Scientific Cultivation Universe

Also known as the **Mecha Cultivation World**. This world is relatively large, and it uses the concept of galaxies. Humans don’t live on just one planet. Instead, they colonized different planets to create the ‘**Human Alliance**’. In fact, this was because of an immense pressure from the outside world. Against the alliance, there’s an equally strong enemy the **Cosmic Lifeform Alliance**.

It’s the year 20099 here, and there is a society with extraordinary powers here. However, the technology is also very advanced. After twenty thousand years of development, were there so many amazing fruits born?

## Human Alliance

**Human Alliance** was a United Nations. The member states might be cooperating, but they were also in competition.

The humans in this world had entered the stars to plunder planets and resources. Within that entire process, they met all sorts of human races. Even though they had slight variations, most were human-like. Thus, they allied and became the Human Alliance.

There were also differences between the Eastern and Western parts of the **Human Alliance**. However, cooperation was the mainstay at this time, and mixed-bloods were the most plentiful.

Star dollars was the currency in the **Human Alliance**. It could be used on many planets and had a lot of worth.

“According to Eastern customs, all students undergo normal studies before entering university. This was also the foundation of traditional cultivation—using a hundred days to build the foundation. Only after being admitted to university would they be able to come into contact with the Scientific Cultivation Method and absorb spiritual energy. The West is more enlightened in comparison. Materials for Olympiad math are found anywhere, and anyone can self-study… However, it’s a pity that not many talents emerged this way. You still have to go to school if you want to cultivate rational thinking…”

## Cosmic Lifeform Alliance

Also known as the "Monster Alliance"

The greatest enemy of the **Human Alliance** was all types of space lifeforms and alien civilizations. In terms of life, forms, or societal structures, they were inherently different from humans. In the past, they would be known as demons and monsters, so it would not be wrong to call them the Monster Alliance. Of which, one symbolic life form was the Zerg.

### Zergs

The Zerg was one of the largest powers within the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance. They were also humanity’s greatest enemy.

Their organizational structure was compact. The Zerg Empress sat at the top of the hierarchy, and it could use mind control to manipulate all of its subordinates. It also gave birth to an entire Zerg tribe. The mother nest even had the ability of interstellar travel.

Whenever they reached a planet with abundant resources, they would light the flames of war, consume everything like locusts, and then continue to wander the universe.

The most terrifying thing was the Zerg’s reproductive ability. Furthermore, the Zerg Empress could strengthen and modify a Zerg’s skills in accordance to the situation. It was said that the Zerg Empress’s intelligence was not inferior to an Arcanist!

An Empress was a Zerg tribe’s leader. You could only obtain its brain nucleus by eliminating an entire Zerg tribe. Even the **Human Alliance** found this difficult to accomplish.

#### Zerg Empress

Each of these Zerg Empresses was an independent leader of their tribes, holding the fate of the Zerg. Their psyche strength was extremely powerful. Just like a smart-brain, they could manipulate all aspects of their entire tribe, and their wisdom was unparalleled. Of course, their brain nucleus was also an indispensable raw material for refining high-tier brain development drugs.

To the Zerg, an empress was equivalent to the commander of an army. Moreover, this ability was far above a commander-in-chief. If humans were to send out equal forces to carry out army-level operations, the Zerg Empress would definitely win. This was because its micro-manipulation ability was extremely precise, and the Zerg coordinated extremely well, better than any strictly-trained army. Therefore, the best strategy against them was to ‘behead’ this brain.

An army would become a bunch of lost bugs once they lost their brilliant commander-in-chief. The consequences were even more severe with the Zerg. Therefore, the Human Alliance dealt with the Zerg by seeking out the empresses at all costs and sending their elite mechas to behead them.

*The most striking thing was the giant silkworm-like Zerg constantly squirming and producing eggs from its rear.*

*The drones mechanically scooped up the eggs away to be hatched.*

*There was a throne on top of the giant silkworm.*

*A young girl with the appearance of a flower fairy and joy in her eyes held the huge psionic crystal in her hand, making chewing sounds as though she were eating candy.*

“What an interesting lifeform. Its mind and physical body are actually separate! The flower fairy is the condensation of its psyche, and the giant white silkworm below is her body!”

### The Gaias People

The Gaias People was an important part of the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance. They were even more important than the Zerg.

This was because they were the cosmic lifeform that imitated humanity’s system and had established a complete scientific and industrial system.

They even had a mecha division in their military and had piloted mechas to fight with the humans for the universe.

The participating races of the Human Alliance had even had a heated debate about whether to accept the Gaias People as part of the alliance.

However, the Gaias People soon exposed their ferocious nature and massacred several planets belonging to the Human Alliance.

