I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

IPX-001 Legion Temporary Base City.

In the legion commander's residence of Zhang Menglong, Zhang Menglong was having a video call with Lu Yiyao through quantum communication.

"Menglong, you haven't been back for many days." Lu Yiyao pouted, showing an unhappy expression. Previously, Zhang Menglong always came home at nine and left at five on time, but recently it's been almost half a month since he last returned.

"I've been busy with overtime lately," Zhang Menglong chuckled. The space transmission system was at the base in Universe Seven, allowing Zhang Menglong to return to Earth anytime he wished when he was in the army, but now that's not possible.

"At most another week," Zhang Menglong continued, "I'll return to accompany you once I resolve matters here."

"What exactly are you doing lately?" In reality, Lu Yiyao knew nothing about what Zhang Menglong was currently doing, only that he was involved in something significant within the cosmic civilization.

"Oh, it's nothing much, just helping our universe deal with a few other parallel universes; I'll be done soon!" Zhang Menglong's tone was extremely calm, as if he were merely talking about working overtime on a project recently.

Lu Yiyao: "???"

...

Just as Zhang Menglong walked out of the room, Liu Yi came up. Now he exuded the aura of a Level Seven Life Form, but when it came to fighting, even an ordinary Level Eight Life Form wasn't enough to contest him.

It's said he recently exchanged a large amount of credits at the Super God Academy for an Innate Taoist Body and then used some credits to cultivate rigorously in the room of time and spirit at Hongmeng Holy Land. Now, he has even surpassed Chen Bingyu, becoming the veritable senior brother of Super God Academy.

Of course, his strength still lagged behind Zhang Menglong by several levels. Currently, Zhang Menglong was also a Level Seven Life Form!

"Dean, for several days, no universe has come to ransom anyone."

"It seems they don't want their own people anymore," Zhang Menglong sighed for those workers still mining, "Let's keep them working here. Having my people doing such labor is indeed a waste of talent."

"How much ransom have we received now?"

"Altogether, we've received over 200 trillion Level Five Energy Barytes and over 500 billion Star Cores. If not for bringing quite a number of space storage devices this time, we wouldn't have been able to carry it all back."

"What about the troops?" Zhang Menglong continued to ask, "Recently, there must have been significant improvements, right?"

"Yes, Dean. The batch of Level Eight Life Forms you controlled using the Soul Seal last time has all broken through to Level Nine Life Forms. The various captains have also achieved different levels of breakthroughs, and nearly half of our billion warriors from Universe Seven have all advanced now."

Liu Yi calculated in his heart, "Currently, we have 32 Level Nine Life Forms, over 20,000 Level Eight Life Forms, 1.7 million Level Seven Life Forms, and hundreds of billions of Level Six and Level Five Life Forms."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Zhang Menglong stroked his chin, "With this kind of combat power, we can practically sweep through the entire outworld battlefield!"

"However, Dean, this has nearly exhausted all of the resources in our Super God Academy; otherwise, the proportions would have been higher overall."

"No worries," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "Those resources are sustainable and renewable; never underestimate the power of Super God Academy. Besides, once we subdue this area, won't these resources be ours for the taking?"

Zhang Menglong stretched lazily: "Since that's the case, we should almost head back. Leave two Level Nine Life Forms and part of the army here to continue resource extraction, and the rest of us, let's return in triumph!"

...

Of the group Zhang Menglong captured, nearly half have been ransomed. In other words, there are still over 10,000 legions' worth of warships and equipment left here; besides leaving some for the mining troops, it's still a vast and terrifying army.

"Dean, what do you think our people from Universe Seven will react to such a large fleet?"

"Even if all the legions in our entire universe were multiplied tenfold, they wouldn't reach such a fleet size. Wouldn't that scare them to death?"

"Laughable, there's no place to store them at all."

Everyone was chattering; they never expected such a gain at the outset.

"Legion Commander, I've received an urgent message from Universe Seven!"

"What's so urgent?" Zhang Menglong paused.

"Something has happened... Our Universe Seven's legion headquarters has been attacked by a coalition of over 1,000 universes; we've been sneak attacked!" the warrior said in a flustered manner.

"Don't panic," Zhang Menglong comforted, "What are their troop numbers?"

"Over 2,000 Level Nine Life Forms, more than 500,000 Level Eight Life Forms, a total of over 300,000 legions were sent. It's more than ten times the scale of this mining battle!"

"Are they crazy?"

Upon hearing this scale, everyone from Universe Seven was somewhat shocked. It seemed they were determined to wipe them off this outworld battlefield!

"With this scale, Universe Seven shouldn't be able to hold out; how are they able to send out a distress signal?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. The entire Universe Seven only had Luo Ze as a Level Nine Life Form, and the other side had over 2,000 Level Nine Life Forms. Taking him out would be a matter of moments, wouldn't it?

Facing such a massive invasion, Universe Seven shouldn't be anything but directly obliterated, right?

"Legion Commander, it seems a prominent figure set up a very strong defense at the legion headquarters in Universe Seven long ago. As long as there's enough energy, it can withstand attacks from Level Nine Life Forms. It's because of this thing that we've gotten through several crises."

"A prominent figure? Could it be my family's ancestor?" Zhang Menglong pondered. The only person it could likely be other than Zhang Kai. To think he left behind such a contingency.

"The information says, according to Universe Seven's current energy reserves, it can last at most half a Cosmic Day."

"We still have time!" Zhang Menglong stated. If they hurried at the fastest speed, they'd have a very good chance to return within half a Cosmic Day!

"Today, let's put an end to the chaos on this outworld battlefield!"

Zhang Menglong entered the fleet command room, "At any cost, the entire fleet, set course at maximum speed back to Universe Seven!"

...

Universe Seven's legion headquarters.

Hundreds of thousands of legions, billions of warships, they destroyed all of Universe Seven's bases and defense lines except for the legion headquarters itself in less than half a Cosmic Day.

Faced with such a scale of attack, Universe Seven was caught completely off guard. They suffered enormous losses, with almost half of their combat personnel lost, and even a large number of Level Seven and Level Eight Life Forms were killed.

Resistance was utterly futile. With such an overwhelming disparity in troop numbers, they had no power to resist and could only take off their armor and hide in the legion headquarters.

This defensive system was a large formation, a Sect Protection Array from a cultivation civilization, exactly what Zhang Menglong's ancestor Zhang Kai left behind in the past.

The super-fusion weapons Zhang Menglong left in Universe Seven had long been exhausted in the counterattack. At this moment, it had become Universe Seven's last line of defense!

Billions of warships were launching frenzied attacks against this Sect Protection Array, sparing no effort. Every attack was with the strongest weaponry, at maximum power, while Universe Seven's already sparse energy reserves were being consumed furiously.

Luo Ze and others worriedly watched the massive fleet. Not only him, but several other Level Nine Life Forms had come to this outworld battlefield at this critical moment. Behind them was the entrance to Universe Seven, and if this great array was breached, Universe Seven would descend into devastation.

"Menglong," Luo Ze gazed at the horizon, "Come back quickly; we can't hold out much longer!"
