Scholar Civilization (Part 2)

Fladick's expression darkened. He seemed to be seriously considering the possibility raised by Xixi Li's words, and slowly sat down.

The atmosphere in the assembly hall grew oppressive once more.

Xixi Li looked toward Reilo again.

"However, Mr. Reilo, I differ from your point of view in some respects. From the perspective of understanding the laws, the so-called Temple Civilization and Pantheon Civilization have not fundamentally changed their understanding of the laws. So I think your claim that Level 2 and Level 3 Civilizations should be combined into one category may be more accurate. What do you think?"

Reilo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly shook it.

"Esteemed Ms. Xixi Li, I'm sorry, but I disagree with you."

Xixi Li said proudly, "I'd like to hear your reasoning."

Reilo replied calmly, "The difference between Temple Civilization and Pantheon Civilization is like the difference between Level 4 Cataclysm Civilization and Level 5 Lighthouse Civilization. The power of Level 4 Cataclysm Civilization lies in making law weapons commonplace. As for Level 5 Lighthouse Civilization, I believe its power comes from aligning with the essence of biological evolution in this world: surviving and evolving through competition and adaptation. These civilizations perfectly adapt to environments shaped by the law weapons they wield.

"Their expansion may be slow, but given enough time, they will eventually use their law weapons to cover the entire world and reshape it into an ideal environment for their survival. That is why I insist on distinguishing Level 2 Temple Civilization from Level 3 Pantheon Civilization."

The debate between the two onstage was no longer about whether civilization levels existed, but
