Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 537 - 456: Why Is My New Identity Still a Security Guard?

However, just before entering the new world, Su Yuan asked a very important question.

"If I die in the Illusion Realm World, do I get a chance to restart?"

Chu Lanxi responded in a grave tone:

"If you die in the Illusion Realm World, the Taixu Illusion Realm will explode, so you only have one life."

"But aside from you, the other people trapped in the Illusion Realm World won’t truly die; they’ll just fall into slumber."

"As long as you eventually take control of the world’s authority, you can awaken them."

Su Yuan nodded.

He had no objection to having only one chance to clear the game, as if he didn’t only have one life in the real world as well.

However, he was glad that the innocent people could respawn after death, which meant that he could focus on clearing the game without worrying about saving others.

He could even sell out Teacher Taibai in the Illusion Realm if necessary.

Like making him join the Demon Sect, or get tangled up with some demoness, haha!

The thought was quite amusing.

With that, Su Yuan had no more questions.

He took a deep breath, turned around to face the others, and said seriously:

"Senior Su, Senior Qi, and Nuoyi, Hanyan, you must have heard everything just now."

"I might need to enter the Illusion Realm for a while. During this time, please take charge of the Blue Star Federation’s affairs... With such a huge Ten Immortals City suddenly disappearing, I assume the whole world is in chaos now."

Having said that, Su Yuan was about to walk into the bubble that swallowed everything.

But just then, a voice sounded from behind him:

"As for managing the situation, having Youli alone is enough; she will coordinate everything."

Su Yuan turned around to look at the speaker, the Star River Celestial Monarch.

The pink-haired fairy was also looking at him with gentle eyes.

"The responsibility of saving the world shouldn’t rest solely on you, little guy. I will go with you."

"That guy Chu Jiang mentioned that you’d need allies on your path to defeating the Demon King, and I am undoubtedly the most powerful of them all."

"As long as you can find me inside the Taixu Illusion Realm, you can go straight to speedrunning."

Su Yuan stared blankly at the Star River Celestial Monarch for quite a while before saying:

"But I might fail."

"But I believe you will succeed."

The Star River Celestial Monarch replied with a smile.

And joining her in speaking were Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan.

"If you need help, we can assist too. Rather than waiting outside doing nothing, it’s better to go with you."

Qi Hanyan also raised her hand and said: "Exactly, let’s form a Hero Squad together. I want to be the Elf Mage of the squad! I want to dye my hair white!"

Sorry, we’re a Chinese-style Hero Squad; there are no Elf Mages.

You might as well be a first-level Scallion Master from Shandong.

However, you do have an unmatched advantage if you want to cosplay a certain white-haired Elf Mage, being equally flat and all.

Su Yuan instinctively grumbled to himself.

But more than that, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"I’m not going to say anything sappy and ruin the mood, and I won’t chase you away."

Su Yuan cleared his throat and pointed seriously at the two girls:

"But I have a request. Your new identities in the Taixu Illusion Realm must be noble ladies or sect Saintesses, otherwise I can’t live off you!"

Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan: "..."

Yes, confirmed, this guy is truly Su Yuan himself!

Reincarnation is a technical skill; who knows if you’ll end up as a rich lady!

While they were chatting, the invisible bubble had already engulfed the entire Ten Immortals City and was expanding towards Su Yuan and the others.

It was estimated that in less than thirty seconds, they would be directly swallowed, so there was no need to move their bodies.

On the field, only Wu Luo True Monarch was rapidly retreating, moving away from the influence range of the Taixu Illusion Realm.

There was no choice; someone had to communicate what happened in space and manage the larger picture.

Especially since after losing Ten Immortals City, there were not many Nascent Soul cultivators left in the Blue Star Federation. Besides those fighting outside or those serving as Realm Masters, almost all native Nascent Souls had been wiped out.

She had to quickly call back the Nascent Soul cultivators from outside and invite another Divinity Transformation cultivator to sit at home.

Only in this way could they avoid an invasion from external enemies.

The only good news was... Fake Chu Jiang ultimately didn’t deliver the information, so Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity might still be unaware of the changes happening within the Blue Star Federation.

As long as Su Yuan could return with everyone within a year, they will not only be unharmed in this calamity but could also gain another weight to tip onto the victory scale.

"Su Yuan, you little Huang Mao better bring everyone back safely for me."

Looking at Su Yuan, the Star River Celestial Monarch, Chen Nuoyi, and Qi Hanyan being swallowed by the bubble, Wu Luo True Monarch’s beautiful eyes held a hint of worry.

After all... her three most beloved people had all left with Su Yuan.

...

When Su Yuan opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

He stood at the foot of a mountain surrounded by ethereal energy, with endless pristine scenery in the distance, dotted with small towns and villages.

"Su Yuan, open your eyes, I’m your father, Chu Lanxi!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Su Yuan’s face turned black:

"Lanzi, you...!"

"Oh? Not influenced by the Illusion Realm, huh? Then I don’t need to wake you up specifically; you work hard on your own."

"But, even if your mind isn’t clouded by the Illusion Realm, some memory fragments should have been inserted into your mind, relating to your new identity."

Chu Lanxi chuckled, and after his voice subsided, no new sound came.

Su Yuan knew that this guy wasn’t in a good position either, probably fighting against the remnants of Fake Chu Jiang’s will, unable to keep his focus on him.

He had to rely on his own efforts.

"Haha, so what kind of new identity did I get? Am I a Saint Heir from a major Sect, or a rich second generation from a top Cultivation Clan?"

Feeling the memory fragments in his mind, Su Yuan rubbed his hands together with an expectant look and began to examine the memory.

The fragments weren’t many, and it took less than a minute for him to finish reading them.

Then Su Yuan couldn’t help but curse:

"Damn! Why is my initial identity still just a security guard in the new world? Am I destined to be a security guard all my life?"

Having gone through the memory, Su Yuan looked speechlessly at his clothes.

It was a very ordinary cotton robe, originally blue but slightly faded from being washed multiple times.

As for the shoes, they were even cheaper, bought in a market at the foot of the mountain for ten cents a pair of cloth shoes.

From head to toe, except for the standard long sword on his back that might be worth something, he was utterly broke.

From the memory, he learned that in this new identity, he was still called Su Yuan, just a low-level cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, employed at a minor sect called Profound Sound Sect, holding the rank of outer disciple, currently serving as a gatekeeper disciple.

The Su Yuan in the memory was a cunning guy, always delegating gatekeeping duties to his colleagues, relying on his superior cultivation to slack off.

"Humph, such a lazy person, whereas in my school days, I used to run meal deliveries all day long without a word of complaint."

"A security guard should act like a security guard, not be a slacker!"

Su Yuan shook his head, resolving to speak with the fellow guard next to him and change their impression of him.

With that in mind, Su Yuan turned his gaze towards the guard on the other side of the mountain gate.

To Su Yuan’s surprise, it was a small and skinny female disciple.

She wore the same clothes as him, though they appeared a bit loose and ill-fitting.

However, she stood tall and straight, diligently performing her guard duties.

The most striking thing was, the girl had dazzling golden hair, and a very pretty face.

Wait... wasn’t that girl Gui Yuan?! How did she end up here!
