Li Chen looked at Noah meaningfully, a faint smile playing on his lips as he raised his question.
Noah had always told him to keep evolving, saying that individual evolution was extremely important.
But he had never explained what it was ultimately for.
This question had actually troubled Li Chen for a long time. No matter what, he could not drive it from his mind.
Now, hearing Noah say that Star Devouring Divine Dragons were so powerful that their total numbers could never be especially high—
Ten million would already be the absolute limit.
That was why Li Chen thought of this.
Within a fixed region, such as District Fifteen,
The total amount of energy resources might appear limitless. In reality, they were only regarded as limitless because their quantity was so immense. But their infinity was a finite infinity; ultimately, they were still limited.
Since resources and energy were limited, it was impossible for any lifeform or any civilization to evolve and develop without end.
So in the end, no matter what level of civilization group one faced, what truly determined the outcome was still the amount of energy one possessed.
Technology was merely a means of converting energy into combat power.
But if one could master all the laws of the universe, what did technology even matter?
With a single thought, I could rewrite every rule. At that point, you want to talk to me about technology?
I could turn your technology into something "unscientific" first.
Let's see how you'd fight me then!
In other words... the legendary Level 6 Civilization—
Was very likely not a civilization at all!
Not a civilization that truly existed, but an... ultimate individual!
A complete, unified, omnipotent ultimate individual...
After realizing this, Li Chen could not help bringing it up to Noah.
