Adjustments and the First Modification Target

The sky over the Purgatory Sulfur Plane glowed crimson as always.

Benjamin floated ten thousand meters above the ground, looking down at the land he had personally modified countless times.

Around him, dozens of Black Giant Priests hovered in the air as well. Before each of them floated a massive rune array, radiating light in every color.

"Lower the energy nodes in the western sector by another three thousandths."

Benjamin's voice spread across the area through mental power.

A Black Giant Priest immediately adjusted the light array before him, his fingers tapping repeatedly through the air as the complex sequence of runes shifted accordingly.

A moment later, a faint glimmer flashed somewhere on the ground below—the signal that the energy node's adjustment had been completed.

"Formation eye number seven in the northern sector: the output waveform has deviated. Correct it to the standard value."

Another priest began operating his array.

This was the fiftieth consecutive day they had been working.

Every subsystem of the Incense Divinity Path, including the Cross-Space Energy Transmission System—even the main system itself—needed a thorough optimization. Every minor problem left behind during its design centuries ago had to be resolved one by one.

Benjamin oversaw the operation as a whole, while the Black Giant Priests controlled the colossal arrays spread across the entire plane, making minute adjustments to every detail. Seen from ten thousand meters above, the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane resembled an enormous circuit board.

Countless energy nodes flickered with faint light, while intricate patterns traced mysterious designs across the earth.

And they were performing a precise calibration on this circuit board.

"There's still a problem with the feedback delay in the southeastern sector," one priest reported.

Benjamin's brow creased slightly. His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared above the southeastern sector.

He closed his
