With Wang Dong's perspective, there was naturally no way he could fail to see this.
Neither the Kindling Human Civilization nor the Mechanical Race Civilization wanted to let a new evolutionary path take root within its own civilization.
The other side could use it as a foothold to interfere further in its affairs, and might even eventually complete an annexation!
This was true whether they considered the continuation of their own civilization or who would hold the initiative in an annexation.
The leaders of both civilizations would never allow such a thing to happen.
There was no helping it. That was politics.
Besides,
the evolutionary paths of the Kindling Human Civilization and the Mechanical Race Civilization were simply too far apart.
It was no easy matter for the two sides to coexist.
A civilization's resources were always limited.
One of the key factors behind the continued growth of both the Kindling Human Civilization and the Mechanical Race Civilization was the effective allocation of resources.
The result of pursuing multiple evolutionary paths side by side was often not that all of them flourished. More likely, they would all end up stifled!
The distribution of High Civilizations across the universe made this perfectly clear.
As far as Wang Dong knew, nearly all existing High Civilizations focused on a single evolutionary path and had advanced quite far along it.
At most, they developed one or two secondary paths as supplements.
Civilizations that were overly ambitious and focused on two or more evolutionary paths at once
often fell victim to brutal competition at the low or intermediate stages, wiped out by other civilizations that developed faster!
So the future course of development between the Kindling Human Civilization and the Mechanical Race Civilization was obvious.
"The two sides quickly scaled back their cultural and other
