Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1465 - 1393: That Room in the Blood Castle
Huang Yi nodded, "I can go to the Death God’s Temple to check it out. Let’s all spread out first and see if there’s anything else in this Stone Chamber."
Afterwards, Huang Yi’s incarnation, far away in the Central Continent, immediately summoned Heroes’ Prison and walked in with large strides.
This dragon head entrance is actually just a teleportation portal, connecting to the main body of Heroes’ Prison on the Dead Star.
Huang Yi only needs to enter Heroes’ Prison and then exit from the real entrance to return to the Dead Star.
However, only someone with the identity of a Prison Warden can access that real entrance, so Huang Yi cannot bring others into the Dead Star.
Half an hour later, through the previous Prison Warden, Huang Yi investigated the big figure from the Death God’s Temple whom the Crimson Sea Demon King had encountered, and met him in a magnificent Angel Hall—
Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc
At this moment, Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc was sitting on a tall black throne, holding a long scythe in his hand, made in imitation of the Death God’s Divine Artifact, the Scythe of Death.
Behind him grew five pairs of black wings, elegant and magnificent, with an imposing presence, revealing him as a legendary Ten-Winged Angel!
He is one of the strongest angels in the Death God’s Temple, having reached the Void God Level since the Eternal Ancient Era. Because he signed a Master-Servant Contract with the Death God, he cannot ascend to Deity, but his strength far surpasses that of a typical Void God.
If he could find a drop of the Pact of Water to cleanse the Master-Servant Contract with the Death God, he could quickly ascend to Deity, grow the final pair of wings, and become the ultimate Twelve-Winged Angel.
"Godslayer Prison Warden, what brings you here today?" Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc looked at Huang Yi with a slight smile.
"I’m here on an impromptu visit today to investigate an incident that occurred in the First World during Ancient Times..." Huang Yi proceeded to briefly explain the Crimson Sea Demon King’s issue.
"I have some recollection of that matter. At that time, I acquired a mysterious box. You wouldn’t have reminded me, and I would have almost forgotten." Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc said, waving his hand and producing a box.
The box is palm-sized and entirely blood-red, with some bloodstains even adhering to it.
Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc stroked the box, frowning slightly, "This box is quite peculiar. I’ve tried various methods and can’t open it or discover what’s inside. Trying to force it open would destroy the contents, so I’ve left it alone over the years."
"Could you lend it to me for a look?" Huang Yi asked.
"Why lend it when I can give it to you directly! Things obtained in the Lower Realm aren’t likely to be treasures." Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc said readily, flinging the box towards him.
Huang Yi caught it and tried to open it immediately.
"[System Prompt]: This item has specific opening conditions and can only be opened by the Barbarian God personally in the Barbarian God Temple. Both conditions are indispensable."
"Barbarian God..." Huang Yi silently mouthed the words, then suddenly looked up at Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc and asked, "What is the Barbarian God like?"
"He’s a major figure in the Demon Realm!" Angel of Death leader Kaylar Etoc’s tone turned slightly solemn, "He’s the child of the War God and the Goddess of the Night, but neither the War God nor the Goddess of the Night could escape the pursuit of the Gods; both fell. After entering the Demon Realm, the Barbarian God grew very quickly and has now become a well-known Deity in the Demon Realm. He’s always been a fervent advocate of warring against the Divine Realm, probably intending to avenge his parents! The Divine Realm Deities who’ve died at his hands number as many as seven or eight."
"And how is his relationship with the Death God’s Temple?" Huang Yi continued to ask.
"He and our Death God’s Temple do not communicate. In fact, apart from a few Deities who were close to Lord Reaper before, many Deities don’t associate with us, especially those newfound figures like the Barbarian God who became a Deity later. They haven’t witnessed Lord Reaper’s prowess firsthand and thus don’t have the due respect for him. When our Death God’s Temple faces difficulties, they won’t offer assistance, but due to Lord Reaper’s lingering renown, they won’t offend us either. However, as time passes, our Death God’s Temple will keep declining, and future circumstances are uncertain. We all yearn for Lord Reaper’s return to rejuvenate the glory of our Death God’s Temple."
Huang Yi nodded thoughtfully. No matter what, he must personally visit the Barbarian God Temple in the future.
...
After leaving the Death God’s Temple, Huang Yi’s incarnation returned to the Second World via Heroes’ Prison.
He decided to make another trip to the Blood Castle on the Blood Moon Continent!
He directly employed the Teleportation Ring obtained at the Third Tier, inputting a coordinate he had visited before and teleported to the Blood-colored Plains outside Blood Castle.
