    So this is the result of the old devil in the ring? Always fun when the MC says random BS and it turns out to be true (due to plot manipulation, but still).

    "Bishop! There is news from High Priest Bai, he is asking for permission to enter!" A voice came from beyond a door located in another end of the room, as the shrivelled-up figure slowly turned around and looked at the situation outside the door with his divine sense.

    Did he forget he had a Beast that was specialized in eating divine energy?

    It seems like the writer doesn't know the difference between a Solar System and a galaxy... or at least the scale difference between them. There are roughly 100 billion-ish solar systems in a galaxy, knowing about a given solar system and a galaxy in general are very different things.

    Upon receiving Nie Huofeng's permission, the man instantly played the signal and transformed it into the Blue Planet's tongue. It was a middle-aged man's voice. "Anyone there? Reply if you got this message. We are the defense troops of Misso, a tier-4 planet in the Silvy Galaxy. We mean you no harm…"

    Idk what part of America you could possibly be from... I've lived in Ohio, Georgia, Virginia, and I've been to most of the states and been in the U.S. military... No one in the general population of America thinks this way. Maybe a child who has never worked before, a neet who lived off their parents who doesn't know how things work, or some rich guy who has no idea how the rest of society works. But most working class and higher income people know what it is like working for a low wage and give out plenty for a tip. People might reject getting too much for a tip in America, but that is generally because they don't feel right taking more than what is fair for a particular service... In rare circumstances where a person is acting arrogant and rude a person might tell them to go away and reject a tip like that. But not because they are 'innately arrogant', and in the first place "Americans" include people from almost every other existing country in the first place, it is a country made up of immigrants who flowed in over time.. Generally when insulting Americans in general people are also insulting a large number of people who came from their own country at the same time since it has had more immigration than most any other country.. Don't use your lack of life experience to perpetuate bias.

    I am a master appraiser, I don’t lack money. Like I will take your tip…]

    Actually, plenty of people in management and positions of power in reality truly think in this sort of way as well.. there are a lot of stupid people in reality as well.

    “I’ll give you five days to settle this problem thoroughly. I want the negative impacts to be reduced to the bare minimum! If so, I can consider not to pursue the matter of your corruption. Otherwise, don’t even dream of getting away alive!” Elder Hong Hao’s eyes were cold, like blizzard at night. Standing up, he asked, “Also, what is the name of that fellow? Is he a teacher of the academy? If he had informed me discreetly, I might have rewarded him with a sum of fortune, but he chose to cause trouble in public instead, soiling the reputation of my Hongtian Pavilion. I will have a good look at him tomorrow to see the one who gave him such guts!”

    Not necessarily obvious in this context, like how Sun has iron skin (however common defensive abilities like that are) or how people can upgrade their bodies, firearms are often useless against people as well in settings like this... with the exceptions of, basically, kids.

    However, following the development of origin ability, humans discovered a horrific matter, that is…. Even though firearms were ineffective against berserk beasts, but to humans, firearms were lethal against them. These firearms which were useless against the berserk beasts, were frighteningly useful against humans. It was as if firearms were humans ideal equipment to annihilate each other!

    It seems to roughly be saying that China thinks India is full of racist people and that the upper class oppress the lower class there.

    If it was on Earth, such open race discrimination would be condemned by word of mouth and in writing. But in this world, race discrimination was something natural. Regardless of "upper class" or "lower class," no one had any objection about it, just like in India that was said to have a billion human and ten billion livestock; the panda neighbour that was wearing a bunny hat didn't understand why the ten billion livestock didn't fight against their mothers, but they themselves were contented…

    No, but a lack of coherent thought and then trying to incorporate real science concepts in a way that doesn't make sense hoping no one understands.. isn't great. Most sci-fi may not be accurate to life, and doesn't need to be, but it at least isn't gibberish and you can be like 'Oh yeah, I could see a world where things are like this'.

    In a lot of lore Orc just means animal/human hybrid. They just happen to be pig/human in most fantasy settings that are produced nowadays.

    Perhaps, just like in the movies he had seen before, those damn science crazies had already injected human genes into its body and wanted to make it an orc!

    Yes, but in the story being portrayed everyone had/used strong nukes, if every war was nuclear war then it becomes the opposite of profitable. Though if you are in a galactic civilization you can still ignore a planet or two being destroyed, but your still losing life planets.

    Most of the warmongers realized that waging war was a money-losing business.

    This author tried wayyy too hard to sound mysterious and tried to explain fantasy using 'amazing science' when they obviously have no understanding of actual physics/science principals from the descriptions they give, lol. Reason your brain hurts is because they just said a bunch of nonsense because author did not know how to explain in a sensible manner and was too lazy to make up a fantasy reason.

    Worst case scenario: I think could also apply to concept of Aliens in reality. Create different intelligent species, watch how their unique society evolves and develops technology, once they reach a certain level their unique developments can contribute to insights and development on your own technologies in ways your own species may never have been able to think of. Then, kill the species off before they ever have a chance to get strong enough to do anything.

    yeah... I actually did exactly that in High school... 10 years later, still working on AI and getting my physics doctorate to try and see if it was right or wrong (though it has changed a lot since then), lol

    However, both Lan's explanation and the derivation formulas and evidence displayed in the lobby screens seemed to be logical—this was the first time he saw something totally unintelligible in the Dreamland, as if a High school student had dreamed about the Grand Unification Theory in physics which was absurd and incredible.

    This! He said it! This is the first time I noticed someone mentioned 'courting death' in this novel, though not in the normal context.. I was beginning to question the origins of this novel.

    "Easier said than done." His father shook his head. "If even witches were unable to return safely, ordinary mortals entering the forest would simply be courting death. Furthermore, four hundred years ago, the Western Region was a wasteland with beasts and jungles everywhere. It was extremely difficult to settle down upon, and hence there wasn't time to take care of other issues. However, our ancestors did indeed write in their wills that they hoped that someday a descendant would enter the stone tower of the Misty Forest, even if it was just to take a look."

    They said lifespan is typically 250 years... so that is like every other ruler, so, roughly they are saying he is slightly above average in respect to his inheritance. That isn't anything particularly shocking! lol

    The Sacred Fire Order's female Saint also relaxed. "To think that the Heavenly Lion King has already reached this level. As expected of an unrivaled sovereign who only appears once every 300 years in the plains.

    um... the galaxy is a big place, the sun is a slightly below average sized star, and there are plenty of objects in the universe with higher energy concentration/content than a regular star... I think it should mean in the Solar System?

    The Sun really was the best energy source in the entire galaxy. To Fang Xingjian, it was also the best treasured spot for cultivation, just like the legendary paradises that people spoke of.

    I mean, pretty much only terrorist organizations with no real power would stop at one building... If America (or any other developed nation) decided to go all out, somehow got bomb-dropping jets flying over a city, and they were not intercepted beforehand, most of the city would be leveled... Though, I don't think China, America, or any other large country would try and just bomb random cities even if they were at war, or let others come in and bomb their own without a fight.

    This was like an American fighter aircraft making a circle in the sky above Beijing and then dropping a bomb on a tall building.
