As for the main reason Dan built this cyclical mechanism in the inner world, causing natural energy to withdraw and return in regular cycles, it was very simple.
Dan viewed the inner world as a field, watering it with challenges and waiting for the right time to harvest it. This analogy was not merely a metaphor, but an accurate description of what he was doing.
To him, the entire inner world was his farmland, the creatures living within it were his seeds, natural energy was the fertilizer, and the strength they gained was the fruit he harvested. The more fertile the soil, the better the quality of the fruits and the greater the harvest.
Therefore, in order to increase the quality of his production and raise the level of the crops produced by this field, the land needed periods of rest between one season and another so that it could recover its fertility. This was precisely what the new mechanism Nira had created did. It created periods of abundance, followed by periods of drought, followed by periods of recovery, as though the world itself were breathing in and out.
Dan also understood very well that the pressure caused by the restriction of natural energy would be extremely severe, especially for powerful entities, large organizations, ancient sects, and powerful nations of various races, as most of these entities had built their strength by relying on natural energy.
When this energy disappeared, these entities would lose the foundation of their strength and become like houses built on shifting sand, collapsing at the first tremor. This enormous pressure would force them to push themselves to their limits in an attempt to adapt to the new world, its conditions, and its restrictions. There would be no room for laziness or complacency, because survival would depend on the ability to adapt, while death would be the fate of those who could not change themselves.
Therefore, when natural energy began to withdraw, different reactions would appear. Some forces might enter a deep slumber, seal themselves away, and attempt to avoid the difficult period. Others might find ways to adapt, invent new methods, or develop techniques that did not depend on natural energy. These were the beings Dan truly cared about, because they demonstrated creativity, flexibility, and the ability to survive. These were the qualities he wanted to see in his crops and the fruits he wished to harvest from his field.
Then, in a world like this, where natural energy withdrew and returned, and where conditions constantly changed, powerful geniuses might be born and thoroughly sharpened under harsh circumstances. If they managed to survive the period of declining natural energy until its recovery, then they would undoubtedly become extremely powerful figures.
Because they had been thoroughly sharpened and tested under the harshest conditions, proving that they deserved to survive and were capable of facing any challenge. This was exactly what Dan wanted: for his inner world to produce powerful individuals, not only from his family, but also from among the original inhabitants of the world.
Therefore, he did not believe that this mechanism would harm or weaken the world. Quite the opposite. He believed that it would strengthen it and make it more diverse and profound, because it would create continuous pressure, force living beings to evolve, stimulate creativity, reveal hidden talents, and perhaps cause more individuals of the King rank to emerge among the original inhabitants.
Dan smiled and muttered to himself.
"Come on, show me your best. Show me how you will change and prove that you deserve to survive."
