Gates of Rebirth

This trial is called the Gates of Rebirth. Right now, one hundred people can pass through each gate daily, meaning 1,400 warriors can receive a title every week. You can only pass through the gates once. There are six levels to the trial, and passing each level will improve the title you receive.

It seems that life and death cultivators have an advantage for this trial. You'd have to be pretty damn strong to reach the top floor without cultivating either of those two paths. **Chapter 936**

## Gained

The reward had come from completing the Second Step of Sovereignty with an S-grade performance, and the quest reward was a Limited Trial (Zac calls it a "High-quality trial" earlier in chapter). **Book 7 Chapter 81**

## Location

Close to the Zelphi Watch on Ensolus. Zelphi's Watch was one of the frontier forts on the continent, one that had previously belonged to a pretty weak incursion force. It was far from any critical architecture or resources, and surrounded by inhospitable mountains. Meanwhile, there was still room for an enormous trade city in case their plans worked out, which made it the perfect site for the trial. **Chapter 936**

### Rebirth City

Soon enough, Zac appeared in Rebirth City. Today, it was a sprawling settlement only dwarfed by Port Atwood and a few other cities on Earth. It was the de-facto capital of Ensolus even if Sandy, the second Stargazer recruited to administrate, and the Nexus Hub were still located over at Fort Atwood.

It was a natural consequence of its proximity to the Gates of Rebirth and the result of a strategic decision to keep Fort Atwood separate from the trial and commercial ventures. Even Hegemons would require days to reach Fort Atwood from Rebirth City, giving his people ample time to prepare in case someone wanted to try something. **Chapter 973**

## Description

A structure reaching over five hundred meters into the air. It didn't look like a proper building, though. It more resembled a huge coin that had been pushed halfway into the ground. It was as wide as it was tall but no thicker than ten meters.

By the looks of it, the wall was constructed with two types of metals that had failed to mix properly. Chaotic and unpredictable patterns of gold and black covered its surface.

At its centre, two gates stood next to each other, each one roughly ten meters tall. One was golden and radiated powerful waves of life; the other was black and filled with death. Above the gates, two lines were carved, each stroke instilled with a deep understanding of the two opposing Dao. The words felt like they contained the same level of comprehension as the scars on the Big Boss' Big Wall back at the Big Axe Coliseum. But in contrast, the meaning was somehow sealed into the letters, preventing one from actually gaining anything from them. Still, the words gave a clear hint of what was going on.

*Gate of Life* and *Gate of Death*

The Gate of Life is made from Miasma and the Gate of Death is filled with life. **Chapter 936**

Altogether, the death rate was only 5%, but that was still ten of the Atwood Empire's elites that would die every day as long as they kept filling the slots. **Chapter 937**

## Mechanics

You can only leave after completing each of the six layers. Using pills like **[Coward's Escape]** might send you out, but there are no guarantees. And even if it works, you'd definitely not get a title. So overestimating your strength might cost you your opportunity at best, or even get you killed. **Chapter 936**

Everyone would be sent out alive with a title or as a corpse. No one ever left the trial early. So the trial was not without risks, even if you could opt out after each stage. **Chapter 937**

The first layer of the Gates of Rebirth was modeled after Nakara. **Chapter 973**

## Rewards

Three percent in two attributes wasn't too impressive, but it wasn't bad for the average warrior, especially considering almost no one on Earth had any Limited Titles. In addition, you got a second opportunity in the form of enlightenment. That might be what allowed some of his followers to break through a bottlenecked attuned Dao Seed or Dao Fragment. **Chapter 937**

This only applied to those who cultivated life or death. Anyone could enter, but only those with either a Pure or mixed-meaning Dao related to life or death would gain any comprehension. It also seemed that reaching a higher tier resulted in a better burst of Dao, which meant that stopping at a low layer to spend more time focusing on the Dao wouldn't work. **Chapter 937**

The quicker you pass the trials, the more time you'll have to enjoy the Dao Enlightenment. **Chapter 937**

## Ladder

You could leave behind any name you wanted. You could also skip leaving behind your name altogether, but it looked like you'd lose access to the Dao Enlightenment if you did.
