131: Su Yan's background; Divine Punishment 2.0 version launch!

"Su Yan, why would you suddenly ask that?"

Xiao Wujin's hand trembled as he wiped his glasses, and he frowned at Su Yan.

Su Yan spoke truthfully, "Uncle, if you told me my dad didn't have a hidden identity despite being close friends with an Alchemy Grandmaster, would you believe it?"

"Uh, that was a long time ago."

"At that time, I was just an Alchemist Apprentice, and then I met your father. We..."

Xiao Wujin tried his best to explain, but the expression on his face became increasingly awkward.

Beside him, Xiao Panxue curled her lips speechlessly. "Dad, even I don't believe what you're saying, and you expect to fool Su Yan?"

"Exactly, Uncle. What is my parents' true identity? Also, they didn't actually go missing, did they?"

Su Yan pressed the question aggressively.

Just then, a small head with twin tails peeked out from the doorway of the reception room.

But as soon as it appeared...

...it was keenly noticed by Xiao Wujin, who shouted, "Su Ge, close the door!"

"Yes, Master!"

The small head quickly pulled back.

Then came the sound of the reception room door closing.

Hearing the door close...

Xiao Wujin let out a heavy sigh and said:

"Su Yan, you've grown up now. Logically, I should tell you everything."

"But your parents instructed me that this matter must be told to you by them personally."

"When the time is right, they will naturally appear before you."

Su Yan frowned.

He secretly activated his Talent, Eye of the Gods.

But he found that he was unable to read Xiao Wujin's mind.

"I can't read it?"

Surprise surfaced in Su Yan's heart.

This could only mean one of two things.

There were only two possible reasons.

One was that his parents' identity was so powerful that it exceeded the authority of an SSS-Rank Talent.

The other was that Xiao Wujin had proactively sealed away his memories regarding Su Yan's parents' identity.

But no matter what...

...it had already been fully proven.

His parents had indeed not gone missing, and their identities were certainly extraordinary.

"I understand, Uncle."

Finally, Su Yan nodded and stopped asking.

Anyway, as long as he knew his parents hadn't disappeared, it was fine.

At least he wasn't an orphan.

As for when his parents would show up...

Forget it.

Su Yan was about to Achieve Godhood; who cared when this cheap pair of parents would appear?

For now...

...seeing Su Yan accept it so easily...

...a trace of surprise appeared in Xiao Wujin's eyes behind his glasses.

He looked at Su Yan on the sofa...

...then at his daughter, Xiao Panxue, who sat nearby with a look of concern.

A gratified expression appeared on his face as he spoke:

"Su Yan, there's one more thing..."

"Dad, we're going back to school!"

But Xiao Panxue suddenly stood up and, with a flustered expression, grabbed Su Yan's hand and pulled him toward the exit.

Su Yan was instantly dazed. "Sister Xue, what are you doing? At least let me have a cup of tea before we leave!"

...And so,

After coming to the Demon Slaying Institute headquarters...

...Su Yan didn't even get to drink a cup of tea before being dragged by Xiao Panxue into the car back to Imperial Capital University.

Sitting in the car...

...night had already fallen.

The city lights were brilliant, and the neon lights decorated the entire Imperial Capital like a sea of stars.

"Su Yan, do you like the Imperial Capital?"

By the rear window, Xiao Panxue turned her head to look at Su Yan and asked.

Without thinking, Su Yan nodded. "It's alright."

"But I prefer Jiangnan City."

"Why?"

"Because those times were carefree and without worries. Even if I was unhappy, I could just beat you up and feel better."

Xiao Panxue spoke with a smile, her beautiful eyes brimming with light.

Because her head was slightly tilted, her long, flowing hair spilled onto Su Yan's shoulder.

It was itchy and soft.

With their shoulders touching, a strange feeling lingered in Su Yan's heart.

Especially...

...when Xiao Panxue's towering breasts were right before his eyes.

As waves of a milky fragrance wafted into his nose... Su Yan complained inwardly.

Is this some kind of test for a cadre?

Suddenly.

Xiao Panxue leaned her head on his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

Su Yan reflexively tried to move away.

"Don't move, just let me lean for a while," Xiao Panxue whispered.

"Okay."

Su Yan smiled slightly.

He simply relaxed his body so that Xiao Panxue could lean more comfortably.

Soon.

Xiao Panxue's whisper reached his ears.

"Su Yan, do you think the Land of Divine Punishment will ever reopen?"

"There's been no news all afternoon. Will we never be able to log in again?"

Su Yan listened.

He could easily hear the worry in Xiao Panxue's tone.

