The answer that Dan finally obtained after an intensive period of continuous research—and which he meticulously verified through multiple experiments and precise measurements across diverse regions of the planet—was as follows:
The energy emanating from the sun clearly encompasses three essential and interconnected elements: visible light across its various spectra, the intense heat emitted constantly, and a wide array of diverse solar radiation. This integrated trinity serves as the primary and foundational source for nearly all energy on the surface of this living planet. Every bit of energy found here originates fundamentally from the sun, which has been radiating without pause for billions of years.
Then comes the second, highly critical factor in the complex formation of Natural Energy on the planet: the planetary atmosphere with its multiple layers and the powerful magnetic field surrounding it like a protective shield. Their primary and vital role is to trap a large portion of the incoming solar energy, preventing it from leaking and escaping into the empty void of outer space. They regulate and distribute this energy in a balanced manner across the entire surface of the planet, creating a complex, balanced interactive environment. This process closely resembles the slow and continuous fermentation in a sealed vessel, where various elements interact within a controlled, relatively closed environment to produce something entirely new and different.
Finally, there is the third and most complex factor: the living organisms spread densely across the planet's surface, from diverse green plants to various animals and countless microorganisms. These living beings act collectively as a natural converter and a powerful biological amplifier for the incoming energy. The entire ecosystem, in all its immense complexity and diversity, becomes a massive network for absorbing, analyzing, decomposing, and restructuring solar energy. The living planet is thus able to gradually convert this energy over the years into what is known in this world as pure and potent Natural Energy.
The advanced and profound insight here is that complex biological life does not merely consume energy passively, as some might believe. Instead, it reshapes and transforms it into new, different, more complex, and more beneficial forms. Plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through the intricate process of photosynthesis; animals consume plants and transform that energy into other forms; and microorganisms decompose the dead, returning energy to the soil. It is a continuous, complex, and integrated cycle. All these intricate and overlapping vital processes produce, as a natural byproduct, the Natural Energy that accumulates in the surrounding environment.
Consequently, Dan's ambitious idea regarding this complex matter is to personally create and develop an advanced and sophisticated Fuinjutsu technique that simulates these three interconnected natural processes: absorption, trapping, and conversion. However, he intends to do this on a personal, individual scale rather than a planetary one—a portable, personal technique that operates within or around his body continuously.
All of this is for his grandest and most ambitious goal: to gain direct and rapid access to the gargantuan, near-infinite energy source available in the vast universe. He refuses to limit or restrict himself like the alien Otsutsuki Clan, who rely solely on the Natural Energy found on living planets. They travel between the stars searching for living worlds rich in Natural Energy to harvest them using the chakra Tree in a long and limited process. Dan, however, seeks a completely different, more efficient, and liberating method.
He wants to personally play the role of an entire living planet, absorbing solar energy directly from the gargantuan stars and suns scattered across the universe without a mediator. By converting it inside his body into pure, immediately usable Natural Energy, he will liberate himself totally and forever from the annoying energy deficiency he currently faces. In the vast and sprawling universe, there is a literally infinite number of incredibly radiant stars—billions upon billions and trillions of giant suns radiating immense energy every second. Success would open up a truly infinite array of choices, possibilities, and opportunities, especially when his personal strength reaches an advanced cosmic level in the future, allowing him to travel freely between stars and planets. He would then possess an inexhaustible, limitless energy source; every star in the sky a potential power plant, every sun a massive fuel source—absolute freedom and unbounded power.
If he succeeds in fully developing this complex and ambitious technique, ensuring it operates with high efficiency and stability, his current progress in applying the fifth Vitality Seal will become significantly faster than it is now. It might double or even triple in speed, greatly shortening the remaining years. Even the final and most difficult sixth Vitality Seal technique, which he plans for the future, would see its immense difficulty drop noticeably, becoming easier and faster to implement. The fundamental problem has always been energy; once that root issue is solved, everything else becomes much simpler.
Thus, he is currently focusing all his seriousness on researching this revolutionary technique. He already possesses a clear idea and an advanced theory regarding its conceptual and physical framework. The basic principles are clear in his mind, the required mechanisms are theoretically understood, and the initial mathematical formulas are set. Yet, he still has a dire and necessary need for more experimental, practical research and field application to turn theory into a working reality. The gap between theory and practice is always vast, and as they say, the devil is in the details.
For this reason, in recent weeks and months, he has been traveling to diverse regions of the planet. He needs practical, direct study and field research to observe the variations in the levels and densities of Natural Energy across different geographical areas. Natural Energy is not distributed equally across the Earth's surface; it varies greatly depending on many factors. Dense forests full of life have a very high density, while arid, dead deserts have a very low density. High mountains differ from low valleys, hot tropical regions differ from cold polar zones, and deep oceans possess their own unique characteristics. Every region is unique.
Furthermore, he is meticulously studying the influence of the three basic factors—solar energy, the atmosphere, and biological life—on the density of the generated Natural Energy, both in terms of its intensity and its spatial density. He analyzes how the intensity of sunlight affects production, how atmospheric thickness affects trapping, and how the density of life affects conversion. All these variables must be studied accurately, recorded, and analyzed to build a precise mathematical model for his future technique. Therefore, he travels extensively these days—visiting dense forests in the south to measure, going to the arid deserts in the north to record, diving into the depths of distant oceans to study, and climbing the peaks of high mountains to analyze. In stagnant swamps, clear lakes, flowing rivers, and dark caves, every place he visits provides new data, valuable information, and a deeper understanding. The complete picture is gradually clarifying in his mind, patterns are emerging, laws are forming, and equations are being completed. Step by step, slowly but with steady certainty, the final technique is approaching completion—a technique that will change everything, liberate him entirely, and open the entire universe to him as an infinite source of energy.
