I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"How dare you, are you trying to defy the rules established by the level nine life forms of the entire outer battlefield?"

"How many level nine life forms does your Universe Seven have? Can you really stand against all the level nine life forms?"

"Hahaha, I'm curious to see if you really dare to make a move!" A level eight life form laughed, "Even if you are reckless and dare to act, do your level nine life forms dare to take action?"

"Get ready to record, if he dares to act, from this moment on, Universe Nine will be directly removed from the outer battlefield, and they will become public enemies!"

Everyone thought Zhang Menglong bringing out a level nine life form was merely an act of intimidation, no one believed he would actually make a move.

Because long ago, there was someone who violated this taboo, and the outcome for his entire universe was disastrous.

It was a resource war, not as brutal as this one, but it also involved over 500 universes and more than 3,000 legions.

The Legion Commander of Legion 1001 from Universe 26 died in battle against other universe commanders.

This was quite normal, not to mention wars of this scale, even a clash between two universes, at the scale of a few legions, no one would pass up the opportunity to kill an enemy commander if they could.

However, this particular commander had a special identity, he was the brother of a level nine life form from Universe 26, the two had always been very close, with one guarding their universe at the outer battlefield and the other wielding power within it.

The level nine life form became aware of this news, and against everyone's advice, he forcibly entered the outer battlefield. After finding out which universe was responsible for his brother's death, he single-handedly invaded their base.

In the process, he destroyed over 200 base cities of the enemy, killed billions, and eventually tortured that level eight life form to death.

It seemed to be over, but his actions were met with universal condemnation and anger. The battlefield was the battlefield, with no place for personal vendettas, and this was a rule established by thousands of universes in the outer battlefield: level nine life forms must not interfere in local wars.

Subsequently, over 200 level nine life forms brought their armies to that universe's territory, easily breaching its defenses, and the leader of that universe was beaten to death. They even traveled to Universe 26, took that level nine life form to the outer battlefield, and tortured him for centuries.

Universe 26 was thus completely exposed to the civilizations of the outer battlefield, and without the protection of their army, they became a "public toilet," raided and pillaged by any civilization bored of the battlefield, and ordinary life in Universe 26 suffered greatly.

There were several universes like this, where life was void of any dignity and security, more humble than the most lowly civilization.

Therefore, from then on, no one dared to challenge this rule, for no one wanted their civilization to fall from grace, losing sovereignty.

Thus, everyone believed Zhang Menglong wouldn't act irrationally!

"Twist off the head of that loudmouth first for me!" Zhang Menglong pointed at the laughing level eight life form.

"Yes, master!"

If it were other life forms from Universe Seven, they might hesitate... no, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

But Greklon had become Zhang Menglong's most loyal servant. Though he had his own consciousness and judgment, he would unconditionally obey any order from Zhang Menglong, even commit suicide, let alone kill someone.

When the dense killing intent enveloped him, the level eight life form realized his grave mistake. Zhang Menglong not only dared but hadn't considered the consequences; he didn't hesitate for a second!

"No! You can't! If you dare to let him kill me, your universe will perish with me!"

"No," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "the only one dying is you, while our Universe Seven will continue to thrive!"

With a splatter of blood, the level eight life form's body exploded in an instant, and those around stared in amazement at Zhang Menglong and Greklon, never expecting him to truly act!

"Did you get it on tape?" Zhang Menglong laughed.

The recorders quickly hid their equipment behind them and began transmitting the footage back to their universes. Despite the barrier, quantum entanglement transmission technology was unaffected by external factors, allowing their universes to retain the evidence!

"Hand it over!"

At Zhang Menglong's command, Greklon snatched the device away.

"Even if you kill us all, it's useless, we've already sent the evidence back!" someone said.

"I don't plan to kill you," Zhang Menglong smiled, "nor do I intend to destroy the evidence. I just want to ask if your recording device has a built-in beauty filter; I'd like to appear more handsome on screen."

Zhang Menglong opened the device and glanced, "Well, it does clearly capture my handsomeness, no filters needed, I truly am a wicked man," he tosses the device back casually, "you can take more shots to showcase my charm from different angles."

"He's simply a madman!"

After doing such a thing, he wasn't worried about the fate of his universe, but calmly concerned about his appearance in the recorded evidence. What else could he be but a madman?

"Do you remember over a thousand years ago, Universe Seven also had a madman?" Those familiar with Universe Seven recalled someone.

"Are you talking about that person?"

"Yes, he acted with complete disregard for the rules of the outer battlefield. If he hadn't disappeared suddenly, the outer battlefield would've remained peaceful for some time."

"I don't think even he did something like this?"

"Does Universe Seven produce madmen?"

The crowd murmured in discussion, as Zhang Menglong's actions overlapped with someone they once knew.

...

"Alright, is there anyone left who wants to reason with me?" Zhang Menglong's gaze swept over the group of level eight life forms, "Have your universes bring energy crystals for ransom, or stay here and mine to pay off your debt."

"Mine to pay off the debt? Does that mean we have to work as miners here?"

"What does it matter if we give it to him? He's already broken the rules, sooner or later his universe will pay the price. These things, even if given, can be reclaimed later."

"Right, that makes sense. Let's leave this place for now, and then those level nine life forms will personally take care of them!"

"Two trillion level five energy crystals, take them!" Some powerful civilizations brought surplus energy supplies, genuinely able to produce them on the spot!

"Wait, two trillion? Not enough," Zhang Menglong said.

"Two trillion, you said it yourself just now!"

"That was your initial ransom price," Zhang Menglong explained, "now I need to discuss something else with you: I've been mentally traumatized by your threats and intimidation, it's fair to double the price, isn't it?"
