Whether it was technology or the mystic, the same held true.
Once one side far surpassed the other, the lagging side would be eliminated.
Current artifact-refining techniques could not manufacture such precise technological devices, but what about the future?
Would there come a day when all of today's technology could be recreated through artifact refining?
Was that the kind of civilization Bai Xuan hoped for?
Technology and the mystic had no inherent hierarchy, and both had their own limitations.
Earth Civilization's rapid advancement was now founded upon Spirit Energy as an energy source, but what would happen once Spirit Energy began to weaken or even vanished?
Would the civilization built upon Spirit Energy collapse as a result?
Bai Xuan did not want Earth Civilization to gradually become a one-sided Technology Side or Mystic Side civilization.
In his view, the most proper path for civilization was to begin by practicing Mystic Side Cultivation Methods, gradually developing the five senses and brain capacity, then using that foundation to rapidly absorb knowledge before devoting themselves to Technology Side research.
An optimized brain would greatly enhance their intelligence, thought processes, and research speed, while also accelerating technological development.
Once technology reached a certain level, it could be used to analyze the mystic, converting it into the purest scientific knowledge and spreading it throughout the entire civilization.
Once the mystic was no longer mysterious, it would no longer be the mystic.
To Bai Xuan, technology was more important than the mystic in the development of civilization—far more important, even.
This was evident from Earth, which had already experienced two Spirit Energy Tides and one Spiritual Energy Feedback.
Under such exceptional conditions, how many First Sequences were there? How many Second Sequences? How many Espers with decent combat ability could withstand Missiles, or even bullets?
