Lu Yuan racked his brains and came up with a few possibilities.
"The first possibility is to actually have two milestones."
"One is taming the anomaly."
"The other is utilizing the anomaly."
"Taming the anomaly is difficult, whereas utilizing it is simple, and I completed the more difficult taming of the anomaly... which is why I took the lead."
As for the second possibility, it is rather terrifying.
"Second Generation Civilization should not just consist of the Rize Civilization alone."
"So many Second Generation Civilizations, and there are really no living anomalies? Impossible."
"The most likely explanation is that most Second Generation Civilizations have been extinguished... that is, the Ninth Epoch has few Second Generation Civilizations. Naturally, I could take first place."
The Rize Civilization is not a true Second Generation Civilization.
According to the Undying Giant Turtle, the Rize Civilization is merely a group of domesticated livestock!
