As Chen Tian finished speaking, the scene above the Sky Screen changed once again.

In the vast Starry Sky, the brilliant Milky Way is like a long river that runs across the universe, with countless stars rising and falling in it, while the Sky Screen that stretches between heaven and earth firmly attracts everyone's attention.

Whether on Douluo Star or on Huaxia Star far away in the sea of stars, countless beings are waiting for the next answer.

Especially Douluo Star.

Having witnessed the various technologies previously displayed by Huaxia Star, the Soul Master and ordinary people on Douluo Star have long lost their initial composure.

Interstellar Warship traversed the void, Mechanical Planet suppressed the universe, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dragon-Trapping Formation utterly routed the Divine Realm Alliance.

These unbelievable methods, like heavy hammers, shattered the established perceptions that had formed on Douluo Star over countless years.

They once believed that Soul Master were the most noble beings in the world.

Powerful Soul Master can move mountains and overturn seas, while Titled Douluo are more than capable of becoming overlords of a region.

As for those so-called Soul Tool, they are nothing more than unorthodox methods used by Soul Master in their spare time.

But now, the power that Huaxia Star has demonstrated has forced everyone to re-examine everything they have always upheld.

Can the power of Soul Master truly represent the entirety of a planet?

Is Soul Guidance Technology truly just an insignificant auxiliary tool?

In an instant, countless eyes fell upon the Sky Screen.

Inside the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire Sun Moon Empire, Emperor Xu Tian stared intently at the light screen, his expression more solemn than ever before.

As one of the most important forces on Douluo Star in terms of Soul Guidance Technology, the Sun Moon Empire has always regarded Soul Tool as the foundation of its nation.

The Sun Moon Empire believed that as long as they continuously improved their Soul Tool and accumulated technology, they would one day be able to break the traditional Soul Master' rule over the continent by relying on the power of Soul Guidance Technology.

However, while the ideal is lofty, the reality is cruelly suffocating.

Compared to the advanced technology of Huaxia Star, which can easily terraform planets and traverse star systems, the Soul Tool that the Sun Moon Empire is so proud of are like toys in a child's hands.

The two sides are simply not on the same level!

"I wonder what kind of evaluation my Douluo Star's technological level will receive..."

Xu Tian muttered to himself, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and barely concealed trepidation.

He was well aware that this evaluation was not only related to the Sun Moon Empire, but also to the future development direction of the entire Douluo Star.

If they can obtain a reasonably acceptable evaluation, the Sun Moon Empire might still be able to retain some dignity.

But if even the Sun Moon Empire's prized Soul Guidance Technology was belittled as worthless by the Sky Screen...

That would be a real disaster!

" Huaxia Star from ten thousand years ago?"

Xu Tian suddenly gave a bitter laugh, a hint of self-mockery appearing on his face.

"If the Soul Guidance Technology of my Douluo Star is truly only equivalent to the level of Huaxia Star ten thousand years ago, that would be utterly laughable."

A planet that possesses Divine Realm, Titled Douluo, and countless Soul Grandmaster is actually unable to catch up with the technological level of another planet from ten thousand years ago.

The sheer size of this gap is enough to drive anyone to despair.

Moreover, the extent to which Huaxia Star's technological capabilities have developed remains unknown to this day.

Xu Tian was unwilling to believe that Douluo Star had fallen to such a backward state.

But being unwilling to believe it doesn't mean that reality will change.

The scenes from before had already etched the power of Huaxia Star into his mind.

Faced with such technological power, the Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Empire really had little to be proud of.

Just as Xu Tian's emotions were churning, the official evaluation of Douluo Star's technological level finally came from the Sky Screen.

[Regarding the Soul Guidance Technology of Douluo Star, it was already on the wrong path from the very beginning!]

That short sentence was like a thunderclap.

In an instant, the entire Douluo Star fell into a brief silence.

Did you take the wrong road?

What's the meaning!

