The reason "Strange Tales" frequently issued tasks and rewards early on was to gradually cultivate and refine a new Lord of Demons and Gods who was qualified in both body and mind.
As for why it targeted The Bewitching Hour organization everywhere, it's probably because they knew Ashiya Dōman was behind it, aligned with the Yomi Forces. Ashiya Dōman, a traitor of Takamagahara, sided with the world-destroying Yomi. Therefore, the forces aligned with the savior, Seimei, are undoubtedly in a life-and-death struggle with him.
Moreover, Seimei's Divine Sense mentioned that the Divine Remains Bone of the Si Jian God operated on Abe no Seimei's will during his lifetime, assisting the next generation of the Lord of Demons and Gods to grow.
What a "self-operating", an ancient AI, huh.
Furthermore, the Divine Remains Bone of the Si Jian God could evolve into a mobile application to cultivate the new Lord of Demons and Gods, which is indeed accommodating and keeping up with the times.
