——To become a human.
At first, Ian was somewhat confused, but he quickly keenly grasped the meaning behind the words of the Twin Pontiffs.
To become human and to become Humans are different terms on Terra.
In this world, there are many alien and otherworldly life forms, and 'human' is the self-referred term for all intelligent life, Humans is their classification of their own species—in a sense, all intelligent life forms are humans, the 'primates' of their ecosystems.
But on Terra, the term for Humans specifically refers to 'Terra Humans'.
In the past, Embrace Light has already exhibited many non-human characteristics and peculiar colors; if they were to say in the next moment that the Twin Pontiffs told Ian that they were actually not Humans but some high-intelligence AI, relic machines protected by the Star God, powerful Voidrealm Machine Gods, lost maintenance systems of ancient civilization... Ian would not be surprised no matter how far-fetched it might be.
