The second way, however, involved entering through the danger zones. This was why no one had attacked Dyon until his 6 months of protection were up.
It was possible to trek the long way to the entrances by going through the silver danger zones. However, this method required passing a test that was difficult even for Gods. This was a test that could be skipped if one could use the Low Gold City teleportation formations.
Unfortunately, the reason why the Demon Generals couldn't use this method was because both methods led everyone to the same lobby area. This lobby area was a danger-free zone that acted as the first floor and resting area of every pagoda. This was the final "filtration" of sorts.
Many talented individuals from Clans who didn't have a say in Low Gold City were greatly angered by this method. They had gone through all the danger, just to find themselves in a lobby where they'd have to pay an entrance fee anyway. It was blatant bullying. Yet, they could only accept it.
