Chapter 117: Planet Creation
Thinking of it, Turles did it. He told Old Kai and Shin his idea.
Hearing Turles's thoughts, both reacted differently. Naturally, Shin needn't be mentioned.
After Old Kai promoted him to formal Supreme Kai, Old Kai constantly supervised his coursework. Among them, Supreme Kai's exclusive creation divine power application was a key focus. In Old Kai's words: a Supreme Kai who couldn't create life-bearing planets fundamentally didn't deserve being Supreme Kai.
Regarding this aspect, Shin could only be said to have progressed—but not much.
So now having Turles also participate—when the time came, with Turles sharing the heat, this would let Old Kai scold him less. So Shin supported Turles wanting to learn creation divine power ten thousand percent.
But Old Kai's reaction was somewhat hesitant. Logically speaking, apprentice Supreme Kais didn't yet qualify accessing creation divine power. Much less Turles becoming apprentice Supreme Kai only slightly over one year. If placed in normal times, he couldn't even pass apprentice Supreme Kai assessments.
However, thinking of Turles's somewhat unreasonable monstrous talent, then recalling Universe 7's bottom-ranking position at the Supreme Kai meeting—Old Kai gritted his teeth. Finally, he agreed to Turles's request.
Since both agreed, Turles also formally began learning creation divine power application.
The moment he began learning, Turles intuitively felt creation divine power's greatness. Finally understanding why Old Kai previously said—in certain respects, Supreme Kais were more important than Gods of Destruction.
Previously, Turles had used a portion of weak divine power he'd trained on Red Stone to accelerate the Spirit Tree's maturation. But now thinking back, Turles finally knew how crude his divine power application had been.

At a Supreme Kai Realm observatory platform, Turles and Shin tried widening their eyes, watching Old Kai continuously searching on the platform. Eyes full of puzzlement.
After waiting long moments, still not knowing what Old Kai was searching for, Shin finally couldn't help stepping forward, asking aloud, "Ancestor, what exactly are you searching for?"
"Quiet!" Unexpectedly, Shin's question was directly met with Old Kai's rebuke. His tone appeared extremely impatient.
"Uh!" Being scolded by Old Kai, Shin awkwardly touched his nose. Somewhat dejected, he retreated before Turles—feeling somewhat unnatural being watched by Turles's amused gaze.
But since Turles came to Supreme Kai Realm, Shin had also unconsciously been influenced by Turles. At minimum, his face was much thicker than before. So after glaring at Turles once, Shin continued staring at Old Kai.
"Found it! Turles, come here!"
Suddenly, Old Kai joyfully shouted. Then immediately had Turles come forward. Pointing at a location on the observatory's star map, he instructed:
"See this place? Shortly, you'll use your Instant Transmission to move me and Shin to this position. Understand?"
Hearing Old Kai's words, Turles looked in his finger's direction. He discovered it was just a desolate planet. Moreover, it appeared to have been desolate for very long time—even the planetary core should have extinguished.
Turles didn't understand why Old Kai wanted going to this place. But presumably he had his reasons. So Turles carefully examined this planet's star map position, then closed his eyes, searching for this planet throughout the universe.
If discussing the greatest benefit of Turles becoming apprentice Supreme Kai—that would be finally being able to use Instant Transmission to any location in entire Universe 7.
Meaning he'd already learned two-thirds of the spatial movement knowledge Shenron gave him. Just needing to learn from Old Kai the method traversing universes—then he could attempt learning the remaining ability traversing among twelve universes.
While Turles searched for that planet, Shin approached Old Kai's front. Face carrying a trace of flattery, he carefully complained to Old Kai:
"Ancestor, actually I can also do spatial transfer. It doesn't necessarily require Turles!"
"You?" But after hearing Shin's words, Old Kai—as if remembering some terrible memory—immediately looked at Shin with doubting eyes. Simultaneously, his mouth directly complained:
"I don't want to fall into magma again. I only passed the Supreme Kai divine position to you. But this doesn't mean I no longer want to live."
Speaking of this, Old Kai had a bellyful of anger. Last time, having Shin bring him and Turles via spatial transfer—unexpectedly that one time, the three directly transferred to the planetary core center.
If not for Turles's quick reaction, immediately activating Instant Transmission—Universe 7 might have had the entire cosmos's shortest-serving Supreme Kai.
You had to know—even Supreme Kais or Gods of Destruction, their bodies also couldn't exist undamaged in several thousand degree temperatures.
Of course, if using aura or divine power to form an energy barrier for protection, one could still briefly move about in magma.
So afterward, Old Kai never again had Shin use spatial transfer. Even if Turles wasn't present, he'd rather have Kibito do it.
"Hehe..."
Thinking of last time's embarrassing incident, Shin also felt somewhat fearful. Grinning sheepishly, he said nothing more.
"Alright!"
At this moment, Turles opened his eyes.
Hearing Turles's voice, Old Kai withdrew his glare at Shin. He placed his hand on Turles's shoulder. Shin also didn't dare delay—quickly stepping forward to grab Turles's clothing.
Swish!
The three figures vanished from Supreme Kai Realm. Next second, they'd already appeared in the empty universe.
The moment they appeared, Turles's body automatically mobilized his internal aura to maintain oxygen needed for life.
Looking at this already-extinguished planet before the three, Turles and Shin exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"Ancestor, this seems to be a planet that declined long ago. Even the planetary core extinguished. What are we doing here?"
After watching briefly, truly unable to see what was special about this planet, Shin voiced his confusion to Old Kai.
Actually, planets in the universe also had lifespans. Whether stars or planets—though their existence time might be very long, even exceeding one generation Supreme Kai's term—ultimately, all faced inevitable extinction.
