"The age of the rise of the Haines people wasn't that long, especially after going through the brutal slaughter and annexation eras. The Meteor Fall Master holds records from the oldest era, up to the Aiven Era, documenting the first human and beastmen war that expelled the beastmen from the Central Plains."

"Currently, according to the Dragon Race ecological observations by Starry Abyss, it can be inferred that the Dragon Race is a highly stratified group with extremely strict internal hierarchies."

"Sub-dragon, Dragonborn, Dragonite, Wyvern, True Dragon, Celestial Dragon, High Dragon Species, Radiant Dragon."

"It's hypothesized that if a Dragon Race tribe can foster 200,000 Dragonborn annually, only 30 to 50 might eventually evolve into Wyverns, and among them, 1 to 3 may evolve into True Dragons or Celestial Dragons."

"The lineage of the Dragon Race is quite extensive. Reptilian creatures like Crystal Hunting Lizard, belonging to Scaled Dragons, are the lowest class of dragon species. One should distinguish: snakes, lizards, birds, and dinosaurs are part of the dragon lineage, where birds are specialized dinosaurs, and snakes are specialized lizards."

"According to this theory, crocodiles have never belonged to the Dragon Race. Instead, they are similar but separate species."

"So, accurately speaking, the lowest-level creatures of the dragon kind should be lizards and birds."

"In legend, Sylia Silver Dragon is regarded as an Immortal Silver Dragon, with an indestructible soul that can regenerate forever."

"To be precise, these Snake People, Lizardmen, Dragonites are not human. They are highly specialized Dragons with convergent evolution appearing like humans, and calling them Human Dragons would be more proper.

"However, the Dragon Race actually doesn't have reproductive isolation, hence interacting and merging with various species. The resulting Sub-Dragonborn are diverse. This also caused Starry Abyss at one point to see organizations like 'Pan-Dragonism', 'Dragon Nationalism', 'Pan-Dragonborn United Front'. Dragon Race never manages to achieve the goal of nation-building and civilization, fundamentally because Dragons themselves reject so-called 'unorthodox rulers'."

"Dragonites are more advanced beings compared to Human Dragons. They can be understood as humanoid evolved dragons."

"Among all Dragonites, Earth Dragon People, capable of becoming mountains and standing on the ground without lacking Strength, are the pinnacle existence. An Earth Dragon Person is equivalent to a Zeta Rank (6) strong one, above which are Wyverns (Draco) and True Dragons (Wyvern)."

"Only reaching the level of Wyverns and above can one be called a dragon. Wyverns are bipedal dragons highly skilled in flight, with spellcasting and combat abilities far superior to Dragonites, while True Dragons are the backbone of Dragon Race civilization, talented, longer-lived, stronger, more resilient, and extraordinarily intelligent compared to Wyverns."

"Most Dragon Knight legends are actually about contracts and agreements signed between humans and Wyverns, helping each other. Due to the infinite growth potential of the Dragon Race, Wyverns are willing to choose a partner to share risks like this contractual marriage, although it can only reach the level of True Dragons—at this tier, it's impossible to simply describe their existence, even without a Pathway, they possess terrifying spell potential and profound wisdom."

"Above True Dragons, only two types exist: Sylia Silver Dragon and Golden Dragon Goldden. Both evolved from True Dragons and far surpass ordinary dragon nobility, standing at the top of Dragon Race power and Martial Force, the Radiant Dragon can only evolve from Golden Dragons."

"Golden Dragon Goldden, in the records of Professionals, is considered a perfect being, essentially without weaknesses, born above all, standing at the top of the food chain."

"Radiant Dragons, though undocumented, were discovered through archaeological finds by those Haines experts, possibly being rulers within Dragon Race civilization, having Golden and Silver dragons buried with them, indicating power and rank far above them."

After saying so much, Xia Yubing especially emphasized one point:

"This time we meet Glina Swirl, who is a member of the Radiant Dragon Race."

"That means if there's no second Radiant Dragon, she might be the most legitimate Dragon Race Emperor heir."

"However, there's something very strange... In theory, Radiant Dragons should be genderless, yet for some reason, Glina's female persona and feminine side are particularly prominent."

"Please keep communicating."

Leoz typed slowly.

"Well done, fellows."

Severston reached out to shake hands quickly with everyone and even high-fived Caramel Snail, joking:

"I thought you'd be down for a while, but you came out so soon."

"Azi definitely wouldn't want to see me looking dejected." Caramel Snail scratched his head, still speaking in a sincere, old-fashioned way: "Even for him, I have to fight hard, advance properly, and then kill all those damned Earthlings."

"Well, the last goal is hard to achieve, perhaps let's postpone…"

"True." Caramel Snail nodded: "That may not be achievable."

"Exactly." Severston shrugged: "War never ends well, the world isn't about fighting; peace and development are the key, to destroy a species would definitely face opposition from many sides…"

"You're right, Severston."

Caramel Snail nodded, eyes softening:

"Can't go chasing whims, first kill all the Earthlings in Starry Abyss."

"Though I didn't mean it that way… better than the previous goal."

Severston shrugged, looking at Leoz, raised two fingers to his forehead, flicked them smartly, and said:

"Mission accomplished, General."

"The sniping was precise." Leoz nodded in praise: "When did you learn sniping? Never heard you were good at this skill."

"Actually, I don't know how to shoot."

Severston said as he pulled out something like a camera from his bag and tossed it to Leoz:

"My invention—'assassin' external aiming system, includes world clarity, Magic Bullet, intelligent tracking, rapid positioning, AI simulation, target recognition, split attack, rapid fire, Super Speed, Auto-Reload, Lock Head, Lock Chest, Lock Cow Cow, auto-correction—need to adjust parameters higher though."

Leoz, always unfamiliar with firearms, curiously turned it on, following Severston's instructions step by step to maximize the parameters.

"Severston, why is there a frame in my view? It moves."

"Someone is behind the wall, you've seen through them."

"Why are there arrows?"

"Parents from above are giving you coordinates."

"I don't have any though."

"Not having is right, guess why most protagonists with hacks lack fathers and mothers?"

"Why is this frame turning yellow?"

"Turning yellow is normal, means Green players are reporting us for hacking—the Layer Abyss environment doesn't seem compatible with this hack."

"Come, let's see what effect maxed parameters bring."

Severston said, pulling out several discs and throwing them up in the air:

"Let's go!"

Leoz stood still, the gun in his hand suddenly flew up, shooting randomly at the sky, a string of dense bullets smashing them all to pieces.

"How's it?" Severston laughed triumphantly: "Doesn't it feel completely different?"

Leoz looked at the gun in his hand and then at the shattered targets on the ground.

—Actually, he didn't even know where the safety was.

As a complete gun buffoon, Leoz grabbed Severston's hand firmly and said solemnly:

"Doctor, miracle worker, you're truly a godly doctor."

"Haha, it's just like that, I can make that thing in a week. But you were never interested in firearms before..."

"The past is past, now is now."

Leoz spoke confidently:

"I have awakened! I am now a handgun genius!"
