To be honest, Duanmu Huai believed that most problems encountered by humans could ultimately be resolved by advancing technology.
Or rather, once humanity mastered the power to leave their home planet and colonize other planets, it became very difficult for them to face extinction.
According to the civilizations of the planets that Duanmu Huai had visited, those who had mastered interstellar travel weren't too shabby, but those who hadn't, no matter whether they were scientifically or magically advanced internally, could be completely destroyed by a single disaster, uprooted entirely.
Of course, this does not mean they lacked useful technologies.
For example, the Spirit Temple.
