wait wait. just had a addiitonal untamed/sga thought. like obviously i'm still in full modern culivators everything is the same except the culitvation world has managed to like mvoe alongside the mediocre world for centuries undetected because reasons

and now i'm like yada yada wwx and the wens end up in pegasus and align with atlantis, and it;s a hearty not becuase wwx is particularly scared of the wrath, tehy've found ways around them but because plot twist but turns out cangse sanren wasnt just a disciple of baoshan sanren

she was her kid, raised as any other disciple would be bc of reasons and ancient dna and direct relative of immortal dna interacts with ancient technology in the same ways. so the altantis folks encounter this rare pegasus "native" with ancient dna

who is kind of. weird. and make a deal to get him to work with them. and that's the context for him and the wens being in atlantis. and they're cultivators! they dont have any modern mediocre people cultural touchstones

but they are also NOTHING like the rest of the people in pegasus. that wen qing? is a terrifyingly good doctor, atlantis folks: HOW, in a preindustrial society. that wwx: terrifiying good engineer: HOW. ancient dna: HOW. they think he's a deaccended ancient. and then lwj shows up
