I can rewind time to prevent death

Lin Yishan was utterly confused and shook his head: "I don't understand, didn't you say there would be great chaos in the world? Does that not mean that fierce spirits will reappear among humans?"

"Indeed, that is true," affirmed Yan Junze, nodding. "But there are even more formidable, higher-level spirits known as 'Demons'!"

Lin Yishan continued to shake his head: "Even if what you're saying is true, I only know a bit about 'The Book of Changes', but I have no idea how to get this impending Demon to submit to us!"

Yan Junze carried on pretending to be fully versed in the matter, confidently stating: "If that Demon is to be born, one needs to recite the text from the Book of Change as a Summoning Incantation, and it requires a person of profound Taoist skill to chant it—you're not yet proficient. However, the person involved is from the Olay people, who know nothing about 'The Book of Changes' and are just copying blindly. You'll need to provide detailed guidance. While doing this, discreetly incorporate my name into the summoning incantation without anyone noticing."

"Why would we do that?" Lin Yishan asked in surprise.

Yan Junze sighed deeply, looked skyward for a long time, and then slowly said: "Ah, if I don't go to hell, who will!"

Lin Yishan was visibly moved and, after a moment, said: "Although I don't know whether you're telling the truth or not, I can understand your sentiment. However, this might make the Demon target you."

"I believe there's a high probability that it will obey me," Yan Junze thought secretly, yet maintaining a compassionate expression outwardly.

This belief was based on overhearing a conversation in the Holy Hall of Yalidana between Lin Yishan and Claudia IX, whose body was supposedly possessed by the soul of Dong Sheng.

Claudia had instructed Lin Yishan to unknowingly add "Dong Sheng" into the summoning incantation, and such instructions wouldn't be without reason.

Lin Yishan remained silent for a while, and Yan Junze was not in a rush, waiting for him to slowly process everything.

Changing a person's previous understanding and perception of the world in a short amount of time is difficult, so he needed to deploy Zhuang Wenhui as proof that he could control strangenesses.

"I... still don't quite believe what you're saying," Lin Yishan finally said, shaking his head.

Yan Junze gave a slight smile, taking out the Black Spirit Pearl that had condensed from the Black Spirit Umbrella: "This pearl can ward off evil spirits to the greatest extent and can also ensure the safety of all the people at Rock base. Keep it with you for now. It will serve two purposes: One, when the world starts descending into chaos, it will prove my prophecy correct, and two, it proves it can ward off spirits, showing I indeed need your help. Then you can choose to believe me."

Lin Yishan carefully examined the Black Spirit Pearl he received, noticing that while the pearl was entirely dark, there was a faint flowing light inside it, quite extraordinary.

Pausing, Yan Junze said: "In the future, if you discover the marvels of this pearl, you can choose to keep it with you, or you can place it at Rock to safeguard the lives of your fellow villagers amid the chaos of the world."

Yan Junze had his reasons for saying this; he knew that in his kindness, Lin Yishan would integrate the pearl into his own golden sculpture placed in the Lin Family courtyard to keep Rock safe.

Of course, this talk was deceptive; otherwise, how would his future self gain possession of this Black Spirit Pearl in the [Hide and Seek] task?

This aspect demonstrated that although Lin Yishan was ambitious, at this moment he was truly kind-hearted, willing to give up his right to the Black Spirit Pearl to protect his neighbors.

With this Black Spirit Pearl in hand, it's no wonder the Yin Yang Master could temporarily trap the bodies of Long-tongued Zhenzhen and Ye Zhennan within the old house, echoing between the basement and the coffins on the third floor.
