Many people think you’re a humanist."
"Your World’s Reason and courtyard, they continuously grow stronger through trade and evolution, it’s practically the romance of mortals."
"....If the starting point wasn’t so low, why struggle so hard? Advocating hardship is never a good thing. If given a choice, who would want to start from scratch."
Lu Ping’an’s attitude has always been very clear.
As a supporter of the "Xuanwu Plan," he doesn’t have much attachment to the concept of "human." In his view, "Easterners" is more a cultural, social concept, and there’s truly no need to be overly fixated on genes and form.
The gap between Primitive Man and modern humans might be larger than between humans and Beastmen. Lu Ping’an doesn’t excessively favor pure-blooded humans; rather, it’s because most Easterners previously were pure-blooded humans, so he naturally prioritizes his own ethnic group.
If he could enable his kind to start from a higher point, why not do so?
"The first batch of newborn Dragon descendants has completed their transformation...."
When new individuals appeared in the Hatching Pool, Lu Ping’an, looking calm, was full of anticipation.
"How’s the situation, Liu Xiping?"
"Very good..... very good."
Compared to the past, Liu Xiping, an excellent graduate of Ancient City University, hasn’t changed much.
At least, still appears as a humanoid creature.
"Vision has elevated a bit, and it feels like the bosses have shrunk... uh, arms and legs seem longer, have I become the model physique now?"
Compared to the past, the appearance of the new generation, without changes, is the newly born Dragon descendants.
Originally around 1.75 meters tall with a standard physique, transformed into about 2.1 meters with a seven-head figure standard physique, the facial features remain yet become more handsome, the most noticeable difference probably being the two small horns on the forehead and some "scales" scattered on the body.
"Can the scales be controlled?"
After trying it out, Liu Xiping nodded.
Seeing him still rational and normal, others breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not about using young people as test subjects, but middle-high tier professionals are relatively stable, and transforming the body might lead to systemic collapses, requiring at least some time to adapt and adjust... the currently immature technology might extend this timeframe too long, even leading to the predicament of long-term absence of high-level combat power.
However, young people, the "graduates" eager for strength, not only don’t have fully formed power but have higher extensibility, they are also willing to "consume massively," expanding the Dragon descendants’ extensibility through the courtyard and this world’s evolution ability.
Now, under Lu Ping’an’s orders, his scales emitted a faint orange-red glow, a color and temperature akin to the Sun’s afterglow.

"Sun Vine factor has taken effect, Flame Dragon factor succeeded..."
The words sparked instant cheer.
This is probably the hardest thing to achieve... it’s not particularly difficult to let Sun Vine parasitize life, given the successful "Parasitic Tree" of Lu Ping’an’s body exists, but making it a peaceful, stable part, a gene module of the Dragon descendants, is quite challenging.
The shimmering "scales" aren’t the main focus; the main focus is from the gene and cellular levels, the Sun Vine’s "Holy Fire Cells" have successfully integrated, allowing these external organs to remain stable in glowing and heating.
On Earth, this fusion has a high possibility of failure, even if it occasionally succeeds, maintaining stability is difficult.
Yet, in this Evolution World, after Lu Ping’an understood this world’s rules, he easily manufactured such "Mythical Creatures."
"Starting testing of the second component. Gold Dragon testing initiated."
After receiving the order, Liu Xiping took a deep breath.
Next moment, with the scales as the core, spreading over the skin was a faint golden light.
"Did it succeed?"
"It succeeded."
As the "mother," Hua Xueyi eventually nodded, confirming the gene module was successfully transplanted.
At this moment, upon Liu Xiping’s flesh, his horns, nails, and scales all emitted a stronger golden glow.
Hua senior sister’s initial ability was the golden property alienation of keratin protein, this cellular alienation ability now transplanted successfully in the name of "Gold Dragon Cells."
The first batch only transplanted the abilities of Gold Dragon and Flame Dragon, but both are cell-level powers, yet are the foundational "traits" of life.
This trait simultaneously is also the "cell engine" of the Dragon descendants.
"How’s the physical energy?"
"At least quadrupled... possessing plant characteristics, it can autonomously generate heat, sustaining ability is stronger."
"The strength of metalized skin?"
"That’s entirely weak, the hardness of newborn cells is fragile, very thin, but according to Hua Xueyi’s statement, this is expected to grow."
Just like a baby’s skin and hair are fragile, adults naturally become coarser, combined with metalization factor, the more sedimented the harder.
The transplanted cells have already successfully fused in this world, the newborn Dragon descendants already have the "breath of the Fire Dragon," "skin of the Gold Dragon," and this still just marks the beginning.
In a way, Lu Ping’an is quite "loyal," in this Otherworld, he actually successfully initiated the "Xuanwu New Human Plan."
Lu Ping’an isn’t in haste to continue experimenting, the first batch of Dragon descendants need to adjust to the environment, grow, become professionals, and unleash their potential.
Among them, the Losers might be forced to return for reconstruction, among them, the successful ones can become templates for the next generation.
At least, "multi-generational inheritance" is needed to ensure stable and beneficial inheritance before Lu Ping’an dares to massively promote.
With the internal circulation power of the Fire Dragon and the physical strength of the Gold Dragon, Lu Ping’an then has the possibility of adding new components.
"It might take many years....."
"Already very fast, if not for this world’s peculiarity, merely this step might take decades and several generations."
Lu Ping’an feels the progress is too slow, Chris, however, portrays concerns about whether the steps are too large.
"Resources prioritizing them entirely, let’s escalate them to Decree-level professionals first, then assess the situation."
Simply a powerful physique and racial talents achieving excellence hold no significance, the goal of "Dragon descendants" is to enhance the ceiling, their compatibility with the existing extraordinary occupation system is crucial.
"Which profession takes precedence?"
"Let them develop freely.... recommend a batch to assume my Hero profession."
Lu Ping’an considers the "Hero" profession is the most suited for this new ethnic group.
Not merely following the "growth pattern of increasing passive traits," but more importantly, because the path of this profession lies with Lu Ping’an, he can adjust according to the situation, even custom-design a dedicated pathway branch.
"The emphasis is on assessing growth speed and the upper limit..."
While assessing the newborns, another issue emerges; Lu Ping’an seems to also prepare a "Race God" for them.
