Lin Ye didn't dare to copy any anime from the modern world, because he was afraid that the original creators would come knocking on his door. After all, this is a crossover anime world. If you write Fate/stay night, Rin Tohsaka might grab you by the collar the next day and ask you if you want to die.

Therefore, when Lin Ye copied novels, if it was a modern story, he would slightly adjust the protagonist's name; if it was a story set in another world, he would simply write the original name to save time.

With this in mind, Lin Ye typed even faster. Finally, several hours later, after typing the last word, he sent the new chapter from his computer to an email address.

"Eromanga teacher, this is a recent chapter of AngelBeats!, could you please add the illustrations for me? I'll pay you as usual."

Lin Ye knew who Eromanga Sensei was, of course. To be honest, he didn't expect that the other party would like his (copied) work and be willing to provide illustrations for him. To be honest, if the other party hadn't complained that the workload of the comic was too heavy, Lin Ye would have directly hired the other party to adapt his light novel into an anime.

After seeing Eromanga reply with an "OK", Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned back in his seat and prepared to open a bottle of soda to enjoy.

Just as Lin Ye opened a bottle of cola, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Master, the Dragon Balls of one world are about to be collected. Should we proceed immediately?"

Has the world collected all the Dragon Balls? So fast!

Lin Ye's eyes lit up. Was his... ptooey... his divine dragon about to officially take office?

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

As Lin Ye's voice faded, his body completely disappeared from the room.

.........

Demon Slayer World,

"You're so pitiful, brother."

In the darkness, on a plain, an old man dressed in samurai attire, wielding a crimson sword, looked at a strange man with six eyes and asked him this question.

He is favored by all the gods and descended to the world as a god. He is the pinnacle of power in the Demon Slayer world and the ultimate master of all breathing techniques. His name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni!

Opposite him stood his own brother, who had also embarked on the path of demons! Kokushibo, no, more accurately, his name should be… Kokushibo!

At this moment, facing this man known as the strongest human, Kokushibo showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his face was filled with smugness.

"Yoriichi Tsugikuni! No way! Why are you still alive! Why are you the only one who's survived until now?!"

Kokushibo stared in disbelief at the man before him! Swordsmen who have awakened their Demon Slayer Marks cannot live past the age of 25, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni in front of him should be over 80 years old!

Why? How could he possibly be alive until now?! If that's the case, what's the point of becoming a ghost just to survive?!

"Nothing is impossible, brother. Now, hand over the Dragon Balls. I know you have three."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni said calmly. A month ago, he accidentally obtained a yellow bead with three stars on it and learned about the Dragon Balls.

At first he didn't believe it, but what happened next forced him to believe it!

One enemy after another came to him demanding the Dragon Balls, but as you can imagine, they were no match for his Crimson Blade.

Although he didn't kill them, he still kept the Dragon Balls. At the same time, he also learned the location of the other three Dragon Balls. The person who collected the three balls was his former brother.

Knowing that his days were numbered, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was already over eighty years old, wanted to see his brother one last time before he died, regardless of whether the Dragon Balls could truly grant his wish.

And so, Yoriichi Tsugikuni arrived. Unfortunately, looking at Kokushibo, who had become completely demonized, he was utterly disappointed.

Upper Moon One—countless people have died at his hands. Yoriichi Tsugikuni had originally hoped that, if possible, he could use the Dragon Balls to save his brother. But now, he wouldn't.

He needs to pay the price for his actions.

"However, you didn't offer the Dragon Balls to Muzan? Originally... I was planning to take him down as well." Yoriichi Tsugikuni said confidently, and he was confident enough.

Hearing Yoriichi's words, Kokushibo merely raised the corners of his mouth in disdain.

"Yoji, look at yourself now. How can you, so old, still lift a sword? I can kill you without Muzan even coming here!"

Kokushibo was also confident. He believed that youth had an advantage; having become a demon, he possessed a superhuman physique, while Yoriichi Tsugikuni was already over eighty. With this disparity in strength, how could he possibly lose?

As for why Kokushibo didn't give the Dragon Balls to Muzan... the reason is simple: Kokushibo is not a good person. He is an ambitious person, otherwise he wouldn't have become a demon in order to surpass Yoriichi Tsugikuni!

However, after he became a demon, Muzan was forever above him, and he could never become the strongest. So, when he discovered that Muzan didn't know about the Dragon Balls, his ambition swelled.

He never expected that after finally collecting the three Dragon Balls, he would discover that his final enemy would be the enemy he both most wanted to and least wanted to encounter!