Could it be that the Soul Guidance Technology of Douluo Star has a fundamental problem?

Inside the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tian's pupils suddenly contracted, and his already clenched fists tightened even more unconsciously.

His worst fears have come true!

However, the unveiling of the Sky Screen did not end there.

Throughout the long history of Douluo Star, Soul Master have always held an absolutely dominant position.

Soul Power Level determines status, Martial Soul soul talent determines future prospects. Powerful Soul Master can obtain countless resources, while ordinary people who cannot become Soul Master can only depend on this existing order.

[Under such circumstances, the path of Soul Master gradually became the only worthwhile path to pursue in the eyes of the vast majority of people on Douluo Star.]

[As for Soul Guidance Technology?]

[In the eyes of many Soul Master, that's nothing more than a crooked path that only those who cannot become strong would choose to study!]

boom!

As the words appeared on the Sky Screen, a huge uproar immediately swept across Douluo Star.

Spirit City, a Soul Master's expression suddenly changed.

"How is this possible!"

" Soul Master cultivation is the right path; how can Soul Tool compare to the power of Soul Master himself?"

In his view, Soul Tool ultimately require Soul Power to operate; if the user is powerful enough, why rely on external objects?

But as soon as he said those words, he found that not many people around him agreed.

Because everyone remembered the warships of Huaxia Star.

It reminded me of that colossal being capable of traversing the Starry Sky.

He was reminded of the pathetic Divine Realm Alliance when it was completely suppressed within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Dragon-Trapping Formation.

If Soul Guidance Technology is truly worthless, then what makes Huaxia Star possess such terrifying power?

Could a few powerful Soul Master really create warships that can traverse the universe and construct magic arrays that cover the heavens and the earth?

Obviously not!

And within the scene displayed on the sky, the development of Soul Guidance Technology of Douluo Star was also presented to everyone.

When Soul Master become the sole measure of strength, Soul Guidance Technology naturally falls short of receiving sufficient attention.

Soul Master invest heavily in their own cultivation, powerful factions use their limited wealth to nurture strong individuals, and empires prefer recruiting high-level Soul Master rather than establishing a comprehensive technological research system.

Over time, the development of Soul Guidance Technology gradually stagnated.

Even if someone attempts to study Soul Tool, they often have to rely on individual exploration, making it difficult to achieve large-scale research and inheritance.

Ultimately, Soul Guidance Technology not only failed to become the core driving force behind the progress of Douluo Star, but also gradually became a neglected entity over the long years.

In the scene, one after another, Soul Tool workshops appear.

Some Soul Engineer buried themselves in research, trying to improve the Soul Tool in their hands.

Some people spend years on their research, only to have to give up due to a lack of resources and a lack of successors.

Some precious technologies were sealed away in the imperial warehouses, untouched by anyone.

Other Soul Tool that should have been further improved were ultimately left as semi-finished products due to excessively high manufacturing costs and insufficient research returns.

Despite the potential for further development, there has never been enough power to propel them forward.

These scenes caused countless Soul Engineer to feel a lump in their throats.

They did try.

On the contrary, it is precisely because they have devoted countless efforts that they understand the helplessness involved even more.

When the world's attention is focused on the cultivation of Soul Master, researchers of Soul Guidance Technology can only move forward with limited resources.

What they lack is never just talent.

It is also an environment that allows technology to continue to develop and research results to accumulate!

"I see..."

An elderly Soul Engineer gazed at the Sky Screen, his voice trembling.

"It's not that Soul Tool have no future, it's that we simply haven't given them enough opportunities!"

After those words were spoken, a moment of silence fell over the surroundings.

Then, many more people fell into deep thought.

If Douluo Star had valued Soul Guidance Technology from the very beginning, placing Soul Master cultivation and technological research on an equal footing, how far would Douluo Star have developed by now?

Soul Tool and Soul Master work together, with the strong responsible for breaking through limits and technology responsible for expanding the scale of power.

