It was actually the Mechanical Era!
Lu Ran fell silent.
The next moment, he fell even more silent.
``` Era introduction: In the year 486 AD, over the course of five hundred years, the development of the Mechanical System brought humanity's capacity for warfare to unprecedented heights. Numerous Fierce Beast factions were driven to the fringes of the Star-Moon World.
As technology advanced, humanity was no longer content to reign supreme beneath the Legendary level and gradually reached toward the unknown realm of "Artificial Gods."
For the "Artificial God" project, the Star-Moon Republic established the "Divine Research Institute" and vigorously developed and supported the Mechanical System nationwide. With these policies behind them, over 60 percent of the republic's Beast Tamers had changed professions to become Mechanical Engineers.
The republic's goal in doing so was to discover genius Mechanical Engineers with top-tier research and invention capabilities among this vast population, expanding the Divine Research Institute's research staff.
In this era, mechanical invention competitions flourished everywhere, and Mechanical Engineers took pride in having unique inventions.
The "Contract Sphere," which rivaled the effects of a Beast Taming Space and could directly capture and tame advanced Pet Beasts.
The "Mechanical Exoskeleton," which allowed Pet Beasts to undergo mechanically armed evolution simply by wearing it.
"Missile: Divine Wrath," which could continuously accumulate natural energy and obliterate a level-one-hundred Overlord in a single shot.
The "Spaceship," which allowed ordinary people to reach space and undertake space voyages...
These were merely a few unremarkable inventions of the Mechanical Era. Mechanical Engineers continued their ceaseless pursuit of the Mechanical System's highest pinnacle...
