Lania ultimately refused the proposal; he was not familiar at all with the Master of Silence, Kanatos. Putting his eyes on the other party—whether the other party could see the Ghost Guides was unknown, but he would definitely have a clear view of Lania's branch road.
Kanatos was a very mysterious figure, as was the Silent Branch. Combined with Lania's own speculations, all factors made Lania very wary of him.
If it had been Irina, the Lord of Rifts, offering to help, Lania definitely wouldn't refuse, because the Pyramid and the Gate of No Boundary are products of Irina's Rift Branch, and they had long since established a basic level of trust.
However, Irina didn't make such a proposal; perhaps she also couldn't track down the Ghost Guides.
The meeting was interrupted, and the Pyramid slowly sank into the body of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, while the Gate of No Boundary had already been put away after being used.
