Time House

Roger watched the lightning coursing over the barrier and immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

Roger only entered this state when he gained insight into a certain technique or martial art.

It was in this state of enlightenment that Roger had created God-level Instant Transmission.

On Kami's Lookout, a green-skinned man dressed in a white robe, with the character for "God" emblazoned on his chest and a staff in his right hand, was looking down at the lower world.

This man was Earth God.

Standing beside Earth God was a black-skinned man wearing a red vest and white trousers, with a strip of red cloth wrapped around his waist and a long white cloth wrapped around his head.

The man was named Mr. Popo, Earth God's servant.

"That person... stopped below!"

"Yes, Earth God!"

"What do you think he's doing?"

"I don't know. The clouds below are too dark; I can't see anything!"

"How about... dispersing the clouds?"

"Should we disperse the clouds, Earth God?"

"Yes. Whoever is trying to reach Kami's Lookout is no ordinary person. That lightning can't stop him at all!"

"Alright then!"

As Mr. Popo spoke, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted down at the dark clouds below.

"Earth God says for all of you to disperse!"

Upon hearing Mr. Popo's words, the dark clouds immediately stopped their lightning attacks and moved to either side.

Once the dark clouds dispersed, Earth God immediately saw Roger standing inside the barrier.

"A child?"

"Yes!"

Mr. Popo nodded.

"Then what is he doing there now?"

"I don't know!"

Mr. Popo shook his head.

At that moment, Roger awakened from his state of enlightenment, and a bolt of golden lightning appeared in his right palm.

Then, that golden lightning shot upward like fireworks, splitting into several bolts of lightning.

However, those bolts soon vanished into the sky.

"Lightning?"

"Yes!"

Mr. Popo nodded.

Then Roger used Instant Transmission and appeared on Kami's Lookout.

When Earth God saw this, he instinctively took several steps back.

"You are?"

"Hello, my name is Roger. You must be Earth's God, right?"

"Yes, I am Earth's God. May I ask what brings you here?"

"It's nothing much, really. I just want to train here for a while!"

"Train?"

"Yes. Is that not allowed?"

"It is, but... your strength has already far surpassed mine. I'm afraid there's nothing I can teach you!"

Roger smiled.

"That's alright. You can teach me things besides cultivation!"

"Besides cultivation?"

"For example, creating Dragon Balls or something!"

"Creating Dragon Balls!"

Earth God was startled.

"How do you know the Dragon Balls were created by me?"

"I know everything!"

Earth God looked at him solemnly after hearing that.

"If you truly knew everything, you wouldn't have come here to train!"

"All right, actually, I knew you were a Namekian!"

"A Namekian?"

"That's right. You Namekians have the ability to create the Seven Dragon Balls!"

"But how did you know?"

"Because, like you, I'm not from Earth either!"

"You're not from Earth? Then what are you?"

"A Saiyan!"

"A Saiyan?"

Roger nodded.

"How long do you plan to train here?"

"I don't know. I'll leave once I've trained enough!"

"Then could you tell me about the Namekians?"

"Of course, but I don't know that much either!"

"Then please tell me everything you know!"

"Sure!"

Roger nodded.

After that, Roger told Earth God everything he knew about the Namekians.

"Namek?"

Roger nodded.

"When you came to Earth, you should have arrived in a spaceship, right?"

"Well... I can't really remember. Popo, do you know anything about a spaceship?"

"Lord God, it seems there is a spaceship!"

"There really is?"

"Yes!"

Popo nodded.

After hearing this, Earth God sighed.

"It's a pity that I'm Earth God now. Otherwise, I really would like to return to my hometown and take a look!"

"God, if you want to return to your hometown, I can take you back!"

"No. Even with a spaceship, it would take quite some time to reach Namek. I'd better not go back!"

Roger smiled.

"What if it only took a few minutes?"

"Yes, I know a technique called Instant Transmission. As long as I can sense a Namekian's ki, I can teleport you to Namek!"

"Then can you take me to Namek right now for a look?"

"No. I still don't know Namek's exact location. Besides, if we go to Namek, I'll need to find someone on Earth whose ki I can sense in order to return!"

"I see!"

After hearing that, Earth God felt slightly disappointed.

"But once I go to North Kai's place in the future, I'll be able to take you to Namek!"

"North Kai?"

"North Kai is the god responsible for managing the North Galaxy!"

"I see!"

Roger nodded.

"So what do you want to train in here?"

"I want to know about the previous Gods of Earth, and also how to create the Seven Dragon Balls!"

"This..."

"Is that not possible?"

"I can tell you how to create the Seven Dragon Balls, but information about the previous Gods is confidential unless you're willing to become Earth's God!"

"Then forget it. Just tell me how to create the Seven Dragon Balls!"

"All right!"

Earth God nodded.

And so, Roger settled down at Kami's Lookout.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Over those three days, through his conversations with the God, Roger learned how the Seven Dragon Balls were created. He also learned abilities from the Earth God such as creating objects from nothing and telepathy.

At that moment, Roger was following Mr. Popo toward a room in the temple.

After entering, Roger saw that the walls were covered in clocks.

"Where is this?"

"This is the Time House. All time—past, present, and future—is completed here."

"The Time House!"

"That's right. You'll meet some truly remarkable people during this journey through time. As for when you'll be able to return from it, that depends on you!"

As Mr. Popo spoke, he fitted an hour hand and a minute hand onto a clock that had neither, then set it to three o'clock.

The entire clock immediately turned blue.

Then, the clock grew larger than a person. The color inside it first turned black, and then the entire clock face vanished, transforming into a black hole.

"Alright, go in!"

Roger nodded, then jumped in.

After entering the black hole, Roger saw clock faces floating everywhere around him.