"Yoichi Tsugikuni, let me end your legend."

Kokushibo gripped his sword tightly, and with a whoosh, the cold iron gleamed under the moonlight.

"Ugh."

Kokushibo heard a sigh, which lasted less than a second. However, he felt a spray of blood fly from his neck. When he came to his senses, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was standing in front of him again, and in his hand, seven golden dragon balls were shining brightly.

(Don't get hung up on the timeline; the world is different now, so the passage of time is naturally different. Besides, with a system, isn't it normal to be able to travel to the past and future?)

Chapter Four: The Divine Dragon Appears! Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Wish!

"This...is this the Dragon Ball?"

When Yorimitsu looked at the Dragon Ball in his hand, he realized that his sword strike had just defeated Kokushibo, but that was his limit.

He was just a man, 80 years old, and he was weak and powerless after killing Upper Moon One with a single sword strike.

In the original timeline, he died immediately after using this sword, but now, due to collecting the Dragon Balls, he died a little earlier, but he still only had his last breath left.

"Divine Dragon... Divine Dragon... If you truly exist, then grant me my final wish!"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni's voice fell, but the seven Dragon Balls in front of him still did not react.

Seeing this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni sighed in despair, "Was all of this... really a joke?"

"Hahahaha!!!" However, Kokushibo laughed arrogantly. He had never been so happy. Seeing his younger brother, a hero he could never catch up to, now in his twilight years, he felt a surge of exhilaration from the inside out!

"Hahaha! Yoriichi Tsugikuni! You actually placed your hopes on something as unreal as Dragon Ball! You are utterly foolish!"

Kokushibo laughed heartily, but unfortunately, his laughter disappeared completely a second later because he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life!

boom!

Suddenly, the seven Dragon Balls burst forth with bright light, and a golden beam of light rose from the sky, which was seen by everyone in the Demon Slayer world!

Immediately following the beam of light, a bolt of lightning snaked upwards! When the lightning completely disappeared, a cyan sun appeared before everyone!

Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head a camel's, its eyes a rabbit's, its neck a snake's, its belly a clam's, its scales a fish's, its claws an eagle's, its paws a tiger's, its ears a cow's, it has whiskers beside its mouth, a bright pearl under its chin, and reverse scales under its throat. More importantly, just by quietly coiling in the air, it gives everyone a sense of oppression that makes them dare not look directly at it!

This is normal. Lin Ye's dragon isn't that defective one that would be instantly killed by Piccolo Daimaō. He is a true wish-granting dragon!

"Human, am I the one you summoned?"

At this moment, the dragon spoke in human language. Of course, since this dragon was originally Lin Ye in disguise, it wasn't surprising that it could speak. However, compared to the dumbfounded Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Lin Ye was actually a little confused as well.

Why was I summoned by Yoriichi Tsugikuni? So the Demon Slayer world is still set hundreds of years in the past.

Lin Ye had, of course, watched Demon Slayer and was deeply impressed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the pinnacle of the Demon Slayer series. He could annihilate a fully-fledged Muzan with 1500 slashes per second, terrifying Muzan so much that he didn't dare to resurface and cause trouble until a hundred years after Yoriichi's death. In the world of Demon Slayer, if he was second, no one dared to claim first place!

However, Lin Ye was only slightly shocked. Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni was quite powerful, could he be as powerful as Saitama or Kusuo Saiki? Let alone Saitama, even Genos, who had just made his debut, probably wouldn't have lost to him. So, Lin Ye's initial shock was nothing more than that.

However, compared to Lin Ye, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was truly shocked! Gazing up at the divine dragon in the sky, he felt for the first time how insignificant human power was, so insignificant that he couldn't even muster the thought of grasping a sword! Until…

"Human, am I the one you summoned?" Lin Ye asked once again.

It was Lin Ye's words that finally made Yoriichi Tsugikuni realize what was happening. Even with his usual composure, an expression of excitement crept onto his face! After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Respected Divine Dragon...I..."

The opportunity to fulfill his wish was right in front of him, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni froze. For a moment, he didn't know how to make a wish. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally reacted and asked...

"Dragon, is it really true... that I can grant any wish?"

“Of course,” Lin Ye replied. “Eternal life, the miracle of resurrection, invincible strength, wealth beyond measure—as long as you can name it, it can all be achieved.”

"What!" Yoriichi Tsugikuni finally believed Shenlong's words at this moment, but it was precisely because of this that he hesitated even more. Originally, he wanted to see if his brother could be saved, but now, he was completely disappointed.

