Custom Made Demon King

"Don't you have any questions that you want answered?" Looking at this demon in front of it that seemed to be 'in a daze', the Sylanna's Ancient could not help but urge him. "I won't be awake for too long."

"Ah, okay! Then I'll ask you a question!" Roy used his fingers to draw on the system interface while asking the Sylanna's Ancient absent-mindedly, "My question is, do you think the world you're in is real?"

Upon hearing this question, the Sylanna's Ancient was stunned. After a long time, he replied, "Of course, I think this world is real!"

"Really?" Roy did not stop his movements as he continued to ask, "Have you ever wondered about whether the world you live in is a world that some person fantasized? It could originate from a novel, a story, or even a segment of a script, and even the characters in this world are similar to the ones in the fantasy. If so, would you still think that your world is real?"

In fact, this was a real doubt that Roy had. Seeing the Sylanna's Ancient urging him to ask a question, Roy could not help but reveal this.

However, what surprised Roy was that the Sylanna's Ancient did not think further and immediately replied, "I think the world is still real!"

Roy's fingers paused for a moment. "Why do you say that?"

"Haha!" The Sylanna's Ancient burst out laughing. "You're really an interesting demon. You're different from all the demons I've encountered. They only ask me questions about killing and destruction, but they've never asked something like this. Perhaps it's as you've said, and the origin of the world comes from someone, some person's fantasy, but what does it matter? The world is real because we can feel our existences. When we can breathe the air, sense the firmness of the land, feel the heat of the sun, and see the changes of the four seasons, it's real!

"…" Roy carefully pondered over the meaning of this sentence and did not speak for a while. After a long time, he nodded at the Sylanna's Ancient and said, "I've learned! You really make sense!"

The Sylanna's Ancient laughed loudly, seeming to be very happy that he could help someone answer their doubt.

"Okay, I've answered your question. Next, in exchange, it's your turn to tell me about you!" the Sylanna's Ancient said. "Whether it's about you, the Demon World, or even your experiences with killing, you can share it with me!"

These words made Roy feel that the Sylanna's Ancient was basically a lonely old man that would catch anyone and chat with them.

Actually, come to think of it, trees were different from humans, elves, and demons. They could only stay rooted in a fixed place and could not roam around. However, Sylanna's Ancients were a very long-lived tree species. For hundreds and thousands of years, they had to stay in the same place. No wonder every time they encountered intelligent creatures, they wanted to chat with them.

"Okay, how about this?!" Roy sat down in front of the Sylanna's Ancient. "I'll tell you about my current experiences!"

While speaking, Roy suddenly had something in his hand.

It was a small crystal ball with a golden luster inside, and in the middle was a five-pointed star!

"What is this?" The thing in Roy's hand immediately caught the attention of the Sylanna's Ancient.

"Ahem! This is…" Roy hesitated before saying with thick skin, "This thing is a Dragon Ball!"

"Dragon Ball?" The tree crown of the Sylanna's Ancient swayed gently, making the leaves rustle. He asked strangely, "Is it something related to dragons? I've seen many dragons, but I've never heard them mention this…"

"Uh… This Dragon Ball has nothing to do with dragons!" Roy said. "I found it by chance. I checked many ancient books before knowing its name!"

"Oh? Is it something very old?" The Sylanna's Ancient was completely attracted by Roy's words.

"Yes! It's so old that many people don't know its background!" Roy's face became thicker and thicker as he spoke. "According to the records, there are a total of seven Dragon Balls, and the number of stars in them is from one to seven!"

Roy raised the crystal ball and showed it to the Sylanna's Ancient. "Do you see? The one in my hand only has one star in it!"

The Sylanna's Ancient understood immediately. "So, there are those with two stars, three stars, and so on?"

"Yes!" Roy fully entered the state. With a serious expression and a little anticipation, he said, "According to the legends, these dragon balls were created by the Dragon God—"

The Sylanna's Ancient interrupted before Roy could finish speaking. His bark face was full of shock as he said, "Wait… wait! You said these Dragon Balls were made by the Dragon God? Which Dragon God?! Is it Asha, the Dragon of Order, or Urgash, the Dragon of Chaos?!"

His question stunned Roy. F*ck, how did it end up with the Dragon of Order and the Dragon of Chaos? I was just trying to fool you. Why are you so serious?!

Roy could only say, "Um, I don't know either! There were no detailed records in the books."

The Sylanna's Ancient sighed. "That's true. If these Dragon Balls were really made by the Dragons of Creation, then it'd be great… Ahh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interrupted you. Go on!"

