The World of Divine Dreams

Cells wear out, so animals have to eat to replenish their nutrients. (Life exists by constantly taking from other life.) When animals die, their bodies return to nature. This is a cycle. People cultivate to improve their power, taking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, all in pursuit of longevity. And when they die, their spiritual energy returns to heaven and earth. This, too, is a cycle. But what happens when the cycle is broken? Nothing is infinite, except human greed and desire. When most of the spiritual energy gathers in the hands of a few, calamity will descend in accordance with the will of the world, and the Asura will awaken with it, for the world itself longs for the natural cycle to be restored.
