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

Chapter 995 A Perfect Ending, Undercurrents Targeting the Omni-King
The natives could calmly accept or laugh off the fact that the Omni-King had erased the universe.

If they wish for the universe to reappear, they can collect the Super Dragon Balls to restore it; it's all like a game.

But for explorers, it's a different story; it's a rather serious and terrifying matter.

Faced with a supreme ruler who is as capricious as a child, who can erase their universe at the slightest displeasure, even explorers whose identities are embedded in the universe at the start of the game cannot escape the power of tracing back to the source.

Therefore, in the eyes of the explorers, the Omni-King is definitely not some innocent and cute eraser child, but a demon who could kill them at any time.

The worst part is that they've read the original story and know that the Omni-King wanted to erase eight universes. If it weren't for Goku's cleverness, those eight universes wouldn't even have had a chance to survive.

"Now you should know why I did this."

Shenyin looked at Lu Li's expression and knew that Lu Li had understood the great terror involved. "I helped Zamasu because I felt that he had a certain potential. If he could climb up, he might have a chance to kill the Omni-King."

"Him? Zamasu? Are you serious?"

Lu Li's eyes revealed absurdity.

Shenyin sighed, "Who knew he would be so useless? Now that you've caught up with him, it seems you've already broken through his immortality and infinite splitting abilities."

He actually knew who Lu Li was after watching Lu Li fight and meeting him in person.

Some time ago, he heard that there was a competition in the space, and an explorer named Prisoner of the End Space won. It is said that Prisoner of the End Space is the most promising and also the most dangerous man in the nine spaces.

In fact, he should have realized that Zamasu's body was so abnormal that Lu Li was definitely not an ordinary person, but he did not expect Lu Li's original body to be so excessive.

Shenyin originally thought that Zamasu's fusion and infinite splitting might be a way out. After all, referring to the shadow clones, collective training might lead to a qualitative change in energy.

Zamasu was crushed to death by Lu Li before he could even take off.

"That thing has no chance against the Omni-King. Even if I let him go, he will continue to grow stronger indefinitely. At most, he can only defeat some Gods of Destruction. He would have a hard time even getting past the Angels."

Lu Li said that he even felt that Beerus could destroy Zamasu if he went all out.

Although Beerus is lazy and a glutton, he is indeed very strong. In his battle with Lu Li, Lu Li always felt that Beerus was not serious enough.

Last time when they clashed, Beerus used a little force and Lu Li was almost crushed.

Lu Li's strength has greatly increased, and he can now maintain the state of divine restraint. However, he dares not say that he has already defeated Beerus. After all, Beerus also knows Ultra Instinct and can unleash his full power when he gets serious. His attributes are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Therefore, even if Beerus cannot completely kill Zamasu, it is not difficult for him to achieve perfect suppression.

"Is that so? Anyway, you've already taken care of him, so there's no point in talking about it anymore."

Shenyin said nonchalantly, "Do you want to kill me, or let me go?"

“When Goku asked me to let Zamasu go, I said that Zamasu’s crimes were too numerous to count and he should pay the price.”

Lu Li said in a calm tone.

Shenyin nodded. "I understand. You have more integrity than most people in the space, which is perhaps why you are so powerful."

"Not begging for mercy?"

Lu Li found Shenyin very interesting.

"I have already failed. I would rather die at the hands of someone like you than be wiped out by Zeno in some inexplicable way."

As Shenyin spoke, she closed her eyes.

Lu Li nodded, then turned around. Before he could walk away, the blade had already struck.

Shenyin's head fell on this desolate planet, ending his long life as an explorer.

Lu Li walked through the starry sky and returned to Earth. Looking at the surviving humans on Earth, he felt a mix of emotions.

Shenyin is right. If they can't solve the problem of Zeno, things might be alright for them, but Aizen is going to die.

Even if he had Goku try to outwit Zeno and Zeno agreed to hold the Tournament of Power, there would only be one winner in the tournament.

If he lives, Aizen will die.

Having realized this, Lu Li felt a sense of urgency. He had to become stronger, strong enough to break through this world, strong enough to resist all the irrationality.

…………

Meanwhile, within the main spacetime, in the fourth universe.

