Ronan was not worried about the First Awareness Society going after Tai Yu. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it—with the anticipation of an ambitious man.
The conditions were not yet in place to recreate the Corpse Jungle, or rather, Sin Dream Country, in Earth Time-Space and conduct related large-scale experiments. He still needed to draw inspiration from the First Awareness Society.
For instance, what exactly was an Awakened One?
Why could the power of false dreams be drawn forth through an Awakened One?

To answer those questions, further contact with the First Awareness Society was inevitable.
Yet this organization seemed extraordinarily low-profile. What it did was taboo in the Central Star Region, yet the Pantheon apparently did not know much about it. That was quite remarkable. It was precisely this cautious, evasive approach that had allowed them, upon discovering that the Awakened Ones' power had gone "out of control," to swiftly erase every external trace, evade the Sky Abyss Spirit Network's search, and even halt the Corpse Jungle's internal inspection.
