More or less, it's just like the last part of the chapter said, That Tree in Silver Dreamscape is a Dragon Remnant(Corpse) and since MC(Human body) eat the Fruit, he evolved into part of dragon kin.We're going all in the dragon lore, so maybe the person outside is part dragon 🤔.

That's neither a recurring theme nor it shows that they share hidden kinship. The one with Cadmus is just a specific group of people. What you see in mythology is that all beings can basically crossbreed with any others. "dragons possess all the beastly traits we lack" makes no sense as well. What dragons are you talking about? Dragons are presented in many ways, as mindless beasts, evil creatures, great lords of the land, greedy creatures of forbidden power,... They seem to possess many things we have in spades. Same with fallen elves. And hobbits. Dragons are just used more as creatures of power (for obvious reasons) which at many points makes them represent either a government (or just the head of state, like the Chinese emperors) or some unsurmountable challenge (like famine or war). But there's nothing else beyond that you can tie dragons with, apart from being reptiles (well, or being just part reptiles, depending on the mythos).I absolutely love the recurring mytheme that humanity and dragons have some hidden kinship. From Cadmus of Mediterranean mythology to the crossbreeds of Dark Souls and its dragon covenant, there is something there. Dragons possess all the beastly traits we lack, and the familiar spark of sophonce.
We are not fallen elves, we are not risen hobbits, we are the distant kin to the rulers of the whole natural realm.
