All we really know is that the Relic of Knowledge is needed in Atlas for some reason. It may not be anything to do with Salem's plots (she may pull back for a while to rebuild her team and revise her plans to take Team RWBY and Ozpin's reincarnation into account). It could be something more to do with the Schnee Dust Company, its plots and the effects Atlas's internal politics is having on the entire world.

BTW - Was I the only one anticipating (even for a brief moment) that Ghira was going to nominate Blake as the new leader of the White Fang?
