"Ten million quasi-Sages... that goal isn't nearly as unattainable as it sounds."
Daniel possessed an enormous reserve of contribution points, which meant he also held limitless possibilities in his hands.
He could simply exchange them for special trial artifacts like the [Phantom Emporium], continuously generating the exact training opponents the players currently needed.
He first exchanged his points for one hundred quasi-Divine-grade Trial Grounds. After that, he purchased vast quantities of Sage-rank Templates, treasures, crafting materials, and Sacred Arts.
Entry-level Divine-grade treasures were perfectly suited for Supreme-grade players, while the burden imposed by those Sacred Arts remained within what they could withstand.
Daniel wasn't intentionally restricting the players' growth.
It was simply that higher-tier Sacred Arts were far beyond what the current player base could possibly master.
Steady, gradual progress was the wiser path.
