Speculation

By combining Noah's answers with the information currently available, Li Chen

thought of these possibilities.

In an instant, his opinion of the Prite Civilization dropped several more notches.

However, Noah gave a different answer at that moment.

Host, based on what I know and the information I can currently access,

the Prite Civilization also seems to possess the technological means to harness the energy of any planet or star.

In fact, one of the criteria for reaching a Tier 3 Universe Civilization is mastering the technology to independently extract a planet's resources.

But I am also puzzled as to why they abandoned that method and instead adopted the more primitive method of plundering biological energy...

After all, this method not only violates ethics and morality, public decency, and the conventions and regulations of Cosmic Civilization... its energy-gathering efficiency is also extremely, extremely low...

Noah's string of explanations contained an enormous amount of information.

First of all, its answer clearly indicated

that the Prite Civilization had also mastered technologies for harnessing planetary and stellar energy.

But that was not Li Chen's main concern.

Li Chen had clearly heard Noah say that plundering biological energy was a "more primitive method..."

As lower civilizations developed into higher civilizations, their technology constantly advanced through upgrades and iterations.

Being called a "primitive technological method" meant

that directly plundering the energy of lifeforms from other planets

had once existed in quite a few Cosmic Civilizations.

At the very least, perhaps even the Noah Civilization had done the same...

"As expected, even high-level Cosmic Civilizations still operate according to survival of the fittest and the strong devouring the weak."

"Darwin's Law and the Law of the Jungle exist within every civilization."

"This should be a common trait shared by every race in the universe..."
