"Oh, well, I will tell you what I know about the history of this world," Ancestor Lu sighed due to Lu Zhen's lack of knowledge.
"It wasn't that we martial artists previously ruled the world. In fact, there were mages who were much more advanced than us in technology, and they followed a different power system than us."
"While we martial artists harness qi in our bodies, and almost every advancement is related to our own bodies, mages cultivate qi outside of their bodies."
"They had a different power system than us, as they controlled qi to interact with nature, creating miraculous things like a fireball in thin air called a spell. This could only be done by a first-stage martial artist, even at the beginning of their journey."
