What would happen if, at the end of GT, when Shenron appeared after the fight with Omega, someone either destroyed him or killed Dende?

This time, comin' for the Namekians. First off, I have a theory that they are extremely susceptible to the cold. It would make sense, because, wasn’t most of Namek wiped out by a heatwave? This could have caused them to adapt to have a naturally colder body temperature. And they wear heavy clothes, which could also be to shield them from the sun, but also to help them stay warm. This would also explain Piccolo's cape. Not only is it stylish, but it's for heat.
I also think that Namekians use photosynthesis for their energy, effectively making them plantlike. It would explain why they are green. It also may be what allows them to regrow limbs, and why the heatwave killed so many. They also rarely eat solid food, instead relying on water for their main nutrition source. And it would also add to why they may be so susceptible to cold. Now, let’s see what makes them so plantlike.
Plants:
Can't get too hot
Can't get too cold
Mostly need water to survive (unless they're carnivorous plants)
Can make whole new plants from cuttings
Are green
CAN photosynthesize
Namekians:
Can't get too hot
Can't get too cold
Mostly need water to survive (eats food on occasion)
Can regrow an entire body from their head
Are green
MAY BE ABLE TO photosynthesize
Is that an add-up, or am I crazy?

Like the original Namekian (Kami and Piccolo back when they were one person), Lin was born on Planet Namek. She came to Earth at a different time than the original Namekian because her ship got blown off course (caught in a nebula), so when she did make it to Earth, Goku had already killed King Piccolo (The evil half of the original Namekian) and his son, Piccolo Jr. was around the same age as her (they were little kids at the time).
A few days after arriving on Earth, she was wondering in the woods where she met Piccolo. They just stared at each other until a small noise was heard and once Lin turned her back, Piccolo vanished from her sight. She soon bumped into Goku and his friends; became a member of the Dragon Team/Z Fighters. She’s really close friends with Goku, Krillin, and Bulma.
Years passed by and soon Lin grew into a beautiful young woman. Don’t let her looks fool you though, she’s a trained martial artist and being an alien, she has powers no human would possibly imagine having! And like Goku and Piccolo, Lin generally wears and trains with weighted clothing (her gloves and the things attached to her sash [the sash is called an obi]). Tough as nails, no nonsense, feisty, a bit stubborn at times, but underneath it all, she’s as nice a person as they come.
She met up with Piccolo again and they started to interact more with one another (started dating in secret, even though Piccolo was considered Goku’s enemy at the time; their form of “dating” is basically sparing each other to get stronger). Lin was able to change the male Namekian’s ways with her heart (along with the friendship he made with Goku’s son, Gohan).
Piccolo changed from bad to good and after the whole Frieza Fiasco (that was when she got her scars), he asked Lin to be his mate; she said yes. Neither of them could be more happy than they already were. And to this very day, Lin continues to fight for the greater good, with her friends and beloved mate. Nothing can stop this girl! (Later on in life, she has a son with Piccolo; they name him Flute)
Lin is also considered the last female Namekian because on that day when she left Planet Namek as a kid, all the females were killed during the planet’s chaotic state; forcing the males to adapt to reproducing children on their own so their race wouldn’t die out.
Flute, son of Piccolo and Lin.

I should use this as evidence as to why I should never watch Dragon Ball after partaking in the Devil's Lettuce. I was working on my ranked list of Dragon Ball movies when a certain mistake began to bother me. For those who don't know or haven't seen Movie 6, Dende has taken up the position of Guardian much earlier in the timeline that in the manga and anime.
Now, must would just right this off as a blunder from Toei as it isn't uncommon for them to make such a blunder. However, it becomes weird once you look at the real world implications of the scenario. Considering that Dende's the Guardian, most would assume that this movie came out around the same time as the Cell Saga, but that's not the case. This movie came out in March of 1992, Dende wasn't reintroduced into the manga until October of that year. So before he even became Guardian in the manga, he was Guardian in this movie which raises the question: where did this error come from?
It's not like the higher ups got a heads up in the making of the movie during production. Akira Toriyama is known to come up with twists and turns on the fly, changing the direction of an arc on a whim, so it's possible he didn't even have Dende's return planned in advance. While Kami and Piccolo's fusion was showcased in the manga a month before the movie was originally released, I doubt that Toei had enough time to replace Kami for Dende. And that's even if Toei cared, as far as the anime watching fans were concerned, Kami was alive and well as the Guardian.
While it could just be a slip up from the animation team, this is too much of a coincidence to be just that. Such as a montal plot point accidentally being predicted by the Toei animators? I can only come to one conclusion:
