North Kai led Ino on a stroll around West Kai's Planet.
Although he didn't actually want to move—feeling deep down that a gold nest or a silver nest was never as good as his own dog house—having been rivals for so many years, he was still quite happy to be able to ruthlessly slap West Kai in the face like this.
As soon as West Kai moved out, he dragged Ino over to take possession.
Back at the Core People School, West Kai had always looked down on North Kai, calling him fat one day and stupid the next. While North Kai was indeed broad-minded, who didn't have a temper? Arriving at West Kai's Planet now, he looked entirely smug and satisfied.
The two teleported over, standing on the soil of West Kai's Planet, and looked left and right.
Good heavens!
Those who knew would recognize this as West Kai's Planet; those who didn't would think it was some kind of wasteland. Ino had been to West Kai's Planet before, and North Kai had visited many times. Previously, there were numerous houses, swimming pools, training grounds, race tracks, and abundant supporting facilities here.
West Kai had even gathered a great deal of manpower and resources from his jurisdiction to build a structure similar to an art museum. It displayed numerous masterpieces from the West Galaxy, and it was said that any random item taken from inside would be a rare treasure. Now... let alone houses, one couldn't even see a single blade of grass. The planet's surface was completely bald; there was absolutely nothing left.
"That bastard!" North Kai clenched his fists in anger.
Ino was also quite annoyed. West Kai was simply too petty. You moved everything out, so when I come here, I definitely have to rebuild and decorate it all over again. And then, thirty years later, you take West Kai's Planet back and use that opportunity to make a small profit? As a dignified Kai, are you really staring at such petty fly-head profits?
It was not without reason that the Seventh Universe ranked second to last among the twelve multiverses; the administrators of this universe were simply subpar.
"Alright, Teacher King Kai, don't be angry. It's just a small problem." Though she said she didn't care, she secretly made a note of this debt against West Kai. Just you wait. Don't fall into my hands. If you fall into my hands, I'll ruin you!
After sending North Kai away, Ino immediately used her sensory perception to precisely grasp the size and weight of the planet. With a flip of her wrist, she injected Wood Release chakra, stimulating vitality from within the soil. Since there was only a thirty-year usage term anyway, overdrawing it a tiny bit didn't matter at all.
The energy of the entire planet was mobilized. Blades of green grass gradually emerged from the bald surface, clear springs surged once again from dried lake beds, and lush greenery covered the planet once more.
"Hmm? Strange..." Ino was not who she used to be. She quickly detected a slight anomaly. Of her one hundred percent chakra, only ninety-five percent had been used on the planet. The remaining half-percent had inexplicably disappeared.
She increased her energy output, followed the trace, and soon found a very ordinary pile of loose soil.
West Kai had demanded that not a blade of grass be left behind, and he truly hadn't left a single blade for Ino. Judging by the traces at the scene, there might have been some trees on top of this stone pile before. Now the trees were chopped down and the roots dug up, leaving only some broken clods of earth.
Ino's sensory abilities didn't discover anything here, but when she input energy underground, the other party devoured her energy with extreme hunger.
"Who are you? Why are you hiding inside West Kai's Planet?" she asked the empty air.
Unexpectedly, yet within reason, a familiar voice rang out.
"Hello, young intelligent lifeform. I am West Supreme Kai Leila. I did not die during the battle with Majin Buu; my body was merely shattered. Now I need a portion of energy. As long as you share half... no, one-third of your energy with me, I can reshape my body. My Sacred World of the Kai has countless treasures, secret techniques, and knowledge. I am willing to share these things with you."
Ino clutched her cheek, feeling a bit of a toothache.
You again? Why is it always you? Why do I keep running into you? What is this, the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence?
She began to lie with her eyes wide open: "West Supreme Kai? I've never heard of any West Supreme Kai! ..."
The other party spoke softly and gently, offering a burst of explanation.
The first half of the story was exactly the same. After the remnant souls were separated, things changed.
The luck of the remnant soul before her was actually a hundred times better than the previous "two seniors." She hadn't fallen into the hands of space pirates during her weakest moment. Instead, she had resided within another Potara Earring and drifted across the ocean, smoothly returning to her own Sacred World of the Kai.
Then her bad luck began. Before she could use the resources left from the past to regroup, her Sacred World of the Kai was divided by the East Supreme Kai of that time—who was the current Supreme Kai.
Speaking of which, there was no major issue. Her main body was already dead, and the East Supreme Kai was still alive. To resist Majin Buu, it was natural to gather all strength for a last-ditch battle.
The West Supreme Kai's realm was split in two. The East Supreme Kai took the larger half and merged it into his own Sacred World of the Kai. He boasted that his realm was particularly sturdy, which was the absolute truth; counting before and after, he had merged five Sacred Worlds together—how could it not be sturdy?
The remaining part was awarded by the East Supreme Kai of that time to the Grand Kai. The Grand Kai had become a god much earlier than him and had built his own territory very well, so having this half-section of a Supreme Kai realm was useless. He kept it for a while and then gifted it to the "striver" West Kai. West Kai was overjoyed and immediately used it to create his own West Kai's Planet.
The remnant soul had come along into West Kai's Planet just like that.
After listening to the whole story, Ino raised a question: "Hmm, Lord Supreme Kai, I don't quite understand. Since you need rescue, why didn't you contact the previous West Kai? Why contact me at this specific moment? I am just a mortal; I can't provide much help."
The remnant soul spoke in a tactful tone: "West Kai's intentions are impure; I dared not bestow my power upon him."
Previously, when West Kai sent his subordinates to scrape the ground clean, she had been startled, thinking she had been discovered.
Ino said she was a mortal? That was great; mortals were easier for her to manipulate.
Ino understood the situation now.
It was possible for West Kai to use this power to become the West Supreme Kai. Even if the probability was low, the remnant soul didn't dare to gamble. A "three-not-touching" person like Ino—someone unconnected to the power hierarchy—was an excellent target for her to swindle.
Someone put on a sincere face and spoke very appropriately: "So that's how it is. I understand. This must be the arrangement of fate. Lord Supreme Kai, please give your orders. What do you need me to do?"
The remnant souls possessed the wisdom of the original West Supreme Kai, and each had their own plans. The previous two just had terrible luck, falling directly in front of enemies. No matter how good their plans were, they were useless, and they could only take one step at a time, countering moves as they came.
The remnant soul before her was different. she had lived very peacefully these past years. As long as she hid from West Kai, she wouldn't encounter danger. She had a series of plans for her resurrection. In her eyes, Ino's appearance was that of a chess piece that could barely be put to use.