On a remote planet where life is just beginning, the land is covered with vegetation and the natural environment is beautiful, but it is deserted.

On this planet, beside a tranquil lake, stands an ancient Greek-style palace, which seems quite incongruous.

On the lakeside, a man wearing a blue wool sweater sat there, admiring the scenery of the lake.

He held a harp in his arms, his pale fingertips gliding across the strings, playing a mournful tune that even the fish in the lake were plunged into a quiet sorrow.

A figure appeared behind the man in an instant, tall and powerful, wearing heavy knight's armor.

He walked to the man's side, standing casually, but a hint of apprehension flickered in his peripheral vision as he glanced at the man.

"Shenyin is dead, he died in a parallel universe in the future. He failed."

"That's what the man in knight's attire said."

"Really? What a pity."

The man in blue continued playing his harp, the music mournful, yet his tone carried no trace of sorrow.

"Aren't you going to ask him how he died?"

"That's what the knight said."

“His plan was doomed to fail from the start. He asked me for guidance, and I told him how to proceed, but he still stuck to his original idea.”

The man in blue said, "Zamas is just a clown; you can't expect to defeat the Supreme God with a clown."

"The one who killed him was not the main characters, nor the God of Destruction; the one who defeated Zamasu was the Explorer."

The male knight said, "You may have heard of him. He is the Prisoner of Demons. He is a newly promoted eighth-rank, but he is not to be trifled with. His improvement speed is extremely fast, and he already has the strength of the late eighth-rank."

"Prisoner of Demons?"

The man in blue paused in his strumming of the strings, causing the music to become slightly disordered.

"Have you seen him?"

The male knight asked curiously, because he knew that the man in front of him was a rule-breaker, and an extremely dangerous and ruthless one at that.

No one knows when he began his rise to power, but after the man before them joined the Wings of Freedom, he became a supernova within a few months. It's said that many powerful figures in the Outlaws faction have high hopes for him. This is because during his first invasion of a world controlled by Space as an Outlaw, the man before them killed a Pioneer and an Arbiter, defeating them both single-handedly without any suspense.

The hunter became the prey before him, and he merely played a mournful tune after turning the tables, then gracefully departed to the sound of his zither.

The male knight's nickname is the Holy Judge, the arbiter of the divine realm. He actually had a mission to hunt down the man in front of him, which is why he sought him out. However, he changed his mind after meeting him.

The man convinced him that his life was more important than the boring and impossible hunting mission, and that under the unreasonable threat of the Omni-King, they shouldn't fight each other, but rather try to survive first.

That was a long time ago.

The blue-clad man's smile was meaningful, but it puzzled the judge greatly.

Because the Holy Judgment couldn't think of any reason why a man like this could coexist peacefully with a demon after they met.

In his view, the Demon Prisoner should be a judge or a pioneer, and when the Demon Prisoner meets the ruthless violator before him, one of them should surely die.

"What to do next?"

The Holy Judgment asked, "It's still uncertain whether the Tournament of Power can be held smoothly. I don't want to die suddenly without even having a chance to struggle."

"Don't worry, the Tournament of Power will proceed smoothly. Go to Universe 9 for me again and have a talk with that guy."

The man in blue put down his harp, picked up a fishing rod, and began to bait the hook. "You know, those people would fight me if they saw me. You're more suitable to talk to them than I am."

The judge's expression was complicated, because he was also a judge, yet he was now following the orders of a violator, which had betrayed his own principles.

The space gave him a hunting mission that required him to kill the man in front of him. The penalty for failure was -1 point in all attributes, but he couldn't do the mission because he didn't want to die.

He neither wanted to be killed by the man in blue nor to be erased by the Omni-King, so he had no choice but to fight back.

"The Dao Yan of Hongmeng... He is the holder of the Heavenly Dao Spirit Seed, right? Rumor has it that he is an arrogant person. Will he really cooperate with us?"

Saint Judgment said worriedly, "Wouldn't it be better for us to go to the Fifth Universe to find Chaos's Tianhuang instead of Daoyan? As the holder of the Ancient Spirit Seed, he is equally powerful and simple-minded, making him easier to persuade."

