For Trunks, the combat power boost from the Ancient World isn't that significant. After all, obtaining a high combat power boost requires an extremely high level, which can't be achieved in a short time unless Trunks spends several years on the game. Even then, he can't be sure if the combat power boost from the game will still be useful when he returns.

After playing the game for most of the day, Trunks finally decided to quit. He had important business to attend to, and he chose to go to Zhenwu Mountain to meet Yi Shuihan, the Martial Ancestor.

Trunks felt that meeting Yi Shuihan might save his world; this was his intuition as a martial artist. He also wanted to know if he could become stronger and defeat the androids if he practiced True Martial Arts.

With anticipation, Trunks headed to Mount Zhenwu.

Yi Shuihan knew about Trunks' appearance immediately, after all, the Earth is only so big, and the spacetime fluctuations caused by Trunks' appearance could not be hidden from him.

Therefore, when Trunks arrived at Zhenwu Mountain, someone had already gone to meet him and brought him to Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 962, World Divergence

"You are Lord Martial Ancestor?"

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Trunks couldn't hide his surprise. He had originally thought Yi Shuihan was an old man, or at the very least, a middle-aged man. But when he actually met him, he found that Yi Shuihan was unusually young. It was hard to tell who was older between the two of them!

Most importantly, Trunks did not sense any aura of a strong person from Yi Shuihan. In fact, if Yi Shuihan had not been standing in front of him, he would have thought that Yi Shuihan did not exist.

"How is that possible? Every living being should have breath, but he has none at all. Could he be an artificial human?"

This conjecture made Trunks very nervous, because in his understanding, apart from the androids who could completely conceal their aura, everyone else, no matter how strong, would reveal a trace of aura.

"Don't be nervous, relax."

Yi Shuihan spoke softly, his voice like a clear spring, instantly putting Trunks completely at ease.

Trunks naturally lowered his guard against Yi Shuihan, a voice telling him to believe what the man in front of him said.

This change horrified Trunks, because even androids did not possess such miraculous power.

What's even more surprising is that, despite Trunks's clear and rational understanding that he should be careful of Yi Shuihan, whose background he hadn't yet figured out, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of being wary of Yi Shuihan. It was incredibly contradictory, yet perfectly natural.

"You should be a Saiyan, but you have Earthling blood. Can you tell me where you are from?"

Even though she knew Trunks' identity, Yi Shuihan still asked the question.

"My name is Trunks, and I come from the future, to Earth in the future..."

Trunks clearly didn't want to reveal his origins so quickly, but in front of Yi Shuihan, he seemed to be under a spell and involuntarily revealed everything he knew.

A full half hour later, Trunks finally stopped his speech after Yi Shuihan tried to stop him. By this time, he was filled with immense fear of Yi Shuihan. He had thought that androids were the most terrifying beings in the world, but now he felt that Yi Shuihan was far more terrifying than that.

Trunks still had the courage to fight against the androids, but when facing Yi Shuihan, he couldn't even muster the will to fight.

"If he can help me, then androids won't be a problem."

Once this thought took hold, it could never be erased from his mind. He looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly, hoping that Yi Shuihan would say something like "help me."

"I see. You are from another timeline. Your perception is somewhat wrong. This is not actually your previous world, but two completely different timelines. You did not return to the past, but came to a timeline that is almost exactly the same as your world. However, the historical process of this timeline is slower than that of your world."

"You said I live in another time and space, and this isn't the world I knew before. Why is that?"

"You've probably already noticed! Earth is completely different from what you know, even unrecognizable. This is partly due to me, but more so because this spacetime isn't your world. Let me explain it to you briefly..."

"...In the beginning, there was only one world. However, at a certain point in time, due to changes in certain things, a divergence arose, like a river splitting into two. The world also changed from one world to two. Before this point, the world was exactly the same, but after this point, it completely entered two extremes. The time you were in before and here is like that."

"So even if you change this world, your world will not change at all. It will just be the birth of one branch and another. If you want to save your world, you have to defeat the androids in your world yourself."

