Claimed power
Da Ten Shi
Power is not given; it is taken. The Da Ten Shi challenge who gets to decide how far a person may reach.
The path
Their pursuit of strength questions revered authority and refuses to accept that permission is a prerequisite for power. Painful experience can become a reason to push beyond an established order’s limits.
The price
That pursuit accepts dangerous self-transformation. A breakthrough and a destructive mistake can begin with the same refusal to stop.