The man in blue swung his fishing rod back, then cast it, and the bait was pulled by the weight and sank to the bottom of the lake. "I told you to go find Dao Yan, not because of the Spirit Seed. If having a Spirit Seed made you invincible, I wouldn't be talking to you here."

The judge didn't quite understand what the man in blue was saying, but he didn't press the matter further.

He suddenly sensed that the man in blue had entered a strange state, as if he were reminiscing about the distant past, and the atmosphere emanating from him was so intense that no one dared to break it.

So he nodded, turned and left, saying, "I will try my best to persuade him."

After the judge left, the man in blue looked at the calm lakeside, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, a breeze picked up, and the lake surface rippled.

…………

Main timeline, seventh universe, Earth, Bulma's family manor.

The time machine turned back, and Bulma rushed forward anxiously. Seeing that her husband was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, where's Mr. Lu?"

When Bulma discovered that someone was missing when she returned—Trunks wasn't there—she wasn't confused. After all, Trunks was from the future, and once things were resolved, he naturally stayed in his own world.

"He said he had some things to take care of, so he stayed there. The Supreme Kai will bring him back."

Vegeta said, "Don't worry, we've already resolved the matter with Trunks perfectly."

He knew that Bulma wasn't worried about Lu Li at all, but rather wondering if they hadn't handled the future well since they were missing a person.

"I see. It's good that things are resolved. I hope Trunks doesn't come back."

Bulma said with a smile that as a mother, she naturally hoped Trunks could be safe and happy, rather than constantly being in the midst of war, being abused at every turn, and then having to ask for help.

"Well, to be honest, we weren't able to help at all this time. I still need to continue to cultivate and become stronger."

Goku remarked with a sigh, "In the end, he went to the future and only had a sparring match with Vegeta. They could do that kind of thing all the time."

This greatly disappointed Goku, who felt that he could only enjoy more battles by working harder and becoming stronger.

“Dad is right, I will continue my spiritual practice.”

Gohan nodded and said that, but as soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone, which he had left in the time machine, rang. After answering the call, he learned that an academic seminar was about to begin, so he immediately took off and left the scene.

Seeing this, Goku scratched his head. "I wanted to spar with Gohan, why did he leave?"

"Gohan has his own training methods, Kakarot. You should think about how to defeat me first."

Vegeta remarked from the sidelines, "Clearly, after winning once, he's feeling pretty good about himself now."

Just as the group from the main timeline returned and were celebrating their victory at Bulma's house, Trunks was also saying goodbye to Lu Li in the future timeline.

Trunks was followed by the future rebels, and then by the surviving humans. They all looked at Lu Li standing on the ruins and felt as if the man was enveloped in a holy light as the sun rose.

If people looked at Lu Li with gratitude and respect, then when they looked at the person beside him, it revealed extreme hatred and disgust.

Zamas was being suppressed by Lu Li and kept by his side. At this moment, people began to throw stones and excrement at Zamas.

Zamas was numb, unable to resist Lu Li's suppression, and just stood there blankly as people spit on him and threw dirty things at him.

Trunks stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lu Li. "Although saying this might upset my father, I still want to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Lu. It is all thanks to you that our world has been restored to peace and that Zamasu has received the punishment he deserves."

“He was using my body to do evil, and I should get rid of him.”

Lu Li said, then patted Trunks on the shoulder, "From now on, this world depends on you."

Trunks felt the weight of his burden, and at the same time, a sense of responsibility made his eyes unwavering.

"I will definitely protect everyone. I will work hard to cultivate my skills and learn from Mr. Lu in the field of swordsmanship!"

Trunks expressed his determination.

Lu Li nodded with satisfaction and took out a book, "Perhaps it can give you some inspiration."

Trunks flipped through a few pages of the book and was shocked to find that it contained Lu Li's insights on sword cultivation. He was about to look up and thank Lu Li when he discovered that Lu Li, Zamasu, and the Supreme Kai had all disappeared.

At this moment, Lu Li had already had Xin take him and Zamasu back to the main timeline, as Xin was going back to the Supreme Kai Realm to summarize the incident.

Lu Li, meanwhile, pulled Zamas and re-entered the subspace.

He hasn't yet fully explored Zamasu's value, and he also needs to study the newly acquired Saiyan bloodline.
