Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1597 - 1523: Death of the Death God, Upheaval in the Three Realms

At this moment, not only did reincarnators like Sharp Sword and Dao Feng know about the Death God’s demise, but several significant figures within the Three Realms were also aware!

The Death God was a figure who affected the operation of the Three Realms. With his death, unusual phenomena occurred across the realms, and those significant personages could faintly sense that a subtle feeling of unrest pervaded the cosmos. A tumult that would impact the Three Realms had begun!

In the Heaven Realm, chaos reigned within the Death God’s Temple, with everyone feeling at their wit’s end, as if doomsday had arrived.

The subordinates of the Death God realized that their Master-Servant Contract had been dissolved. The statue representing the Death God in the temple had dimmed, indicating that the Death God was indeed dead.

The Death God had disappeared for countless years, yet the servants of the temple had patiently awaited his return, never imagining his fall!

With the Death God’s death, the Death God’s Temple would lose its majesty, facing a bleak future, possibly even disintegrating. Without the Death God’s restraint, how many would remain loyal to the temple?

How many powerful beings, previously unable to achieve Divine Enthronement due to their contracts, would seize the opportunity to become gods themselves? Establish their domains?

How many would turn to other deities or demigods?

"The Death God finally took that step!" murmured the God of Time, wandering between future and past within the interwoven rivers of time.

"Did he do this because of me?" questioned the God of Space from a room with a half-open door within the Space Temple.

"Death is a part of life, and life is the meaning of death..." echoed a sigh within the Temple of Life.

"The future is already in place, it just hasn’t happened yet," appeared a line in the Book of Fate suspended in the vast Temple of Fate.

...

In outer space above The Second World, the King of Hell was originally in battle but suddenly stopped.

The empty hood lifted as he gazed at the sky, silent.

"What’s happening?" Male Slayer noticed the King of Hell’s change and couldn’t help asking.

"An old acquaintance has fallen... interesting..." the King of Hell murmured to himself, his tone calm, without revealing his thoughts.

"Seems time is short, better hurry!" the King of Hell remarked senselessly before rejoining the battle, his attacks suddenly becoming fiercer, as if he had transformed.

Elsewhere, Huang Yi also noticed something amiss. The Book of Heroes within his storage ring suddenly trembled, and the trace of the Death God’s aura within vanished without a trace.

"Could something have happened at the Death God’s Temple?" Huang Yi speculated, yet did not suspect the Death God himself; the idea of the Death God’s death never crossed his mind.

...

In the Underworld, at the core region of God’s Tomb.

The reincarnators stared at the Death God’s coffin, exclaiming in surprise.

"How is this possible?! The Death God governs death; how can he die?"

"Now that the Death God is dead, won’t things go haywire? Who will govern death in the future?"

"The Death God has been a Supreme God for countless years; who could possibly kill him?"

"Could the Death God have other causes of death?"

Everyone was baffled; the Death God was a figure thought impossible to die, yet how had he suddenly perished?

In the current universe, none could be found who could kill the Death God!

The Heaven Realm is the strongest of the Three Realms, even stronger than the Underworld, with the Four Supreme Gods being invincible entities.

In the Underworld, reaching five generations of Underworld Kings, yet the Four Supreme Gods remained unchanged.

Such beings should be undying, immortal, eternal and everlasting; how could they possibly die? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Brother Sword, when Emperor Huang Quan spoke to you earlier, didn’t he mention the Death God? What was the news? Could it have been Emperor Huang Quan who killed the Death God?" Dao Feng turned to Sharp Sword at this moment.

"It wasn’t Emperor Huang Quan!" Sharp Sword shook his head while staring at the Death God’s coffin, "Emperor Huang Quan and the Death God’s powers are similar, he shouldn’t be able to kill him. They’re both in the mysterious Land of Origin, a place where Divine Kings are born, shrouded in ultimate mysteries of the infinite universe but also fraught with ultimate dangers. Emperor Huang Quan told me that the Death God had previously realized the method to become a Divine King, waiting for an opportunity. Just as I became the Underworld King, the Death God sensed it and suddenly headed to an extremely dangerous area in the Land of Origin, which even Emperor Huang Quan dared not explore, as entering nearly means death. It seems the Death God should have died inside."

"Even a danger that the Death God couldn’t escape? How could such a place exist?" Ganges marveled.

Sharp Sword shook his head and said, "Nothing is impossible; even Divine Kings can pass away, let alone the Death God. However, the Land of Origin should have nothing to do with us; even if the Three Realms are connected, we wouldn’t touch it. What we need to consider is the impact of the Death God’s death on our universe. With the Death God’s power, he should have been able to dissolve his subordinates’ Master-Servant Contracts before dying. The Death God’s Temple in the Heaven Realm should still be there, but the Rule of Death is now without a master. Death, Life, Time, and Space are the Four Supreme Rules of the Universe, crucial even to the Divine King to maintain the universe’s orderly operation. Now, with no one to command the Rule of Death, I, as the Underworld King, might be able to intervene in it."

"With the Death God’s death, what will happen to the other Supreme Gods?" Dante asked.

"They might accelerate their plans," Sharp Sword mused, rubbing his chin, "Actually, ever since the Divine King’s death, except for the God of Life, the other three Supreme Gods have always wanted to become the Divine King, but they’ve never been able to take that final step. They each have their grand plans; the Death God coveted the position of Underworld King and wanted to rule both the Heaven Realm and the Underworld; the God of Space broke the barrier between the Divine-Demon Realms, allowing the Gods and Hordes of Demons to travel freely; the God of Time disrupted a portion of the timelines, intertwining past and future... Their actions were monumental, and among them, the Death God was the most fanatical. However, I have long believed that the most likely to become a Divine King is actually the mad God of Time. I even suspect, one day, the entire timeline of the Three Realms could be scrambled by the God of Time, turning us into figures of the Eternal Ancient Era, while legendary ancestors from the Distant Ancient Era might become our descendants. Such things happened when the previous generation’s Virtual World ended."

Dao Feng nodded, agreeing, "That’s possible; our current Virtual World generation is nearing its end. The Underworld has already been conquered by Brother Sword; in the Mortal Realm, the God of Slaughter and King of Hell - Yama have begun a direct confrontation. Once the King of Hell is defeated, the God of Slaughter will be the Master of the Mortal World. Furthermore, we will soon have a large group of God Sealers ascending to the Heaven Realm, where even the casual deities are on par with the Mortal Gods in the Mortal Realm. Once we go up, we might directly engage with Main Gods and even Supreme Gods."
