I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Good! Good!"

Luo Ze looked at the news that Zhang Menglong brought back and was ecstatic. Their Universe Seven had played the underdog in this outer battlefield for so long; they could finally stand tall!

With such abundant resources, not only could they vigorously develop their military, but they could also use these resources to trade with other universes for precious minerals, metal resources, and so on.

They could even think of ways to enter those universes without military protection, recruit from those universes, as energy is hard currency no matter where it is!

"Pass the order," Luo Ze said confidently, "From today onwards, there will be no restrictions on the development of the military. All units, I want you to continuously develop your combat power. Whatever you need, if it's energy you want, I'll provide energy; if it's materials you need, I'll provide materials!"

...

While Universe Seven was engulfed in a wave of ecstasy, other universes also received messages from the frontline in succession.

"What? Universe Seven occupied that vein? Are they even worthy?"

"What kind of weapon is this? It can destroy a legion with ten shots?"

"What's this weapon that even kills a Level Seven life form? Where did they get it from?"

"Such formidable defensive power, even a Level Eight Life Form can't break through?"

That was the imagery data sent back by their dispatched legion. In the data, Universe Seven seemed like a War God trampling over other universes' armies, leaving no grass in its wake; any legion foolish enough to battle them was severely punished.

They even saw Universe Seven's legion achieve a feat of fighting one against 150.

With such combat power, defeating twenty to thirty thousand legions single-handedly is not an impossible feat!

"Well, the future is long; capturing it might not mean they can hold it. Let's let them be proud for a while!"

Many universe leaders actually deployed their legions with a tryout mindset. They instructed them to preserve their strength and, if given the chance, to seize it. But if there was no opportunity, they should try to minimize losses as much as possible.

Though the outcome was unexpected, from another perspective, it wasn't all that surprising. At most, the occupier changed from other universes to Universe Seven, that's all.

However, the next two pieces of news left them furious.

Indeed, Universe Seven defeated their legions, but the battle between legions was not just about the differences in weaponry and cannon fodder combat power; most importantly, it was about the individual combat prowess of the legion commanders and those Vice Legion Commanders.

They couldn't imagine how a weak Universe Seven Legion Commander could overpower others. Could he battle hundreds of thousands of Level Eight Life Forms alone?

But what they didn't expect was that Universe Seven used a Level Nine life form this time!

Seeing this information, they couldn't stay seated.

"This is a blatant challenge to the battlefield's rules!"

"Universe Seven must pay for their actions!"

"Immediately cease all battles; there's something more important to resolve!"

If seeing a Level Nine life form personally take action made them feel what anger means, then when they heard that Universe Seven people had detained their legion and even demanded enormous resources for ransom, their fury reached its peak once more.

Universe Seven's actions were beyond mere arrogance; they were utterly lawless!

This was a declaration of war against over three thousand universes!

"Fine, you want so much, right? I'll give it all to you; let's see if you can handle it!"

"Go, prepare the Energy Baryte and Star Core, let them return our people first. We'll discuss the rest at length!"

"Immediately summon all universe Commanders in my name; we need a sanction action against Universe Seven!"

...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 10 Intimidation Points!]

[Ding...]

Since the end of this battle, the prestige points and Intimidation Points Zhang Menglong gained had not stopped accumulating. At this moment, he had amassed over 3,000 prestige points and over 1,200 Intimidation Points, which was simply overflowing with wealth!

"Activate the Alchemy Tower!"

...

Apart from reserving some for emergencies, Zhang Menglong unlocked numerous new Super God Academy features this time.

Batch after batch of Super God Academy students entered these places to start cultivating.

Of course, those he enslaved with Soul Seals, Zhang Menglong also treated them as his own. They had absolute trust and loyalty towards him, and Zhang Menglong was very willing to invest resources in them.

"Gekloren, from today, I'll rename you Zhang Dapao. Those people from your original legion will all be incorporated into my IPX-001 legion."

"Yes, my master!"

Zhang Menglong tossed him a few powerful Cultivation Techniques and martial arts. "You can freely use the Hongmeng Holy Land and the Room of Time and Spirit. My requirement for you is to quickly enhance your combat power. In a few days, there might be some troubles needing your strength to resolve! Also, make sure to train your soldiers well!"

...

400 billion Level Five Energy Crystals and 200 million Star Cores—this was no small number for any universe. On the third day, the first legion arrived to ransom their people.

Hundreds of ships loaded with Energy Baryte stopped at the vein's entrance, and a Level Eight Peak Life Form glanced at the already sizable military base.

This vein was originally supposed to be used by Universe One; it was a major humiliation that an inconspicuous Universe Seven occupied it.

"Yo, welcome, welcome!" Zhang Menglong walked out with a welcoming smile. "How should I address you?"

"Gno, Commander of the Left Flank Imperial Guard Legion of Universe One," the Level Eight Life Form said coldly. "I brought the 400 billion Energy Baryte you asked for; can our legion members leave now?"

"Of course they can!" Zhang Menglong smiled, "Inspect the goods!"

"Report to the Commander. The goods are fine, and the quality is very high!" A warrior checked and quickly reported back.

"Very good, release them!"

A few minutes later, a crowd, disheveled and even naked, walked out densely from the vein. They all had vacant stares, as if they'd just been abused.

"What about our warships and equipment?" Gno asked.

"Oh, you should have mentioned that earlier," Zhang Menglong chuckled. "I only said this price was for ransoming people. If you want to take the equipment and warships, that'll cost extra, double the price, dear."

"You..." Gno glared at Zhang Menglong, but upon seeing the unfathomably emanating Level Nine life form behind him, he forcibly restrained his impending fury.

"Very well, thank those legion commanders for their care. Farewell." Gno glanced at his men, "A bunch of trash; you've thoroughly disgraced our Universe One. Get going!"