He wouldn't waste his precious chance to make a wish on this, but what else does he want?

Wealth? Power? They were of no use to him.

A beautiful woman? He's eighty! There's no use in that. He does want to resurrect his wife, but his life is nearing its end. Resurrect her and then leave her a widow?

However, as long as I survive, with my own strength, I will still have a chance to obtain the Dragon Balls again!

As for strength? I am already the strongest in this world.

and so……

Ji Guoyuan looked at his aged body and realized that this was his last chance! What could be more important than living?

As long as he lives, Muzan will never dare to show his face again!

As long as he lives, ghosts are nothing more than a bunch of pests that can be easily wiped out!

Therefore, Yoriichi Tsugikuni finally made up his mind and shouted loudly.

"Divine Dragon! I want to restore the years... No! Divine Dragon! I want it!"

Eternal life!!!

Chapter 5: The Transparent World! Breath of the Sun!

"What!" Kokushibo, who was hiding to the side, looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni in disbelief. "Don't you think such a wish is too far-fetched?"

Immortality! That was Muzan's lifelong pursuit! You think you can achieve it with just one wish? How is that possible?

Unfortunately, nothing is impossible for Shenlong Linye.

At this moment, Lin Ye, looking down at Yoriichi Tsugikuni, paused for a second before speaking.

"as you wish."

Lin Ye's dragon eyes suddenly lit up, and the next second, a beam of light fell on Yoriichi Tsugikuni! Immediately afterwards, Kokushibo clearly saw that Yoriichi Tsugikuni was like a newborn!

His once aged skin became firm, his pale hair instantly turned jet black, and his lifeless eyes were filled with life! Kokushibo couldn't be mistaken! This! Isn't this the young Yoriichi Tsugikuni who suppressed everything!

"How... is this possible?! No!!"

Kokushibo was in despair, and in his attempt to survive, he became neither human nor ghost! Meanwhile, Yoriichi Tsugikuni obtained all of this with ease! Anyone who saw this would be devastated.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni stared at his hands in disbelief, clenching his fists and feeling the surging energy within him.

"This...this is actually true?"

Yoriichi Tsugikuni gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly and swung it lightly at a tree in front of him!

Brush brush!

A gentle breeze blew by, and this huge tree, too large for two people to encircle, was transformed into 1800 thin planks!

Seeing Yoriichi Tsugikuni's intense excitement, the system's voice echoed in Shenlong Linye's mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully fulfilled your wish. Wish giver: Yoriichi Tsugikuni]

[This is a reward for Master Yoriichi Tsugikuni's full strength.]

Hearing the system's voice, Lin Ye was also a little excited. He had gone from being an ordinary person who would be out of breath after running a thousand meters to becoming the world's number one. This feeling was something that Lin Ye naturally enjoyed.

However, Lin Ye wouldn't reveal all of this; he simply said...

"Your wish has been fulfilled, so... goodbye."

After Shenlong Lin Ye finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a golden ray of light. This ray of light shot into the night sky, then transformed into seven shooting stars that flew out in all directions.

As for when the seven Dragon Balls can be restored and used again... that depends on Lin Ye's mood. However, Lin Ye has now returned to his own world. Unbeknownst to the vanished Lin Ye, the entire Demon Slayer world has been turned upside down by these seven Dragon Balls!

"Find them! Find them for me! No matter what, bring those things back!" Muzan was so excited he couldn't control himself. Wasn't he sacrificing so much for immortality? Now, that hope was right in front of him.

Seeing Yoriichi Tsugikuni regain his youth, Kokushibo secretly disappeared into the darkness.

"Yoriichi Tsugikuni! Just you wait. You've won this time, but I'll collect all the Dragon Balls sooner or later! And then... I'll be the strongest in this world!"

At this moment, no one could resist the allure of the Dragon Balls, no one!

Unfortunately, the dragon was too busy to listen to their wishes; he was currently sitting on his bed, enjoying the power he had gained.

"Transparent World, Breath of the Sun, Demonic Marks... Wait! System, people who activate Demonic Marks don't live past 25! Isn't that a debuff?!"

Lin Ye suddenly realized that although he craved strength, he wasn't going to risk his life for it! That would be too much of a loss.

[Master, your markings are the same as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's. You see, Yoriichi Tsugikuni also lived to be 80 years old, so you don't need to worry. The system will not extract any abilities that are detrimental to you.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system was quite intelligent; otherwise, if he granted Dongfang Bubai a wish in the future, would he have to become a eunuch?