Yi Shuihan spoke slowly, and he himself had a conjecture. Perhaps because of his arrival, this world had been regenerated into a new world, and another world that developed exactly the same as the original story might still exist. To verify this, all he needed to do was go to the Supreme Kai and see if the number of Time Rings had increased.

Trunks couldn't tell whether Yi Shuihan's words were true or false, but he believed them because only such an explanation could explain why Earth had become so different, and why Zhenwu and the Ancient World didn't exist in his mother's account.

"In that case, I can only become stronger myself and then go back to deal with Number 18 and the others, but how exactly do I do that? Zhenwu, and the Ancient World?"

Watching the silent Trunks quietly, Yi Shuihan became interested in time travel and wanted to visit Trunks' world.

Yi Shuihan was surprised to learn that there was also an Omni-King in Trunks' world, because a person with the strength of a Saint could be said to have transcended the river of time and existed in a unique world. In Trunks' world, the Omni-King should not exist.

"What are your plans next?"

Suddenly asked.

"Can you help me? You seem very strong. Could you come with me to my world and save the Earth?"

Trunks countered with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"That's possible, but I suggest you defeat the androids yourself. After all, I'll be back."

"Really? That's great."

Trunks was overjoyed to hear that Yi Shuihan was willing to help, and temporarily ignored what Yi Shuihan was about to say.

"I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can grant it."

Once he calmed down, Trunks spoke to Yi Shuihan earnestly and seriously.

"Oh?"

"I hope to witness your power. It's not that I doubt you, but I just won't feel at ease until I see it for myself."

"How would you like to see what it's like to fight?"

Yes, if you don't mind.

"No."

"what?"

Trunks stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, never expecting things to take such a turn; he was already preparing to transform into a Super Saiyan.

Chapter 963, Extinguishing the Flames of Anger

"You're not qualified to fight me. You can't even imagine how strong I am. I'm afraid I might accidentally slap you to death if we start fighting."

These seemingly boastful and arrogant words made Trunks extremely uncomfortable. Little did he know that Yi Shuihan was being modest. Yi Shuihan could kill him without even lifting a finger; he could kill him with a mere breath.

"The androids are really strong. I can only barely fight one of them, but there are two of them. I'll release all my energy so you can feel it."

Since they couldn't fight, Trunks could only use this method to show Yi Shuihan the power of the androids.

"Haa!"

Trunks assumed a posture of arching his back and shouting, his aura rapidly rising. A layer of yellow flames enveloped him, his hair stood on end, flashing yellow and purple before finally settling on a solid yellow.

Super Saiyan transformation successful.

After Trunks successfully transformed, his combat power reached 2 million, which is extremely high for Earth, where the highest combat power is only around one million.

The entire Earth trembled because of the energy released by Trunks, and everyone on Earth who felt this powerful energy was shocked.

"Who is it? Such an enormous aura, it's too powerful."

"That direction leads to the Holy Mountain. Is it perhaps the Martial Ancestor?"

"There's no comparison at all. I thought my combat power was already 1.3 million, enough to be considered a mission-level fighter. Now I realize there are people this strong in the world. I probably couldn't even withstand a single move!"

In fact, what they sensed was not all of Trunks's power. Zhenwu Mountain blocked a portion of it; otherwise, they would probably have been even more shocked.

"Don't be impatient!"

The warriors of Zhenwu Mountain were so oppressed by Trunks' aura that they could hardly move, and they were all covered in sweat. However, when Yi Shuihan's voice rang out, they felt the pressure on them completely disappear, their mood calmed down, and they all bowed deeply in Yi Shuihan's direction.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Although they were very curious about who was emitting this aura, they ultimately did not fly towards Trunks' direction, out of respect for Yi Shuihan.

What do you think?

Transforming into a Super Saiyan, Trunks' personality also underwent a slight change. His awe of Yi Shuihan was gone; "you" had been replaced by "you."

It was indeed a crooked path. After the transformation, even his self-control decreased significantly, and his mind was affected. No matter how much power he gained, it was not the right path; instead, it would harm both himself and others.

Shaking his head inwardly, Yi Shuihan looked at Trunks calmly, showing no surprise at Trunks' transformation, as if it made no difference whether Trunks transformed or not.