According to the research of the biologists at that time, the Gaias People might have similar appearances to humans, but their physiological structure was quite different and closer to cosmic lifeforms.

This was why the Gaias People were completely expelled from humanity’s textbooks.

The Gaias People did not hesitate a bit in turning to the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance and becoming their backbone.

To be honest, some of the cosmic lifeforms were powerful, but they were few in number and could not form a majority.

Only the Gaias People and Zerg could truly hold power.

Especially the Gaias People. Their level of science and technology was similar to that of humanity. Not only could they imitate mechas, the wormhole this time was likely developed by them.

## Technology

#### Virtual reality

This technology is enough to create a virtual world and live in it.

#### Holograms

Calls and other uses for high fidelity holograms.

#### Intranet

Although not said out loud is the internet that connects all sectors and planets of the **Human Alliance**. It is a galactic internet.

#### Interstellar Ships

Use technology to navigate natural wormholes.

#### Interstellar Warships

Warships to fight against the **Cosmic Lifeform Alliance**.

#### Memory Metal

Memory metal was a seed that could continuously grow. As the cultivator progressed, they could add things to the magical weapon at will, eventually forming their own unique personal weapon.

His appearance is of a silvery-white piece of metal. This was the memory metal, which was also living. It could be considered half alive, and it was the best material to agglomerate magical weapons.

According to the research of modern scientists, it was easy to produce Weapon Spirits using this kind of memory metal once the magical weapon formed. The success rate was as high as sixty percent! Ancient cultivators would be incredibly envious.

The magic artifacts and magical weapons of ancient times wasted a lot of materials. In addition, only those in the Foundation Establishment stage could make magic artifacts, and only those in the Golden Core stage could make magical weapons. It was inefficient, too inefficient… The magic artifacts that are in use today is a standardized memory metal. Every person has one piece and will put it in their dantian to nourish. Although the makeup of the memory metal is simple, it can evolve into anything in the future. Its potential is limitless. If we start to nourish the magic artifact from the equivalent of the Qi Refinement stage, after reaching the higher stages, it’s power will be astounding. It will be like an extension of your body.

It needs to be fed with Qi and minerals for its growth and evolution.

It is very cheap. Furthermore, after advancement (To level 1), the school would issue them to everyone.

*“I suspect that they borrowed this idea from the Western Arcanist. Their adjunct rational brain’s connection with the arcane spell model is akin to hardware and software, able to be installed or uninstalled at will, and extremely convenient!” - Fang Yuan*

#### Fusion Reactor Furnace

It is an oven that uses a fusion reactor and has computer assistance minimizing errors.

Only pharmacists who enjoy ancient alchemy or those without a fusion reactor furnace would choose to learn the Flame Control Technique. The pills produced are of very low value as well. To compare with the pills made from the fusion reactor furnace, pharmacists have to strengthen their spiritual will!

#### Constructs

Constructs referred to robots that could perform multiple functions. The stats listed for a construct was equivalent to a level five Mystic.

Even the best construct is only equivalent to a level nine Mystic. For higher levels, its smart-brain configurations are insufficient. There are many places in space where it can’t be controlled either no matter how good it is.

#### **Mechas**

The most powerful cutting-edge weapon of the Human Alliance. It unites in perfect harmony all the technological and cultivation advances creating a powerful techno-magical weapon that helps maintain the current state of the conflict against the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance, thanks to the fact that it allows level one mystics to demonstrate level ten mystic power.

Created as weapons of war to change the course of the conflict against the **Cosmic Lifeform Alliance**. Grand Arcanists joined hands with Undead Immortals, and they developed a special magical weapon! This was when constructs upgraded into mechas.

Regardless of whether it was cultivation or the Arcane, the majority were low-level Extraordinaries. Within the military, discipline was key. This caused a paradox regarding the freedom of high-level cultivators.

In fact, even if the Human Alliance increased its population, it was difficult to produce a lot of high-level cultivators. As such, the alliance was reluctant to send them to the battlefield.

The emergence of mechas resolved this problem quite well!

Even the most basic Gundam series only required a level one Mystic to pilot. With it, they could have destructive power equal to a level ten Mystic!

Training mecha pilots from low-level cultivators was much less costly than sending their Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists to the battlefield.

Therefore, mecha technology was very popular, and there were constant innovations.

The Human Alliance’s best science and technology resources were the Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists. And the strongest military force in the alliance was its large interstellar warship fleet and the vanguard mechas!

Even the lowest grade can contest a level ten Mystic. This was equivalent to ancient cultivation’s Golden Core stage. No matter what, it would fall safely into the middle class of cultivators. In ancient cultivation, Golden Core cultivators were strong enough to become the head of a sect, changing their status completely.
Even the most basic Gundam series only required a level one Mystic to pilot. With it, they could have destructive power equal to a level ten Mystic!

