Humans narrow the gap only through the learning of professions and the enhancement of powerful equipment.

To completely erase this gap, one must either obtain a powerful bloodline, abandon the human bloodline or body, or learn some powerful professions, or become an extraordinary caster... There are many paths, but each one is quite difficult.

"Aiden, I understand you. You should return to Metal Dragon Island now... I think your following me all these years must have made the elders of Dragon Island very angry."

Dion Bier said calmly.

He knew why Metal Dragon Island was so indifferent to the current mainland races. A thousand years ago, the elders of Metal Dragon Island, who had reached the Legendary Fifth Tier, specifically ’Ignis,’ battled the Mother of Deep Red. At the critical moment, a human legendary powerhouse retreated due to a threat to his life.

This directly resulted in the Golden Dragon Ignis being severely injured by the Mother of Deep Red. Even after a thousand years, no news of Ignis has been heard. Many powerhouses suspect that after the war, Ignis may have fallen into the Dragon Sleep due to severe injuries.

And that human legendary powerhouse was the most powerful and talented legendary powerhouse of the Ryan Empire a thousand years ago — the Unrivaled Sword Saint, who was also a peak powerhouse of the Legendary Fifth Tier.

The real history is that the Mother of Deep Red simultaneously battled the Golden Dragon Ignis and the Unrivaled Sword Saint. Ultimately, because the Unrivaled Sword Saint retreated, the Golden Dragon Ignis had to fight the Mother of Deep Red alone, resulting in both Ignis and the Mother of Deep Red being grievously injured, causing the Crimson Calamity to retreat.

In today’s historically spread stories across the mainland, the existence of the Unrivaled Sword Saint has been obscured. It has turned into the narrative of the benevolent Legendary Golden Dragon Ignis fighting fiercely with the Mother of Deep Red to save the lives of the mainland, finally defeating the Mother of Deep Red and causing the Crimson Calamity to retreat.

It’s not that the human side felt much guilt and thus promoted this narrative. It was merely out of concern that Dragon Island would use the Unrivaled Sword Saint incident to settle accounts with them. So, they cunningly made Dragon Island and the Golden Dragon Ignis into heroes in the legends of the mainland.

As heroes, surely they wouldn’t do bad things?

This directly placed Dragon Island on a pedestal, imposing moral constraints.

As a result, Dragon Island could not demand reparations from the human side, as this turned saving the mainland lives from voluntary to a matter of interest.

This made many Metal Dragons on Dragon Island feel a burning sense of anger.

This is also why, with the return of the Crimson Calamity in present times, Dragon Island’s attitude is so indifferent.

The old dragons from a thousand years ago still remember the vivid scenes of the past, with the fire in their hearts never extinguished.

Only some young Metal Dragons still maintain good relations with humans.

The Bronze Dragon Aiden is considered one of them. Although over a thousand years old now, during that terrifying war that engulfed the continent more than a millennium ago, he was just born and spoke Dragon Language falteringly, not truly experiencing the war, only hearing about it from his dragon elders later.

"Dueling alone? You’re courting death." The Black Dragon King looked at Dion Bier, who made the decision, with some surprise and delight, eager to taste the flesh and blood of a human Legendary Second Tier powerhouse.

Bronze’s gaze frequently fell on the troubled Bronze Dragon, with the Dragon Eye full of expectation.

Hurry and leave, would you? Your companion doesn’t want you, so why stay here? Bronze thought viciously in his heart.

Bronze patiently waited for a short while, seeing that the Bronze Dragon still hadn’t left, naturally didn’t dare to fight. Otherwise, it would certainly force human and dragon to join forces. Annoyed, he said,

"Fiddling around, this king is leaving!"
