"I understand! However, if it is just a simple strengthening, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. And if it really is an enemy that can destroy Namek then without sufficient strength, the planet would find it hard to withstand the aftermath of combat." After nodding, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I understand! I will have the two Elders gather the Dragon Balls. Please wait a moment, guest." The Great Elder nodded slightly and ultimately agreed.
Although he had resolved not to use the power of the Dragon Balls, the Great Elder was not a rigid person and naturally understood that what Jiang Chen said was the best choice.
"Alright!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
Then he glanced at Kami Piccolo and began to bid farewell to the Great Elder. The Great Elder smiled and nodded, then instructed Nail to lead Jiang Chen away. After leaving the Great Elder's room, Nail curiously looked at Jiang Chen.
"Are you Aspara San?" Nail hesitantly spoke, his gaze sizing up Jiang Chen.
"I am; you are Nail, right?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then curiously looked at the relatively young Namek before him.
If he remembered correctly, the current Nail should be the future number one warrior of Namek. At his peak, his battle power reached as high as 42,000, which was not inferior to most members of the Ginyu Special Force.
He hadn't expected to meet Nail this time after not seeing him last time.
However, in Jiang Chen's perception, Nail's aura should only be around 27,000 to 28,000 right now. He wondered how his strength would reach 40,000 in a few years.
"Yes, I am Nail. Aspara San, it's a pleasure to meet you. I heard from Brother Zuno that you are a powerful warrior. May I ask you for some guidance?" Nail spoke with eagerness, his small face showing excitement.
"Of course!" Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
When he came to Namek, Zuno had given him a lot of guidance, and he didn't mind giving Nail some pointers in return.
After all, he needed to wait for the Dragon Balls to be gathered, so he had time.
A moment later.
In a nearby open space.
Combat quickly erupted.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, he could easily defeat Nail in an instant. However, since it was for guidance, Jiang Chen took the time to spar with Nail properly.
Only then did he defeat Nail.
"Aspara San, you are truly too strong." Nail got up from the ground, unable to help but express his admiration, his eyes shining.
"Train hard, and your strength will improve further." Jiang Chen smiled and spoke.
"Really?" Nail exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course. Namekians have great potential. I have seen a Namekian who was not much weaker than Frieza. His battle power is much stronger than mine now."
Jiang Chen reminisced, thinking of Slug and Piccolo.
In the original story, these two Namekians were undoubtedly powerful.
Slug, needless to say, had a battle power comparable to 50% of Frieza full power.
Piccolo, at his peak level, even without considering the boosts from the Dragon Balls, had energy levels that surpassed most Super Saiyans.
He was truly a top expert in Universe 7.
"I understand. I will definitely become such an expert. No, I want to become even stronger." Nail spoke with determination.
Jiang Chen smiled before speaking. "You can do it!"
His words were filled with encouragement.
While the two were conversing, two figures flew over from a distance. It was the Elder of Namek and Zuno.
"Zuno! Elder!" As they landed, Jiang Chen couldn't help but greet them with a smile.
"It really is you! Aspara!" Seeing Aspara, Zuno's serious expression couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
The Second Elder also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Brother Zuno, Aspara San is indeed very strong." Nail quickly approached Zuno, speaking excitedly.
Zuno patted Nail's head, his expression filled with gratitude as he looked at Jiang Chen.
"Zuno, you also guided me back then; I just helped a little. In the future, how far he can go still depends on Nail himself."Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Still, I thank you for this! This child is very eager to become an excellent warrior." Zuno expressed with emotion.
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"Aspara San, do you need to use the Dragon Balls now?" The Second Elder also revealed a smile, his words carrying a hint of curiosity.
"Right now!" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"Alright! Then let's begin!" The Second Elder nodded, then placed the seven Dragon Balls aside and began the summoning using the Namekian language.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The sky was instantly filled with thick, dark clouds.
Then, the seven massive Dragon Balls burst forth with an intense light, shooting straight up into the sky and breaking through the cloud cover, and a gigantic green dragon appeared above.
"State your wish; I can grant any wish, up to three." Shenron Porunga's voice echoed, and the Second Elder immediately looked at Jiang Chen.
"Second Elder, my first wish is to reinforce Namek as much as possible, making it less susceptible to destruction." With focused intent, Jiang Chen stated his first wish, which was the first thought that came to him upon learning of Namek's impending doom.
The Second Elder was somewhat surprised and was about to speak, but the voice of the Great Elder echoed in his mind, prompting him to nod slightly.
He quickly conveyed the wish.
"This wish can be fulfilled!" Shenron Porunga's voice rang out, and in the next moment, two red beams shot from its eyes, illuminating the entire Namek.
Under the red light from Shenron Porunga's eyes, the entire Namek began to undergo rapid changes.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
A massive tremor spread, and the sky was filled with swirling winds, invisible ripples sweeping across the surroundings. A powerful force continuously surged, an intangible power was being reinforced upon the entire planet.
At that moment, Shenron Porunga was actively strengthening Namek.
Time slowly passed.
After an unknown duration, the red light in Shenron Porunga's eyes gradually faded.
Simultaneously, its booming voice echoed once more.
"Your wish has been granted. However, with my abilities, I can only strengthen Namek by three hundred times, ensuring that any power below the Sixth Dimension cannot cause destruction." The rumbling voice reverberated, leaving Jiang Chen somewhat astonished.
"The Sixth Dimension?" Jiang Chen felt puzzled.
This was the first time he had heard such a term.
Even in his previous life, he didn't recall hearing about dimensions in this context.
Seemingly understanding his confusion, Shenron Porunga continued without waiting for the Second Elder's response.
"This is quite simple. Dimensions are a unified classification of all universes. Generally, mortals are considered the First Dimension, planet guardians are the Second Dimension, King Enma is the Third Dimension, Kaiō is the Fourth Dimension, the Great Kaiō and apprentice Kaiō are the Fifth Dimension, and anything above the Sixth Dimension pertains to the realm of Kaiōshin."
As the words echoed, the booming voice resonated.
Listening to Shenron Porunga's explanation, Jiang Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected that even before using his wish, Shenron Porunga would answer him first.
Amidst his surprise, he finally understood the situation.
Dimensions were likely a hierarchy within the Dragon Ball world. While they might not directly equate to strength, they were certainly related. The strength of a Kaiōshin likely fell between Super Saiyan 1 and 2, but their abilities could far exceed that of Super Saiyan 2.
Anything below the Sixth Dimension could be understood as not being able to destroy Namek.
With this understanding, he felt a sense of relief.
Being able to strengthen Namek to this extent was already quite impressive. At least in the current time and space, there were very few who could destroy Namek.
Not to mention Frieza; even if Cooler in his fourth form came, it would be of no use.
After all, no matter how strong Cooler was, he could not surpass the strength of a Kaiōshin, and since he couldn't surpass it, he naturally couldn't destroy Namek.
For Jiang Chen, this outcome was more than sufficient.
