After the purge of all the nobles on the list, Shen Ye's fate was already foreseeable.
Not long after he stopped, the security team from Nest City Upper City cautiously arrived, glanced at the manor, and arrested Shen Ye, who was then exhausted both physically and ntally.
He was imprisoned in the Death God Organization, though he did not suffer any severe torture or ntal abuse, his powers were indeed sealed, and he lost his freedom.
Outside, Hikamu was sowhat anxious, trying various ans to rescue his elder brother.
But no matter how much he greased palms or pulled strings, the Death God Organization was unwilling to release him.
A high-tier Apprentice Death God being imprisoned and having his powers sealed for killing hundreds of ordinary people was unimaginable under normal circumstances.
High-tier Death Gods themselves possess great privileges; even if they randomly kill in a bustling district, as long as the number doesn't exceed a thousand and the incidents aren't too frequent, the Death God Organization would at most give them a verbal reprimand without any serious consequences.
This ti, however, the punishnt Shen Ye received was considered quite severe in the Death God Realm.
The reason was simple—those who lived in B District's Dragon and Phoenix Manor were without exception either rich or noble; either high-level executives in giant corporations who could decide the market prices of a district with a flick of a finger, or mbers of the upper council... or even family mbers of other high-tier Apprentice Death Gods.
If Shen Ye had only killed one or two people among them, the Death God Organization might have helped him cover up the matter, claiming it was an accident. But Shen Ye was too ruthless, killing too many; even if the Death God Organization wanted to protect him, they couldn't handle the fury of those giant corporations and fellow Death Gods, so they could only imprison him, waiting for ti to cover up everything.
Initially, Shen Ye did not regret his actions. After all, at that ti, he was blinded by anger and the desire for revenge, and would not have regretted it even if it ant death.
However, as ti passed, his heart beca increasingly empty.
Simple revenge was never his entire goal; he also hoped to use his power to change the terrible living conditions of the Lower City people and achieve sothing significant.
He could have achieved this. Given his talent, as long as he continued to practice diligently, he might have been able to ascend to Tier Five before the age of forty, which would grant him unconditional jurisdiction over a district.
Shen Ye had always been confident in himself. His talent was strong; perhaps not the strongest, but with enough diligence and effort, he believed he could reach the top. Coming from a lowly background, he was never short of effort.
Yet... in the Death God Organization's prison, all these beca illusions.
The prison conditions were excellent, without shackles, without irritable guards, and without too many restrictions.
He was given a luxurious single room, ate natural vegetables and beef and lamb that only Upper City People could enjoy, drank expensive juices and fine wines, accessed the internet and played gas without any limitations, and even if he wanted so special services... the Death God Organization could fully satisfy them.
But there were two things Shen Ye couldn't do: escape and practice.
Here, all his ideals were being eroded by a life full of material abundance, living sotis more happily and leisurely than the Nest City nobility, and his body and spirit began to grow lazy.
For him, however, this idle life was nothing less than a ntal torturous agony, gradually slicing his ambitions and drive.
But he had no way to refuse; he wouldn't eat the delicacies? No problem, the prison only offered such gourt food, so either he ate it, or he starved.
Didn't want to fall into debauchery like others, indulging in lust and gas? No problem, because there were only these forms of entertainnt in the prison. Sure, he could avoid entertainnt and exercise instead, but it was aningless; even if he exercised nurous tis, it would only make his muscles look better, but wouldn't really enhance his power due to the Sequence being sealed.
And such aningless training would soon wear down one's resolve.
Over two years of incarceration changed Shen Ye completely.
For more than seven hundred days, he hadn't touched any of the won provided by the prison, hadn't wasted a mont on gas or other entertainnt, and tasted food just enough to survive.
To maintain his spirit and avoid a ntal decline, Shen Ye lived like an ascetic monk, becoming so emaciated that other Death Gods in the prison jokingly called him "Monk Shen."
Yet the life of an ascetic monk couldn't be sustained in a materialistic age.
Unless... there was hope in one's heart.
And the only hope in Shen Ye's heart was that the Death God Organization would one day release him, letting him once again have a chance to make his mark.
However, after waiting for two years, he received a despairing ssage from Hikamu.
The Death God Organization had no plan to release him.
The pressure from the families of the deceased was too great; even though Hikamu had exhausted his fortune, he couldn't sway the judges within the organization. So, to keep things simple and avoid trouble, the organization decided to simply keep Shen Ye imprisoned until death; after all, it was just spending a little more money, which was of no consequence.
