Azure Lotus Supreme took the orb and looked surprised as well. "It seems Cubic Distance really does contain civilizations that dominate through technology."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "How can technology stand against Eternal Life?"
"Not necessarily. Every universe is different. The ultimate goal of cultivation is Eternal Life, but technology's ultimate goal might be the same. We just haven't encountered it yet," Azure Lotus Supreme replied.
Lu Yin looked at the largest creature. "How much do you know about this civilization?"
"Not much, but I've made some guesses."
"Guesses?"
"Yes, about the Technology Civilization." The largest creature was very cooperative, showing no resistance at all.
Creatures that made their living selling the coordinates of civilizations had no bottom line. To them, staying alive mattered more than anything. They sold coordinates for cultivation resources, so they could become stronger and live better.
Now that their lives were in someone else's hands, of course they were cooperative. "I once accidentally entered First Line of Heaven. There, I heard a rumor: the Technology Civilization is the hardest to take to the top. Any universe might develop technology, but its limits are easy to see. Compared with cultivation, developing technology to the same level takes an unimaginable amount of time, effort, and resources."
"Especially a Technology Civilization approaching the level of a Fishing Civilization. That takes endless ages to develop. In theory, no civilization can do it. But if one does, it will be terrifying."
"'Infinite resources, infinite technology'—that's what the rumor from First Line of Heaven says. In fact, it's also what many civilizations that have encountered others in Cubic Distance believe."
Azure Lotus Supreme nodded. "I've heard that, too. There's also a joke about the Technology Civilization: technology—changes the universe."
Lu Yin was confused.
Why did that sound so familiar?
Right—"technology changes
