Chapter 140: A Brand New Identity!

Chapter 140: A Brand New Identity!

Mu Chuan's reaction did not surprise Whis. In fact, from his response, Whis instantly knew what he was thinking.

Whis shook his head slightly, "Things aren't as you imagine. The reason you're given the identity of a 'Trainee God of Destruction' is because you've comprehended the power of destruction."

"To comprehend the power of destruction on your own shows that your talent is quite impressive, and you have the potential to become a God of Destruction."

"As for whether you can truly become one, that depends on what happens next."

Hearing this, Mu Chuan felt a strange sense of relief.

It's just an identity, nothing more. If it had been about replacing Beerus, he truly wouldn't know what Beerus might do. Besides, his current strength was nowhere near enough to defeat Beerus.

Now that he understood he wasn't replacing Beerus, Mu Chuan's curiosity was piqued. What rights did this 'Trainee God of Destruction' come with? And what were the obligations?

Mu Chuan voiced his questions.

"The rights are simple. You can exercise some of the duties of a God of Destruction. Of course... during this time, I will act as your teacher."

Almost as soon as Whis finished speaking, Mu Chuan quickly said, "I'm willing!!"

How could he hesitate over something like this?

Even a second's hesitation would be seen as doubting Whis.

Having an angel as a teacher, especially one who taught a powerful God of Destruction like Beerus, would certainly bring him knowledge unlike any other.

He had been worrying about how to proceed with his training and improve his combat strength. With Whis's guidance, at the very least, things would be much easier in many aspects.

He wouldn't have to stumble through everything blindly.

Faced with Mu Chuan's swift response, Whis was momentarily taken aback, but then he laughed softly.

"Don't you want to know what obligations you'll have to bear?"

Whis looked at Mu Chuan with a half-smile.

Mu Chuan responded frankly, "As long as it's not too difficult, I don't think it'll be a problem. After all, being taught by you, Whis, is a blessing for me."

Whis didn't take this straightforward compliment to heart.

Putting away his smile, a rare seriousness crossed his face. This was the first time Mu Chuan had seen such an expression on him since they met.

Seeing this, Mu Chuan also became serious.

"The obligation is simple: serve Universe 7. Of course, it's not about doing everything, but when you're called upon, I hope you won't refuse."

"In short, you must fight for Universe 7."

At that moment, Mu Chuan seemed to understand something.

If he hadn't been clear at the start, Whis's explanation made everything fall into place.

Mu Chuan nodded seriously.

"It would be my honor!"

"For us Saiyans, combat is the most enjoyable experience, and only through fighting can we truly improve our combat strength."

"Otherwise, how could we be called the warrior race?"

"Having evenly matched battles—those are the ones I look forward to, the kind I can't wait for!"

He expressed his genuine thoughts, not as a way to show off in front of Whis, but as his true belief.

In the world of Dragon Ball, without formidable strength, one is merely cannon fodder.

His combat power was already terrifying to most people, but it still hadn't reached a certain level—he could only be considered third-rate at best.

As for stepping into the major leagues...

That would require more training. Going at it alone wasn't enough since his methods were self-taught.

With Whis's help, his progress would definitely accelerate!

...

After a simple confirmation, Mu Chuan officially became a Trainee God of Destruction. While Beerus was in slumber, Mu Chuan would assume the duties of the God of Destruction.

Bringing destruction to the universe!

Destruction, after all, is about eliminating all burdensome planets.

Too many planets would be a burden on the universe as a whole.

Only by destroying select planets could the universe truly enter a healthy cycle, preventing overcrowding.

The Kaioshin brings life.

The God of Destruction brings destruction.

These two deities complement each other, creating the cycle of every universe.

When Whis wasn't instructing him, Mu Chuan spent most of his time training. The divine power he attained after reaching the Divine Realm still needed more time to be fully understood and absorbed.

Although his combat strength had improved, he hadn't fully and independently transformed into the Divine Realm.

Every time he tried to enter the Divine Realm, he experienced a strange sensation. Though his combat power increased, entering a profound state of existence, it wasn't truly the Divine Realm.

It felt as though he was only halfway there, which deeply troubled him. So, in addition to his own understanding, he occasionally observed Beerus.

After all, Beerus was a living God of Destruction!

Perhaps he could learn something from watching him?

"What exactly is the problem?"

"The Divine Realm... could it only be reached after a leap in the level of one's life?"

Mu Chuan sat cross-legged nearby, feeling quite distressed. Not only had he encountered obstacles with the Divine Realm, but his combat strength had also stagnated.

He had no idea where to start.

At that moment, Whis appeared beside him.

"Judging by your troubled expression, you must have encountered some difficulties?"

"Why not share your confusion? Perhaps I can help resolve it."

Hearing Whis's voice, Mu Chuan immediately perked up.

"Master Whis!"

"The thing is, I previously reached the Divine Realm through the combined power of other Saiyans, but now that I don't have that energy from others, I can't seem to understand it on my own."

"It always feels like I've only gotten halfway."

"Do you have any advice on how I can solve this, Master Whis?"

Mu Chuan laid out his problem. After all, wasn't becoming a Trainee God of Destruction meant for moments like this?

Having someone guide him and show him the way would save him a lot of trouble and give him a clearer goal.

Whis wasn't surprised by his issue.

"Actually, mastering the Divine Realm and divine power isn't difficult. While you've already grasped the power of destruction, divine power is equally important."

"Previously, you felt the power of all the Saiyans. Now, I'll let you feel a purer form of divine power."

"Once you experience it, I believe you'll gain your own understanding."

As Whis finished speaking, he tapped his staff, and a wave of pure divine power surged into Mu Chuan's body.

In an instant, Mu Chuan froze.
