If the portal to Earth Sea reopens, experts like Li Yan from Jiuli may reappear in the Mortal World.
Tang Xiaotang is very interested in finding Li Yan.
But in the east, at Penglai, there exists the Western White Emperor with whom she has a grievance.
Eventually, the balance tipped, and she decided to stay in the Central Plains instead of heading out to sea, because she had previously discussed the current situation of the Great Tang Dynasty with Lei Jun.
If the formerly sealed Void Gateway truly bursts open again, it indicates that the current national power of Great Tang is declining, and the overall situation is very bleak.
The National Master Tang may be somewhat unreliable, but since he's the State-protecting Mage of Great Tang, he has to at least look competent on the surface.
Moreover, if something really happens, the thought of National Master Tang turning the tide is quite exciting.
Of course, better if nothing happens.
