Tang Shaoyang returned to the underground lab with Zara at midnight. The gate was still connected to the other world, and it seemed the gate was stable.
Naten stayed up and welcomed him, "Welcome back, Your Majesty. We have observed the gate all day, and it's stable to use."
There was no sign of monsters coming out of the gate. Afi stayed next to the gate, sleeping while Karoen stood next to the gate, fulfilling his duty to guard the gate.
"Good work, Naten," Tang Shaoyang commended the dwarf before heading toward the gate. He did not immediately enter the gate, standing in front of the gate, "I will enter the gate by myself."
"What? Bring me with you too!" Zara voiced her desire to follow him to the gate.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "The gate looks stable for now, but we don't know what will happen in the future. I want you and the others to stay here. If there's something wrong with the gate, I can switch positions with you."
