Clearly, the race known as the Golden Race had already mastered stable world-coordinate searching and personnel-transmission technology.
It was even highly possible that the Golden Race's technology had reached the point where, from received projection data originating in distant universes, they could reverse-engineer the coordinates of those universes.
That was also why Xia Shi had crossed into a world whose original work he had read.
As for Xia Shi, he might have been a test subject, or perhaps a lucky man—like a god spotting an interesting ant and, on a whim, granting one of its tiny wishes.
At the same time, classifications like gold, silver, bronze, and black iron made Zhao Cheng think of something—more precisely, several items.
Chalice of Life (Law): ...(Note: limited to black iron-grade lifeforms...)
Death Notebook (Law): ...(Note: a certain kind of toy, effective only against some weak black iron-grade lifeforms...)
Of course, these things might not truly have anything to do with the Golden Race from Xia Shi's memories. It could simply be a coincidence.
Still, judging by the technological power displayed by the Golden Race, they were far more than a civilization that had merely just ascended in dimension. They had surely become an immensely powerful civilization—perhaps even stronger than the Purple Moon Empire.
They probably had not reached Eternity, though.
In Zhao Cheng's understanding, reaching Eternity meant converging a vast number of worldlines, then converging timelines of sufficient length and condensing them into one; then traveling backward to the origin of time and engraving one's own eternal mark there. At that point, all legends would change accordingly.
If they had reached Eternity, then in Xia Shi's memories, the Golden Race should not have been the first life born in the universe. They should have been born at the source of all things...
