The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1352 395: My Lord, We Meet Again_2

Although the old Witch Demon was also adept at schemes, when dealing with his incompetent "good student" Elder Zarock Dragon, he still repeatedly considered old ties and deliberately held back.

In contrast, Dousuke, this Demigod-level powerhouse born of the High Tower, was more "open" when it came to making choices.

Understanding was one thing, but Luo Yan did not mind it.

Being used isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially considering his purpose of coming to the Academic State, it might even be an opportunity.

Dousuke wanted to use him to prune the branches in the garden, to have him and Arist fight to mutual destruction, and even take the opportunity to remove him from the garden...

But this Venerate might not yet realize that the ashes wilting in the flowerpot may bring not just nutrients, but also corrosion.

All greatness is forged from sacrifice, and such sacrifice doesn't necessarily mean death.

A playful smile appeared on Luo Yan's lips.

Perhaps, he should start considering designing a glorious exit for himself…

...

In the afternoon, inside the seminar room of the "Void Realm Asset Reorganization Committee," a meeting about the plan for reclaiming low-value Void Realms was proceeding methodically.

The released Void Realm Resources approved for reopening were continuously flowing, but the committee's work was far more than just signing papers.

The esteemed Prince Colin thoughtfully provided "after-sales service."

After all, whether these resources could be correctly researched also related to the future evaluation of the committee's work.

Due to stepping on too many people's toes, a group of scholars led by Professor Camille kept reporting to the board, questioning the committee's work.

He believed that Colin chose the researchers of the Void Realm purely based on personal preference, without seriously reviewing the researchers' academic backgrounds.

Frankly, this sounded more like an accusation of Professor Arist's work over the past decade; Luo Yan had heard similar veiled complaints from Professor Hector many times before.

Evidently, even Professor Hector, with his credentials, dared not speak openly about some matters.

Nevertheless, regardless of the situation, now that the Great Sage was not in the Academic State, the board could only respond in diplomatic terms even if they heard Professor Camille's voice.

Luo Yan believed this was not under Professor Arist's instruction; after all, that guy is smart.

Such a person, if he were to do something evil, would definitely make a big news rather than this "girlishly flirtatious criticism."

Luo Yan was walking his path while patiently waiting for Professor Arist's official move.

Just as a topic concluded and the scholars at the seminar were preparing for a short break, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

Miller, disregarding etiquette, rushed in. He even forgot to salute his superior, his face filled with incredulous joy.

"Master! The 440th Void Realm! Its passage… shows signs of recovery! Energy fluctuations are stabilizing and rising!"

The whole seminar room suddenly became silent, all eyes focused on Miller and Luo Yan, faces uniformly filled with surprise.

It was well-known among all scholars in the Academic State that the 440th Void Realm had gone dormant twice before. Almost everyone thought this period of dormancy would last longer, given the drastic changes in the world behind the Void Realm, yet it unexpectedly reconnected so soon.

Luo Yan was no exception, a subtle hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had thought the 178th Void Realm would make progress first, but unexpectedly the long-silent 440th Void Realm suddenly revived.

Watching the whispering seminar room, he smiled and nodded to the scholars present, indicating they should remain calm.

"It seems we have new progress… Everyone, please continue the discussion, today's agenda remains unchanged, don't let my personal research delay everyone's matters."

"Whether I'm here or not makes no difference."

After he finished speaking, Luo Yan instructed Vilich beside him, "I'll leave this to you, proceed as usual."

Vilich immediately straightened up, nodding excitedly.

"Understood, Master! Leave it to me!"

Luo Yan smiled and nodded, then immediately stood up, leaving the seminar room swiftly with the impatient Assistant Miller in tow.

Due to the relaxed atmosphere of Prince Colin's seminar, which was more like equal academic discussions rather than serious work reports, the scholars present did not feel dissatisfied with the sudden interruption, but rather expressed their understanding.

As they watched Prince Colin's figure disappear through the door of the seminar room, the scholars at the long table engaged in excited conversations.

"The 440th Void Realm has new results?!"

"As expected of Prince Colin! Solved the reconnection problem so quickly…"

"How exciting! I wonder what interesting things the Colin Tower will discover behind the 440th Void Realm next time!"

Everyone was filled with anticipation.

...

Colin Tower, 440th Void Realm Laboratory.

All the assistants had gathered, nervously and excitedly surrounding the long-silent Void Lens, waiting for their mainstay to arrive.

As Luo Yan's figure appeared at the door, everyone immediately quieted down, respectfully nodding in greeting to this Venerate.

"Master."

Luo Yan nodded without speaking further, walked straight to the center of the Magic Array, and concisely ordered.

"Activate the Magic Array, open the passage, and then limit the energy output efficiency to a low level… Let's see what exactly happened on the other side after waiting so long."
