After a limited exchange, Yue Luo Liuli hurriedly transformed into her dragon form and slipped back beyond the atmosphere, then cast a divine ability toward Jupiter. Her enormous dragon body unfurled and danced across the far side of the moon, beyond the sight of mortals on God Continent, leaving purple trails in its wake.
That was dragon script.
Although, classified according to Earth's linguistic categories, the dragon language was an inflected language, and its most basic writing system was also a kind of alphabet, that alphabet looked unlike any script on Earth.

It possessed only twenty-two consonants and no vowels; its pronunciation had to be determined in conjunction with the specific language.
This script later became the Greek alphabet, spreading throughout Europe alongside Greek civilization.
The wonder of the Phoenician alphabet was that it was not merely a script, but more like a living algorithm. It could adapt to any native language and generate writing suited to that people's own tongue—making the cost of creating a script incomparably low.
By modern times, anyone with the inclination could create an entire script, or even a language, based on existing writing systems.
No other writing system on Earth could compare in this regard.
