Chapter 243: The Rise of Mana-Tech
The arrival of mana across the multiverse rendered conventional technology obsolete. Oil engines, steam power, nuclear reactors, electricity, and even gunpowder became ineffective in a world now governed by mana's essence. The need for a new paradigm gave rise to the age of Mana-Based Technology, guided directly by Sung Jin-Woo through the System he controlled.

1. The Obsolescence of Conventional Technology
Mana's Overwriting Influence
Conventional energy sources failed to function due to mana's saturation of physical laws.
Machines powered by non-mana sources ceased to operate, as mana disrupted their internal mechanics and fuel combustion.
Even the most advanced electronics, reliant on electricity, short-circuited under the overwhelming presence of mana.
Global Adaptation
Civilizations faced an existential crisis as their reliance on conventional technology became a hindrance.
Sung Jin-Woo intervened, ensuring that his followers and the multiverse's inhabitants would not descend into chaos.

2. Guidance Through the System
The Knowledge of Mana-Tech
Using the System, Sung Jin-Woo imparted detailed instructions to his followers, priests, monks, and worshippers:
Materials: What minerals, crystals, and mana-infused resources to use.
Crafting Techniques: How to forge tools and machines that function with mana as their primary energy source.
Applications: Adapting mana-based technology to every aspect of life, from transportation to agriculture.
Temples as Centers of Learning
Two primary temples became hubs for teaching mana-tech:
1. Temples of Shadows and Life
Focused on creating tools for defense, medical advancements, and shadow manipulation.
Weapons, armor, and healing devices became the primary focus.
2. Temples of Creation and Abundance
Dedicated to crafting tools for agriculture, construction, and daily living.
Farming implements, housing materials, and energy solutions were shared here.
System-Driven Education
Through quests, blueprints, and interactive guides, common folk were trained efficiently.
The System's interface adapted to the user's skill level, ensuring even those with no prior knowledge could learn quickly.
