And from there, the universe diverges VASTLY from canon, showing what would happen to the DragonBall universe if Goku hadn't been around. The results are...interesting to say the least. WordOfGod claims that the story was inspired by SupermanRedSon and JLATheNail, so that should give an indication of how different this world is.
