The true nature of the ancestors

The third chamber, also known as the Offering Chamber, was the place where emperor candidates presented the cores of the beasts they had hunted. Based on this offering and their performance in the previous trials, the ancestor would open one of three doors.

The first door led to the Abyss of Torment, a vast underground complex filled with dangerous monsters and prisoners. Once someone entered, there was no turning back, and even Elder Sven, a 9th grade being, couldn't guarantee his own survival there.

The second door led to an additional trial, a test of the participant's wisdom in the form of an ancient, unsolvable dilemma. Depending on their response, they would either receive the token of completing the Trial of Ancestors or be released.

The third door provided a free pass. If the candidate displayed significant prowess in the previous trials, the ancestors could simply allow them to pass through. However, this was a rare occurrence.
