With technology roughly on par with Blue Star's, in one-on-one combat, supernaturals might be able to prevail through their abilities, but in large-scale group battles, or when heavy weapons clashed head-on, judging by the energy of the supernaturals he had seen, they were still no match.
Of course, if supernaturals were active in densely populated places like cities, it truly would be difficult to deploy too many large-scale destructive weapons.
But that was only for ordinary times, when there was no real need. Once it came down to a confrontation, no one would care about such things.
Perhaps the current situation had not yet reached that point. The relationship between ordinary people and supernaturals was not yet dire enough to warrant war.
But this tolerance of supernaturals plundering, even slaughtering ordinary people—this vague and ambiguous stance—left Silver Willow unable to grasp what the people in power in this world were thinking.
It was strange.
These national powers had far too strange an attitude toward supernaturals.
If they viewed supernaturals as aberrations, they would inevitably suppress and weaken them, rather than let them run rampant like this.
If they valued supernaturals, they would recruit and assimilate them. At the very least, openly, they would not allow supernaturals to act so recklessly.
Take this incident, for example. The black jade passed down by He Yi had actually become a rare spirit artifact after the resurgence of spiritual energy.
It was extremely valuable, but for powers on the level of a nation, they could obtain it by paying some other price.
For example, He Yi was an ordinary person.
He wanted spirit pearls so he could exchange them for money he could use in the real world.
He was not a supernatural, so spirit pearls were useless to him.
They could have simply