Individual talent is no longer the deciding factor; ordinary people can also contribute to civilization through knowledge and skills.

If this can truly be achieved, the overall strength of Douluo Star will undoubtedly receive an unimaginable boost!

Upon realizing this, many Soul Master ' expressions changed.

They finally realized that the path they had adhered to in the past might not have been as perfect as they had imagined.

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire...

Xu Tian remained silent for Jiujiu.

Only when the images on the Sky Screen gradually faded did Xu Tian slowly exhale a breath of stale air.

"So... that's where the problem lay!"

At this moment, he finally understood the path that the Sun Moon Empire should take in the future.

Although the Sun Moon Empire values Soul Tool more than other forces, it has not truly broken free from the constraints of the Soul Master system.

The existence of Soul Guidance Technology is largely still for the purpose of enhancing the combat power of Soul Master.

The status of Soul Engineer, the allocation of resources, and the strategic layout of the empire are still influenced by traditional Soul Master concepts.

Ultimately, although the Sun Moon Empire has gone further than other powers, it has still not truly established a path for the development of civilization driven by technology.

If that's the case, what qualifications do they have to compare themselves to Huaxia Star?

"Pass down the order!"

Xu Tian suddenly stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"From this day forward, the Sun Moon Empire must revise its development plan for Soul Guidance Technology!"

"Increase efforts in training Soul Engineer, establish specialized research institutions, and integrate the Empire's existing Soul Tool Technology and talent!"

"Whether it's resource allocation or technology transfer, a complete overhaul is necessary!"

Orders were quickly issued.

At this moment, Xu Tian no longer cared about saving face.

The gap between them and Huaxia Star is no longer something that can be bridged by one or two powerful Soul Tool.

If we continue to dwell on past achievements, the Sun Moon Empire will eventually be completely abandoned by the times!

As Xu Tian made his decision, changes began to appear in various parts of Douluo Star.

For the first time, some previously overlooked Soul Engineer have gained the attention of the Empire's high command.

Some research projects that had been shelved for many years have also begun to reappear in the sights of various parties.

Even many traditional Soul Master families have had to re-evaluate the value of Soul Guidance Technology.

Because they finally saw a fact clearly.

Soul Master's individual strength alone might be enough to create Titled Douluo, or even Deities.

However, if we want to drive the continuous development of a planet and enable a civilization to traverse the stars, relying solely on individual cultivation is clearly far from enough!

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, the faces of the Five Great God Kings were equally grim.

Previously, they were still considering how to deal with the Spirit Hall and how to counter the threat posed by Huaxia Star.

But now, the Sky Screen have directly revealed the deepest problems of Douluo Star.

Given the enormous flaws in their own development path, what makes them think that the Divine Realm can cope with future crises by relying on its past methods of rule?

The Asura God remained silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly.

"It seems that the Divine Realm must also change."

The God of Destruction frowned, the Goddess of Life seemed lost in thought, and neither the Godess of Kindness nor the Evil God offered any rebuttal.

They finally realized that reform was no longer an optional choice.

Whether it's to deal with Huaxia Star or to regain control of Douluo Star, the Divine Realm must change its past way of thinking.

We must not only study Soul Guidance Technology, but also develop a completely new training system and countermeasures against the power of Huaxia Star and the Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, they will likely face only the fate of being eliminated by the times!

At this moment, countless Soul Master, Soul Engineer, and ordinary citizens on Douluo Star began to rethink their own future.

The path of the Soul Master, once regarded as the only righteous path, has been questioned so thoroughly for the first time.

And the path of Soul Guidance Technology, which had been neglected for so long, finally saw its own dawn.

The Douluo Star, having gone astray, is now trying to walk on two legs.

But by the time this planet finally realizes how far it should move forward, how far has the distant Huaxia Star, far beyond the sea of stars, already traveled?

Above the Sky Screen, the Milky Way swirls.

The real comparison has clearly only just begun.
