I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"That's impossible!" The commander of Universe 31 flatly refused.

What concept is 200 billion Level Five Energy Barytes and 100 million Divine Cores?

Just 10 Level Five Energy Barytes can support a warship's operation for a year, even at full power in combat, the annual consumption would be around a thousand.

200 billion Energy Barytes would be enough for 200 million warships to engage in intense combat for a year. Calculated by 500,000 troops per legion, that's 400 legions, which is almost the total force a small universe could deploy on the outer boundary battlefield!

To put it plainly, a universe doing nothing for a year would only save up about 200 billion Level Five Energy Barytes!

On this outer boundary battlefield, energy is already quite scarce, so every civilization uses energy sparingly. Normally, only half of a universe's warships are on missions in a year, and these missions consume at most one-tenth or even less than full-power operations.

In other words, such a massive amount of Energy Barytes is enough to last all the legions of a universe for decades!

How could they be willing to come up with such a massive amount of Energy Barytes now? If they were truly so abundant, they wouldn't have risked so much to compete for this star core vein today.

"No problem, it's not a big deal if you don't give them," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "I've already got this massive vein, do you think I'd care about your little Energy Barytes?"

However, Zhang Menglong changed his tone, "But, given the current serious situation, if I accidentally pressed some weapon's launch button, and by sheer coincidence, it was aimed right at your fleet, that's not exactly unreasonable, is it?"

Zhang Menglong practically had the word "threat" written on his forehead.

This time, they sent out 17 legions... Oh, Zhang Menglong just directly took out one earlier, leaving less than 16.

If the warships and warriors of these legions were all sacrificed here, their losses would far exceed 200 billion Level Five Energy Barytes.

The most crucial thing is that their loss isn't just energy, material resources, and human resources, but fundamentally the power of their entire Universe 31!

Having developed on this outer battlefield for tens of millions of years, they have amassed a total of only 1500 legions, losing one percent in an instant doesn't sound like an exaggerated number, but calculated over time, it's almost like working in vain for hundreds of thousands of years!

At this moment, the commander of Universe 31 found himself in a dilemma.

"How many Energy Barytes do we have now?" he asked.

"Report to the overall commander, our legion has a total of 5 billion Energy Barytes left."

"That's not enough, far from enough!" The commander fell silent.

"Not enough is not a problem," Zhang Menglong smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, you can have others from your universe send them over here, I have plenty of time to wait."

"Aren't you afraid that all of us will join forces to resist you?" the commander of Universe 31 said, "Sure, your weapons are powerful, but if we spare no costs, with all the Level Eight Life Forms united, do you think you alone can stop us with just these weapons?"

"That's not something you need to worry about," Zhang Menglong said, "If you'd like to experience what it's like, you're welcome to join them!"

When Zhang Menglong mentioned "them," he was naturally referring to those universes that had united to prepare to resist their Universe Seven.

Though some universes had heard that Universe Seven destroyed 150 legions, they still did not take them seriously, thinking that those civilizations must be too weak because they thought they had the same capability!

Defying reality, they sent their legions to start their own paths of destruction, and soon, more than 1,000 legions were directly shattered by Zhang Menglong's hypernova weapon, with even a few dozen universes completely wiped out.

It was only then that they realized Universe Seven had fully mastered far superior weapons, and in this large-scale battle, whether it was a one-on-one duel or a many against few skirmish, Universe Seven held absolute technological superiority—they couldn't possibly win!

Seeing they couldn't win, they decided to retreat, but after numerous attempts, they confirmed they had no way to escape this area!

First feigning weakness and then sweeping through the fleets like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep, Universe Seven's reputation instantly resounded throughout the entire outer boundary battlefield.

Unable to win or escape, their only option was negotiation.

However, Zhang Menglong had already given them a chance, but now feeling the pain, regret had come too late.

For every civilization, Zhang Menglong opened with an exorbitant demand, 200 billion Level Five Energy Barytes or 100 million star cores, bargaining? Nonexistent!

Universe Seven's actions immediately sparked their collective boycott, with thousands of civilizations suddenly united despite past frictions, for they now had a common enemy: Universe Seven!

Tens of thousands of legions and hundreds of thousands of Level Eight Life Forms abandoned their warships, appearing directly in front of Zhang Menglong's fleet in the flesh.

"Oh, everyone's here?" Zhang Menglong walked out of the spaceship with a cheerful smile, followed by everyone from the Super God Academy and Gekeloen, the Level Nine Life Form who had become his slave, along with a group of Level Eight Life Forms, "What? Do you think you've banded together to challenge us?"

"Are you the commander of Universe Seven?" They eyed Zhang Menglong, who was merely a Level Six Life Form, thinking each Level Eight Life Form behind him seemed more qualified to be the commander.

"It is indeed my humble self!" Zhang Menglong said, "Is it time for compensation? Come on, everyone line up and hand over the items, and I'll release them immediately."

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation; you appear to be at a disadvantage now!" A leading Level Eight Life Form spoke, "Your weapons are formidable, we admit your fleet is formidable, but for us, these weapons pose little threat. Now your fleet is besieged by us, immediately deactivate this barrier and surrender your weapon technology!"

"I'm surrounded by you?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "No, no, no, it's you who are surrounded by me, Gekeloen, please take care of our guests."

"Who dares to harm my master?"

Gekeloen stepped forward from behind Zhang Menglong, and the presence of a Level Nine Life Form instantly changed everyone's expression.

"A Level Nine Life Form?"

Although they had organized hundreds of thousands of Level Eight Life Forms, the vast gap between Level Eight and Level Nine Life Forms is not something numbers can compensate for. After all, not everyone is able to fight across levels like Zhang Menglong and others, casually engaging in such combat.

"Their Level Nine Life Form actually came forward?"

"Universe Seven, your actions defy the laws of the outer boundary battlefield; don't you know that Level Nine Life Forms are prohibited from direct participation in conflicts? Are you intending to become enemies of the entire outer boundary battlefield?"

"Become public enemies?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "Aren't we already the public enemy of the entire outer boundary battlefield with all of you gathered here?"

"And who set this ridiculous rule? Did I acknowledge it? Did I recognize it? The rule I establish is the rule. If you're not satisfied, I welcome you to Universe Seven to sort it out later!"
