There was an enormous gap in power between the races of the universe who could cultivate and those who could not. Technology could bridge the divide, but no weapon existed that could kill a cultivator in the void stage or above.
Cultivation was not just a method of gathering qi to gain strength but more akin to an evolution to a higher life form.
High level cultivators had fearsome abilities like the ancient immortals of legends. They could regenerate from almost any sort of physical damage, gained the ability to fly and could even survive in the vacuum of space.
Humans in their base forms were weak and fragile creatures with none of the physical enhancements of other species but their cultivation potential allowed them to reign as kings in the milky way galaxy.
The other races could not speak of the humanity without feelings of fear and envy towards their remarkable aptitude.
