Heroes' Prison

Chapter 392 - 382: As Long as You’re Brave, Everyone Can Be a Hero

Huang Yi suddenly heard three system prompts, one for a title, one for skills, and another for a one-time right.

Then, a vast and ancient announcement echoed across the entire continent again—

"[Continent Announcement]: [God of Slaughter] has used the Continent Guardian’s Order and has become the Guardian of this continent."

At this moment, people were still discussing the previous announcement, speculating why Huang Yi had disgracefully left the Hero Guild, but now, a brand-new announcement had awakened them!

These two announcements seemed as though they had been pre-designed to erupt at the time when people were most astonished!

Countless people, who had been ridiculing Huang Yi, suddenly fell silent, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word!

The previous taunting words now seemed incredibly ironic against the backdrop of this announcement!

"So it turns out that Instakill never intended to bow down. He left the Hero Guild just to become a more powerful Continent Guardian!"

"He never took the role of the president of the Hero Guild seriously. He has now become a Guardian of the entire continent, what would a guild president mean to him?"

"I knew it, how could the God of Slaughter bow down? His style has always been to charge forward fearlessly, never bowing down, and this time is no exception."

People started discussing again, making new guesses about Huang Yi’s departure from the Hero Guild!

...

Huang Yi took a deep breath, feeling somewhat joyful about becoming a Guardian, for Guardians possessed certain privileges! This was a stroke of adventure, not something everyone could have!

He opened his skill panel to take a glance, and in the Exotic Skill section, he found the skill he had just acquired—[Eye of Supervision].

[Eye of Supervision]: Can search for a person’s location within the continent using their name, with a cooldown of 15 days.

This skill was an auxiliary skill, leaning towards tracking. It offered no direct benefit in combat, but in certain special circumstances, it could play a major role.

Previously, in his Half-Beast form, Huang Yi had a tracking skill called [Tracking Scent]. Compared to the newly obtained [Eye of Supervision], Tracking Scent could be used frequently but required acquiring the target’s scent. In contrast, [Eye of Supervision] didn’t require a scent but had a longer cooldown, which meant it could only be used twice a month.

Then, Huang Yi checked out his title of "Continent Guardian."

By now, he already had three aliases. One, bestowed by the system and known worldwide, was [God of Slaughter]; another, given unilaterally by The Seven Archdemons, was [King of Slaughter]; and now, he had gained yet another title, [Continent Guardian].

However, the first two titles hadn’t brought any boost in Attributes, serving purely as symbols, but this title of [Continent Guardian] did provide certain attributes.

[Continent Guardian]—

Constitution, Strength, Agility, Intelligence all increased by 500 points each.

May use all public city Teleportation Circles in the continent without activation.

May enter all public cities on the continent freely, without paying an entrance fee.

May understand all major racial languages widely circulated in the continent.

May ride Mounts in the city.

May kill people within the city without being wanted by Guard Soldiers, but the number of killings in each city must not exceed five.

Within the continent, when fighting characters from outside the continent, may gain a 5% increase in All Attributes until the end of the combat.

Within the continent, when attacked by characters from within the continent, the enemy’s All Attributes are reduced by 5% until the end of the combat.

May appoint four Guardian Generals, each possessing all rights of a Continent Guardian except for this one; the targets must only be players and their qualifications may be revoked at any time.

...

As Huang Yi looked through them, the attributes of this Guardian title were plentiful, mostly special privileges covering various aspects, enough to reflect the esteemed status of a Guardian!

"God of Slaughter, congratulations on becoming the Guardian of our continent. From now on, you possess a truly noble identity," Rayte said, looking at Huang Yi with envy, offering his congratulations.

"Is the title of Continent Guardian unique?" Huang Yi thought for a moment and asked Rayte.

"It’s not unique, but obtaining the title of Continent Guardian will be extremely difficult. Perhaps, in the end, you will be the only Guardian of our continent," Rayte said, shaking his head, his tone not hopeful about others obtaining the title of Guardian.

At this moment, Rayte suddenly stroked his chin and said, "God of Slaughter, you can now choose a new name for our continent. What name are you planning to pick?"

"A new name?" Huang Yi pondered for a while and said, "Choosing a name shouldn’t be too difficult; any name will do."

Next, Huang Yi immediately chose to use the opportunity to rename the continent!

[System Prompt]: Please enter the new name for the continent. The new name must not use obscure, uncommon, offensive, or ambiguous terms.

This system prompt was exactly what Huang Yi had in mind; names like "Amazingly Awesome Continent," "Turn-the-Corner-and-Step-on-Poop Continent," or "Oh My, Aliens Are Coming, Look! Continent" were precisely the sort of strange names that were not allowed.

