At the Unified Administration Bureau's first secret global representatives' meeting, Li Yao was assigned a task.
That was to dismantle underground forces related to Otherkind worship and infiltration across the globe.
The reason Li Yao was chosen for this task was, on one hand, that it suited him well. Everyone present was a major figure from various organizations and factions, and it was difficult for them to handle such matters personally. They had far too many other things to deal with.
Originally, this task should have been delegated to the various factions.
But after Madam Qian guaranteed Li Yao's appointment as one of the Unified Administration Bureau's directors, the task was simply handed over to him as well, to be carried out alongside the various departments.
On the other hand,
because the hidden forces of the spirit realm on Earth had repeatedly arranged assassination attempts against Li Yao, the Unified Administration Bureau believed that Li Yao held special significance to the spirit realm entities. Having him active around the world also carried a hint of using him as bait.
For this reason,
Madam Qian and the principal specifically gave Li Yao means of preserving his life in case of unexpected incidents.
Since Li Yao had become one of the Unified Administration Bureau's directors under Madam Qian's guarantee, the post of director of the Bureau's Technical Research and Logistics Support Division was temporarily assigned to him as well.
However, the Support Division was still being assembled, and its current staff had all been transferred from various organizations, so Li Yao did not need to rush into taking office.
After these matters were settled, Li Yao went into seclusion in Guiyu's subspace. After imprinting his fourth specialization, he simply pushed onward in one go and attempted to advance to Intermediate Rank Mage!
