Could Zalama be the Father of Namekains?
So, if the Namekians come from the Demon Realm and they're the ones who can make dragon balls, does that mean Zalama is also a Namekian? I was thinking that maybe that he could be the father of all Namekains. The Super Dragon Balls are made in year 41 which long before Neva even existed. Maybe, he give birth to all the Namekains in the demon realm and pass down their knowledge to them.

Re: Could Zalama be the Father of Namekains?
That is very much possible given how both lore given by Daima and Super are vague enough to coexist, and how we have little background of their creation. The only possible divergence between the two as far as I remember being that both DB sets are supposed to be the "first sets", but about the Makai DBs it's not actually clear.
Super though, gives the background for the regular Namekujins DBs saying that they created them by using parts of the Super DBs. Zuno also gives extra details on how Zalama designed then, giving even more weight to the idea that they are indeed the first DBs in existence.
My headcanon is that Zalama is indeed the first Namekujin, who left the Makai and created the Super DBs, given how they were made after the creation of the mortal realms, so they were placed there between U7 and U6 which is also where Namekujins migrated to. So Neva might've been one of those Namekujins who got access to pieces of the Super DBs, but he never left the Makai, so probably other Namekujin(s) did that for him.
But Zalama could be a different type of entity, and Namekujins learned from him. He's called "Dragon God", meaning he might have something divine in origin, or maybe being the original Namekujin led to his ascension to a higher position in existence, above the average creator status that all the other Namekujins can achieve.