Like stars—they continuously burned. When stellar internal burning reactions concluded, that star would slowly cool down, forming red dwarfs or white dwarfs. Even some massive stars would undergo supernova explosions, collapsing into neutron stars or black holes.
Planetary endings would be influenced by many factors. Whether giant meteorite impacts, stellar decline, or even experts with over 10,000 battle power destroying the core—all could end planets.
The planet before them—due to its internal core cooling, geological activity stopping—finally became a cold, dead rock planet.
So both Turles and Shin didn't understand what Old Kai brought them here to do.
Seeing both's confused expressions, Old Kai just showed an enigmatic smile, directly descending toward the planet.
Seeing Old Kai's true purpose was this planet, Shin felt somewhat incredible. Looking at Turles, he asked puzzled, "Turles, do you know what Ancestor wants to do?"
Hearing this, Turles couldn't help giving Shin an eye-roll, saying without good humor, "You—this legitimate Supreme Kai—don't know. Would I—this apprentice Supreme Kai—know?"
After dissing Shin, Turles ignored him. Then chasing Old Kai's figure, he also descended toward the planet.
Being dissed by Turles, Shin felt his Supreme Kai status had been offended. Immediately becoming somewhat displeased, he waved his claws at Turles's back.
But comparing the gap between himself and Turles, he finally could only helplessly sigh, also following downward.
---
Because the planetary core cooled, the planet's atmosphere had completely vanished. After Turles landed, the scene before his eyes was as expected.
The entire planet had completely fallen into frozen state. And in such harsh conditions, naturally there'd be no signs of life existing.
Now, rather than calling this a planet, better to call it a massive ice-sealed meteorite.
Landing on the planet, Turles immediately saw Old Kai's figure. Old Kai's current actions made Turles feel somewhat surprised.
Currently, Old Kai continuously circled in place. His lips opened and closed up and down—seemingly muttering something. However, the voice was somewhat low. Turles couldn't quite hear clearly.
Just as Turles still puzzled about what Old Kai was doing, he saw Old Kai continuously projecting green light orbs from his hands. From those light orbs, Turles could clearly feel abundant life aura.
These green light orbs—the moment they left Old Kai's palms—immediately seemed to gain life. Impatiently, they drilled into the soil.
As more and more light orbs were absorbed, this planet—having been extinguished for unknown how many years—gave Turles a feeling of "awakening."
"Planet revival?"
Suddenly, Shin's voice rang behind Turles, immediately transferring his attention to Shin.
"You know?" Turles directly asked.
"Ahem!"
Seeing Turles consulting him, Shin subconsciously coughed twice. After puffing out his chest, he explained somewhat proudly:
"This is one application of creation power. Can only be used on planets that once prospered but have already become extinct. Through creation power's stimulation and ritual dance awakening, this extinct planet will again burst with new vitality."
"Afterward, as long as Supreme Kai can arrange necessary conditions for normal life-bearing planets on this planet, this planet will reproduce life in subsequent eons."
After speaking, Shin raised his eyebrows at Turles, flaunting his erudition.
But Turles wouldn't indulge his "superior." He not only didn't show Shin an admiring expression—rather somewhat disdainfully, he countered:
"Then why didn't you recognize it at the start? You kept asking Elder questions."
"I—"
The proud expression on Shin's face froze. He wanted saying something. But truth was often most cutting. Being told this by Turles, he suddenly realized he truly was useless. Finally, he could only close his mouth.
Seeing Shin speechless, Turles wasn't surprised. Then he turned to continue watching Old Kai.
But watching and watching, Turles's expression gradually became strange.
Nothing else—currently, Old Kai's motions were too familiar to Turles. Wasn't this the exact motion Old Kai used when unlocking Gohan's potential in the original?
He didn't know whether this so-called "ritual" dance was useful or not. Not only could it awaken planets—it could also stimulate bodily potential. Just didn't know if this was something Old Kai himself made up to fool people.
With Turles's understanding of Old Kai, such things—he wasn't incapable of doing.
Soon, as Old Kai's ritual dance concluded, he also—like in Turles's memories—directly sat down on the ground. His head also slowly lowered.
This made Turles even more convinced this ritual dance was the same set used for unlocking Gohan's potential in the original.
However, speaking of it, regardless of whether this set of motions was useful—Old Kai truly knew quite a lot. His potential-unlocking effects also far exceeded Grand Elder on Planet Namek.
If following Shin's explanation—Old Kai operated using creation divine power—then after unlocking potential, Gohan having such tremendous improvement was naturally reasonable.
Originally, Gohan—as Goku and Earth human's hybrid—had astonishingly tremendous potential in his body. This could be seen from the original when Raditz invaded Earth and later when battling Cell.
Old Kai's potential unlocking also involved creation divine power application. With both stacked—directly boosting Gohan from Super Saiyan 2 to Mystic form—wasn't strange.
Moreover, Turles thought of another point. Besides Gohan, whether later Goku and Vegeta, or later Trunks and Goten—no other Saiyan replicated Gohan's Mystic state.
Did Goku and Vegeta not see Mystic state Gohan's superiority?
These two were true combat geniuses. In Mystic state, whether battle power improvement or endurance—Gohan far exceeded Super Saiyan transformations.
If this state could be achieved independently, Turles believed—whether Goku or Vegeta—neither had reason not researching it.
Since both hadn't succeeded, there must be some limitation. What Turles could think of—like Shin said—this involved creation power participation.
Thinking this, Turles's eyes brightened. He seemed to have thought of a method accelerating Red Stone Saiyans' improvement.
The prerequisite: learning this move of Old Kai's himself.
