Time seemed to have sped up as Nao relived his memory while relaying the Tournament of Power to the Angels, the Grand Minister, and the Supreme Kai of Time. Nao began with the introduction of Son Goku to the group, stating he is another Saiyan much like himself with an endless amount of potential. The group nodded, allowing Nao to continue the scenes.

They wondered what the Tournament of Power encompassed, and Nao revealed how it started. For those who weren't so familiar with this, it all began when Beerus and Champa held a mock tournament to determine a victor for the use of the Super Dragon Balls.

Near the end of that tournament, Zeno made an appearance, appearing annoyed that a tournament was held between Universes and he wasn't present. This led to discussion after discussion, only for Zeno come up with the idea of hosting the Tournament of Power. He then created a power ranking for each Universe, and revealed that he had plans to eliminate eight of the twelve Universes.

Of course, this wouldn't effect the Angels or the Grand Minister at present, so they weren't so shocked by this. This wouldn't even effect the Supreme Kai of Time, since she lived in her own domain outside of the Universes. Zeno also revealed that Universe 7 was second to last in the power ranking, and Universe 9 was dead last. This only happened in the original though.

In regards to the world Rebirth created, mortals that didn't exist in the original have started to make their appearances, such as Nim, Jake, and Elena. It also brought in characters from the movies and spin-offs like D* Heroes. This world also had to factor in Nao and Miya as well. Nao guessed that due to these influences, Universe 7 will likely climb from its original position.

Zeno also stated that four Universes, those being the first, fifth, eighth, and the twelfth Universe, were exempt from erasure. The Grand Minister nodded especially at this point. During his observations of the Universes since time immemorial, these four proudly stood on top from the rest of them.

The scene then shifted to the actual start of the Tournament. Nao didn't want to reveal all of it. If he revealed that Goku went Ultra Instinct, that might have repercussions down the line. He only showed a bit of the fighting, how flashy it was and the many explosions to follow, and last but not least, Zeno's twinkling eyes. Future Zeno was also there having fun watching it.

This 'vision' of Nao's ended the same way the previous one did, and his memory cracked into pieces. Before long it revealed his mindspace turned back into the vast white expanse again, and Nao and Miya reappeared. They waited for the Grand Minister to respond, who could be seen absorbing all of this information.

Nao then saw the Grand Minister speak out to the two of them.

”Thank you for sharing this, Nao. This 'Tournament of Power' is quite similar to Lord Zeno's previous event he hosted. Moreover, I just did a quick check, this 'Son Goku' you say, he hasn't been born yet, has he?”

As the Grand Minister asked this, Nao shook his head.

”No. Actually my mother and Goku's mother are very close friends back at my home planet. I can ask her later to see how Goku's mother is currently doing.”

The Grand Minister nodded after Nao answered him, and replied back to Nao.

”Very well. I won't inquire any further about this. From the looks of it, this event won't even happen until a few decades pass. Since that is the case, I will mark this the end of the agenda for today. Everyone but Whis, Chronoa and my two guests are free to leave at this time. Some of this information may impact your Universe directly, so I advised you to speak with your fellow gods. If nobody has anything to say, I will retire back to Lord Zeno's side.”

Hearing this, the Angels nodded at the Grand Minister's words. At this time, spatial distortions started to happen around the group. Starting from the left, one by one, the Angels' blue screens vanished. After a couple moments, only Whis, the Supreme Kai of Time, Merus, the Grand Minister, and the blue panel connecting to Nao's mindspace remained.

Nao then saw the Grand Minister speak out to him once more.

”Nao, thank you for responding to my summons. I will now disconnect you. I advise your sister to return back into her own body before I break this connection I have with you.”

Hearing this, the Grand Minister saw Nao nod. Miya was ready and her figure vanished from Nao's side. In another moment, her eyes fluttered a bit, and opened. Her conscious returned back into her body.

Seeing this, the Grand Minister removed his hand from Nao's back. He then snapped his right finger, and the blue panel started to distort in front of them. It then disappeared. Nao did not feel any discomfort as this happened, he actually didn't feel a thing. He just felt his eyes move a bit, before they opened.
