Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1398 - 1328: Era of Corporation’s Stance

The Death God’s Temple was once one of the most powerful forces in the Heaven Realm, with followers spread across countless worlds in the Mortal Realm. However, with the Death God’s disappearance, the temple has declined, and now it is far less glorious than it once was.

Nevertheless, even so, the Death God’s Temple remains a colossal entity. To become a significant figure within it is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and few can join and immediately become an important person like Huang Yi.

He holds the Reaper’s Command, able to marshal the temple’s great army, access some of its critical sites, and even obtain some of its treasures, enjoying numerous benefits.

"Give me the Book of Heroes, and I will help you thoroughly refine it, estimated to take two hours," Obert extended his hand toward Huang Yi at this moment.

Huang Yi immediately took the Book of Heroes out of his storage ring and handed it over to him.

Obert solemnly received the Book of Heroes, a layer of white mist emerged from his palm, wrapping the book, and began the refinement process.

Huang Yi stood by watching for a while, then chose to log off.

He had been fighting continuously for dozens of hours, except for eating, drinking, and using the restroom, he was almost entirely online without taking a proper rest.

Upon logging off, he saw a food tray at the door, delivered by his fellow inmate brother.

He quickly finished eating, drank some water, washed up, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

From time to time, some fellow inmates passed by his corridor, all turning their heads to glance inside, with concerned expressions.

At this moment, countless audiences worldwide, players from various countries, were eagerly awaiting his performance.

He was the savior for everyone, and whether The Second World could be saved depended on him.

But ironically, this global savior was locked in the most secure prison in the world.

After deep sleep for over an hour, Huang Yi finally woke up.

He shook his head, got out of bed, walked to the window, gazed into the distance, and stretched his body.

From this window, one could vaguely see the women’s prison on the other side of the island, with some buildings poking out, but the details weren’t visible.

Huang Yi stretched his muscles and bones, withdrew his gaze, lay back on the bed, and put on the Golden Ring.

Once online, Huang Yi first went to check the forums.

The front page posts were almost all about the apocalypse disaster in The Second World, with events occurring in Purgatory dominated much of the space.

"The God of Slaughter was the first to pass through the Gate of Heaven Realm, successfully entered the Heaven Realm, and received a direct chance for Divine Enthronement. His actions in the Heaven Realm became crucial to whether The Second World would survive!"

"Divine Enthronement or salvation, how to choose? Renowned Chinese analyst [Zhang Xiansen] published an article — the God of Slaughter won’t return to The Second World!"

"Street interviews by multiple media outlets show that the vast majority of players believe the God of Slaughter will abandon The Second World."

"The World-Ending Formation continues to refine The Second World. Oskan Royal Academy released the latest data, showing that The Second World’s mass has reduced by 10%, the global average temperature dropped by 17℃, 23% of the oceans began to freeze, 65% of plants and 70% of animals extinct, with over two hundred continents affected by destructive strikes, leaving only the Hero’s Continent and Central Continent relatively intact."

"Due to the World-Ending Formation, The Second World reached a historical low in login rate, with a global player login rate of only 1.32%, and the average online time plummeted by 92%."

"Multiple forecasting agencies issued red alerts: If the God of Slaughter does not find a method of salvation in the Heaven Realm, The Second World will be fully refined within five days, and the world will suffer the largest financial crisis since the Pacific Ocean nuclear leak."

"Era of Corporation is under unprecedented public pressure, accused of using The Second World to destroy the real-world economic system, and yet has not made a statement."

...

Briefly looking through the front page posts, Huang Yi felt very heavy-hearted. The disaster brought by the World-Ending Formation continued unabated, and now The Second World was nearly half destroyed. Even if the crisis could be resolved, it would have suffered heavy damage, unable to recover its former appearance, and the world structure would undergo permanent changes.

Moreover, once The Second World is destroyed, the real world will also face severe repercussions, with countless people’s hard work and wealth disappearing alongside The Second World’s demise.

In this catastrophe, the role of Era of Corporation is very subtle. While they seemingly haven’t intervened, they have allowed such severe plot disturbances to unfold in the Virtual World, bearing undeniable responsibility, making silence an accomplice to the crime.

During the Pacific Ocean nuclear leak, Era of Corporation once turned the tide, saving all humanity, and now it stands to reason that they wouldn’t inflict heavy damage on this already scarred real world through The Second World.

They haven’t stopped this catastrophe either because there is deeper meaning or because they have a plan to handle it.

Nonetheless, the status of Era of Corporation is lofty, and the technological means they control can influence human development. Even with public pressure so immense, it cannot alter their will.

After browsing the forum for a while, Huang Yi estimated that the refinement of the Book of Heroes was about to finish, and immediately left the forum, entering the Virtual World.

The next moment, he appeared back at the massive altar in the Death God’s Temple, where Obert still stood. The Book of Heroes in his hand had been entirely transformed, its cover no longer tattered but renewed.

The entire book faintly emitted a red divine power aura, exuding a killing intent, like a sinister tome.

At this time, Obert exhaled a long breath, and the white aura on his palm dissipated, seemingly signaling the end of the refinement process.

Obert flipped through the newly refined Book of Heroes, pages rustling, finally nodding in satisfaction, he handed it to Huang Yi, saying, "Now, this Book of Heroes has been completely refined, stripped of its old imprints. As long as you drop your blood into it, you can truly control it."

Huang Yi immediately took hold of the Book of Heroes. This newly refined book felt heavier than before, and its cover material felt substantial. Even without opening it, one could sense the vast and grand energy contained within.

Huang Yi immediately extracted a drop of his own blood and dripped it onto the cover of the Book of Heroes.

The book instantly burst into a red glow, absorbing the drop of blood, leaving a red fingerprint on the cover, like a contract being signed and stamped with a hand seal, signifying that the book now belonged to the owner of this imprint.

"[System Prompt]: You have bound the [Book of Heroes], becoming the Prison Warden of [Heroes’ Prison], gaining numerous rights within the Heroes’ Prison, with stronger control over the criminals within the prison."

Finally, Huang Yi officially became the Prison Warden of Heroes’ Prison!

He had obtained the Heroes’ Prison two years ago, relying on it to overcome countless difficulties and reap numerous benefits, yet it was only until this moment that he truly owned it!
