exist for a longer period of time when he is in a good mood, or he might see something in the universe that displeases him and simply wipe the world out.

The Zamasu incident is the best example. Goku summoned Zeno to ask for his help, but when Zeno saw Zamasu, he defined the incident as "I'm furious to see such a world" and wiped the world out.

From this incident, Aizen realized that Zeno was like an evil wish-granting machine. Goku wished to him to destroy Zamasu, and Zamasu was indeed destroyed, but the way it was achieved came at a terrible cost.

That's how children are. The King of All Kings can't distinguish the root of evil in things. If He's in a bad mood, He'll take His anger out on innocent people.

To put it another way, Aizen thinks this is similar to a gamer who sees their simulation game in a complete mess and then angrily deletes the save file.

However, in any case, trying to communicate with the Omni-King to beg for survival is unrealistic, and the communication process itself carries extremely high risks, so the explorers will not attempt such a thing.

"Then what should we do? If the Tournament of Power is held as usual, even if one universe wins, one of our two universes will eventually be wiped out."

Lu Li frowned and said.

If you force him to obediently follow the King's wishes and fight him like a monkey in a show, even if he wins, it won't mean anything; Sousuke will still die anyway.

If that's the outcome, he'd rather unleash his full power, swing his sword at Zeno, and see if Zeno bleeds.

"If things really come to a head, Brother Lu, then go all out."

Aizen's voice was calm, "I will also kill you with all my might."

"Sousuke, are you serious? You know perfectly well that I could never do it."

Lu Li could not accept this outcome.

"Of course I'm joking."

Aizen smiled on the other side of his face, "Don't worry, there's still a chance. Eighth-tier explorers are precious spatial resources. Why would the major spaces assign explorers truly fatal missions?"

“This is not funny, Sousuke.”

Lu Li was somewhat speechless. "Let's hear what other moves are in store?"

"While Brother Lu was busy playing combat games in the Seventh Universe, I wasn't idle. Naturally, I did think about how to break through when faced with a desperate situation."

Aizen said, "As I said before, there's no good way to deal with our decision regarding Zeno. The only way to survive safely in this world is to kill Zeno." "That's like saying nothing at all..."

Lu Li said helplessly, "If I could kill the Omni-King, I would have done it long ago. The problem is that we can't possibly defeat the Omni-King, which is why we're worried."

Lu Li originally had no obvious dislike or affection for the Omni-King, but after experiencing this world firsthand, he realized how terrifying a capricious supreme god could be.

The seed was planted in his heart the moment the Omni-King said he would eliminate him.

Moreover, from the perspective of breaking through the world, he also needs to deal with the Omni-King, only in this way can he bring this world into the End Space.

But there's no point in saying more, because they really can't beat the Omni-King. Let alone the Omni-King, even if all the explorers in this world joined forces, they still couldn't defeat the Grand Priest.

Lu Li also peeked at the High Priest from afar today, but it was still a series of question marks, and he couldn't see through him at all. Based on his instinctive speculation, Lu Li felt that the High Priest should have the attributes of the eighth rank, and his combat level might be the highest in this world.

Because Lu Li couldn't see any fighting ability in the Omni-King, but rather that he was more about power. Once he had supreme authority, he no longer needed fighting skills.

Lu Li thought that if the Grand Priest were the supreme god, the world would be more normal and stable. But unfortunately, the Grand Priest also had to obey the Omni-King, because according to the setting, the Omni-King was the true creator god, and everything was created by the Omni-King, including the angels.

"We need allies."

Aizen said, "Brother Riku, you've forgotten that we're not the only ones whose stance is opposed to the Omni-King."

“Oh? You mean the Explorer? I killed one before. Although I think what he said made a lot of sense, I felt that he was slaughtering humans with Zamasu, so I killed him because I didn’t like him.”

Lu Li said, "But, Sousuke, even if the explorers unite, they still can't shake the position of the Omni-King, can they?"

"The explorers are only one aspect. Brother Lu feels that the explorers are not strong enough, but they are certainly intelligent. During Brother Lu's cultivation period, I met quite a few people."

