Chapter 319: Great Elder
"Finally arrived here, Namek!"
Looking at the yellow-green planet beneath his feet, which was at least ten times larger than Earth, a smile appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face.
The larger a planet is, the stronger its gravity generally is, and the life forms living on it are correspondingly more powerful; compared to humans on Earth, Namekians are definitely an incomparably powerful race.
Even without counting Combat-type Namekians and All-around type Namekians, just the most ordinary Namekian civilians possess at least several hundred in Power Level after reaching adulthood, with a general Power Level of around one thousand—this is already not the slightest bit inferior to a Lower-class Saiyan warrior.
As for Combat-type Namekians, their Power Levels are basically calculated in the tens of thousands; to a certain extent, the racial talent of Namekians is not inferior to that of Saiyans.
Saiyans possess the Super Saiyan transformation, and Namekians also possess their own Fusion; in combat, Saiyans might be slightly more talented than Namekians, but the various superpowers of the Namekians make up for this deficiency.
Looking at his energy, Uchiha Feiyu's Power Level is 30,000, but relying on Qi of a higher quality, his actual combat strength is nearly one million; using certain techniques, his Power Level can even be raised to the level of two or three million.
This kind of combat strength could theoretically flatten the entire Namek, but if the Namekians were truly pushed to the brink and began to fuse frantically, he would have to flee in a panic.
Of course, if they were to truly fuse with one another, the losses for the Namekians would also be immense. The current Namekians have only just recovered from a great catastrophe and are very few in number; unless pushed to the limit, they certainly wouldn't have nothing better to do than play at collective fusion.
The Spaceship entered Namek's atmosphere and soon landed on the planet's surface. Uchiha Feiyu had just stepped out of the Spaceship when he felt waves of Qi fluctuations approaching.
"Are those Namekians? Quite vigilant."
Uchiha Feiyu glanced in the direction the Qi was coming from, though he wasn't particularly surprised. Namekians are a very rare race that develops fully in heart, body, and technique, completely different from the powerful races that occupy the vast majority of the universe and only know how to go "boom, boom, boom."
Not only do they possess extremely high combat talent, with ordinary Namekians having a Power Level over a thousand upon adulthood, but they also possess various superpowers: telekinesis, telepathy, and creating objects out of thin air—basically, all Namekians are capable of using these more common superpowers.
Furthermore, Namekians are born with an extremely high spiritual realm, which may be because their life form is very similar to plants; ordinary Namekians almost all maintain an aura of harmony between man and nature.
As for those All-around type Namekians, their realms are even more unfathomable; abilities like reading Qi and sensing Qi are things they know without being taught.
And the current Great Elder of Namek is an All-around type Namekian. Never mind reading and sensing Qi; judging from his performance in the original work, Uchiha Feiyu suspects that this guy can even manage a bit of precognition.
After all, although that Great Elder in the original work had no combat strength left due to reproducing a large number of offspring, the realm he cultivated over long, long years, combined with his open-minded state of heart, makes it perfectly normal for him to have a specialty in this area.
He hadn't concealed his Qi when entering the planet. A Power Level of 30,000 might not look very strong in the original work, but in reality, it is already a top-tier expert in the universe; among thousands of life-bearing planets, there might only be one such powerhouse.
Even for a race like the Namekians that can be called Demigods, the only one currently possessing a Power Level over 30,000 is the Combat-type Namekian Nail. It is perfectly normal for them to be wary of an incoming powerhouse.
After getting off the Spaceship, Uchiha Feiyu did not leave, mainly because he didn't know where the Great Elder of Namek was.
Although the energy within Uchiha Feiyu's body is of extremely high quality, such that his combat strength is comparable to an expert at the million-level, he has no bonuses in other areas; for instance, his sensory ability is still not much different from those Earth warriors with a Power Level of 30,000, and he has no way to cover the entire planet.
"They're here... This Qi is quite strong. Is that the Combat-type Namekian?"
Uchiha Feiyu's heart stirred slightly as he watched several points of light arrive from afar. In almost an instant, they reached his front and then descended.
"Outsider, what is your purpose in coming to Namek?"
The leading Namekian had a young face and full muscles. He looked at Uchiha Feiyu with a very vigilant expression and spoke to ask him.
The other party's voice was a bit strange, but it was still possible to tell it was the Universal language—in fact, the language on Earth is the Universal language, which is said to be a language established by higher-level gods, so even some planets that have not integrated with the universe speak the same language.
However, Namekians also have their own unique Namekian language. Uchiha Feiyu suspects this is because this race has an inextricable connection with the Dragon God, which is why a unique language appeared.
Uchiha Feiyu sensed slightly; the other party's Power Level had just barely reached about 40,000. In the original work, this Combat-type Namekian should have had a Power Level of 42,000, but Uchiha Feiyu arrived on Namek more than ten years earlier than in the original work, so the other party's Power Level hadn't reached that level yet.
"Don't be nervous. I didn't come to fight you Namekians."
Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand and glanced at this group of Namekians. All of them had nervous expressions on their faces, which made Uchiha Feiyu feel a bit strange.
Even if the Qi on his body was a bit evil, it hadn't reached the point of being beyond saving! One must know that in the Dragon Ball World, besides being related to one's own heart, Qi is also greatly related to the number of people killed. Having slaughtered thousands upon thousands of intelligent lives, the Qi on one's body will naturally be entangled by the resentment of those intelligent lives, and the texture of the Qi will also undergo certain changes.
Since Uchiha Feiyu started his career, although he had finished off some people, the number was probably not even in the double digits. Logically speaking, even if his Qi leaned toward the evil side, it shouldn't be too frightening, right? One must know that Nail's strength, on the surface, was actually even stronger than Uchiha Feiyu's! Why the look of such extreme caution? In fact, Uchiha Feiyu was unaware that after his Qi absorbed countless amounts of destruction and decay energy, its texture was completely different from ordinary Qi. In the sensing of these Namekians, although Uchiha Feiyu's energy was not strong, it was full of the destructiveness of all things decaying and returning to nothingness, as if they were facing destruction itself.