Theoretically, even though a level one Mystic can pilot a mecha, it is generally accepted that those with higher cultivations are better candidates. On top of that, there’s still a technical skill.

At present, the military’s standard equipment is the Gundam-K9999, known for its stable performance and strong compatibility with auxiliary weapons! Its general combat power is at level fourteen!”

The K9999 has strength equivalent to Golden Core perfection. Furthermore, the mecha pilots are only level five Mystic. Truly terrifying

“Special mechas have combat power at level fifteen and above. Recently, Professor Fu Hongxue of East Dragon University has announced the latest mecha model developed by him, the Blood Dragon. Its all-around performance has increased by 33.5%, and the military has plans to place an order. With this piece of good news, some military stocks have risen…

As for why the Gundam series was so prevalent, it was simply because it was cheap!

Equipment for the military could not be overly expensive. It could only prioritize a balance between performance and price. Without question, the K9999 was currently one of the best on the market at this.

Of course, within the cutting-edge mecha research labs, there were stronger mechas around, such as the Blood Dragon.

Even though there was no specific data on it, Fang Yuan estimated that it should have combat power comparable to or even exceeding Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists.

“This isn’t the most terrifying! The most terrifying is that in a real crisis, those Grand Arcanists and Undead Immortals will be the ones to pilot the mechas on the battlefield. Their combined power will absolutely be more than enough to cause shocking changes!”

##### **Grades**

Mechas are humanity’s vanguard against the cosmic behemoths! Starting from the most basic Gundam series, there are five grades—Soldier, General, King, Emperor, and God!

 **Thearch** | “Lastly, Thearch-grade mechas have another name, Dominator! With only one, you can dominate the entire battlefield!”

#### Psionic Crystal

“The psionic crystal is also known as the ‘anti-matter crystal’ or ‘God’s crystal’. It was first discovered in the Tarenma Galaxy on Planet A-23. It contains powerful and stable energy…

“In the Year 19087, the Father of Gundam, the creator of mecha, Undead Immortal Construct—Xuan Jinzi—and the West’s Grand Arcanist Ovo joined hands to create the first psionic reactor to extract energy from the psionic crystal. In the same year, they created the first Gundam mecha!

“As of now, the psionic crystal has turned into a mandatory energy center for mechas. Its price continues to increase as time passes. However, the most disappointing part is that the Human Alliance has been unable to find any other way to form it. All of the psionic crystals have to be extracted from mines!

“Research has also shown that psionic crystals can help cosmic behemoths grow and develop. There are rumors that psionic crystals can stimulate the birth of Zerg Empresses as well…

“In the past, scholars suggested that we shouldn’t entangle with the cosmic lifeforms, but instead turn toward the exploration of more unknown galaxies. However, when we discovered the Devil Galaxy, we found many large psionic mines. Scientists predicted that if the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance obtained this place, they would be able to take over every corner of the universe, and humanity would become extinct!

“As the matters around the Devil Galaxy continued to evolve, the conflict between the Human Alliance and the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance escalated! The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance gave birth to several kings using the psionic crystals. Meanwhile, humanity developed many newer generations of mecha. Before the psionic crystals are completely mined out, this bitter war of attrition must continue!”

## Cultivation

Within the **Human Alliance**, the extraordinary paths that many follow is split into the Western and Eastern paths. The East prioritizes cultivation, while the West prioritizes the Arcane. With these two paths, there are countless branches. For instance, mechanics could work as support from the back. Meanwhile, mecha pilots work in the frontlines. There are even agents for infiltrating the enemy’s backlines.

The traditional path of cultivation has melded perfectly with modern technology to create a brilliant civilization.

### Classification

Depending on the cultivation system you use, whether it is the eastern or western system of the **Human Alliance**, you will be called by a different name.

#### **Mystic** (East of the **Human Alliance**)

They use the Scientific Cultivation Method.

### Brain development

The so-called brain development referred to a concept that acted in alignment with cultivation. To a large extent, it was akin to the ‘spiritual roots’ in the past. It represented extraordinary aptitude and was universal for humans in both the East and the West.

The reason there’s a difference between intelligence arises from the issue of efficiency. The so-called brain development here refers to the manifestation of efficiency. A normal person can only use 10-20% of the brain efficiently! Every 1% increase requires a massive price to pay and lots of effort. According to research, if someone possesses 30% brain development, regardless of whether they study the Eastern spiritual techniques or Western arcane spells, it will be a great help in the future…

In the past few years, the East’s spiritual roots and the West’s scholarly aptitude have aligned as concepts of brain development. This is one of the conditions for being admitted into an extraordinary university. Without this condition, there’s no use, no matter how well you study.

