I can rewind time to prevent death

Dressed in black, Yan Junze stood up, ready to take action. In fact, he hadn't been waiting here for long. Rather, after conceiving the idea to consult another version of himself, he quickly indeed met another self and obtained the desired answer.

He stood to one side, reciting the space-time positioning information necessary for crossing over. Yan Junze observed from behind, watching himself in silence.

Perhaps this was their only chance to communicate and meet. It was not without reason that the Void brought them together here. After all, this was still a naturally occurring event due to the correction of space-time.

Moments later, Yan Junze in black turned his head for a brief glance, then vanished in an instant.

Now, it was time to execute his own plan.

The recent Yan Junze in black must indeed be curious as to why his present self wanted to enter the Void, but he would understand in the future, or perhaps he already knew at the moment of converging memories.

"I need to describe the event; please position me," Yan Junze thought to himself.

[Please provide a detailed description...]

Yan Junze said, "I need to be positioned at Olay Great Capital. There, Claudia the Ninth and others are conspiring to summon the True Word Demon using the 'Book of Change.' The positioning should be timed before the successful summoning of the True Word Demon, and the location should be near the 'Book of Change,' but it must be a secretive spot conducive to my actions and undetectable to others."

[Positioning in progress, please wait...]

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete, positioning in progress...]

[Positioning successful, this Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion will consume 2000 points of Different Dimension Energy, proceed now?]

As expected, not much time had passed in using the 'Book of Change' to summon the True Word Demon, so the energy consumed for this positioning insertion wasn't much.

"Proceed now," Yan Junze silently affirmed.

Unexpectedly, he didn't immediately feel dizzy, but instead, another prompt appeared.

[A temporal black hole has been detected in the targeted space-time of this fixed point insertion. Any actions related to this temporal black hole may result in a paradox, potentially preventing the host from achieving their objective.]

"What?"

Yan Junze was taken aback, but he quickly grasped the situation.

Another temporal black hole? It's highly likely due to the 'Book of Change' having initiated the ritual, tearing space-time, and releasing Sylvanus, the True Word Demon, thereby causing the existence of a temporal black hole. Hence any intervention to prevent this would be deemed paradoxical.

In other words, the release of the True Word Demon has become irreversible!

Just then, dizziness overcame him. Yan Junze's legs gave way, and he fell onto a stretch of black tiled flooring.

When the dizziness subsided, he looked up to find himself surrounded by tall gates and walls. The ceiling above must have been tens of meters high, and the rooftop was designed as a cylindrical dome.

The building he was in seemed to have an interior decor that was rustic and classic, with an empty grand hall. In the center of the hall, there was a bronze sculpture of a knight, and at the front of the elevated stage in the furthest part of the hall, there was a statue of a middle-aged woman who looked like a Holy Mother.

The woman's face was kind, smiling, with one child in each arm.

Yan Junze withdrew his gaze and paid attention to his immediate surroundings.

He stood beneath a tall wall, with a large window on the wall not far above him, which seemed to require a ladder to reach.

However, there was a protruding corner right here that perfectly concealed his figure.

Looking through the window to the light outside, it was already evening, although the hall was well-lit.

Yan Junze pressed his back against the wall and heard footsteps originating at least a hundred meters away. Thanks to the emptiness of the space, the sound was clear.

Two people, one following the other, entered the hall.

Besides Yan Junze, there should be no other outsiders here at this moment.

In fact, the Holy Hall of Yalidana, where he was, was a part of the Imperial Forbidden Grounds inside Litecar City, adjacent to the Morning Star Central Park. It was a landmark building inaccessible to outsiders.

Therefore, the two people who walked into the hall were unaware that someone was already present, and they spoke without restraint.

When they stopped about fifty meters from Yan Junze, their conversation could be heard clearly. One of them spoke Olay language awkwardly, seemingly not an Olay person.

"Did Jeffrey notice you?" asked a slightly aged voice.

The one speaking poor Olay replied, "He's always been wary of me. If he didn't know that I understand the script and meanings of the 'Book of Change,' he probably wouldn't let me anywhere near that book."

"Have there been any recent movements from the Iron Blood Demon Hunter Group?" the aged voice asked again.

"No, Jeffrey has hardly been managing the team over there, completely absorbed in investigating the 'Book of Change.' One can tell he's preoccupied with preparations for the summoning ritual of the True Word Demon, lacking the energy to attend to other matters," the one with the poor Olay responded.

"You must keep a close watch on that book; it is not for the Iron Blood Demon Hunters. Since you are from Huaying, I've always held the Great Capital of Huaying in high esteem, and considering your talent, this is why I value you. I hope your performance will satisfy me, Yishan," the aged voice declared.

"I will do my best," the awkward voice replied respectfully.

Immediately, Yan Junze was sure that the person speaking poor Olay must be Lin Yishan, and based on the information, Lin Yishan had joined the Payne Cross Demon Hunters Group after arriving at the Olay Great Capital and was favored by Leader Payne.