Aizen said with a smile, "Among them are messengers from old friends."

"Old friend?"

Lu Li was somewhat confused. It wasn't surprising that he had some acquaintances in the space, but Aizen had only been in the space for a few worlds, so where would he find any old friends?
"The fact that the other party contacted me but not Brother Lu means that he knows Brother Lu is difficult to communicate with, or perhaps he knows your identity and might not tolerate him."

Aizen said, "That was someone Brother Lu once thought he had killed."

Faces flashed rapidly through Lu Li's mind, and combined with the ancient adversaries he and Aizen had faced together, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

He was somewhat shocked, with disbelief, "A soul singer?"

“It was him. What you saw in hell before was not an illusion or a hallucination. He did make a move then. He didn’t die. Now he’s a rule-breaker.”

Aizen said that when the Soul Singer sent someone to see him before, he was also surprised, but he accepted the other party's deal without hesitation.

Because this has nothing to do with the Pioneer's stance, his first priority is to ensure that he and Brother Lu can survive. As for the Soul Singer's conspiracy as a Wings of Freedom violator, Aizen can temporarily ignore it; it's nothing more than mutual exploitation.

"It really is an old friend from quite a long time ago..."

Lu Li complained, but there was nothing hard to accept. As for hatred or anything like that, there was never anything like that between him and the Soul Singer.

The reason they fought each other back then was simply because they wanted to compete for the spirit seed. In addition, their spatial positions were opposite, so there was no room for them to cooperate.

Things are different now. They have a common enemy and face the same danger of being wiped out. Lu Li is not averse to cooperation; on the contrary, he looks forward to reuniting with old friends.

Undoubtedly, among the many opponents Lu Li has faced in his life, the Soul Singer is definitely a figure who put immense pressure on him back then.

The Soul Singer's strength is not solely due to his possession of the Immortal Seed. Since he survived through means unknown to him, his current strength has likely undergone a complete transformation.

"So, what suggestions does the singer have?"

Lu Li asked, feeling that the singer was underestimating him. Even if the other party came directly to him, he would not kill him.

"He has found the trail of the Dragon God Salama. If we can liberate the Dragon God Salama, it might buy us a lot of time."

Aizen said.

"Dragon God Salama?"

Lu Li was somewhat surprised, "You mean the creators of the Super Dragon Balls?"

He knew that in the Dragon Ball universe, the Dragon Balls had an origin, and it wasn't that any Namekian could create them; creating Dragon Balls also required raw materials.

Generally speaking, the raw materials for Dragon Balls in the universe are made from scraps or fragments of Super Dragon Balls. Simply put, the Namekians do not have the ability to directly create wish-granting balls.

The ability of Shenron to grant wishes is essentially divine power, and since the Namekians are not gods, they could not possibly create a Shenron with divine power out of thin air.

The origin of all Dragon Balls lies in the Super Dragon Balls, which were created by the Dragon God Zalama.

Although the Dragon God Salama never appears in the original work, everyone who has read the comics in the space will feel that the Dragon God Salama is a god with unprecedented power.

There was no other reason than that the dragon he created possessed powers approaching those of the Omni-King. If the Omni-King erased the universe, the Super Shenron could recreate and restore it.

Unlike the Namekians who created the Dragon Balls, the power of those Dragon Balls is not a manifestation of the Namekians' power. In essence, they were not the creators of the Dragon Balls, and the power of the Dragon Balls is not closely related to their own power.

The power of the Super Shenron was naturally bestowed by the Dragon God Zalama, so the Dragon God Zalama could never be like the Namekians, whose power was inferior to that of the Dragon Balls.

The Dragon God Zalama's true form must have been incredibly powerful. As a god from the same era as Zeno, he created the Super Dragon Balls in the 41st year of the Divine Era. However, he has been virtually absent from the universe ever since, and even his legends have vanished.

It can be inferred that the dragon god Salama has been removed from the mainstream pantheon.
