Eventually, Shang returned to the real world.
Linay quickly noticed that Shang's dormant Spirit Sense was finally moving again after over 500 years, and she released a sigh of relief.
Was he finally done?
"How much time has passed?" Shang asked.
"A bit more than 500 years," she answered.
'That means I'm about 2,900 years old, leaving me with only 2,100 years,' Shang thought.
"What about the ore?" Shang asked.
"Everything has been gathered," Linay answered. "Due to the value, I thought it would be better not to let it get delivered to this place. Everything's waiting in the Lightning Manor."
Shang nodded. "Then, let's return."
"You've comprehended the Concept of Temperatures?" Linay asked.
"Yes," Shang answered.
Linay just nodded.
