Amid the applause, a young graduate student suddenly gathered his courage and said, "Even so, if we cooperate with Eastern Continent, can't we use their Absolute Physical Space to send our mechanized humans there and filter them again? Besides, they have the most complete aerospace system, with conditions far better than ours."
The logic was simple. Almost everyone could think of it.
But no matter how simple a matter was, once it involved continents and beliefs, it became complicated.

Everyone fell silent.
In truth, everyone knew that this genius scientist deeply despised and looked down on Eastern Continent People.
Although Eastern Continent was far ahead in terms of hard power, the earliest scientific sprouts had not appeared there. Eastern Continent had relied on the Otherworldly User system to transplant Western Continent's scientific system.
In fact, many people thought that did not matter. After all, Western Continent had also adopted Eastern Continent's Four Great Inventions, civil officials and Imperial Examination system, secularized beliefs in ghosts and gods...