Looking up, he saw a magnificent mountain ahead of the plains, with Blood Castle built against it. A thick cloud hung ominously over the castle, distinctly different from the outside sky.
This Blood Castle is an independent Small World, very eerie. Huang Yi steeled himself and entered the castle once more.
Quickly, he reached the castle’s topmost point, arriving at the upper floor of the grand hall he explored last time.
Here was a study, with a tightly shut door beside it.
When he was here last time, he couldn’t open this door, but through the Eye of Time, he discovered that Elder Hong Lin of the Nagas could open it.
He now knew that the Nagas and Nashash Clan were closely related to the death of Bloodhoof the Ascendant, leading him to speculate that this door also requires someone with Naga or Nashash Bloodline to open.
Now that he had just evolved into Nashash, he immediately switched to Nashash Form, tightly gripping the silver doorknob and gently twisted it.
"Click~" A crisp unlocking sound echoed, accompanied by a ripple of the formation, and the door indeed opened!
Huang Yi took a deep breath, gave a gentle push, and walked in.
Inside the door was a gloomy room. Heavy curtains covered the only window, and the room emitted a scent of blood, with some bloodstains even on the carpet.
The room’s furnishings were quite normal, much like an average noble’s bedroom, with a bed, table, chairs, wardrobe, and other ordinary furniture.
However, this room, being isolated by such a magical portal and formation, could only be entered by the Nagas and Nashash Bloodline Bearers, indicating there must be something extraordinary about it.
Previously, Huang Yi’s Eye of Time couldn’t see what happened when the Redscale Naga entered here. But now, having entered the room himself, he ought to be able to see what the Redscale Naga did back then.
He immediately activated the Eye of Time, rewinding time to the date in question, and began to investigate the secrets of that time.
The Redscale Naga reappeared through the Eye of Time. After entering the room, he searched for a while but found nothing of value.
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a wall, looking up and scrutinizing it, even reaching out to stroke it, yet causing no reaction.
Then, the Redscale Naga suddenly backed up a few steps, and then dashed forward, directly crashing into the wall.
But the wall still didn’t change, leaving the Naga slightly shaking his head, squatting in front of the wall to continue his study without doing anything else.
Huang Yi, unable to help himself, turned off the Eye of Time, approached the wall himself, and began examining it carefully.
The wall was quite ordinary, just an ordinary brick wall. The brick seams were neatly lined, showing no peculiarities.
He reached out and stroked the brick wall, sensing the most subtle variations. Every texture, every bump, every crack slipped through his fingers. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
But after a long time of stroking, he still couldn’t detect anything special about it.
He then activated the Third Eye, using its visual penetration ability, to look behind the wall.
However, the Third Eye also revealed nothing; the other side of the wall was perfectly ordinary, with nothing else there.
"What exactly did that Redscale Naga discover on this wall?" Huang Yi frowned, murmuring to himself.
Next, he studied the eerie room for another half an hour, but still found nothing, ultimately having to give up.
It seemed the Redscale Naga probably used some knowledge or ability exclusive to the Naga race to discover the wall’s peculiarities.
Huang Yi was just a Nashash evolved halfway, not born and bred, and was ignorant of much of the race’s history, culture, customs, and knowledge, leaving him at a loss for such subtleties.
...
Meanwhile, on the Fallen God Continent.
Huang Yi’s main body and a host of team members were meticulously searching around the gigantic heart, with many members employing their unique skills, examining every plank, every stone of the Stone Chamber.
"Hmm? What’s this?" Suddenly, a member exclaimed, pulling something out of Bloodhoof’s gigantic heart.
It was a glass-like object, sky-blue in color, very thin, and extremely beautiful.
Everyone gathered around, taking turns inspecting the item closely.
But each person who examined the object eventually shook their heads, unable to identify its origins.
Eventually, the object reached Huang Yi’s hands.
Upon touching it, Huang Yi felt a very intimate sensation, even though he had never encountered such an object before—how peculiar.
Huang Yi used the Eye of Time again, to view the past of the fragment, but even exhausting all his Energy Value, he couldn’t see its origins.
Its time was too far in the past, probably from the same era as Bloodhoof the Ascendant, beyond the limits the Eye of Time could perceive.
"Why do I feel that although we’ve seemingly uncovered the Mystery of Death of Bloodhoof the Ascendant, we’re actually facing more questions?" Huang Yi surveyed everyone, frowning as he spoke.
