Watching Lu Yin's surprised expression, Realm Mountain Head Seat's lips curved into a smile. "Human technology has produced extraordinary talents over the years. Technology Starfield has created Modified Humans with the power of Star Envoys. Human Starfield has done the same, though restrictions on materials mean we can make very few."
