Jiang Chen's gaze was instantly drawn to the golden light enveloping the object.
"What is this?" As he spoke, Jiang Chen's eyes involuntarily turned to the Great Elder.
"This is the power from Dragon God Zalama. I no longer have use for it, so I'll leave it to you! I hope you can use it well!" The Great Elder's gentle voice resonated in the surroundings.
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he never expected that the object before him was actually the power of Dragon God Zalama.
In the entire Dragon Ball World, if one were to speak of the most mysterious figures, aside from the Kaiōshin of Time, Chronoa, there was only Dragon God Zalama left. In fact, compared to Chronoa, the level of mystery surrounding Dragon God Zalama was even greater.
After all, Chronoa had at least made some appearances, while Dragon God Zalama had never appeared at all.
He had always remained a legend.
In this legend, countless fanfictions in his past life had given him a second chance at creation. Some said that Dragon God Zalama was an existence on par with Zen'ō (King of All), the supreme Spiritual God of the entire universe.
Others said that billions of years ago, Zen'ō (King of All) created all the multiverses, and at that time, Dragon God Zalama was the current Great Priest, always assisting Zen'ō (King of All) and standing by his side.
But he was unwilling to do so as time passed; he saw Zen'ō (King of All)'s destructive skills as terrifying, capable of erasing everything in the world. He desperately wanted to obtain this power, so he attempted to assassinate Zen'ō (King of All) in the Palace Hall.
However, he did not expect that Zen'ō (King of All)'s power far exceeded his own. After being discovered by Zen'ō (King of All), he was directly exiled to the prison of the thirteenth multiverse, where he was imprisoned for billions of years.
Regardless of which version was true, even the weakest one, Dragon God Zalama's strength was undoubtedly at the top level in the entire universe and the entire Dragon Ball Universe.
Of course, Jiang Chen speculated that Dragon God Zalama should belong to the first version. After all, the Super Dragon Balls could resurrect Zen'ō (King of All) and destroy the universe.
If Dragon God Zalama were merely a Great Priest, it would be very difficult for him to achieve that.
Only someone of equal rank to Zen'ō (King of All), or even higher, could possibly do so.
Jiang Chen never expected that the Great Elder possessed the power of Dragon God Zalama.
And at this moment, he was handing it over to him. This was a treatment that even Son Goku had never received in the original story.
Of course, Jiang Chen also understood the situation; in the original story, when Son Goku arrived, the Great Elder was already on the verge of death.
The power of Dragon God Zalama had no chance of being given to Son Goku.
But now, it was different as the Great Elder still had several years of life left, and after considering it, he chose to pass the power of Dragon God Zalama to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's heart surged with emotion before he reached out his right hand to touch the glowing orb.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed, and in the next moment, the golden light instantly merged into Jiang Chen's body.
Soon, a dragon-shaped phantom flickered on his forehead, and Jiang Chen felt a subtle change within himself.
"It seems this power truly suits you!" Seeing Jiang Chen's transformation, the Great Elder couldn't help but sigh, his expression filled with surprise.
Originally, he was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the power of Dragon God Zalama to resonate so well with Jiang Chen. The degree of this resonance even gave him the feeling that it was higher than his own.
It should be noted that even he, when he first received such a powerful inheritance, took nearly a hundred years to reach the initial merging stage.
Yet Jiang Chen had already begun to merge from the very start.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" Feeling the change within himself, Jiang Chen's expression was filled with shock, but after a long while, he took a deep breath and slightly bowed to the Great Elder.
"You don't need to thank me! The one who should be thanking is me." The Great Elder shook his head and spoke with a serious expression on his face.
He then turned his gaze to Piccolo.
"Child of Katatz, do you wish to separate Nail and Zeno?" The Great Elder pondered for a moment before speaking with a question.
"Let's separate them!" Piccolo hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Although assimilating Nail and Zeno had significantly boosted Piccolo's power, this overwhelming strength made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Guest, I may need to trouble you again!" The Great Elder spoke, looking at Jiang Chen.
"Alright!" Jiang Chen glanced at Piccolo in surprise, then nodded in agreement.
For him, separating Nail and the others was not a big problem. A faint light spread out, instantly enveloping Piccolo.
Piccolo's aura began to rapidly decrease before two figures slowly emerged.
Compared to before, Jiang Chen's ability to perform the Spirit Separation Technique was undoubtedly much stronger now as even the power assimilation was separated out.
As the light faded, Zeno and Nail reappeared. However, at this moment, both of their auras were nearly nonexistent.
Their life forces had almost reached their limits.
The Great Elder gently raised his hand, and in the next moment, two green lights enveloped Nail and Zeno.
Streams of vitality began to surge into their bodies, gradually restoring them.
At this moment, Piccolo's aura had already dropped to its lowest point.
"Child of Katatz, come here!" After enveloping Nail and Zeno, the Great Elder turned his gaze to Piccolo and spoke.
Piccolo hesitated slightly but still stepped forward.
"Relax, do not resist!" The Great Elder's gentle voice resonated, and then a huge hand was placed on Piccolo's head.
Watching this scene, Jiang Chen was not overly surprised.
However, while he was waiting, his attention was quickly drawn back.
Because at this moment, unlike the previous potential development, streams of green light were flowing into Piccolo's body from the Great Elder.
"What is this?" Jiang Chen's expression was somewhat astonished.
Amidst his surprise,
"Boom!"
Piccolo's aura suddenly surged at that moment. In an instant, Piccolo's aura had returned to the state it was in before the separation, and it did not stop there.
Piccolo's aura continued to rise.
"Great Elder, you!" Piccolo's previously calm expression changed, his pupils widening as he looked at the Great Elder in disbelief.
The Great Elder merely wore a faint smile.
When the green light finally dimmed, Piccolo's aura had grown to more than four times its original strength before the separation.
"During the great crisis of Namek, I assimilated all the remaining members of my race to survive that crisis. As Namek was restored, I gave birth to these members again. However, some of them have completely merged with me, and even I find it difficult to separate them again. Now that I am nearing death, rather than having them follow me into the afterlife, it is better to leave them for those who need them more."
"I have transferred the remaining Namekian power to you, child of Katatz. Comprehend it well; it will allow you to go further."
The Great Elder spoke with a smile on his face.
"Great Elder!"
Piccolo's expression was complex, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. He never expected that after arriving on Namek, his gains would be so immense.
