The Divine Gate was right in front of everybody where the Stairway to Heaven extended up. It was a common knowledge that once anyone could get past the stairway, they would gain a huge benefit.
The Humans had two fails, the Octopuses had one, and other clans on the list—especially the Demons, the Devils, and the Ghosts—had their members riled up and ready to try out.
'The others might not make it, but it doesn't mean I can't.'
The Devils had been 'cared' for by a certain Eastern Pharos, so they were weak with only an Upper Realm Devil Saint leading them.
The Demons and the Ghosts lack communication among each other, and they did not have a unified custom and culture, and they did not have any united genes.
They rarely met up normally and just kept to themselves, so they had grown to different shapes and sizes and could only identify themselves through the energy they let out.
