Chapter 363: Divisions and Heart Demon

Mr. Chen walked out of the tavern, and even when he came out, he only nodded casually in response to Liu Zhaoming, who was waiting outside the private room to greet him, and walked away on his own.

Hmm, what was Liu Zhaoming saying to me then?

He seemed to have handed over a business card and politely said to me, "Mr. Chen, this is my private number. If you have any issues, please feel free to call me. I am willing to serve you with all my capability."

Chen Yan just took the business card, didn’t even look at it, and put it in his pocket.

When he came to the street and looked at the car parked in front of him, Chen Yan didn’t get in but instead moved his steps at will and slowly walked towards the end of the street.

Right behind him, the driver in the car hesitated for a moment, then started up the car and slowly followed, not daring to disturb Chen Yan, just following slowly at low speed from behind.

Chen Yan felt the sunlight shining on him.

Just past noon, it was the time when the temperature gradually climbed to the highest point of the day, and Chen Yan felt the warmth the sunlight brought as it fell on him.

This narrow yet bustling street, with shops on both sides, hurried and indifferent pedestrians, the Port City police patrolling on the roadside, the elderly and children waiting at the traffic lights at the intersection, the exhaust left by passing cars...

This mundane yet real world, however, brought a subtle psychological perception to Chen Yan.

Everything, excessively real, yet seemingly overly illusory.

The real and the illusory, in Chen Yan’s heart, seem to have formed a huge and subtle chasm.

Just a few minutes ago, he decided life and death with ease, and as he wished!

It wasn’t the life and death of an ordinary person, but of an existence that held tremendous wealth, a member of the top echelon of this world.

That person’s wealth was like standing on a cloud, able to decide the livelihood of thousands upon thousands of people, determining the fate of thousands upon thousands of families. He was the kind who could stand on a cloud, chatting and laughing with other dignitaries, then deciding whether many people would be poor or wealthy, whether many could afford a house, get a good job, or whether their children could attend a good school...

And this person’s life and death, just now, I decided.

This thought wasn’t a sudden, bored melancholy or affectation. Instead, it was a "illusory" reality that Chen Yan felt.

Because just a few days ago, what he experienced in the Domain Realm was entirely different.

In the Domain Realm, he was a careful and struggling existence in the extremely cold forest of Evil Land Mountain. In the Snowfield, he walked for countless days and nights, cautiously hunting the Fierce Beast Race, just to collect a few heads for a bounty as a low-level Loose Cultivator.

In the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, he got involved in a murder case, struggling to survive in a crevice, and finally managed to join the Sect as an Outer Disciple at the very bottom.

In the Southern Border, he was cautiously avoiding those black-market buyers in the marketplace and was a nameless figure who could only sit and watch in the back row at the auction.

His fate was controlled by others — by many, many hands.

Even the old lady, the ancestor of the Southern Ghost Race, the god of the Ghost Race, the Saint, the Venerable...

Putting aside those familial ties, his fate was also controlled by the old lady.

She arranged some things for him, some destinies.

She was willing to tell him some things, but there are things she didn’t want to tell him, so... she didn’t!

Was the Cave Maiden from the Black Wood Tribe, Zhan Li, afraid or respecting me?

Of course not, she was afraid of the old lady behind me, respecting the ancestor of the Ghost Race.

In reality, a figure capable of deciding life and death with a single thought was just a low-level Loose Cultivator in the Domain Realm.

Or this sentence gets reversed: a low-level Loose Cultivator in the Domain Realm can decide life and death in reality with a single thought.

It’s absurd, surreal.

Which side is real, which side is false?

If both are real, then... there must be something wrong somewhere!

·

This intense sense of division, Chen Yan had felt long ago, it had always been there.

But after coming back from the Domain Realm this time, this sense of division seems to have reached its peak.

After the old lady, in a warm manner but essentially "kicked him out of the Domain Realm", he returned to this world, actually, there was always a restlessness in the depths of his heart that he couldn’t describe or understand.

This restlessness, at this moment, he finally understood.

It was anger.

Anger that his fate was at the mercy of others’ arrangements, what he could know, what he couldn’t, what he could do, what he couldn’t, everything couldn’t be under his control!

Even if this manipulator was the old lady he admired the most!

His anger wasn’t directed at the old lady, but actually seemed to be directed at himself.

At his own helplessness.

At his helplessness in many, many things!

Yet such a helpless self could make the head of the mighty "Hong Kong City Liu Family" plead respectfully towards him!

Chen Yan walked on the street, feeling the warmth of the sunlight, but a slight chill arose in his heart!

As a Cultivator, he realized that the first Heart Demon since he began his cultivation had arisen!

Am I a figure capable of deciding life and death, or a powerless insignificant person?
