Chen Rui, who was lying on top of the dragon's head, gradually felt a wave of sleepiness coming, closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

……

【The Boundary of Time】

I don't know how long I slept, Chen Rui had a dream.

He dreamed that he was back in the universe where he was, and that there were no enemies again. Life is peaceful, occasionally training with Goku and Vegeta, or taking the whole family out on a trip......

As the days passed, his daughter Xiaoling slowly grew up, met the person she liked, and entered the palace of marriage and gave birth to a lovely little grandson.

Chen Rui and Boomer are getting old, full of children and grandchildren, happy and happy, and the old Chen Rui accompanied Boomer to the end of his life and passed away peacefully together......

"Are you the warrior who was summoned?"

In the haze, Chen Rui heard a voice asking him, and suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"it?!"

As soon as Chen Rui woke up, he immediately found that something was wrong, he couldn't feel his body anymore!

At this moment, an old, familiar voice sounded.

"Chen Rui! Wake up! ”

"Pete?!" Chen Rui was shocked, and then gradually felt his own body.

……

On an altar made of white boulders stood an old man and a young man. The old ones are white-haired old men in black robes, and the young ones are young men in leather clothes, carrying long swords on their backs, and short hair with purple watermelon heads.

An old man and a young man were staring at a silvery white ball of light on the altar.

Brush!!!

The silver-white light exploded, and a little boy fell from mid-air to the ground from the altar.

The little boy opened his eyes, looked at the old and young in front of him and exclaimed, "Pete?!" Tenanx?! This...... What's going on?! ”

"Huh?! Do you know me? ”

Tenanx looked at Chen Rui suspiciously, and then looked at "Pete" in black robe and asked, "What's going on?" Grandpa Tippy? There seems to be something wrong with the warriors who came this time. ”

Old Man Teppi smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "It's okay, Tenanx." I'll leave it to me. ”

Chen Rui looked around suspiciously, and when he heard the words of the old man Tepi, he moved his gaze to him and asked, "What's going on?" You're not Pete and Tenanx of my universe! Where the hell is this? Who are you? ”

The old man Teppi beckoned to Chen Rui and said softly, "Don't worry, Chen Rui." You put on your clothes first, then come with me, and I'll tell you everything!" ”

"What?!"

When Chen Rui heard this, he noticed that he was naked, and his body actually changed back to the appearance of his childhood.

Old Man Tepi waved his black robe, and a small set of Turtle Immortal Stream martial arts clothes appeared on the ground. Chen Rui grabbed his hair, although his mind was messy, he still obediently put on his clothes and walked under the altar with Old Man Tippi and Tenanx.

"Where are we going? When are you going to answer my question?! And how did I become like this? ”

"Don't worry, when I take you around the Realm of Time, you'll understand soon."

Since everyone said to tell Chen Rui later, Chen Rui had no other way, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and follow the two of them to walk around the realm of time.

……

The Time Realm is an independent world located at the very center of all Dragon Ball worlds.

There are warriors from all planes here, in order to protect history from being disturbed by some evil guys.

【Street of Time】

Along the way, Chen Rui curiously observed the surrounding environment, the architectural style here is the standard semi-circular building of the Dragon Ball world, and there are robots made by Boomer in the GT world everywhere on the street, as well as demons, Nameks, earthlings, and Saiyans...... And so on, all kinds of people gather here.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Chen Rui and the three of them came to a gate made of white boulders, and the plaque on the gate read the Palace of Time.

"This is where the King of Time and the Old Man Teppi live." Tenanx introduced Chen Rui.

Chen Rui nodded, with an expression on his face. All he wanted to know was what the hell was going on here. How can he think about it, the relationship between Old Man Pete and Old Man Teppy? And is the dream you just had real or fake? Why did he come here? Why did you become a child again?

Seeing that Chen Rui was not in a good mood, Tenanx scratched his hair in embarrassment, Teppi shook his head and said, "It's almost time to get to where I live, and I will explain everything to you when the time comes." Let's go. ”

The three of them continued on their way, and finally came to a white building.

"Grandpa Teppi, I have other things to deal with, so I don't deserve you first. And this ...... Mr. Chen Rui, if you have any business, you can come to the Palace of Time to find me. ”

After Tenanx finished speaking, he pointed to a white palace not far behind Chen Rui, then waved his hand to the two of them, and turned to leave.

Chen Rui turned around and glanced at the Palace of Time, looking thoughtful. It wasn't until Teppi called Chen Rui in the house that he came back to his senses and walked into the old man Tepi's house.

"Come, have a cup of tea first."

The old man Teppi poured Chen Rui and himself a cup of tea each, and the two sat on the sofa. Chen Rui didn't touch the teacup, and stared at Tepi.

"Hehe, okay. I don't think you're patient. I'll tell you everything.

Where do you start? Well...... Let's start with Pete. In fact, there are countless old people Pete, they are all my clones in various planes, responsible for selecting potential humans, training them unconditionally, and finally after their mission is completed, they will use their last strength to send all the trained warriors to the time realm, and then die out on their own......... So it's okay for you to call me Old Man Pete, and it's okay to call me Old Man Pete. ”

"So what's the dream I had, is it real? And what do you want me to do when you train me? One last question: why did my body become like this......"

Faced with Chen Rui's doubts, the old man Teppi picked up the teacup unhurriedly and took a sip, before he said slowly: "The dream you experienced is indeed true. That's because the old man specially let you go back to your universe in order to end your wish, let you spend your last time in that world, and let you have no regrets. And when you die, that world dies too......"

Chen Rui looked surprised, he didn't expect things to be like this: "Then wouldn't my descendants be ......?"

"The world is gone, where will there be any descendants......"

The old man Teppi put down the teacup, and the whole person lay on the sofa very unimpressively and continued: "Chen Rui, tell you honestly." In the near future, there will be more than the realm of time. All the worlds associated with this will be destroyed. We call this phenomenon the day of the end. ”

Chen Rui was stunned: "What does this mean?" All worlds will be destroyed? ”

"That's what the lord meant......"

After Teppi finished speaking, he looked at Chen Rui, who was becoming more and more confused, sighed and said, "Master, or you can call him the Great Dao, the Great Universe Will, and the Destiny...... Anything, he's the supreme being who controls it all. To put it in a way that is easier for you to understand, he can be said to be an author! ”

"Author? You're saying we're actually characters in a novel? So the end day, does it mean that the author wants to be a eunuch? Or is it finished? I...... Am I just a character in a novel? …… How so...... Is my life set by someone else? Heh......"

After Chen Rui listened to the words of the old man Tepi, the whole person fell into a state of confusion, and countless thoughts and questions were born in his mind.

"Ahem......"

The old man Teppi coughed lightly, stood up, and said to Chen Rui: "I know that you are difficult to accept for a while, you can be alone for a while...... I'll see you later. I'll go to the Palace of Time first. ”

Smack! With the sound of the door closing, the old man Teppi left, and the room fell silent, leaving only Chen Rui sitting alone.
