A Rundown of the Heavens: Thirty Gods, with Goku in Tenth Place

A Golden Ranking suddenly appears, placing the wild child Sun Wukong tenth on the list of the fastest to attain godhood. It took him just thirty years! As the myriad worlds laugh at him, this clumsy boy who can't even tell boys from girls will one day risk his life in battle, going from a primitive existence hauling logs to fighting his way across the galaxy, driving back an emperor of the universe, and facing the God of Destruction.

But what truly sends a chill down the spine about this ranking is the way he transforms from death to life, from mortal to god: Earth, King Kai's Planet, Planet Namek, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and the golden awakening deep within the Saiyan bloodline, sparked by supreme rage and an unwavering will to protect. Death is never the end. Instead, it becomes a stepping stone in his cultivation.

In one year, his battle power surges from a few hundred to ninety thousand. In one day, he crosses a chasm of hundreds of millions. In seven years, he attains a new form beyond the legendary. When divine ki ignites within his mortal body, red hair and eyes shine across heaven and earth. Only then do all the beings who once mocked him as a stupid beast realize in terror that every step of those thirty years shattered the myriad worlds' entrenched ideas about cultivation.

The Golden Ranking hasn't revealed the top nine, and the tenth is already such a monster. Who could possibly rank above him?
