Back on Earth, it was because Spiritual Qi was cut off that they had to use generators. Otherwise, with such an advanced civilization built on Spiritual Power, why would they ever need to develop a new power source?
"This might be my fault..."
Su Zhou had a theory to address Shao Qiming's confusion. He told him how he had given a hand-cranked generator to Mo Ganxiu, one of the 'Skilled Craftsmen' who had helped forge the Divine Blade. It was meant to charge the Thunderstruck Wood within the blade. "They probably realized that a True Qi Furnace could generate electricity. After they used it to charge that rare Thunder Element Spiritual Material, they must have gone down that particular tech tree..."
"You can't be so careless next time! Who knows what sort of creations time will catalyze."
