Gate of Divinity

Biodata

Background / History

Zeng Mo discovers the Gate of Divinity while investigating the Divine General's Divine Position. After learning that the Divine General's Palace can position him anywhere within that divine position, he is told that calling the gate with focused thought will open it before him and allow divine generals to enter the palace. 11

When activated, the gate reveals a vast divine realm beyond a thin membrane of light. Zeng Mo enters it with Little Black and several rocks, then finds that the rocks react to his presence with reverence while exploring near the entrance. 11

By Chapter 16, Zeng Mo can condense his consciousness within the Gate of Divinity and observe the Flame Yellow Plains. He also opens the gate at the forest's edge while managing the cat colony's supplies and territory. 16

Appearance

When summoned, the Gate of Divinity manifests as a faint, translucent film of light. Looking through it reveals a majestic divine realm with a dense, oppressive aura. 11

• Appears in response to Zeng Mo's focused thought and command. 11
• Serves as a visible threshold into the divine realm. 11
• Can be placed at selected locations within the Divine General's Divine Position. 11

Abilities & Functions

Divine-Realm Entrance

The gate provides direct access to Zeng Mo's divine realm.

• Opens when Zeng Mo concentrates and calls for the Divine General's Gate. 11
• Allows Zeng Mo to enter the realm physically and to place Little Black and other objects inside. 11
• Reveals the realm beyond it before entry, though its oppressive atmosphere initially leaves onlookers hesitant to approach. 11

Spatial Positioning

The Gate of Divinity is linked to the Divine General's Divine Position and its palace.

• Zeng Mo can use it to freely position himself anywhere within the Divine General's Divine Position. 11
• It can bring divine generals into the Divine General's Palace. 11
• Zeng Mo later positions it at the edge of the Flame Yellow Plains forest. 16

Divine Sense Connection

The divine realm possesses the special effect Divine Sense Connection.

• Zeng Mo can enter his divine realm at will because his body can naturally distinguish the realm under this effect. 11
• Faith power containing substantial energy can exist normally within the divine realm. 11
• The effect protects stored faith power from the normal rapid decay associated with bringing divine-energy-bearing materials into the realm. 11

Energy Decay Limitation

Entering the divine realm normally accelerates the consumption of faith power with stored energy.

• Divine-energy-bearing items may decay and be consumed rapidly within the realm. 11
• The stated decay rate can accelerate consumption by ten years. 11
• Divine Sense Connection mitigates this limitation for Zeng Mo's stored faith power. 11
