Ashton can't sit still...
After hearing a glimpse of what these races might've been doing here — a clue as to why they're stationed here, he couldn't just simply ignore it.
'Suppressing the Providence of this place...'
While this isn't much to work with, Ashton's mind buzzed consistently due to its terrifying implications.
According to what he knows, Providence represents the rich history of a place. Through the marvelous wonders of Laws and Fate, Destiny is born and the accumulation of Destiny serves as sustenance for Providence.
Hell, this is the very idea behind this Sign-in System Function! It is through this that Ashton gathered so many resources that are either unique to the area or one of a kind.
To top this off, every Human has innate Providence values. It is one of the Aptitudes that decide how smooth or how thorny a cultivator's future would be.
The idea of suppressing a Providence... freaks him out.
