The specific targeting of the Auric Sea made Wei Wuyin recall something that Wu Yu mentioned when they were discussing various matters years ago. According to him, the Divine King Han Xei had a huge problem with dragons of the starfield. For some reason or another, he had acted in genocide.
Curious, he asked what these dragons were like. He had met Anu, a living and breathing dragon that was struggling for lifeforce. It didn't seem to hold any hatred towards him specifically, lacking the distinct anger of a species that went nearly extinct by a human's actions.
He believed the dragons might be in hiding or in hibernation, awaiting for the right time to awaken. But he felt that wasn't correct. So when Wu Yu explained that dragons were originally the rulers of this starfield, he was shaken.
