Countless techniques of creation surfaced in Xu Yuan's mind.
There were too many.
They were far too intricate and sprawling.
Xu Yuan could only start at the beginning, reading slowly, ever so slowly, and grasping them bit by bit.
He thought back to how those ghosts and officials had reacted.
This had probably caused quite a stir.
Would the All Things Unity Society learn of it?
Very likely.
...Then he was in trouble.
His token had come from Qi Canghai ten years in the future.
If he encountered Qi Canghai before those ten years had passed, wouldn't it affect what happened afterward?
Xu Yuan pondered for several breaths, then gathered a faint trace of Whisper power and called out:
"Yalita, I need your help."
The next instant.
The Void opened.
The woman with seven or eight legs stepped out. Her form slowly shrank until she was the size of an ordinary person, and she stood before Xu Yuan.
"What do you need me to do?"
she asked.
"Find Qi Canghai, the Inner Leader of the All Things Unity Society, and even its other leaders. Stop them. Don't let them appear in the Ninefold Nether for now," Xu Yuan said.
"That's all?" Yalita was visibly disappointed.
"Don't underestimate this," Xu Yuan said, looking at her intently. "It's a task assigned by the Overseer. There must be a profound reason behind it. Complete the task. Don't disappoint the Overseer."
"If you put it that way, I'll do it," Yalita said.
She stepped back into the Void, about to leave, but turned around again.
"You... don't know much about the All Things Unity Society, do you?"
"No," Xu Yuan said.
"Let me explain it to you, so nothing goes wrong on your end. How does that sound?" Yalita asked.
"Please," Xu Yuan said.