Ever since the Land of Divine Punishment suddenly crashed at noon...

...it had caused massive panic among the Human Race.

On the way to the Demon Slaying Institute headquarters earlier...

...almost everyone on the street was discussing it.

And rumors were already flying everywhere.

Some said the Land of Divine Punishment had crashed permanently and the Human Race was facing extinction.

Others said the Demon Race was behind it...

...specifically to stop the Human Race from increasing their strength at the source...

...so they could gradually crush the Divine Strategy Legion on the front lines.

"What do you think, Sister Xue?"

Su Yan didn't answer but asked back.

The two maintained their leaning posture.

Xiao Panxue's left breast was practically pressed against Su Yan's arm, and she was completely unaware.

She said softly, "I want to hear it from you. From now on, I only believe in you."

Ding-dong!

However, just then...

Su Yan's phone suddenly chimed.

Without thinking, he took out his phone with his left hand.

"Tang Xia has sent a message. Click to view."

Xiao Panxue looked up and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at so intently?"

Su Yan, however, focused on the time on his phone.

At this time...

Elise had already fixed the Land of Divine Punishment, and the time remaining until login reopened was only... Su Yan couldn't help but smile and held up five fingers.

"Five."

"Hmm? Five what?" Xiao Panxue was puzzled.

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

Xiao Panxue said crossly, "Su Yan, what on earth are you talking about?"

Su Yan snapped his fingers.

"Sister Xue, as you wished, Divine Punishment is live!"

"Really?"

Xiao Panxue clearly didn't believe it.

Beaming, Su Yan leisurely opened the official Divine Punishment forum on his phone right in front of her.

"Brothers! Divine Punishment is live!"

"Holy crap, just now! I was bored on the toilet and tried logging into Divine Punishment, and I actually got in!"

"Brothers, hurry up and charge in!"

"Great! I'm literally crying. I thought the end of the Human Race was coming! As long as we can play Divine Punishment, who cares about some bullshit compensation!"

Looking at the new posts popping up on the forum...

Xiao Panxue finally believed it.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she sat up from Su Yan's shoulder.

This immediately caused a wave-like movement in her chest.

"Su Yan, can you fly?"

Suddenly, Xiao Panxue asked urgently.

Seeing her like this...

Su Yan knew.

She couldn't wait to get back to school and enter Divine Punishment to test out the SSS-Rank Divine Artifact, heart of the fire phoenix.

Su Yan smiled gently. "A little bit."

"Then let's fly back!"

As Xiao Panxue spoke, she was already prepared to jump out of the window.

The driver saw this in the rearview mirror and suddenly cried out, "Young lady, it's just a scumbag! It's not worth it!"

Boom!

However, just as he finished speaking...

...the sound of an air explosion came from the window.

Xiao Panxue's sexy, curvaceous body had already taken to the air.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the night.

"Young man, love suicide is wrong! Come back quickly!"

Seeing Su Yan also stand up, the driver cried out again in panic.

Su Yan said amusedly, "Don't panic, Master. I'm not jumping out of the car."

"Phew, that's good, that's good."

The driver let out a heavy sigh of relief.

But when he looked again...

...where was anyone in the back seat?

Su Yan: Yeah, I'm not jumping out of the car, I'm teleporting... In an instant...

Su Yan had already returned to the Imperial Capital University, Human Emperor Class dormitory.

Hiding his figure within the Void Realm...

Su Yan reached out and touched the link crystal.

In the next moment...

His consciousness drifted away, and he began to enter the Land of Divine Punishment.

"Master, welcome back to the Land of Divine Punishment!"

"GM Permissions have been unlocked for you!"

"Operational Permissions have been unlocked for you!"

"Reward Distribution Permissions have been unlocked for you!"

"General Selection Permissions have been unlocked for you!"

...As soon as he entered the login interface, a series of permission unlock messages flashed before Su Yan's eyes.

"Is this the brand-new Divine Punishment? This is getting interesting."

The corners of Su Yan's mouth gradually curled up.

"I can only say, Elise, good job!"

At this moment...

...just like the other Human Race Players logging in.

Transmigrating through the star gate, the brilliance flickered.

Su Yan couldn't wait to officially enter Divine Punishment!

From this day forward...

...the Human Race welcomed a brand-new version of the Land of Divine Punishment.

It was named: Rise of the Human Race!

...In the dormitory.

On Su Yan's phone.

Tang Xia: "Su Yan, your daddy's Talent has upgraded to S-Rank again! How about that? Am I awesome or what?"

Su Yan: "I'm busy right now, I'll contact you later." (Auto-reply)
