The Awakening ceremony was Old Kai's personal carnival.
A full five hours,
Gohan felt completely numb watching Old Kai hop and skip around him.
He was a little worried that Old Kai would fall apart after five hours of jumping.
This really didn't look like an easy job.
Old Kai's body, which got out of breath with every movement, made continuous jumping for 5 hours a huge challenge for him.
Supreme Kai and Kibito, who had been watching for 5 hours, were completely dazed, but felt it would be impolite to just leave.
After all, this was an Old Ancestor from 15 generations ago.
Afterward, Supreme Kai finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Old Ancestor, how much longer will this ceremony take?"
Old Kai, circling Gohan with a deadly rhythm, replied impatiently, "Shut up, this is a very important ceremony, don't interrupt! The whole process takes 5 hours, and enhancing power takes 20 hours..."
"Uh..."
"Old Ancestor, if it's 5 hours, I think it's already past that."
Supreme Kai said somewhat nervously.
"Huh?"
Old Kai immediately stopped. "Has it been 5 hours?"
"Yes, Old Ancestor." Supreme Kai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded.
Kibito, standing nearby, also chimed in, "That's right, Old Ancestor, it's already been over 5 hours."
Old Kai scratched his head and laughed, "Hahaha, so it's already past the time, I'm old, I can't remember the time anymore."
Gohan: ...If Old Kai wasn't old, he'd be quite young.
"Ahem, young man, sit down."
"Old Man, my name is Gohan, just call me Gohan." Gohan said, feeling parched, as he shook his numb legs and sat down on the spot.
He hadn't spoken for 5 hours for fear of disturbing the Awakening ceremony, and he was extremely thirsty.
Agony!
He even felt like peeing.
"Sit properly, don't speak." Old Kai said, then also sat cross-legged opposite him, muttering incomprehensible incantations.
At this moment, Gohan especially missed the potential-unleashing method of the Namekian Grand Elder.
That was truly simple; just a hand press on the head was enough.
Compared to now, it was the difference between easy difficulty and Hell difficulty.
Supreme Kai and Kibito also didn't dare to speak. They stood beside him like two spears, unable to sit or leave, enduring even more torment than Gohan.
Just like that, who knows how many more hours passed.
Gohan felt sleepiness creep in, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Old Kai's strange incantations seemed to turn into a beautiful lullaby, making him sleep exceptionally soundly... Drip!
Drip!
Drip!
The sound of water droplets falling into a lake echoed in his mind.
Circles of ripples spread out in his heart.
Gohan opened his eyes, waking from his deep sleep, feeling an unprecedented comfort in his body and a uniquely relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
He looked at Old Kai, who was still snoring loudly in front of him, and stood up with a smile.
He turned his head and saw Supreme Kai and Kibito also looking at him.
Gohan walked towards the two of them.
Seeing Gohan approach, Mr. Gohan quietly asked, "Mr. Gohan, how do you feel? Is there any difference?"
"Difference?" Gohan clenched his fists.
Actually, Gohan didn't feel any difference, but now he felt completely at ease, as if his mind had been cleansed, and his entire being had been sublimated.
Gohan said, "I can't really say what the difference is. If I had to, I'd say my mindset is more peaceful and natural, with a feeling of unrestraint."
"Hehe, I don't quite understand either. Let's ask Old Ancestor when he wakes up." Supreme Kai chuckled.
Kibito observed Gohan without speaking. He always felt that the current Gohan was particularly mysterious and ethereal.
He was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Gohan was clearly right in front of him, yet he felt as if he was very far away.
"Mr. Gohan, this is for you." Supreme Kai said, and a long sword, the kaioshin sword, appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he handed to Gohan.
"Lord Supreme Kai, you repaired it?" Gohan took the long sword, surprised.
"Huh, why is it so light?" The kaioshin sword felt much lighter in his hand, without the previous heavy sensation.
Supreme Kai chuckled, "While you two were unleashing your potential, I had nothing to do, so I reforged the kaioshin sword. I didn't expect that after Old Ancestor was unsealed from inside, the entire sword became much lighter. After reforging, this sword has returned to its original state, and is even sharper than before."
"I didn't expect that after Old Ancestor was unsealed from inside, the entire sword became much lighter. After reforging, this sword has returned to its original state, and is even sharper than before."
"Our previous bet is still valid, so this sword is now returned to Mr. Gohan."
"Hehe, then thank you, Lord Supreme Kai." Gohan didn't stand on ceremony and put away the kaioshin sword.
Perhaps due to their conversation, Old Kai slowly woke up.
He looked around in a daze, then wondered, "Huh? I actually fell asleep? I didn't expect to still be so sleepy after tens of millions of years sleeping in the sword. My body is too weak."
Supreme Kai immediately said, "It's because you were too tired, Old Ancestor."
Gohan walked up to Old Kai, bowed, and sincerely said, "Thank you for your hard work, Old Man. Gohan will always remember this kindness."
Old Kai stood up, then put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and said:
"You only say useless pretty words. I'm an Old Man, I don't have many days left to live, alas, this time helping you unleash your potential, my lifespan has been greatly reduced."
As he spoke, a look of sadness appeared on his face, and a suppressed aura spread.
Gohan knew this old actor was putting on a show, but Supreme Kai and Kibito believed it, and immediately became worried.
The two repeatedly told Old Ancestor to take care of his health and not to overwork himself in the future.
Gohan grinned and whispered into Old Kai's ear, "Old Man, I originally planned to give you some beauty magazines, but since your body is already overwhelmed, it seems these magazines can't be given out."
"What? There's such a thing?" Old Kai's eyes lit up, and he immediately became energetic.
However, he remembered his identity and put on a stern face again.
"Ahem, I, an Old Man, don't care for your beauty magazines."
"If I want to see them, I can always use my Divine Ability to see beautiful women in the mortal world."
Gohan spread his hands, looking very regretful: "Then forget it, I originally wanted to give you some more DVDs."
"This..." Old Kai frowned, and said, very conflicted, "Since you insist on giving them, then I, an Old Man, can reluctantly accept them, alright, hand them over."
As he spoke, he reached out to Gohan to demand them.
"Next time, Old Man. To show my sincerity, I'm going to collect the best ones to give you. Ordinary ones certainly won't do; they wouldn't fit your status at all." Gohan said with his hands on his hips, full of conviction.
"You young man, alas, alright, alright, remember to bring them next time."
"Respecting elders and cherishing the young, do you understand?"
"I understand, I'll remember."
Supreme Kai and Kibito completely failed to understand what high-level topic this Old Man and young man were discussing.
They only knew that Old Ancestor was now in high spirits and very happy.
It must be said that Mr. Gohan truly had some tricks up his sleeve.
He even knew how to coax an Old Man.
Truly incredibly impressive.
