Lightning tribulations were mysterious phenomena. Many cultivators questioned why they existed in the first place.
Did the heavens wish to punish them for going against the natural order?
Was it a self-regulating mechanism designed to preserve the ecosystem of a galactic environment?
Or was it simply a self-defense mechanism designed to channel the most valuable resources to the most worthy cultivators?
Ves believed that all of these possible reasons could be true at the same time. In a universe that was restricted by limited resources, struggle and hardships became an inevitable fact of life. Letting the weak or undeserving obtain power without earning it would only lead to a wholesale collapse.
Perhaps the calamity that caused the old Milky Way to lose all of its prosperity and degenerate into a galaxy devoid of the power of heaven served as an example of what happened if this enforcement mechanism failed to do its job.