Under these circumstances, these Namekians naturally had no way to set their minds at ease, and being full of caution was a matter of course.
"State your purpose, outsider."
Nail took a deep breath, looked at Uchiha Feiyu, and asked again. Uchiha Feiyu raised his eyebrows:
"Alright, I have something I'd like to discuss with your Great Elder."
"Sorry, I cannot let a dangerous person like you go see the Great Elder!"
Hearing this, Nail refused without a second thought. Are you kidding? Even he felt a bit of a tremor just looking at such a terrifying guy; if he let him go see the Great Elder and the other party suddenly snapped, what would happen? "What a bother... Actually, I don't really want to use force." Uchiha Feiyu sighed, first giving a light tap on the Spaceship behind him. With a 'bang', the incomparably huge Spaceship turned into a small Capsule and was grabbed into his hand.
Putting his biggest weakness into his bosom, Uchiha Feiyu turned his head to look at the group of Namekians before him and grinned: "But since you aren't sensible, I can only use my fists to make you guys recognize reality!"
"My words are a command, not a request!"
As soon as his voice fell, Uchiha Feiyu appeared in front of Nail in an instant like a stream of light. Before Nail could react, he felt a violent pain in his abdomen and was sent flying backward.
The group of Namekians following Nail were even worse off; their Power Levels were only a few thousand. Uchiha Feiyu just flicked his fingers, and several beams of light blew them all away, leaving them unable to rise from the ground.
However, Uchiha Feiyu held back. Although these Namekians were not lightly injured, given their tough physiques and terrifying regenerative abilities, this kind of injury would be completely recovered in minutes as long as they consumed stamina.
"Ugh... Da, damn it! Did he hide his Power Level? The opponent's Power Level seems to be far above mine..."
Nail slowly crawled up. Although that punch just now had almost shattered his internal organs, under the circumstances of him consuming stamina to accelerate recovery, he regained combat capability in just a very short time.
It was just that his stamina was greatly depleted, and a drop in Power Level was unavoidable.
"Still planning to continue fighting? You should understand the gap between the two of us by now!"
Nail took a breath and said through gritted teeth: "Perhaps I am not your match, but don't even think about doing anything to the Great Elder. Even if I have to give everything, I will stop you!"
Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes slightly:
"Heh, giving everything to stop me? Just based on you? Besides, I won't do anything to your Great Elder—how old is that old man? Even if I don't make a move, he won't live for another 20 years, right?"
20 years is still a very long time for humans, but for Namekians, it's not much different from a mere three or four years.
The lifespan of an ordinary Namekian is at least over 300 years; as for the Great Elder, he should already have a lifespan of around 500 years.
"You guy!"
Just when Nail wanted to do something more, his expression suddenly changed. A mental telepathy came into his mind. A moment later, an indignant expression appeared on his face, but he lowered his head and said: "Follow me. The Great Elder is waiting for you at his palace."
A look of realization appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face; clearly, that Great Elder had sent a telepathic message to this Nail.
Although the Great Elder no longer had any combat strength, just the fact that he could clearly understand the situation here from so far away and could transmit information showed how high this guy's realm was.
Under Nail's lead, Uchiha Feiyu flew with him for about half an hour before seeing a steep hillside in the distance. On the hillside was a huge house that looked like an ant nest.
This kind of mound-shaped house can be considered a Dragon Ball feature; not only on alien planets like Namek, but there are also many such houses on Earth, and even the houses created by Majin Buu have a style similar to insect nests.
"... Tsk, Uncle Bird's taste is really bad!"
"What!?"
Nail was quite puzzled by Uchiha Feiyu's sudden snarky remark, looking at Uchiha Feiyu with a bewildered expression, but Uchiha Feiyu did not offer much of an explanation and flew directly downward.
After entering the ant-like nest, Uchiha Feiyu looked up and saw the Great Elder standing at the entrance, his figure massive and his face aged.
From the wrinkles and age spots on this Great Elder's body, it was evident that he was already extremely frail, to the point where it was difficult for him to move his own massive frame, and he required a cane to help him barely stand; however, judging by his positioning and serious expression—this guy seemed a bit respectful?
Uchiha Feiyu was slightly stunned for a moment, but quickly cast the thought from his mind, secretly thinking that it was probably because his own strength had made this old guy a bit uneasy.
After all, the Great Elder's sensing ability was extremely powerful; back when Goku arrived on Namek without using the King Kai Fist, he had already sensed "a powerful force is approaching Namek," so it was perfectly normal for him to be able to perceive Uchiha Feiyu's hidden strength.
"Welcome, this... this visitor. May I ask what business brings you here?"
The Great Elder spoke in a gentle voice, and Uchiha Feiyu's expression changed slightly.
Something was wrong, very wrong; if Uchiha Feiyu had felt it was an illusion just a moment ago, he was now certain that this Great Elder was indeed extremely respectful toward him, though as for the specific reason, he could not figure it out.
Could this old man really predict the future and discover that he was actually their savior? That's ridiculous; given Uchiha Feiyu's personality, even if he possessed the strength, he could never be any sort of savior. But regardless of the reason, since the other party was being very respectful to him now, he would naturally take this opportunity to plan a bit more for himself.
"Hello, Great Elder of Namek. I don't have any other business here; I just hope you can help me with Potential unlocking."
"Potential unlocking? No problem, that is exactly my specialty."
The Great Elder agreed without a second word, then reached out a hand and placed it on Uchiha Feiyu's head.