Upon seeing this, Trunks felt a surge of anger for no reason and was about to attack Yi Shuihan. Of course, he didn't really want to fight Yi Shuihan; he simply wanted to make Yi Shuihan take him seriously.

However, the gap between Trunks and Yi Shuihan was too great. The moment he made his move, Yi Shuihan had already appeared in front of him, and a hand slowly landed on his shoulder right under his nose.

Even though it was so slow, Trunks felt as if time around him had almost stopped, but he still couldn't make any move.

When Yi Shuihan's hand made full contact with his shoulder, Trunks felt a strange force transmitted to him, and he immediately reverted from Super Saiyan mode.

"How is this possible? How did they manage to do that? What happened?"

Countless questions popped into Trunks' mind. He couldn't understand why he had turned back, no matter how many cores he had.

"Transforming through anger is not the right way. Only when you can completely control your emotions and transform under any emotional state will you have truly mastered the transformation."

What did you just do?

"You should have sensed it; I merely extinguished the anger in your heart."

The truth is, of course, not as simple as Yi Shuihan made it out to be. It's easier said than done. Only a cultivator like Yi Shuihan could influence other people's emotions. Even the God of Destruction and Whis couldn't do it. As for the High Priest, Yi Shuihan didn't know either.

Even though Yi Shuihan didn't display any truly destructive power that surpassed everything, and only spoke so casually, at this moment Trunks no longer doubted Yi Shuihan's strength. The strength of the androids was still within his comprehension, while Yi Shuihan had surpassed his understanding. The two were simply incomparable.

If Earth could be saved, as long as Yi Shuihan could be brought back to his world, Trunks thought about the bewildered look on the androids' faces when they encountered this monster, Yi Shuihan, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"What happened? No way, has this child become stupid?"

Looking at Trunks grinning foolishly, Yi Shuihan almost lost his composure and lost his composure.

"Please come with me quickly. The sooner we get back, the sooner some people will die."

After laughing, Trunks took out the capsule and, while saying this, was about to release the time machine.

"and many more!"

Yi Shuihan stopped Trunks's actions and said under his questioning gaze.

"Could you let me study the time machine first?"

"That's fine, but please be careful not to break it."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Trunks carefully handed the time machine capsule to Yi Shuihan.

"boom!"

With a casual toss, the time machine appeared on an open space to the side. Yi Shuihan stepped forward, placed one hand on it, and began to examine its structure with his mental power.

"Okay, I still don't understand, how does this allow me to travel through time?"

Yi Shuihan understood the structure; he could even completely replicate a time machine right now. However, he didn't understand why such a structure could work.

It's like knowing about gravity but not understanding where it comes from.

"There should still be fuel left, right?"

He turned around and asked Trunks.

"Yes."

Trunks took out another capsule and carefully handed the time machine fuel to Yi Shuihan.

This is a transparent glass tube, about the thickness of an arm, filled with a liquid that emits iridescent light, giving it a very mysterious appearance.

Yi Shuihan could tell at a glance that this thing was extraordinary; it was a very magical substance with properties of space and time.

Chapter 964, Cell's Death

Looking at the "fuel" in his hand with a strange expression, Yi Shuihan's thoughts drifted.

"The power of technology is truly amazing. It can even extract things with time and space attributes. And when these things are combined with a time machine, they can achieve the effect of traveling through time and space."

Images flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, all depicting the process of refining "fuel".

"However, this thing is still a bit weak. It can only travel through time and space within the same world and cannot achieve a true time travel effect."

Having realized this, Yi Shuihan's emphasis on the time machine decreased considerably. Of course, even so, he still greatly admired Bulma, after all, Bulma, who created this thing, was just an ordinary person.

"kindness?"

Suddenly turning his head to look in a certain direction, Yi Shuihan's expression was somewhat strange.

"They really arrived just in time!"

"What's coming?"

Yi Shuihan did not answer Trunks' question. His figure disappeared from his sight and then reappeared the next second, along with a brand new time machine and a creature that looked like an insect.

"This is……?"

Trunks stared in astonishment at the new time machine that looked exactly like his own, his mind momentarily blank.

"Tronax, you're still alive? I clearly thought I was going to kill you."
