Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 515: The Difference Between Immortals and Mortals [Third Update]

"What's going on? Why can't they remember me?"

Su Yie furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

Even if the timing was off, his parents should still recognize his face. Moreover, based on his observations, their appearances and ages were similar to when he had left, even slightly younger.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Su Yie entertained a terrifying speculation.

Xiwan City's descent from Earth to Ancient Wilderness was tantamount to traveling from Chaos to Hongmeng, nearly an impossible feat. Could it be that he had arrived in a parallel universe, and this place was not the Earth he had come from?

With this thought, Su Yie's frown deepened.

"Wow, so handsome!"

Just then, an exclamation came from behind him.

Two high school girls, arms linked, walked towards him, their eyes fixated on Su Yie in his white garments.

Su Yie, with his handsome and imposing demeanor and dressed in white, resembled a peerless swordsman out of a costume drama.

His profound cultivation made him seem incomparable to any costume drama actor, dazzling the two high school girls instantly.

Su Yie glanced at them and turned to leave.

However, the two high school girls caught up with him, requesting a photo together.

With Su Yie being so handsome, he might become a popular celebrity in the future; they wanted to get ahead of the game.

Given Su Yie's outfit, he might have just escaped from a drama set.

Su Yie didn't use Void Jutsu to avoid unnecessary chaos, so he agreed to the high school girls' request for photos.

After a few minutes of fuss, Su Yie refused the girls' requests to add him on WeChat or QQ and turned to leave.

The stylish departure left the girls quite disappointed.

Su Yie entered the downtown area, standing by the roadside, he beckoned across to a mobile shop thirty meters away, and a mobile phone appeared in his hand.

He began to browse the internet, wanting to see if there was any news about Xiwan City.

Luckily, the phone was still connected to the mobile shop's Wi-Fi; though the signal was poor, Su Yie could easily access the internet.

Soon, his expression turned grave.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Searching for Xiwan City yielded news on its recent development and some civil cases.

He searched using some other keywords.

After a while, his expression grew exceedingly gloomy as he struggled to calm his emotions.

This Earth had no incidents of cities vanishing overnight, much like the Earth in his memory, only without the city crossing over.

"What is this magic artifact? It looks quite novel," asked Xiao Pao, intrigued. The small screen seemed to hold many things, even people and cities.

"This is called a mobile phone, just a Blinding Technique, not a magic artifact!"

Feng Long replied disdainfully, having asked the same question back in Xiwan City, and that response had come from Su Yie.

With a wave of his right hand, Su Yie sent the phone back.

Feeling irritated, he prepared to leave.

Since this was not the Earth he wished to return to, staying here was pointless.

However, he suddenly became interested in the child of the parents from this Earth.

When he was online, he had found that significant figures and celebrities from his past life were present, confirming the reality of this parallel universe.

He wanted to see if his parallel universe self looked different.

With that thought, he turned and headed towards his parents' residence.

All along the way, he drew many gazes, but he paid them no mind.

As for whether to steal a set of modern clothes to change into, he didn't even consider it.

He had grown accustomed to wearing all white.

Moving through the crowd, Su Yie seemed so out of place.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure walked by him, startling him into stopping his steps and reaching out to grab the girl's wrist.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

The girl glared back, scolding him. She had silver hair down to her waist, wore a princess dress, and had a delicate face, almost as if she came from an anime.

The two girls accompanying her were also dressed in skirts, though not as eye-catching as hers.

Su Yie's lips curled up, he released his right hand, and smiling, said, "My name is Su Yie, how about we become friends?"

The girl in front of him was none other than Nan Xiaopao.

Nan Xiaopao scoffed and snapped, "You cheapskate, can't you come up with a more original way to hit on someone?"

After speaking, she turned her head and walked away, her silver hair slapping Su Yie's face, clearly on purpose.

Su Yie found it funny, realizing that no matter the dimension, Nan Xiaopao's temperament was always so straightforward.

He flicked a finger towards Nan Xiaopao's retreating figure, and a barely visible golden light entered her body. He smiled slightly and then turned to leave.

Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.

"Xiao Pao, that guy was so handsome just now. If it were me, I would definitely have agreed to be his friend," said one girl to Nan Xiaopao, her face full of adoration.

Another girl pursed her lips and hummed, "The handsomer the guy, the less reliable he is!"

Nan Xiaopao remained indifferent and laughed, "Forget about him, let's go, I'm almost dying of thirst."

Although he was surprised to see Nan Xiaopao in Nanbin City, he had no intention of finding out why.

Parallel dimensions always have their differences.

...

Su Yie stood in front of the window, looking down at Su Zhenhe and Zhang Lan chatting with neighbors in the courtyard; he wore a slight smile.

This bedroom matched the one in his memory, not large, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk and chairs. The only difference was that the photo on the desk was of another young man.

At first glance, one might think it was his younger brother.

Su Yie was not annoyed or bitter about being replaced in this world. On the contrary, he felt somewhat relieved.

At least his parents here could lead normal lives.

Now, Su Yie had become the Demon Emperor and could no longer return to a mundane life. Even if he later found his real parents, he probably wouldn't stay with them all the time. At most, he'd ensure they were well-provided for, or perhaps, take them on the path of Cultivation.

He sat on the bed, starting to recall the past.

Scenes from before his crossing played back in his mind like a movie.

Inwardly, he had a realization.

The Celestial Authority Demon Star Dao Fruit within him started to rotate involuntarily.

At that moment, he seemed to comprehend the true difference between immortals and mortals.

"Tsk tsk, I never imagined such a Heavenly Pride was born to a couple of ordinary folks. It's really rare," Feng Long remarked, always curious about Su Yie's origins. It believed that this couple was not the whole truth.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yie heard footsteps outside the door; Su Zhenhe and Zhang Lan were coming back, and from the sound of it, they seemed about to enter this bedroom.

Su Yie had no choice but to leave.

He didn't go far, just to a nearby park where he sat down on a bench and quietly reflected on his state of mind.

As night fell, the trees in the park, illuminated by the street lights, appeared like Evil Ghosts, with gnarled branches. Many elderly people and couples began to walk through the park.

During this time, some people noticed Su Yie; in the night, his all-white attire stood out glaringly. Upon closer inspection, with his long flowing hair and meditative posture on the bench, he was almost comical.

"This dude is practicing cultivation, quick, take a picture and upload it to the internet!"

A young man said to his girlfriend, laughing. Meanwhile, he took out his phone from his pants pocket and started to film Su Yie.
