"These gates are like giant formations, so it needs a big part of its foundation to get ruined… If someone was doing it, then others would have detected him already…"
Yet such a scenario didn't make sense. The underground city was filled to the brim with masters from different forces. Even if someone tried to hide his actions using a concealment array, this would take him forever to undermine enough foundations of that gate, ending up for it to act this way.
"The only logical possibility is for the gate to lose its source of power… This will explain everything…" he reached this conclusion after two hours of deeply thinking about that.
For the gate to work, it needed to absorb power from the world, and also from materials buried in its foundation. If these materials got exhausted, then the gate would malfunction, and such weird happenings would occur.
