Collective Ascension
With Highgineer calling them SS-rank seeds one after another, the Xie family members were the ones who got unlucky.
Setting everything else aside, a third-tier mechanical zombie unit with the "mechanical pollution" attribute was a strategic-level existence even in a level-three civilization—if it could be mass-produced.

The reason it was so ridiculously powerful was also because of the heaven-defying strength of an SS-rank species spore.
SS-rank species had already transcended the concept of units. They were the kind that could not be mass-produced.
