The Illuminati had already proven the Critical Period Hypothesis through experiments.
In other words, both humans and Dragonkin possessed this trait.
But recalling Huang Ji's earlier claim that humans carried Dragonkin language genes, Magician was still puzzled. "What does the human language repository have to do with Dragonkin? Dragonkin having this critical period can only mean that all intelligent species are like this."
"Through technology, Dragonkin implanted language into their genes. It was like preloading a language into the repository, so from birth, a language would automatically fill it. Humans, however, lack the ability to automatically learn a certain language and can only fill it later in life."
Huang Ji smiled. "For creatures in the Natural World to evolve language functions is an extremely difficult thing. It should require an incredibly long time, as well as extraordinarily coincidental factors."
"The human language system is even extremely unstable. If it goes unused for five years after birth, it directly atrophies; after ten years, it degenerates and disappears! This looks more like an incompletely evolved species having the language system forcibly added by an outside force. Even now, our genes still haven't adapted to it. If no language is loaded for too long, the genes judge it as, 'What is this thing? It's wasting my energy and has nothing to do with survival. Shut it down, shut it down!'"
Magician was about to say more when Huang Ji interrupted him. "Right now, humans indeed lack the ability to automatically comprehend a language."
"But perhaps humans once had it! It was only because the data in the language repository was later wiped clean, leaving humans with nothing but blank language repositories. They can learn language from their parents or the outside world, but a language system can no longer automatically emerge in their
