Su Hao quickly sorted out the historical timeline of this world.
The so-called Summoners had evolved from Beast Tamers.
Once humanity's exploration of the world reached a certain point, technology began to flourish.

As exploration deepened and experiments continued, they successfully summoned the first ferocious Sub-Star Beast from another space—the Sub-Star—and called it a Summoned Beast.
And so, Summoners were born.
After several centuries of development, Summoners gradually replaced Beast Tamers and became the mainstream of the world.
Even now, the world's structure was still dominated by Summoners.
A Summoner's duty was to resist the various powerful Sub-Star Beasts that could invade from anywhere at any moment and safeguard peace in their regions.
However, Su Hao had one question: technological progress brought increasingly powerful weapons. With human armies and high-tech armaments, they should have been fully capable of dealing with invading Sub-Star Beasts. Why, then, were Summoners still the mainstream force against such invasions? To answer that question, Su Hao specifically looked through a great deal of information.
He found no dedicated materials that clearly explained the reason, but he still drew some conclusions from what he read.
There were probably four reasons. First, this world did not have many career soldiers, nor were they scattered throughout the world as garrisons. Instead, they served as a special deterrent force, deployed only under exceptional circumstances. More often than not, they restrained instability within human society. Moreover, most high-ranking military officers were also Summoners.
Second, if a Sub-Star Beast suddenly appeared in an urban district, the military could not respond quickly enough to eliminate it, nor could they use overwhelmingly powerful weapons to blast and kill it. In contrast, a
