Twenty years ago—even ten years ago—a "Divine Realm" unfolding on Earth would have been seen as a destabilizing element.
This was not merely due to its own influence, but because of the World's Logic's erosion of the world. Who knew whether the rules of that area would become the Truth of the entire world?
And someone like Lu PingAn...
"Did I subconsciously reject oil? Uh, could it really be because of that meme about oil summoning the American Military?"
The value of life should not be limited to serving as fuel. Perhaps it was this belief that had caused the disagreement between Lu Mouren and Lady Lin.
And now, this overly idealistic conviction had instead directly rejected the "fuel" created by life in reality. It was rather subtly ironic.
"If this were Earth on the original timeline, I'd probably have become public enemy number one."
A few decades ago, Lu PingAn would have been killed as an enemy of the planet. Modern technology was practically built on chemistry. Altering the properties of the most basic "materials" would mean rewriting who knew how many laws of physics and chemistry. It might even completely destroy the entire Technology System.
But now, the ability to "develop technology in other worlds according to local rules" had long since become widespread. Forget local professional teams—even veteran Explorers teams could easily develop a new technological chain in a month or even just a few dozen days.
In a sense, these specialized environments with limited scope often made it easier for new local technologies to emerge.
"It's not that specialized. Your Divine Realm isn't rewriting water, fire, earth, and wind. It's merely revising existing physical development to a certain extent. Fossil Fuel can still be used; it's just too cost-inefficient compared with electrification."
