No matter what method advanced civilizations used to contact lower civilizations, it would ultimately cause irreversible impacts on those lower civilizations.
These impacts included technology, ideas, culture, and even ideology. The most obvious example was Earth.
Early Earth had simultaneously been guided by Lieyang, the Denor survivors, and Angel Civilization. In merely a thousand years, it had leapt from the Cold Weapon Era into the Pre-Nuclear Era.
Afterward, having been completely exposed to the cosmic stage and becoming a battlefield for the gods, it took only a few more years to enter the Aerospace Era from the Pre-Nuclear Era. The speed of its civilization's development could only be described as a technological explosion, no less bizarre or unpredictable than the Triangular Bodies.
A civilization developing too quickly was not entirely a good thing. Its greatest and most obvious drawback was that ordinary people could not adapt to the impact brought by the rapid succession of eras.
People of every era had their own unique values, ways of thinking, lifestyles, and behavioral patterns. Civilization needed to progress step by step and settle over long periods of time. Only then could people adapt while the foundations of civilization accumulated.
Earth was invaded by extraterrestrial forces, after which all-out war erupted. Order collapsed during that time, and the entire world fell into chaos. Although this massive impact stimulated the development of Earth's civilization, it came at the cost of nearly half the planet's lives.
Leaving aside how horrific it had been, people's minds had also begun changing during the war.
Heroes emerged in troubled times. Living through such a chaotic period where survival from one day to the next was uncertain, many people had harbored such thoughts. They did not seek fame or admiration; they only wanted to risk everything
