The gate of life and death had two meanings.
Within three breaths, those willing to leave this gate had chosen life.
Those who remained had chosen death.
This was the first meaning.
The second meaning was the special ability contained in D132 after it was complete.
That was the divine authority of misfortune, as well as the domain of forgetfulness.
The divine authority could cause the people here to fall into endless misfortune after the gate is closed. In the end, their only outcome was death.
The domain of forgetfulness would then make them forget that they were dead. They would be filled with misfortune until they became bizarre beings.
The head, the stone lion, and the others were such bizarre creatures.
To a certain extent, they were a product of the accidental fusion of gods and immortal domain.
