Actually, stealing my technology wasn't a big deal. No matter how advanced it was, given enough time, competitors would eventually be able to imitate it, or even develop something more advanced. Of course, the other side had already produced these firearms in such a short time, which meant they hadn't merely copied them—stealing them was far more likely. But whose technology had they stolen?
I had already put away all my weapons and armor, so the stolen technology clearly wasn't mine. Taking another look at these firearms, I saw that there were no sniper cannons or saber-type firearms. Instead, they resembled the machine guns used by the Stormbeasts. I had equipped the Stormbeasts of Lan Shi, Chu Ruo, and Qu Meng with these. This meant that the Stormbeasts of the three of them might have fallen into the enemy's hands, allowing the machine guns to be replicated.
Of course, being able to afford machine guns meant that the immortals of the Divine Throne were extremely wealthy. Given their current ability to use the cracks in the World-Suppressing Cauldron's space and immortal power to manufacture these firearms and bullets, they had very likely already disrupted the financial system of this savage world. Firearms replacing cold weapons might soon become a reality.
These firearms' effectiveness against ferocious beasts might vary depending on the materials, but against hunters, they were simply peerless divine weapons. No matter how large an area a hunter's armor covered, there was still a high chance of being hit. With mortal flesh and blood and no powerful defensive abilities, being shot would either leave them pierced through or blow a hole in them. If the enemy coated the bullets with venom, the consequences would be even more serious. The appearance of firearms had not only rewritten the financial system—it
