Chapter 107: Universe 7 Development Plan
Ever since receiving Turles's Universe 7 Five-Year Development Plan, Old Kai and Shin—the new Supreme Kai—had fallen into endless arguments.
Though Old Kai also acknowledged some proposals Turles mentioned in the plan—like using Bulma's invented space ship to strengthen communication between universe races, and holding universal martial arts tournaments to raise various races' combat power—he strongly objected to Turles's suggestion of actively intervening in certain life forms' development.
"No! The universe's development follows its own laws. Life evolution has its own meaning. Even gods cannot casually interfere with life's development."
"As you said—if a life-bearing planet's race has already left their planet, then gathering them and providing a communication platform is fine. But races that haven't connected to interstellar civilization can only develop freely."
Old Kai still held his position. As a veteran Supreme Kai, his concepts were more conservative.
"But wouldn't guiding them be better? With our guidance, perhaps fewer evil magicians like Babidi would appear. Maybe among those undestroyed races, experts like Turles could emerge?"
Perhaps from constantly monitoring Majin Buu matters, Shin's concepts were more radical. Shin wanted more experts like Turles appearing. Of course, this also related to Turles transforming the Saiyans—originally an evil warrior race—into the universe's newest rising righteous race.
During this year, while Turles trained in Supreme Kai divine power at Supreme Kai Realm under Old Kai, Red Stone's Saiyans finally—following Turles's plan—fully cooperated with Galactic Patrol, beginning to combat cosmic evil forces, dedicated to maintaining galactic order.
The West Galaxy and North Galaxy territory ranges—having lost Slug and Frieza—were top priorities. Through extermination and recruitment methods, the declining Galactic Patrol rose again. Their influence expanded from galactic center to West Galaxy and North Galaxy.
If not limited by sparse Saiyan population, even East Galaxy and South Galaxy might have been influenced.
So seeing the Saiyans' successful transformation example, Shin had confidence arguing with Old Kai.
Speaking of Turles, Old Kai was completely speechless. After all, during this year, he personally witnessed Turles's monstrous growth. So finally, he could only glare harshly at Turles.
Being glared at by Old Kai, Turles felt somewhat innocent. But during this year, Old Kai had wholeheartedly taught him. So after thinking, Turles still spoke:
"Shin, I think we should follow Elder's idea. After all, this is our first time implementing this plan. No one can guarantee what problems might arise during the process. Perhaps after trying several years, seeing results, Elder might agree?"
Actually, Turles didn't quite agree with Shin's thinking either. Because currently, Shin's thoughts felt too radical.
Perhaps Turles's excellent performance this year made Shin feel some pressure. He always felt Shin seemed to only want proving himself—not thinking a true Supreme Kai should have.
Like future Zamasu—after witnessing humanity's vices, he presumptuously wanted to eliminate all humans. His self-proclaimed justice was ultimately just an excuse satisfying his own desires.
So during this year studying under Old Kai, Turles not only enhanced Supreme Kai divine power and learned relevant skills—more importantly, he learned a humble, reverent heart.
Hearing Turles didn't support him, Shin felt betrayed. He glared harshly at Turles, then directly vanished from place.
Watching Shin depart via Instant Transmission, worry flashed through Turles's eyes.
"You sensed it too?"
At this moment, Old Kai's voice sounded behind Turles. His tone also filled with worry.
Turles suppressed the worry in his eyes. Turning to glance at Old Kai, he pretended not understanding, asking puzzled, "What do you mean? What did I sense?"
"Hey!" Hearing Turles's words, Old Kai immediately glared.
Turles continued watching Old Kai with innocent eyes. Eventually even showed a wronged expression—seemingly truly not understanding Old Kai's meaning.
But just as Turles thought he'd bluffed through, Old Kai's expression changed. The worry on his face vanished completely, recovering that lecherous smile. He grinned at Turles.
"You kid—trying to trick this old man? You're still too green. Anyway, regardless of circumstances, Shin is your superior. If problems arise with him, you can't escape either."
"I heard from Whis-san you know about other universes. Then you surely understand Omni-King-sama better. Do you think Omni-King-sama will consider these things then? Hmm?"
After speaking, ignoring Turles's stiffened expression, Old Kai—hands behind his back—leisurely whistled while departing.
Only leaving Turles standing in place, expression somewhat uncertain.
