Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 298 Resurrecting 3 People

The sky, thick as ink, pressed heavily upon the earth, shrouding the entire world in endless darkness. Only where the Dragon Balls gathered emitted rings of strange light, flickering and shimmering in the darkness.

The dragon's enormous body emerged from the light, its scales gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the darkness, like countless eyes peering down upon the mortal realm. Its eyes flashed with a dark red light, like two burning fireballs, shattering the deathly silence of the night sky.

The dragon's deep, powerful voice, carrying an undeniable majesty, echoed through the darkness: "I cannot do it. That man named Sun Wukong does not wish to return. He wants to return by his own strength."

Son Gohan looked puzzled, his clear eyes filled with confusion, and blurted out, "Why doesn't Daddy want to come back?"

Seeing this, Shang Yun quickly stepped forward, reached out and gently patted Son Gohan's shoulder, comforting him in a soft voice: "Gohan, Shenron has already said that Goku wants to return on his own."

Vegeta stood to the side, arms crossed, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "So Kakarot is training on another planet. Hmph, looks like I can't be complacent here. I must seize the time to improve my strength." With that thought, Vegeta glanced sideways at the spaceship parked nearby, and taking advantage of the others' distraction, strode over.

With a deafening roar, the spaceship's engines spewed forth scorching flames, dazzling in the darkness. The powerful impact shook the ground. Everyone looked up to see the spaceship, billowing smoke, ascend rapidly into the sky like a shooting star.

Shang Yun withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Ignore him and continue. Since Goku is unwilling to come back, there are still many people waiting to be resurrected at King Kai's place."

Bulma chimed in, "Yes! So who should be resurrected first?"

……

King Kai is like a solitary jewel, suspended in the vast universe. A gentle breeze blows, and the meadows unique to King Kai ripple, reflecting the starlight like a shimmering ocean.

King Kai sat cross-legged beside the iconic mushroom house, his expression solemn, and broke the silence with his words: "They intend to resurrect one of you and bring him back."

Upon hearing this, Yamcha abruptly stood up from the grass, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt, his voice unconsciously rising: "Really? But... then who should be resurrected first?"

Tien Shinhan crossed his arms, gazed into the distance, and after a moment of contemplation, said firmly, "I plan to train with King Kai for a while longer; now is not the time to go back."

Dumpling stood next to Tianjin Fan, her little face full of determination, and nodded vigorously in agreement: "I want to stay with Brother Tian."

King Kai's gaze fell on Yamcha, gentle yet with a hint of certainty: "In that case, let's arrange for Yamcha's resurrection first."

Upon hearing that someone could be resurrected, Gregory's eyes lit up with excitement. He jumped around in front of King Kai, swishing his long tail back and forth, and occasionally letting out a sharp cry.

King Kai frowned, then swiftly pulled out a large wooden hammer from somewhere and struck Gregory on the head with lightning speed. With a dull thud, Gregory's eyes rolled back, and he passed out, collapsing limply onto the grass.

Witnessing this sudden farce, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha were all speechless, their forehead veins throbbing slightly, their faces filled with helplessness. Yamcha shrugged with a wry smile and said, "Since everyone has decided this way, let's revive me first."

King Kai casually tossed his giant wooden hammer, which sank into the grass with a "thud." Immediately afterward, he began a telepathic communication with Bulma, who was far away on Earth.

……

King Kai's deep, resonant voice, like a warm current, echoed directly in Bulma's heart: "Bulma, Bulma, surely you can recognize me?"

Bulma abruptly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her azure eyes, and instinctively replied, "Ah, Lord Kai!"

King Kai's voice rang out again, his tone steady: "This time, let Yamcha be resurrected!"

Bulma paused slightly, Yamcha's image flashing through her mind, then nodded and replied, "Yamcha... alright. In that case, our third wish is to revive Yamcha!"

Dandy, standing to the side, raised his hands high, his clear eyes gazing at the dragon, and made a wish with childlike yet firm resolve: "Boom blah blah blah blah blah..."

Upon hearing Dandy's wish, the dragon's eyes instantly emitted two blinding red beams of light. In that instant, a loud "plop" echoed from Walmart's pond.

The dragon's deep voice then rang out: "Alright, that person named Yamcha has been resurrected."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began searching everywhere, with urgent shouts rising and falling: "Ah, he's resurrected!"

Where is Yamcha?

"Where exactly is it?"

Shenlong then spoke, "Alright, all wishes have been fulfilled. Farewell, everyone." As soon as he finished speaking, Shenlong soared into the sky like lightning, his body radiating golden light. The seven Dragon Balls shot out in all directions like shooting stars, instantly illuminating the sky as if it were daytime.

Bulma stared at the disappearing dragon in the sky, muttering to herself, "The dragon is gone... Where is Yamcha?"

Just then, Yamcha's voice came from behind them: "I'm here."

Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw Yamcha standing there, soaking wet, with a toad on his head.

Poole's eyes reddened with excitement. He rushed over like a gust of wind, hugged Yamcha's head tightly, and called out again and again, his voice trembling with sobs, "Young Master Yamcha! Young Master Yamcha! Young Master Yamcha!"

Yamcha's eyes were full of tenderness as he gently pulled Poole into his arms, soothingly saying, "It's alright, Poole." Then, he took Poole off his head and looked past Poole at Bulma standing opposite him.

Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other knowingly. Yamcha's lips curled up, and he said with a hint of teasing, "We're going to be resurrected sooner or later anyway, so why throw me in the water and make me look like this?"

Hearing this, Bulma's cheeks flushed slightly, and a charming smile curved her lips. For a moment, the two of them stood facing each other in silence, as if the surroundings had been muted, leaving only their burning gazes, conveying a thousand unspoken words.

Then, 130 days later, the Dragon Balls were gathered again, and Shenron descended as summoned.

Everyone expressed two wishes, which brought dumplings and Tianjin rice back to life.

The dragon's eyes emitted a red light, and dumplings and Tianjin rice appeared one after the other in the light.
