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

Chapter 1046 Frieza After Extensive Training

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Beerus continued, "In short, the substances that can prolong life are not all the same. If you continue to absorb the same substance, the effect will weaken and eventually become completely ineffective. After God has absorbed all the longevity substances in the universe, he will begin to approach the end of his life."

"I see. So, after Lord Beerus dies of old age, will he enter the afterlife?"

Gohan asked a very insightful question.

Beerus was stumped by the question, because he himself had never died and had never thought about what would happen after his death.

As a God of Destruction, death seems to be a very distant thing. The greatest possibility of death was being erased by Zeno. And disappearing in that way would be a true disappearance, and it's not even known whether it counts as death.

"Will not."

At this moment, Whis spoke up, answering the question for Beerus.

"Lord Beerus's soul will simply dissipate and disappear, right?"

Lu Li chimed in from the side, his eyes seeming to have seen through everything.

Weiss nodded. "That's right. The true limit of lifespan is not only related to the physical body, but also to the soul. In the long course of life, the soul will gradually come to an end. When one dies peacefully at the theoretical limit, the soul will dissipate and will not enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Ah! So, strictly speaking, those who go to the afterlife don't die of old age?"

Wukong snapped out of his daze and said.

"That's true. It was Mr. Lu Li who brought up this topic today that made me think about it. I'm afraid, as Mr. Lu Li said, everyone has the potential for longevity, but it hasn't been developed yet. So their souls remain intact after death and can enter the afterlife for reincarnation."

Weiss said thoughtfully, "And when the soul reaches its limit after continuous reincarnation, it will completely disappear, becoming pure soul energy and returning to heaven and earth."

"Weiss, you've lived a long time, have you ever seen a soul that has completely vanished?"

Lu Li asked.

"Let me think... It seems there is. The earliest soul I remember knowing was from 1.9 billion years ago, and when I went to the afterlife last time to take inventory, I found that the soul had disappeared. It must have reached its end."

Weiss said that because Lu Li had assigned the angels the task of reviving the humans who died in the great war, he had been frequently traveling to the afterlife recently and had come to pay attention to things he hadn't noticed before.

"I see……"

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. In fact, many people have thought about what happens after death while they are alive.

If there is reincarnation, then is there a limit to the number of times a soul can be reincarnated?

Now he understands that unless one truly comprehends the mysteries of immortality, every living being has its limits. Whether alive or dead, the soul will one day reach its end.

Beerus lives a long life, but he too will eventually reach the end, at which point he will not even have the chance to be reincarnated.

Ordinary people may seem to have short lifespans, but in reality, their souls are immortal and can be reincarnated for many years, only to eventually be exhausted.

Lu Li thought of the Super Cell he had defeated today, and the Cell who was defeated during Dragon Ball Z. What principle under which the true spirit of these androids created from scratch was born?
Majin Buu split into two. Fat Buu followed Mr. Satan, while Buu was reincarnated as a good person, Uub, by Goku's wish using Shenron. So, how does it work that the soul split into two and the true spirit became a separate individual?
Lu Li suddenly realized that the more he knew, the more ignorant he became; the mysteries of truth seemed to be endless.

After chatting about cultivation for a while, Lu Li took out immortal-grade ingredients to treat everyone to a banquet. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Li also gave some pointers on their cultivation, pointing out their various shortcomings in battle.

Weiss watched from the side, feeling a mix of emotions. After all, in the grand scheme of his life, not long ago Lu Li was a weakling who couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes while cultivating under his tutelage.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Li had become an unparalleled master capable of defeating his father, the High Priest, a truly astonishing speed of his progress.

Lu Li stayed with Beerus for a few days before returning to Earth with Goku and Vegeta.

Regarding their training plans, Goku and his son, along with Vegeta, decided to enter the subspace with Lu Li, while Broly decided to continue his training with Beerus.

Those who had been away from home for a long time returned to their respective families to enjoy a reunion, while Lu Li went to the Demon Realm to test Ah Huo's cultivation progress.