"The seven Dragon Balls are scattered in all corners of the world!" Roy said. "They have no effect when they are alone, but when the seven Dragon Balls gather, if you recite an incantation, it is said that you can summon Shenron! Shenron will fulfill the wish of anyone who gathered the Dragon Balls. Any wish!"

The Sylanna's Ancient was dumbfounded, and his leaves rustled. He was completely shocked by the legend Roy mentioned.

Roy did not create real Dragon Balls at all, but just beacons. Beacons could be anything, and Roy made them look like the seven Dragon Balls to prevent a single beacon from being destroyed or lost. When he designed them, the definitions he added made the seven Dragon Balls as hard as possible, and after gathering them, the positioning signal would increase to the maximum.

His original intention was to leave these seven beacons in this world, come up with a legend, and then borrow the mouth of the Sylanna's Ancient to inform the people of this world. This way, maybe someone would intentionally collect these Dragon Balls and save them. This process of gathering them would definitely not be easy, and it would take a long time. This would also give Roy plenty of time. After all, he needed to wait until he was stronger before entering this world again. The level of a high-rank demon was not necessarily safe, and perhaps he needed to be above that.

However, what Roy did not know was that the legend he made up caused the Sylanna's Ancient to misunderstand.

He truly believed it because legends about the era of the Seventh Dragon had always been circulating in this world!

According to the creation legend of this world, the primordial chaos gave birth to twin dragons. One was the Asha, the Dragon of Order, and the other was Urgash, Dragon of Chaos. Asha created the six Elemental Dragons, while Urgrash created the demons. The Primordial Twins had an all-out war, and after the Dragon of Order defeated the Dragon of Chaos, she secluded herself to recuperate. The history of the ancient world had been forgotten by future generations, but the six Elemental Dragons that Asha created began to be worshipped by the people of the Ashan world. Finally, a wizard named Sar-Elan became the first human to come into contact with the consciousness of the Dragon of Order. The Dragon of Order then bestowed upon him knowledge of the nature of matter, spirit, and the higher path of power. Enlightened by his new understanding, Sar-Elam ascended to become the Seventh Dragon. Sar-Elam's ascension started a new age in the world of Ashan, the Year of the Seventh Dragon, and he informed the world about the ancient history and let the world recall the Dragons of Creation.

Therefore, after hearing Roy's story, the Sylanna's Ancient immediately linked the seven Dragon Balls to the era of the Seventh Dragon. He even thought that if these seven Dragon Balls were not created by Asha nor Urgash, they could have been created by the six Elements Dragons and Sar-Elam. After all, the number seven…

If Roy knew what the Sylanna's Ancient was thinking, he would probably be dumbfounded. Speaking of which, this number seven was really a very magical number… The seventh day after people's deaths, people had the seven emotions and the seven apertures, the seven days of the week, the seven fairies, the seven dwarfs, the Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month, the seven Dragon Balls, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and so on…

It was too coincidental. Even though the Sylanna's Ancient had never heard of the seven Dragon Balls in his long years, he still believed it the first time Roy mentioned it to him.

When Roy told him that he was trying to find other Dragon Balls and gather all seven to summon Shenron, the Sylanna's Ancient excitedly asked Roy what the incantation to summon Shenron was.

Of course, Shenron could not be summoned, so Roy could only tell him that the incantation was lost…

"What a magical treasure!" The Sylanna's Ancient sighed. "Perhaps, it is the most powerful treasure in history? Demon, you're really lucky to be able to obtain one of the Dragon Balls…"

"Uh…" Looking at the Sylanna's Ancient's emotional expression, Roy scratched his head. Is he fooled? After becoming a demon, did I awaken a talent for deceiving others?

Roy stayed here for a while, waiting until Fat Tiger returned from hunting and having his fill before bidding farewell to the Sylanna's Ancient.

Looking at Roy's departing figure, the Sylanna's Ancient was unable to restrain his emotions. He did not expect this demon to be able to tell him such a secret. He felt that his knowledge base that had formed over thousands of years was once again enriched, so he was very excited.

"Oh, maybe I can share this news with others!" the Sylanna's Ancient murmured to himself. "Although this demon is not bad, it's better not to leave such an important thing like the Dragon Balls in the hands of a demon…

"It's decided. I'll pass on this news when I meet the next traveler…"

Therefore, the Sylanna's Ancient was basically a big mouth, and everything was as Roy expected…
