Shusha proposed having Star Kun join the battle, but Zhang Fan immediately rejected the plan.
"Star Kun may be Super S-Class, but it's both the key to the Dragon Race Seal and our last line of defense. Sending it into battle for the Western Realm isn't worth it."
Nexis agreed. "We still don't know what the enemy is after. There's no need to deploy Star Kun at all. If things really get desperate, don't we still have the War God Spear?"
At Nexis's reminder, Zhang Fan smiled. "True. If we have to, we'll let them experience the power of the War God Spear."
When Zhang Fan returned to the Spirit Dragon Brood Bug, Noya and the others had already assembled the army and were ready to depart.
The Insect Race army left the Milky Way once again, heading out to support the Western Realm Council.
Hu Baili stood in the Command Room, still unable to understand how humans who wielded nature's power had lost to humans who relied on technology.
Seeing Hu Baili's disgruntled expression, Zhang Fan smiled. "Your Majesty Hu Baili, technology is humanity's inevitable path. Only when technology reaches its peak will humans remember their own strength again."
"What do you mean?"
Hu Baili looked at Zhang Fan in surprise. Zhang Fan explained, "Put simply, when technology is primitive, humans believe in ghosts and gods. Once technology develops to a certain level, they discard those beliefs. But when technology reaches its limits..."
Zhang Fan deliberately kept Hu Baili in suspense. Only after Hu Baili bowed with his hands clasped did Zhang Fan say, "Where science ends, theology begins."
Understanding suddenly dawned on Hu Baili. "You mean... it's a cycle."
Zhang Fan nodded. "Exactly. When science can't explain something, humans pray to gods and place their faith in them.
