False hope
I grabbed Goldy's hand. The shaking was not done yet. He was visibly distraught. I don't know why he treasured this place, but it looks like he really used to. And now to see this place in this state, he must have considered it as a travesty.
First of all, there's a flaw in this world. I mean, every world has its own flaws, but this one is pretty glaring.
Why the hell is there industrialization in a place where cultivation exists. You could simply make stuff through cultivation like we make talismans and stuff, right? The manpower would be kinda excess, but I don't expect it to lead to things like global warming. I mean, that was the last thing I expected off this world, to be honest. But yet, here we are, before a shitload of factories and a polluted environment.
