Ancient Gate Resprite - Remove That Novakid Face!

Description

Have you ever wondered "How come the Novakid are on the Ancient gates when they probably didn't exist yet?" or "Why is there an empty spot?" or "How come the Devs never stop and think these same thoughts to themselves?"

If you have, then this is the mod for you.

Removes the Novakid and the empty slot from the Ancient Gateways and the Monolith Gate. Now only races that were given keys will be depicted.

COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with anything that doesn't change the Ancient Gateway and the Monolith Gate's sprites.
(If there is an incompatibility, it will be harmless)

Good theory. The Apex faces being shown as post-mutation always makes timelines hard to determine, but maybe the Cultivator told the Ancients about it early for some reason.

the apex didn't exist either? it's very obviously a prophecy

this mod, makes SO MUCH SENSE

correction: the eyeball sprite isn't just from the Ancient Essence Chest, but rather it was seen on a teaser image from the gate before it was implemented. Since they removed it, I'd argue it could be another face, but the eyeball is still more likely

Considering that it's heavily implied that the Novakid are the fragments of the cultivator that gained sentience, their face being on the gates never bothered me. It may have very well been the Cultivator's face itself. Also, I doubt that the Ancients are truly extinct, I personally think that the Mysterious Trader is a surviving member of them, how else did he get the keys to the Vaults.
As for the missing face, I assume that it's the face of the Ancients themselves. They do sound quite pessimistic in their mural in the Ancient Vaults, so I can believe that they'd remove their face from the gates.
There is also the theory that the Ruin or the unidentified fossil's race was supposed to be the 8th slot, I assume they left it empty to get people theorizing. For example, the eyeball sprite on the Ancient Essence Chest fits into the slot perfectly, implying that that might be the Ancient's face.
