The Emperor of the Metal Nation was supposedly a visionary man!
If he were an earthling, he would totally be an innovator!
He actually wanted to abolish feudal superstition by making full use of the resources that resided deep within the Imperial Tombs. This kind of thinking on Earth was commonplace, but in the World of Cultivators, it was completely avant-garde.
In addition, the Metal Emperor also strongly supported Spirit Treasures Pavilion's research and development of divine chariots which were used to train the Soul Strength of their cultivators. This was also impressive as such activities were somewhat similar to the Industrial Revolution.
As a great leader had once said, 'no matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, if it can catch mice, it's a good cat'!
Other relevant sayings that sprung to mind included: 'if you want to be rich, you must build roads first', 'emancipate the mind', 'science is the number one force of production'!