Finally, Turles could only sigh, muttering to himself, "Looks like I need to find Shin some proper work!"

"What did you say? Babidi controlled Demon Realm's King Dabura in Demon Realm?" Shin excitedly stood up, looking at Turles with shock.
Turles also wore a grave expression. Nodding at Shin, he further explained, "I previously accidentally entered Demon Realm. Discovered many demons already controlled by Babidi. Among them was Demon Realm King Dabura. Moreover, I heard recently they're searching for a cocoon!"
After speaking, Turles mobilized his body's weak Supreme Kai power, carving two images in the air—precisely Babidi and Demon Realm King Dabura restored from his memories.
As his old adversary, how could Shin not recognize Babidi? The other person was indeed Dabura from his memories.
Looking at the black "M" mark on Dabura's forehead in the image, Shin knew Turles wasn't lying. This immediately darkened his expression.
Though during this year—with Old Kai's teaching—his divine power had grown somewhat, making his current battle power roughly equivalent to full-power Super Saiyan 2 level.
But still that saying—Supreme Kai simply wasn't a combat deity. Perhaps other universes had Supreme Kais stronger than Gods of Destruction, but this didn't include Shin.
Now with Babidi secretly scheming to find Majin Buu's sealed cocoon, how could he ignore it after knowing?
This wasn't just his responsibility as Supreme Kai toward the universe. More importantly, it was guilt toward the Grand Supreme Kai and the other three Supreme Kais who sacrificed protecting him.
Expression darkening while watching the airborne images, after long moments he finally asked Turles in a hoarse voice, "Turles, do you think if I find Lord Beerus now, would that be better?"
"Hmm?" Turles looked at Shin surprised. He hadn't expected him to think of having Beerus handle this. He'd thought Shin would directly bring him charging to Earth searching for Majin Buu's cocoon. Seemed Old Kai's education had some effect.
Turles pretended thinking briefly, then hesitated, "But I heard from Whis-san that Lord Beerus is still sleeping. And Lord Beerus's wake-up temper isn't small!"
Hearing Turles's words, Shin's mind immediately conjured images of being brutally beaten by a temperamental cat-shaped being. He directly shuddered, reflexively waving his hands, "Then forget it. Let's figure it out ourselves."
"Shin, what if we find Majin Buu first? Then even if Babidi finds us, with our current strength, Babidi probably couldn't release Majin Buu from our hands, right?"
Seeing Shin still hadn't thought of going to Earth searching for Majin Buu, Turles could only suggest aloud.
Hearing this, Shin's eyes immediately brightened. Clapping his hands, he excitedly told Turles, "Right! How didn't I think of that? I'll immediately go to the planet where Majin Buu is sealed and find Majin Buu in advance."
After speaking, Shin activated Instant Transmission, found Kibito, and departed Supreme Kai Realm.
"Whew!"
Sensing Shin's aura had vanished from Supreme Kai Realm, Turles released a long breath.
Next second, his figure also disappeared from place.
---
North Kai Planet.
North Kai was driving his red sports car around the planet's track.
Suddenly, Turles's figure appeared on the track. Unable to brake in time, North Kai's car directly crashed toward Turles.
Bang!
Turles reflexively raised an energy barrier around his body.
With a loud crash, the car's front directly crumpled. But Turles made no movement whatsoever.
Turles speechlessly watched the already unconscious North Kai. Helplessly, he could only extend his hand, using healing technique on North Kai.
As green light flashed from Turles's hand, North Kai's injuries completely vanished. He also groggily awoke from unconsciousness.
"North Kai, long time no see!"
Seeing North Kai awaken, Turles first greeted him.
"You are...?"
The just-awakened North Kai was still somewhat dazed. But soon he was jolted awake by Turles's aura. He pointed at Turles, stuttering:
"Y...you are..."
Turles extended his hand, pulling North Kai from the car. Watching the shocked, speechless North Kai, he raised an eyebrow, teasing, "What? After not seeing each other this long, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"Gulp!"
North Kai swallowed with difficulty, recovering from Turles's aura's pressure. Looking at Turles with uncertainty, he asked tremblingly, "You're really Turles?"
Turles nodded.
"But why does your aura make me feel such dread?"
After confirming the person before him was Turles, North Kai's heart relaxed somewhat. But he still felt pressure from Turles's aura.
