"What is this little thing trying to do?"
In the thousand years since the Twilight Ancient Path opened, this Ancient Path deity had never seen such a situation before.
Seeing Chen Yang actually take the initiative to absorb the resentment within Mechanism City left him utterly baffled.
Normal Divine Path creatures avoided such power like the plague, terrified of it tainting them, yet this little stone from who knew where was actively absorbing it.
At first, the Ancient Path deity thought Chen Yang was offering him loyalty in hopes of receiving a gift of divine power, but he soon realized he had overthought things.
After taking in the resentment, Chen Yang began replacing it with his own divine power, maintaining and controlling the operation of Mechanism City.
"Hehehe, interesting. Truly interesting. This little stone even knows how to seek opportunities for his believers!"
The Ancient Path deity laughed inwardly.
He could see that Chen Yang had already grasped the patterns behind this realm's unique laws and was attempting to use this method to fish up benefits for the cultivators who believed in him.
The Ancient Path deity noticed this, but had no intention of interfering, because his fundamental purpose in doing all this was to dissipate the resentment.
Now that Chen Yang was willingly taking on his resentment, the Ancient Path deity naturally would not stop him.
As Chen Yang employed this "Magpie Occupies the Nest" method, Yang Lingrui and the others had already discovered the entrance leading to the underground maze and descended together, feeling their way onward.
They had actually found several other entrances elsewhere, but since their divine senses could not probe ahead, they decided it was safer to act together.
Yet as they continued exploring downward, an indescribably strange feeling began to grow in everyone's hearts.