After Ah Huo obtained Buu's Devouring Power, he can also improve by devouring Zamasu. I believe his attributes will catch up quickly afterward.

In addition, Lu Li discovered that Ah Huo had transformed into a dragon, but he was still ridiculously fat, like a Zeppelin airship, and had none of the agility of a dragon.

As Lu Li's pet beast, Lu Li carefully checked the menu. He could make a wish to Ah Huo once a year. Ah Huo could use the power passed down from the Dragon God to grant one wish that did not exceed Ah Huo's own power level.

Lu Li personally didn't have any wishes for Ah Huo, after all, the sixth universe was erased by Zeno, Ah Huo's power could not be restored, and other small wishes were not very meaningful to him.

Moreover, as he said before, he does not intend to abuse the power of the Dragon Balls. If Aizen needs it, he can use Ah-Huo to do some necessary operations.

After confirming with the Great Witch and Neba that Ah Huo now possessed full power, he took Ah Huo and left the Demon Realm.

The next day, they had a long-awaited gathering at Bulma's estate, and after laughing and joking, they went their separate ways.

Having made up their minds, Goku and Vegeta followed Lu Li into the subspace. Gohan originally wanted to come along too, but Goku lectured him, saying that Pan was in her childhood and shouldn't always be unable to see her father.

Before, Gohan was either doing academic work or training with Beerus, and he rarely went home. Now that he's back, he should spend more time with his children.

Gohan never expected that he would be lectured like this by Goku, but he still readily agreed. He planned to stay home with his family for a month before going to the subspace to train, and then he would follow Vegeta's example and train for a year and rest for one day.

After Lu Li led Goku and Vegeta into the subspace, he released Ah Huo to find a Zamasu clone that he had prepared in advance for a meal.

Without saying a word, he pointed with both hands at Vegeta and Goku's foreheads.

"What is this?" Vegeta wondered what Lu Li had done.

“I have injected some longevity substances into your bodies so that you will not easily exhaust your lifespan here.”

Lu Li said that his Primordial Spirit Seed had reached its peak, enabling him to do many amazing things. For example, he could share his longevity substances with others to extend their lifespan.

This feeling was similar to him being able to manually create universal longevity pills and related items. In a sense, this was also a way to make money. However, Lu Li felt that there weren't many people in the space who would buy longevity pills, and for him now, the money he could earn was only a small amount.

And so, Lu Li began to train Goku and Vegeta in the subspace.

Goku and Vegeta's comprehension is exceptional, and with Lu Li being a super master teacher, they only spent a thousand years in the subspace and had already begun to understand the principles of how longevity substances affect them.

Of course, during this time, it was Lu Li who replenished their lifespans; otherwise, with the lifespan of Saiyans, they would have died of old age long ago.

The same applies to Gohan, who later joined the training. He had great potential, but his understanding was not necessarily as strong as his father's or Vegeta's. After a thousand years of training, he still couldn't grasp the essentials, although his strength increased a lot.

Saiyans already level up very quickly, but now that they've been entangled in the subspace for a thousand years, you can imagine how terrifying that would be.

This is because most of the time they spent comprehending the longevity substance and refining their own cultivation techniques; otherwise, their values ​​would all have exceeded 270 points.

Over the years, Lu Li passed on his martial arts classics to Vegeta and the others, and also reminded them that they could practice and refer to his techniques, but ultimately they had to make their own changes.

A thousand years have passed, and a few have finally entered the path. Now, each of them has cultivated a plot of land, observing the origin and end of life every day, hoping to master the method of producing longevity substances on their own.

Seeing that Vegeta and the others were on the right track, Lu Li was quite pleased. He had not been without gains over the past thousand years.

Every day, he would pick a leaf from the grove he had planted. As he picked the leaf, leaves would fall from the other trees at the same time, as if there was some inexplicable connection between them.

Even today, as Lu Li walks through the forest, each step revealing a cycle of decay and renewal, the entire forest simultaneously transitioning between life and death.