Huang Yi smiled slightly and directly spit out a name: "Hero’s Continent."

[System Prompt]: Renaming successful!

At the next moment, a vast and distant voice echoed throughout The Second World—

"[System Announcement]: China Region’s exclusive Continent Guardian,[God of Slaughter], has renamed the continent as [Hero’s Continent], rewarding 1000 points of Public Prestige."

In the vast expanse of The Second World, across the limitless oceans, this announcement reverberated over more than two hundred continents!

The players who were discussing Huang Yi were once again shocked by this announcement!

The China-exclusive continent had actually been forcefully renamed Hero’s Continent by Huang Yi!

This was nothing short of changing the world entirely, impacting the entire world!

From now on, others could only refer to this place as Hero’s Continent! System announcements would use Hero’s Continent to replace the old name!

At this particularly sensitive time, Huang Yi, right before the eyes of the whole world, in front of numerous enemies, boldly crowned his own guild’s name over the entire continent!

Especially those Chinese players who had grievances with Huang Yi, they already harbored an irreconcilable hatred towards him, but from today onwards, they could only live on the continent named by Huang Yi!

At that moment, countless of those with enmities against Huang Yi cursed angrily through clenched teeth.

"Damn it! Disgrace!"

"Instakill that beast dares to rename our shared continent!"

"From now on, every time we log in, we’re faced with this name he gave—it’s haunting!"

In the Central Continent, Half-Beast Holy Land, Bloodthirsty Holy Mountain.

The Bloodthirsty Holy Mountain is a sacred mountain within the Half-Beast Holy Land, always shrouded in red blood mist. From the base of the mountain, the towering peak is enveloped in a blood-red fog, hazy and indistinct.

However, the blood mist from Bloodthirsty Holy Mountain always flows upward, converging towards the summit as if an Ancient Behemoth was ceaselessly absorbing the mist year-round.

This scene inevitably arouses the curiosity to explore the summit, but those who ventured unsolicited never returned.

At that time, on a large rock at the summit of the Bloodthirsty Holy Mountain, sat an enormous Half-Beastman with his legs crossed.

This Half-Beastman’s body was not the golden yellow of other Half-Beastmen but displayed a sinister blood-red color.

His body was composed of slabs of muscle tissue, wrapped in massive blood vessels like earthworms, making him look like a Half-Beastman with its skin peeled off.

The presence of this eerie Half-Beastman was as vast as the sea, the blood mist around him gathering from all directions like a tide, sucked into his body as though he were a drain of this world, directing the flow of mist around the entire sacred mountain.

Just then, a voice echoed between heaven and earth—it was the announcement of Huang Yi renaming the continent as Hero’s Continent!

The eerie Half-Beastman slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked towards the east, then shook his head slightly, "Continent Guardian, huh? It’s a pity that in five days, you won’t even be able to protect yourself!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and continued to absorb the blood mist, not taking the announcement to heart.

This Half-Beastman was none other than the Heavenly Domain Expert of the Half-Beast Holy Land—Bloodthirster Man Tian!

If, in these last five days, Huang Yi had not demoted himself to Level 1, then he would personally take action and hunt Huang Yi down.

...

Rayte looked at Huang Yi with surprise and said, "I didn’t expect you would name it Hero’s Continent, rather than God of Slaughter Continent or Instakill Continent. You’ve left the Hero Guild, yet you’re still using the name of a hero."

"Isn’t this the simplest and most memorable name?" Huang Yi said with a slight smile, as there was a certain significance to his action.

When he previously left the Hero Guild, his intention was to prevent the guild from being implicated in the assassination incident, but he had not made a statement to everyone. Some members of the Hero Guild might feel anxious, thinking that their guild had reached Doomsday and even their guild leader had abandoned them.

Now, by renaming the continent as Hero’s Continent, he showed that he was still thinking of the Hero Guild and hadn’t left them behind.

Moreover, with the whole continent named after heroes, the reputation of the Hero Guild was bound to grow unprecedentedly, as if they were the Royal Guild of the entire continent, the true masters of the land.

This also gave a resounding slap to those who looked down on the Hero Guild. Just as they were most pessimistic about the Hero Guild’s prospects, the continent they lived on was named after the guild. They would reside on this land every day, constantly facing the name and would have to serve this land, or else be labeled as traitors.

Rayte looked at Huang Yi and pondered, "God of Slaughter, you can now appoint four Guardian Generals, who can only be Heaven-Sent Individuals. They possess almost the same rights as you, but their actions will ultimately fall on your head, so you must choose the right people to serve."
