Dan sat in his laboratory, surrounded by scrolls and design schematics for his next great project, a colossal inner world unlike anything he had ever built before. The papers and plans spread before him were filled with complex calculations and mathematical equations concerning the flow of energy and its transformations, along with networks of seals intertwined in ways so intricate that anyone else looking at them would likely feel genuine dizziness from their complexity.
This world would become the place where most of his techniques involving space and time would be implemented, along with his seal arrays designed to convert stellar energy into natural energy. Everything he had developed and refined over the decades since arriving in this world would find its way into this project in one form or another. He intended to make this world difficult, a true challenge for anyone who entered it in every sense of the word.
In fact, this world would continuously evolve over time and would never remain fixed in its original state. It would be a living entity that grew, changed, and became increasingly complex as the years passed. Naturally, it would remain under Dan's complete and absolute control. It would essentially become an extension of himself, as his spiritual power would merge with it during its construction, allowing him to manage it from within in a strict and precise manner. This alone would steadily increase his own power over time as the world continued to develop, since maintaining such detailed control would itself serve as an extraordinarily powerful form of constant training.
As for its overall internal structure, he intended to divide it into two primary sections: the Outer World and the Tower. Yes, a tower . something whose general design resembled certain concepts he had admired in his original world, but elevated to an entirely different level.
The Outer World would take the form of a massive continent of unimaginable scale, a land so vast that ordinary human measurements would fail to describe it. It would be built from the materials of planets that would be dismantled and transformed into the terrain of this gigantic continent. Mountains, forests, seas, deserts, and everything else that a complete world could contain would exist there, but on a truly immense scale.
As for the Tower, it would consist of floors, and each floor would contain a vast inner world of its own. Naturally, not every floor would be as large as the main outer continent, but each floor would possess its own unique terrain and environment, functioning as a complete world unto itself.
What made this design especially fascinating was that the Tower itself would branch into multiple paths. In other words, it would not be a single ascending route through which everyone advanced in a linear fashion. Instead, it would divide into entirely different worlds. Even if two individuals occupied the same numbered floor, they would not actually be in the same Tower. They would be traversing different towers, different worlds, and completely different paths. Each person would create their own route as they climbed.
Nor would it stop there. As time passed, Dan would continue expanding the number of paths indefinitely. He intended to keep developing the world and adding new layers of complexity and diversity. Even the number of floors would continue increasing over time. There would be no predetermined limit to the Tower's height or the number of routes within it. It was therefore a long-term project that would never truly end at a specific stage, but would continue growing and evolving alongside the Walt family.
This project would benefit both him and his family in many ways. He had no intention of having his family rule this world or its inhabitants. Instead, he would allow them to adventure and train within it, developing their strength naturally through the genuine challenges it offered. Of course, he would not stop any of them if they grew powerful enough to become kings or even emperors within it and established kingdoms of their own.
Likewise, the living beings born and raised within this world would be free to evolve through climbing the Tower, training in the Outer World, or following whatever path they chose of their own free will. Dan would not concern himself directly with their fates, nor did he plan to guide or control their development in detail. He would simply grant them complete freedom to grow or not grow as they wished.
One of the greatest benefits he himself would gain from this colossal undertaking was the creation of a power that would take the form of a concept within this world, something known as the Library of Wisdom. It would serve as a direct manifestation of his own will and an extension of it.
Within this library, all knowledge, techniques, innovations, solutions, combat styles, philosophies, and ways of thinking that emerged within this world throughout its existence would be gathered. Every living being that evolved, every technique that was invented, every solution discovered to overcome a challenge everything would be automatically recorded and collected within the Library of Wisdom through the fusion of his will with the very fabric of the world itself.
In his eyes, this was the greatest long-term reward imaginable. He would gain access to a vast accumulation of wisdom and experience gathered over thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of years to come.
Over such unimaginable spans of time, this world was bound to produce countless solutions, innovations, methods, and forms of knowledge. All of them would ultimately flow into the Library of Wisdom, and all of them would become available to Dan himself, allowing him to study, improve, and utilize them however he wished.
It was essentially a long-term investment that did not rely solely on his own direct efforts, but instead benefited from the creativity and ingenuity of every living being that would one day exist within this immense world willingly, and without most of them ever realizing that they were contributing to something far greater than themselves.