“There are only two ways for a normal person to develop their brains, relying on brain development drugs and meditation! There’s also another chance to improve after being exposed to the Scientific Cultivation Method… But there is one very important point—the higher your brain development, the brighter your future. Only a 100% brain development can solve the bottleneck for Undead Immortal!”

Brain development would represent the ultimate achievement after the spiritual roots formed.

Many methods, such as meditation and low-tier and mid-tier drugs, would become useless in the cultivator phase.

Therefore, the high-level cultivators who felt their foundation lacking were eager for anything that could help brain development.

The high-tier brain development drug was, without a doubt, the truest representation of this!

Brain development would become more difficult when they became cultivators. It was prudent to start as early as possible and minimize the cost.

#### Brain development drugs

“The brain development drug was inspired by research into the Zerg’s brainwave. The low-tier brain development drug only requires an elite Zerg brain nucleus. Meanwhile, the mid-tier brain development drug requires the use of a Zerg King brain nucleus. Finally, the legendary high-tier brain development drug requires a Zerg Empress brain nucleus!”

After countless experiments and hundreds of millions of people proving it personally, brain development drugs are the only things that can increase the development of your brain with minimal side effects!”

An Empress was a Zerg tribe’s leader. You could only obtain its brain nucleus by eliminating an entire Zerg tribe. Even the Human Alliance found this difficult to accomplish.

“Even though a Zerg Empress brain nucleus can be split into many parts to be used as materials, if the refinement fails, the cost you’d pay would be worth dying for…”

Combined with the knowledge that he had learned recently, Fang Yuan finally understood why refining the high-tier brain development drug was so suffocating.

“And, compared to this, there are even rarer materials required for supplementing a cultivator’s spiritual roots. Most of these are highly sought-after and difficult to get your hands on…”

“There are three versions. Even the lowest-tier brain development drug is worth hundreds of thousands of star dollars, and… there’s a market.

Also, your body will develop resistance toward this drug immediately after you ingest it. There will be no effect the second time. That means you only have three chances in your lifetime.

 The mid-tier
 The high-tier

#### Meditation Techniques

This is the foundation of a cultivator. Different meditation techniques have different features, but the more advanced the meditation method, the greater the range of improvement for your development. ‘Six Point Mental Demon’ and ‘Red Dust Meditation’ for example. Many Undead Immortals relied on them to form their spiritual roots and set their foundation before they became cultivators!”

Meditation relied entirely on a person’s heart and spirit. It was more mysterious than memories.

The **Human Alliance** had still not completed their research on the human mind.

### Dao Pattern inscriptions/Arcane Spell Arrays

“By using the **Dao of Talismans** to inscribe the **Dao Patterns** of the corresponding spiritual techniques onto the mecha beforehand, when the mecha pilot uses the spiritual techniques, the mecha would then use the technique through synchronization!

“This type of technology has very high requirements for the inscriber. It even gave birth to an entire profession called mecha inscriber! Each job is expensive!

The Undead Immortals of the East inscribe immortal technique **Dao Patterns** on their mechas. The Arcanists of the West use **legendary arcane spell arrays**

### Education

East Dragon University was the top university in the entire **Human Alliance**, and it gathered countless geniuses. The professors and mentors there were true masters. Neither aging nor dying, they were known as the ‘Undead Immortals’! They were human-shaped nuclear bombs, the top combat power of the Alliance!

### The divisions in the ancient cultivation realms and their counterparts in the modern world

The realm distinctions of ancient cultivation begin with Qi Refinement. Then comes Foundation Establishment, forming the Golden Core, cracking the core to achieve the Nascent Soul, transforming the soul, and transcending the tribulations to immortality!”

“However, you must be aware that the so-called ‘transcending the tribulations to immortality’ has been proven false by science. Those Soul Transformation old monsters did not ascend to the Immortal Realm. Instead, they assimilated into the universe! This was another drawback of ancient cultivation—you eventually ended up in a dead-end. Of course, some cultivators believe that they advanced into another form of life that is merely very hard to observe… If you’re interested in the exact research, you can search for the papers in that field!”

“In modern times, regardless of whether we choose cultivation or the Arcane, the levels are standardized! Starting at level one, it is equivalent to the first to second levels of Qi Refinement. Level five is equivalent to the final level of Qi Refinement! Level ten is equivalent to the Golden Core stage, level fifteen the Nascent Soul stage, and level twenty the Soul Transformation stage! Of course, it’s a rough equivalence at best… In terms of true combat strength, modern cultivation beats ancient cultivation senseless. The times are always advancing.

“Beyond level twenty, it is known as Grand Arcanist in the West and Undead Immortal in the East. This is a realm that even I can not understand. Also… they can continue to advance without limit!”
