In truth, whether through technological development or cultivation, both would ultimately rise to the level of crossing dimensions. It was just that technological development was clearly much slower than cultivation systems, because advancing technology to the point where it could cross dimensions required countless years of accumulation.
It also required large numbers of scientists to invent, create, and summarize the patterns of the universe before they could find the power to help them achieve breakthroughs and improve their genes. Cultivation systems were different, because they focused directly on transformation and improvement from the very beginning. Moreover, the higher one's cultivation realm, the faster one's gene level rose.
This was also why civilizations based on cultivation systems developed far faster than technological civilizations. The ultimate result was that technological civilizations became a supporting force, while powerful warriors occupied the entire universe. Luo Yuan also believed that, as the ages progressed, every universe would eventually evolve into one dominated by cultivation systems.
As for worlds that currently focused only on developing technology and had made no breakthroughs in martial arts, there were basically only two reasons. One was that the cosmic rules of their universe did not permit a cultivation civilization system to exist, or that some superpowerful being had completely sealed off the space containing their world.
That way, no matter how those technological civilizations developed, they would find it difficult to encounter martial arts civilizations. The other reason was that the lives within those technological civilizations had not found a way to cultivate powerful martial arts, so they were still exploring. Of course, their environment also had a considerable influence.
If their environment contained no power that warriors could absorb, then even with cultivation methods, they would struggle to put them into practice. Only after learning so much information could
