The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1354 396: Curator

Inside the laboratory, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone was left speechless by the greeting that came across the void.

After a long silence, Luo Yan slowly spoke.

They no longer needed to rely on the magic array for translation; they could directly communicate with this mysterious elder using pure spiritual power.

"How long have we been apart?"

He was certain that the friend before him was not the Pope who enlightened him. Although their spiritual waves were highly similar, there were still subtle differences.

That old yet kind voice echoed once again in everyone's minds.

"If we count by the alternation of days and nights, it has been fifty centuries."

Fifty centuries...

Five thousand years?

Even Luo Yan, who was accustomed to great upheavals, was momentarily dazed upon hearing this sentence.

To him and the scholars of the Academic State, only two months had passed, yet on the other side of the void, five thousand years had elapsed.

He gazed at the elderly Solipsi person in the void, speaking with a hint of melancholy.

"That is indeed a long time."

"Yes, indeed."

The Solipsi person replied in a reminiscent tone to the sentiment of "Ancient God Colin."

Luo Yan looked at the face covered in tendrils behind the void and continued to ask.

"What is your name?"

A long, soft voice emerged in his mind, like the deep call of a whale under the sea.

"My name cannot be pronounced in your language, but... you can call me 'Curator.'

Curator... Luo Yan pondered over the word, trying to decipher its deep meaning, but found no clue.

In their previous research, they had not found any related information, and this term seemed to appear out of thin air, puzzling him.

"It seems that during our time apart, many things have happened to you."

"Indeed."

In the face of those caring eyes, pretending held no meaning, especially when everything before him gave Luo Yan reason to believe that their positions had reversed.

After the baptism of long years, the Solipsi person standing behind the void had become a "mature adult," while the researchers from the Academic State stood like infants.

At least, this elder had proactively shown goodwill.

Luo Yan chose to reciprocate, no longer assuming the demeanor of an all-knowing divine but actively shedding his "Ancient God" facade.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Of course."

The void's back, there came a wave of consolation and joy, evidently, the self-proclaimed Curator of the Solipsi was very pleased with his honesty.

"Fifty centuries have changed many things, whether it's the universe we know or the world we inhabit."

"I wish to tell you all about it, but we have been apart for so long and drifted apart in the river of time, to the extent that most of my people have forgotten the way we came from, and where we were going."

After a pause, he spoke with joyful waves.

"But fortunately, we've met again."

Subsequently, he extended an earth-shattering invitation to this so-called "divine" who once enlightened their civilization.

"I wish to invite you to visit our world."

The invitation was like a stone thrown into a tranquil lake, stirring up great waves in the deathly silence of the laboratory.

After a brief moment of shock and astonishment, a faint panic surfaced on the faces of all the researchers.

Miller was the first to regain his composure.

Looking at the pensive Master with a pale face, he desperately advised: "No! Master, this is too dangerous! You must not be deceived by the voice from beyond the void; this is definitely a trap!"

The other assistants also expressed anxiety, voicing their concerns.

"Yes, Master! The other end of the void is entirely unknown territory to us!"

"Once your spirit enters it, you'll be at their mercy, like a piece of meat on the chopping board!"

Their concerns were valid, but Luo Yan also had his considerations.

He weighed the risks and benefits, analyzing whether it was worth the gamble.

This could potentially be a civilization even more advanced than Taufu's homeland in terms of idealism.

Considering his past assistance to them, their gratitude should supersede any feelings of resentment...

Meanwhile, in Luo Yan's mind, Youyou's voice urgently called out as well.

"Lord Demon King, you must stay calm! We cannot ensure that the other side harbors no malice. Though they cannot directly affect you from the void, if you go there personally, the situation will be entirely different!"

An older assistant trembled as he mentioned a name known by everyone present.

"Have you forgotten Professor Keynes' tragedy? Just last year, he ventured to project his soul beyond the void and has since remained in sleep within the Life Support Array, like a soulless shell!"

The laboratory was filled with tumultuous noise, with almost everyone urging Prince Colin to remain calm and not be deceived by the whispers from the void.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the void, the Solipsi person who called himself "Curator" seemed to "hear" their exchanges clearly.

Yet, he did not interrupt, nor did he interfere with their choice. He merely watched everything serenely and peacefully. Like a sage reconciled with time, he patiently awaited his bewildered father's final decision.