As the soul's intent caressed the trees, like a gentle breeze rippling the waves, the trees swayed between withering and flourishing amidst the rustling sound, and Lu Li's hair shifted between black and white.

Finally, Lu Li headed towards the exit of the subspace. While everyone else was focused on their cultivation, he hadn't gone out for a long time and wanted to explore the universe.

But just as Bulma said, he seemed to have a certain event-related constitution. He had only been on Earth for two days when another major event occurred.

Because Wukong and his companions have been focused on enlightenment in recent years, they can no longer practice one day and rest the next as they did in the beginning. They often spend decades meditating at a time, which means for their families, it means not going home for a month or two.

So when Lu Li was wandering around Earth, he visited various old friends and told Chi-Chi, Delilah, and Bulma about Goku and the others' situation.

During this process, he was filmed by a surveillance robot at Bulma's house.

This wouldn't normally be a problem, but Bulma's surveillance robot was recently taken over by a hacker from Frieza's army lurking on Earth, and as a result, the intelligence was transmitted into space.

After the Tournament of Power, because Frieza performed well, Whis kept his promise and removed the halo from Frieza's head.

Ten years have passed, and Frieza's army has been quite well-behaved in the universe all these years. This is mainly because after the catastrophe, many criminals have begun to feel that there is no point in robbing others.

Frieza, having learned his lesson, went to a training ground. He realized that as long as one's strength was insufficient, one would inevitably suffer humiliation no matter what. It was better to utilize his talent and work hard to wash away the shame.

The king is a smart man. Despite his arrogance, he knows the gap between himself and a super freak like Lu Li. So this time, he not only wants to cultivate, but also to cultivate properly for a long time. It's not as simple as just doing push-ups.

Frieza was quite lucky. After several years of hard work, he unexpectedly found an entrance to a warp, where he devoted himself to cultivation for thousands of years, eventually becoming so powerful that even he found it somewhat terrifying.

This is the advantage of race. Frieza's race is naturally strong and long-lived. From this perspective, Saiyans are not really that superior.

Some time ago, Frieza emerged from seclusion and found the Frieza Legion, which had been dormant for many years, and began to investigate Lu Li's whereabouts.

Upon investigation, Frieza discovered that Lu Li had been cultivating in the subspace and had aged eight or nine years prior. He then reappeared in the mortal realm, appearing even older.

Perhaps Lu Li has already died of old age, which is why he hasn't appeared in the universe.

Upon hearing this news, Frieza was quite disappointed, because he had endured loneliness and worked hard to cultivate all these years, hoping to repay Lu Li for the humiliation he had suffered many times over.

But now his subordinates are telling him that Lu Li may have died of old age, which has greatly frustrated the king.

Because you can't take revenge on a dead person, especially someone you hate who died of old age, which makes it even more painful.

It's understandable that Frieza would think that way, since Lu Li's first appearance after the Tournament of Power was when he had a full head of white hair, and he looked even older when he appeared to fight Cell the second time.

Frieza himself had trained in the Warp Space and knew that time flowed quickly there. He also knew that humans and Saiyans were races with short lifespans, so he thought it would be normal for Lu Li to die of old age.

He hated his own carelessness, for focusing on his own cultivation and forgetting that Lu Li might have a short lifespan, which caused him to miss the opportunity for revenge. He couldn't very well go to the other world to fight Lu Li now; that would give him no sense of accomplishment.

After suffering for several weeks, the king suddenly realized that since he couldn't take revenge on Lu Li, he might as well destroy the Earth that Lu Li hated. Then he could kill some Saiyans and his old enemies, which would be a way to vent his anger.

As for Beerus, the God of Destruction of this universe, he is no longer taken seriously by the current King Frieza. Just kidding, he is Frieza, a genius who has been seriously cultivating for thousands of years. Now, he only has Lu Li as his opponent.

And so, the scene before Lu Li's eyes came to be.

He was lounging in a rocking chair by the pool, wearing sunglasses and sipping an iced soda, when he saw spaceships appearing in the sky above Earth, and the rabble of Frieza's army already forming a standard invasion formation.
