The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1355 396: Curator (Part 2)

The answer is actually obvious.

If it were the Ancient God Colin, he would certainly respond to the expectations of His children.

Otherwise, they would not have crossed time and space to meet again.

Facing the urgent persuasion of the crowd, Luo Yan raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"No need to worry, everyone," he soothed the anxious faces with a calm and gentle voice, then smiled and said, "I have always cherished my life and would never do anything dangerous without certainty."

Having said that, he ignored the commotion behind him, refocused his spiritual power on the Void Realm passage, and posed a question to the mysterious curator.

"I'm very interested, but how should I proceed?"

If it were too dangerous, he would certainly refuse.

Perhaps seeing through the concerns in his heart, the curator's gentle and kind spiritual waves clearly transmitted into everyone's mind.

"It's quite simple. We have long prepared a 'soul mirror image' for you. You only need to resonate with it, and you can send a trace of consciousness into the body we prepared for you, without personally risking danger. It is absolutely safe for you."

Soul mirror image?!

Isn't this the "body" that players use to log into games?!

Waves of shock surged through Luo Yan's heart.

In an instant, he didn't know whether to be amazed by Mechanical God Linte Isaac's unintended convergence across the void, or surprised at the Solipsi people's mastery in the soul domain reaching such proficiency.

"Incredible..." Youyou exclaimed in Luo Yan's heart, "My Lord Demon King, they have actually mastered this technology too!"

"Hmm..." Luo Yan nodded lightly, murmuring in his heart, "And, they've undoubtedly surpassed us."

This realization dispelled his concerns.

His players have died countless times, and yet their bodies or spirits in reality suffered no harm.

At most, some became night cats due to day-night reversal, or some unexpectedly fell in love with raising spiders or lizards.

That's still fine.

As long as they don't try to use flight magic in reality, it's not a big problem.

Unlike the heaviness in Luo Yan's heart, Miller and the other assistants listened wide-eyed, completely unable to comprehend what "soul mirror image" was.

In their knowledge system, the soul is a unique existence, a domain that magic can hardly interfere with. The idea of creating a mirror image for the soul is completely beyond their realm of understanding!

Knowing he was absolutely safe, Luo Yan hesitated no longer.

Feeling the sincere and expectant spiritual waves behind the Void Realm, he, with determined will, responded affirmatively.

"Alright, I'm coming."

Upon hearing Luo Yan's affirmative response, a hint of joy rippled through the curator's calm Sea of Consciousness.

"Praise my Lord, thank you for your favor."

"We... await your arrival."

However, when they heard Prince Colin's words, the researchers in the laboratory exploded.

"No! Your Highness, please reconsider carefully!"

Miller rushed forward again, eyes full of urgency and plea, "Professor Keynes's tragedy was just last year; we can't bear such a loss again!"

"Yes, Master!" another young researcher advised, eyes brimming with tears, "Exploring the unknown is our destiny, but not in this way! Please don't take risks!"

Looking at the genuine and worried faces, warmth filled Luo Yan's heart. He realized these people truly cared about him.

Though their time together hadn't been long, they genuinely regarded him as their mentor, not merely a boss temporarily arranged by the upper levels.

Gazing at them, Luo Yan spoke with a gentle yet unyieldingly firm tone to the crowd watching him.

"Every experiment bears risk, yet if we halt before the waves, a thousand years hence are no different from yesterday."

"I believe true explorers face challenges head-on, absolutely unafraid of the vast waves."

"Certainly, Professor Keynes's tragedy will not repeat; this I assure you. Of course, if I fail in my promise, please don't take me as a cautionary tale but rather as a model for pressing forward."

Miller's eyes reddened.

In the Academic State, assistants have always served as the master's test subjects; when has there been a precedent of a master protecting subordinates by personally leading?

Choked up, Miller and the other assistants could no longer speak words of persuasion, instead silently stepping aside.

Luo Yan was pleased with their expressions, then walked to the center of the laboratory's Magic Array, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Miller, watch over here for me."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Miller firmly gripped the Magic Wand, promising, "I swear to protect your body with my life!"

Luo Yan chuckled.

"It's really not that exaggerated; I'm just taking a nap, maybe dreaming, not completely unaware of this side."

He knew players' condition all too well; they could wake at the sound of an alarm in reality.

And even if anything happened, Youyou could still rouse him.

As his words fell, Luo Yan's consciousness plunged into an endless Star Sea.

There lay his Sea of Consciousness!

At this moment, a flickering light appeared in the Sea of Consciousness.

Emitting waves of similar spiritual frequencies to his, the light guided him closer like a buoy drifting atop a vast ocean.
