His father had made precisely that mistake. Faced with floods, he had kept blocking them, constantly trying to contain the rising waters. The tragic outcome was predictable. The accumulated floodwater might cause no trouble for a time, but once enough built up, it would burst through the dikes and pour down, sweeping away everything.
And the difficulty lay in that very same point.
It still came down to accumulation. To amass enough power to break through a bottleneck as solid as the divine barrier required an enormous reserve. Expressed as a number, it would certainly not be a small one.
A few decades were not enough to accumulate what was needed.
That was humanity's tragedy. A person remained in peak condition for only around thirty years. Even counting the entire span, it amounted to just fifty years. Once someone reached fifty, they would begin to decline.
And that fifty-year calculation was already a strict accounting, counting from the moment of birth.
