I can rewind time to prevent death

Lin Yishan, holding the Black Spirit Pearl, found himself unable to speak for a moment.

He was actually quite willing to believe Yan Junze's words, but they were simply too subversive of common sense. Had it not been for the sight of Zhuang Wenhui's ghost just now and the presence of this bizarre and magical pearl,

He might have already driven Yan Junze out of the yard.

"Dammit, I say I'm a charlatan, but you're even more of a charlatan than me!"

But now, when it came to making a decision, Lin Yishan couldn't be sure if Yan Junze's words were true, or if the prophecy could really be fulfilled.

Fortunately, Yan Junze had already said that it wasn't too late for him to choose to believe after all the conditions had been met. This gave Lin Yishan a lot of leeway.

For now, he could retain his skepticism, refraining from making any decisions until the world was not in chaos and the true efficacy of the pearl had not been discovered.

If things were really as the other party said, and the world was drastically altered, then it wouldn't be too late to decide.

"May I ask, what is your name, sir?" Lin Yishan hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

Yan Junze took out a notebook and a pen from his backpack, tore off a page, and wrote his own name and contact number on it.

"This phone number won't get through now, but after the world plunges into chaos," explained Yan Junze, "head to Olay Great Capital as I instructed. Don't force it, so as not to arouse suspicion from those people. Just act on your own accord. Once you've officially joined the Demon Hunter Group and have been chosen for the Summoning Ritual, secretly add my name into the Summoning Incantation."

At this point, Yan Junze's expression became serious: "You may need to prepare yourself. Others might ask you to add some unfamiliar names into it; don't refuse, just do it. If they ask you to add a name in 20 places within the book, you secretly add my name in 40 places, always double the number, to exceed theirs. Understand?"

Lin Yishan nodded thoughtfully.

"After the True Word Demon is summoned, you can contact me through this phone number, and then I'll tell you what to do next," Yan Junze continued, patting Lin Yishan's shoulder, "I know you're adept at forbearance. As long as you follow my instructions, with this pearl, not only can you save yourself when the world is in chaos, you can also protect the lives of everyone in Rock. After things are settled in Olay Great Capital, I will ensure that Huaying Great Capital rewards you handsomely. Be it an official post or business endeavors, I guarantee you'll prosper there."

Lin Yishan was startled: "Sir, do you also have contacts with Huaying officials?"

Yan Junze nodded: "Very much so. Remember, do not contact me until the True Word Demon has emerged."

With that, he pushed the piece of paper with the written information towards Lin Yishan. To leave a profound and unquestionable impression on Lin Yishan, he directly returned to the Space-Time Rift right in front of the Yin Yang Master.

Thus, Lin Yishan suddenly discovered Yan Junze, who had been sitting right in front of him, vanish out of sight!

Startled, Lin Yishan turned pale and immediately knelt towards the Void, trembling and shivering for a good while before regaining his senses.

Looking up at the sky, the sunlight was blinding.

With his hands clasped together, he muttered to himself: "Great immortal, I, Lin Yishan, have truly opened my eyes this time."

A moment later, regaining his composure, he stood up, picked up the piece of paper from the stone table, and carefully held it, looking at the phone number, and then at the name, mumbling to himself, "Yan... Jun... Ze!"

...

After returning to the Space-Time Rift, Yan Junze carefully reviewed his performance just now.

This Great Rewind should be considered quite successful; he'd achieved his goals and delivered all the information he intended to Lin Yishan.

As long as the strangenesses erupt, because his prophecy will have been accurate, Yin Yang Masters like Lin Yishan who deeply believe in such things will definitely trust what he just said and begin to act on that template.

And in the process, things like Olay Great Capital Demon Hunter Group, the "Book of Change," the True Word Demon — once these elements emerge, they will further prove the veracity of his words.

Thereby, continuously reinforcing Lin Yishan's belief in him.

"For this Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion, please automatically repair any ripple events that occurred beyond my interaction with Lin Yishan, while preserving all subsequent events resulting from my influence on him."

As this trip was specifically to change history, there was little to repair; most was to be preserved.

After entrusting the matter to the Atlas, Yan Junze temporarily withdrew from the Space-Time Rift.

The step in his plan was complete; now he could assess the changes brought about by this Great Rewind and proceed with certain deployments.

After exiting the Space-Time Rift, Yan Junze stood behind a green trash bin.

He didn't go to the alley entrance, and at this time, Ku Zai and Yao Long, seated there, had each seen him; however, since Yan Junze didn't approach, they felt it improper to come over.

The moment he emerged from the Space-Time Rift, new memories filled Yan Junze's mind.

Pulling out his phone, he searched the contacts directory for Lin Yishan's number and quickly found it.

This was saved after Lin Yishan, per agreement, had called him following the summoning of the True Word Demon by the Olay Great Capital Demon Hunter Group.

Reviewing the messages exchanged between the two, the last message from Lin Yishan to him had been sent that very morning: "Master Yan, the True Word Demon has acted again. This time, he has transformed a Sculpting Spirit-level strangeness into the Black Cloud Demon using the True Word Barrier, thrusting the entire world into chaos. This is his fourth act after mutating the God of Death and killing two Reapers."
