The essence of the Ascension Ladder is to transform mortal beings into True Gods.
On this Path to Divinity taught by Hua She, "opening the Celestial Gate" is merely the first step.
In the presence of True Gods, reshaping one's own body and soul, and mimicking the logic of the world's operation to create a perfect Innate Form is still far from sufficient.

This is a long and arduous process.
The vast majority of Ascenders fall during this process, becoming sacrifices on the immortal path of the Ascension Ladder.