Turles glanced at North Kai's occasionally trembling legs, feeling somewhat helpless.
This wasn't his fault. Divine power training was far more difficult than ordinary ki training. Even Turles—during this year—had no way to completely conceal his divine power aura. So he could only inconvenience North Kai.
"I'm now an apprentice Supreme Kai. Coming to find you also involves some matters requiring your help." Turles directly skipped the explanation part, directly stating his purpose.
"Apprentice Supreme Kai? So Supreme Kais truly exist in this world. I thought they were just legends." Hearing Turles's words, North Kai became somewhat dazed, couldn't help murmuring softly.
"North Kai?"
Turles waved before North Kai's eyes, finally rousing him from his daze.
North Kai jolted, immediately bowing awkwardly toward Turles, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Supreme Kai-sama!"
Seeing North Kai's chubby body still making such gestures, Turles felt worried for him. Quickly supporting him, he simultaneously reminded, "Apprentice Supreme Kai. Supreme Kai-sama is another person. He didn't come this time."
"Apprentice Supreme Kai?" North Kai felt somewhat confused.
"Yes!" Turles nodded.
---
"So you're saying, Turles—you came this time wanting me to contact Grand Kai and the other Kais to jointly promote your so-called Five-Year Plan?"
Sitting in a chair, North Kai first poured Turles tea, then asked him for confirmation with puzzlement.
Turles picked up the tea, gently blowing once, then took a small sip. After carefully savoring the taste for a moment, he helplessly set down the teacup, abandoning this elegant art.
"It's the Universe 7 Development Plan. Drafted by me personally, approved by both Supreme Kai-samas. So it's officially being piloted in Universe 7. Thinking you Kais have managed the universe for years, we need your help."
Turles explained his intent.
"This..." After hearing Turles's answer, North Kai's brow furrowed, feeling somewhat awkward.
No helping it—among the entire galaxy, North Galaxy had the lowest overall level. Finally producing an expert like Turles, who even reformed the previously evil Saiyans into the galaxy's famous righteous race. But unexpectedly, all Saiyans migrated to galactic center—no longer under his jurisdiction.
In Turles's plan, life races under all Kais would compete martially. If North Galaxy placed last, West Kai—that bastard—would definitely mock him.
"What? Any problems?" Seeing North Kai somewhat troubled, Turles immediately asked.
This was something he'd boasted about before Old Kai. If problems arose from the start, he'd lose face before Old Kai.
"No, no! I'll immediately contact Grand Kai and the other Kais!"
Hearing Turles's question, North Kai immediately jolted from his chair. Patting his chest, he loudly guaranteed.
Turles looked at North Kai suspiciously. Seeing his completely serious face, he could only instruct him once more before using Instant Transmission to depart North Kai Planet.
After Turles left, North Kai immediately grew anxious like ants on a hot pan, beginning to circle the table.
"What should I do now? Where should I find those experts?"
"Coo coo coo!"
At this moment, Bubbles beside him jumped onto the table, gesticulating wildly at North Kai.
"You mean Goku? Right! How didn't I think of that?"
Hearing Bubbles's words, North Kai immediately understood.
Shaking the antennae on his head, North Kai began looking toward Earth's direction.
"Hmm? How is he on Earth? Didn't he already die?"
Suddenly, North Kai—as if seeing something incredible—said somewhat surprised.
However, he quickly dismissed this question, continuing to search for Goku's figure.
"Found him!"
"Goku! Goku! I'm North Kai! I need your help now!"
After finding Goku's ki, North Kai immediately used telepathy to contact Goku.
"Hmm? North Kai-sama?"
On Earth, Goku—holding a small person in his arms—suddenly heard North Kai's voice. He responded somewhat puzzled.
"Who is it, Goku? Who are you talking to?" Hearing Goku's voice, a crisp female voice came from the kitchen.
"Ah, nothing, Chi-Chi. Gohan's a bit hungry!"
After speaking, Goku placed the wide-eyed baby in his arms into the crib, stuffing a pacifier into the baby's mouth. He whispered:
"Gohan, be good. Daddy has something to do first. When Mommy comes, don't tell her!"
After speaking, Goku tiptoed out through the window.
After a while, a female soprano rang out over Mount Paozu.
"SON! GO! KU!"
