and then, once the Great and Powerful All Seeing Microsoft had ensured that every single computer had their operating system on it...
>AKLTAK tenses
THEY CONNECTED ALL OF THEM TO A NETWORK GLOBALLY!
>TELKAN gasps
TNVARU> Digital Omnimessiah protect us!
>PUBVIA shines the light under their face to deepen the shadows around their eyes
and then, they allowed anyone to log on!
>AKLTAK gasps
and say anything they WANTED! To ANYONE! And it was illegal for the governments of the world to stop them!
>TELKAN hides their face under their paws
TNVARU> THE MADNESS OF THE LEMURS!
>TREANA'AD laughs spookily
They could even send pictures and video with sound! TO ANYONE! ANYWHERE! AT ANY TIME! AND NOBODY COULD STOP THEM!
>LEEBAW screams and hides
HAKANIAN> Digital Saints preserve us!
And then, not content with that, before even developing virtual intelligence assistants, they began hooking up COMMON HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES! And then...
...they integrated their military into the global electronic information network.
Without virtual or artificial intelligence oversight.
>TNVARU screams in fear
But that is not all...
>TELKAN shivers in fear
The created hand held communications devices, with batteries made of crude lithium-ion
>AKLTAK gasps
that all had high definition cameras on them.
THAT THEY COULD USE ANYWHERE!
>LEEBAW shrieks in fear
AND POSTED PICTURES OF THEIR YOUNG FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO VIEW!
>TNVARU gasps in shock
Oh, but witness the insanity and depravity of the Terran lemurs, young ones...
For they were not content with just global communication of real life, but they invented...
VIDEO GAMES!
Where a being could pretend to be anyone, playing through a story of complete imagination! They could even fully immerse themselves in PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE!
>HAKANIAN fluffs their fur with anxiety
EVEN ANOTHER SEX!
>TELKAN gasps
EVEN ANOTHER SPECIES
>AKLTAK swoons
All from the comfort of their own homes. They even had CONTESTS of who could make the best imagined world, with the most imagined story, and the strangest, most complex, rules for the imaginary world. They even recreated realistic COMBAT simulators of great wars of their histories, and fought them in brutal digital combat...

FOR ENJOYMENT!
TNVARU> May the Gods have mercy!
They even fought one another upon these digital battlefields! Screaming and howling their war cries that caused fear in all who were not one of the howled savages known as Eff-Pee-Ess-Ers. Such howling savage utterances as "PWND!" and "RAWKAT HOOR!" and "WEEK!"
LEEBAW> Madness!
Oh, but you haven't heard the real terror, the real madness of the Terran lemurs...
>TELKAN shivers with fear
You see, when they developed the global communication and commerce infrastructure, unlike all of us, they were not one society, one people, under one banner...
>PUBVIAN turns off flashlight
they still had...
>AKLTAK shivers in the dark
>PUBVIAN turns on flashlight, illuminating part of their face
COMPETING NATION STATES!
>LEEBAW screams in fear
>TNVARU swoon
>TELKAN closes his eyes and shivers in terror
>HAKANIAN screams
>AKLTAK curls up in fear
>HAMAROOSA gasps in fright
And each nation had different currencies! Each worth a different amount compared to the others!
>HAMAROOSA passed out from shock
>TNVARU screams at the madness
AND SPOKE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!
>AKLTAK shudders

How long did it take you to go from crude powered flight with single stroke combustion engines or steam engines to faster than the speed of sound? A hundred years? A thousand? Ten thousand?

Gather round, children, and hear the tale of the Titan Yeager, who flew faster than the speed of sound...

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.
