"Notification!"
"Congratulations, Host, for discovering the truth of this world. The system rewards you with a Grand Gift Pack!"
"Would you like to open it now?"
…
At that moment, the system's notification suddenly rang in Zeru's mind.
Huh?!
The sudden surprise left him stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief.
After all these years, he had never received any kind of gift pack from the system. And now, not only did he get one, it came right after achieving Super Saiyan 4.
How could he not be excited?
"Open it!"
Zeru immediately chose to open it. He was eager to see what kind of rewards awaited him.
"Notification!"
"Opening Grand Gift Pack… Congratulations, Host. You have obtained:
Divine Evolution Opportunity x1, 15x Time Flow Hyperbolic Time Chamber x1, Super Senzu Beans x1000, Time Stop (0.1 seconds), Space Survival Ability, Kaioken x10 (no side effects)."
…
What?!
As the rewards were announced, Zeru froze on the spot.
A Divine Evolution Opportunity?!
What was that?
"Host, it allows one of your bloodlines, skills, or items to undergo a divine-level evolution."
The system explained.
"What?"
Zeru was stunned.
A divine evolution… just from the name alone, it sounded like it could push something he owned to an extreme level.
"Host, your understanding is partially correct. The evolution will reach the highest level your current body can withstand."
The system added.
"I see…"
Zeru's eyes flickered. Returning from Super Saiyan 4 to his base form, he narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
After several minutes, a sharp glint flashed through his gaze.
"If I use this Divine Evolution on my Saiyan bloodline… what would it evolve into?"
"Based on your current path of mortal Saiyan transformations, it would evolve into the Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline."
The system calculated briefly before answering.
"Damn, that's insane!"
Zeru raised a thumbs-up.
The Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline—what did that represent?
It was the bloodline of Yamoshi, the origin of all Saiyans.
Zeru knew that Yamoshi was likely the first true Super Saiyan God.
But that was Yamoshi's path.
He, Zeru, would walk his own.
The Ancestral Saiyan Bloodline would only serve as a foundation. His true strength would still depend on himself.
"System, use the Divine Evolution Opportunity on my bloodline!"
Without hesitation, Zeru made his choice.
"Understood."
The system responded—and fell silent.
Seconds passed.
Ten seconds.
Just as Zeru began to frown slightly, his vision suddenly darkened.
He collapsed, falling into unconsciousness.
At that moment, a silver-white light erupted from his body.
Ancient.
Dominating.
Wild.
Yet carrying a trace of holiness.
The light gradually enveloped him, forming a silver cocoon around his body.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The cocoon pulsed like a heartbeat, slowly rising into the air. Silver patterns spread across its surface like living veins.
Inside, faint breathing could be heard—as if Zeru was undergoing a deep transformation.
Time passed.
No one knew how long.
Then—
Crack!
The cocoon shattered.
From within, a naked young man slowly opened his eyes.
"Have I… become an Ancestral Saiyan?"
The young man was Zeru. He murmured softly as he opened his status panel.
"Host: Zeru
Age: 23 (Age 753)
Base Power Level: 2,600,000,000
Super Saiyan 1: 130,000,000,000
Super Saiyan 2: 260,000,000,000
Super Saiyan 3: 1,040,000,000,000
Skills: Kaioken x10 (no side effects), Instant Transmission, Purification (Silver Level), Time Stop (0.1 seconds)
Items: 500x Gravity Chamber, 15x Time Flow Hyperbolic Time Chamber."
…
Luxurious.
This status panel was simply absurd.
Not long ago, his base power had been only 520 million.
Now—
It had reached 2.6 billion.
What did that mean?
Under Super Saiyan 4's 4000x multiplier…
Zeru calculated quickly.
104 trillion power level.
In other words—10.4 trillion.
It might not sound overwhelming compared to the monsters of Dragon Ball Super, but in a GT timeline without a divine hierarchy…
He would be completely unstoppable.
"Wait…"
Zeru suddenly noticed something.
His eyes.
They were no longer black.
They had turned blue.
And at the edges, there was a faint silver shimmer.
"Maybe… it's time to test whether this world truly has the Dragon Ball Super god system."
His gaze flickered.
If Beerus and Whis existed in this timeline, he would need to act more cautiously when pursuing the Super Dragon Balls.
After all, he knew the preferences of Beerus and Whis in Super—but not necessarily in this world.
"And my purification ability… I haven't really explored it yet."
Zeru murmured softly.
"Perfect timing to test it now."
