However, telling them wouldn't hurt.
After all... the three Saiyans present here seemed to be rather talented individuals. Perhaps, in the future, it's possible...
The Dragon God sighed internally, speaking through Earth's Dragon: "Fine, I'll tell you. The reason Yamoshi became the first Super Saiyan is because he was one of the few righteous Saiyans who longed for peace under the brutal rule of the Saiyan Empire. His calm and extraordinary inner peace transformed the cells in his body into a special form. When his power reached a certain level... hmm, using the battle power values recognized by the ghosts of the two Saiyans here, it would be about 2 million! When his body's potential energy reached 2 million, Yamoshi vaguely sensed he could undergo some kind of transformation... and this transformation, triggered by a moment of anger, is what we now call the Super Saiyan."
"2 million?" Tights, Gohan, and Bulma were all puzzled, as this was their first time encountering these power values.
"2 million?" Yamiru was also confused. He recalled that when Goku transformed, his power level was 3 million, and after becoming a Super Saiyan, it reached 150 million—completely overwhelming Freeza at full power, who had a battle power of only 120 million. But after doing the math, he suddenly realized... if 2 million was the threshold for transformation, then the battle power of the transformed Super Saiyan would be exactly 100 million. It made sense—if the battle power of a Super Saiyan didn't break 100 million, it would be a disgrace. It couldn't be any lower.
"2 million!???" Bardock and Gine were utterly shocked.
This was an astronomical number, unheard of!
The strongest Saiyan, King Vegeta, didn't even have 20,000 in battle power. Even the formidable Captain of the Ginyu Force, with his monstrous strength, couldn't have such an exaggerated number! However, Bardock thought of the blow that Freeza used to destroy Planet Vegeta... No, even that attack couldn't possibly have a battle power of 2 million! He shook his head internally.
"The transformation into a Super Saiyan directly increases your power by 50 times..." The Dragon God even chuckled. This moment completely stunned Yamiru. He wondered if his careless actions had caused the Dragon God to lose his mind. Had he gone mad?
The Dragon God's tone became indifferent as he continued: "2 million, 20 million... what's the difference? Is there really a gap between strength and weakness in these numbers... Hehehe... After hearing about the requirements for Super Saiyan God, you might have a different perspective on the concept of power."
Bardock and Gine couldn't fully comprehend the Dragon God's words. While the strength difference couldn't solely depend on battle power values, a 20-million-power fighter was undoubtedly stronger than a 2-million fighter. Was that really up for debate?
Yamiru, however, seemed deep in thought... All along, even in his previous life, he'd had this question: Since the gods of the underworld could casually create bodies of even higher Super Saiyan forms, did this so-called powerful energy body really matter to them? Couldn't it just be a toy they could make with ease? Goku, weakened to the point of not even being able to transform into a Super Saiyan, still managed to use a Spirit Bomb to slam Freeza and Majin Buu, sending them to their doom.
"If you want to become a Super Saiyan God, all you need to do is gather six Saiyans with righteous hearts, infuse the power of five Saiyans into the body of the sixth one—and there, the Super Saiyan God is born! Simple, right?" The Dragon God casually explained. "That's how Yamoshi did it back then, and he used the same method to turn five of his companions into Super Saiyan Gods... Even the weakest of gods can't be compared to mere 2-million or 20-million power levels."
Such a crude and straightforward way of becoming a god felt absurd to everyone present. However, Bardock and Gine recalled the deeds of their other kin, and the idea of gathering six righteous Saiyans seemed impossible. In their time, gathering even two would have been considered a blessing for the whole village... "Righteous hearts?" Bardock's soul trembled. He didn't believe he had a righteous heart, but after looking at Gine's soul, then at the innocent and naive Kakarot, he believed that the Super Saiyan God would certainly emerge. Freeza, one day, you will pay for your blood debts!
"Then, what about the S warriors? How does that work..." Bulma, sensing the silence, was the first to ask.
"The current Saiyans, or rather, the Saiyans before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, are all descendants of Yamoshi and his rebellion." The Dragon God continued, "With six or more Super Saiyan Gods, the brutal Saiyan Empire could not resist and was quickly overthrown. As time passed, the special cells that Yamoshi and his comrades inherited gradually passed down to their descendants, slowly eliminating the original cells that allowed them to transform into S warriors... Now, the cells of the S warriors have mostly lost their function, leaving only a tail, waiting to be discarded. Once someone successfully transforms into a Super Saiyan, neither they nor their descendants will ever have tails."
Bulma thought for a moment and asked, "So, is it because the Super Saiyan cells reject the S warrior cells?"
The Dragon God nodded in approval: "Exactly~ After all, they were once mortal enemies."
Bulma: "Oh."
"So, the S warriors were actually a different kind of Super Saiyan before Yamoshi, right?" Bardock's soul directly transmitted a question to the Dragon God. Since the Dragon God had previously mentioned both his and Gine's existence, it was clear the Dragon God could communicate directly with their souls.
The Dragon God replied flatly: "That's one way to categorize it. However, the name is always defined by the victorious survivors. Since the current Saiyans all descend from Yamoshi, perhaps we should call the former S warriors mutated Super Saiyans..."
"Ah, I see," Bulma nodded and said to Yamiru, "It seems our guess was correct. The cells in Goku's back are constantly multiplying, and there is indeed the possibility of a qualitative change. And the tail's Special cells, they're actually the remnants of the losers from history..." She looked at Goku beside her. "If you ever become a Super Saiyan, could you let me study your cells?"
Goku shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, no problem." By now, he was still dizzy from all the talk of 2 million, 20 million, S warriors, and gods... Why was everything so complicated?
"Well, should be no questions left now?" The golden-eyed Shenrong asked.
"Mm..." Yamiru hesitated. He didn't notice that Shenrong's golden eyes had reverted back to their original red. He looked around, asking, "Does anyone have anything else to ask? Uncle Bardock? Auntie Gine?"
The two souls were still digesting the hard-core information Shenrong had given them and didn't seem to have any new questions.
Yamiru felt a bit regretful and reluctantly read out this time's wish: "Well then, please restore the souls of Bardock and Gine here to their original forms!"
Forget whether the bodies needed to be restored first, Yamiru thought. After all, my wish isn't for resurrection but for them to be "restored to their original forms." If you don't bring their bodies back, we won't accept it... But then he thought, since creating a body is probably a piece of cake for a high-level deity, the Dragon Balls' "resurrection" function should naturally include a "body restoration" feature too.
As the words fell, Shenrong relaxed and solemnly said, "This wish is very simple..."
Buzz~
A mysterious wave of energy radiated from Shenrong's will to Bardock and Gine's souls. In an instant, undetectable to the naked eye, two Saiyans appeared in front of Tights, Yamiru, Bulma, Goku, and Gohan, both dressed in battle suits of male and female styles...
