I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

The Planetary Council of Earth, representatives from around the world have gathered here at this moment.

Although humans and extraterrestrial civilizations have interacted before, the previous two encounters were almost entirely conflicts of force, and this time the visit from the other side is with goodwill, which makes it completely different.

"What's the situation? They even invited all the representatives of the Planetary Council worldwide?"

"Exactly, is there something important to announce?"

"It won't be news of another invasion by extraterrestrial civilizations, will it?"

"Not likely; the fleet brought by Huaxia's Academician Zhang Menglong is powerful enough to defend against all sorts of strong enemies."

"Oh, the representatives of the 12 head nations of the Council have arrived!"

Nine men and three women entered the venue, and the entire room suddenly fell silent. These are the 12 most powerful countries in the world, a strength reflected not only in economics but also in technology and military might.

The representative of Huaxia is the once-diplomatic iron hand Su Yi. He commands significant respect in the Planetary Council, having single-handedly pushed through many bills concerning extraterrestrial civilizations.

Although these 12 individuals appear very harmonious with each other, two small groups are clearly visible: one with the Western nations and the other represented by Huaxia and other Asian countries.

To maintain a balance among the 12 countries, there is such a rule: each large conference requires an organizing country to be decided through multi-party elections.

This time, the activity was decided to fall on North America by a vote of 8:4.

The representative from North America is Siens, a middle-aged man in his 50s who was once a businessman; in capitalist countries, many things can be bought with money, then used to seek more benefits for one's capital through various identities.

Of course, everyone who takes the stage also represents the collective interest of a certain social class, as there is not much water in a national election.

"Thank you all for making the time to come to the Planetary Council meeting. You must be very curious about the theme of this meeting," Siens spoke naturally from the podium as the host.

Everyone listened intently because every time the Council holds such a global meeting, there is always something important to announce.

"As you should know, not long ago, we completed the quantum network, which means our human civilization has stepped onto the cosmic stage."

The room broke into applause, and for every human, this was indeed incredibly exciting news.

"Most cosmic civilizations hold a friendly attitude towards our joining. We've already received a flood of visitation applications from cosmic civilizations, a number I think no one could guess."

"How many?"

"Three?"

"That can't be it; I guess maybe ten."

"Stop beating around the bush; how many exactly?"

"More than a hundred thousand!"

"Wow!" The astounding number immediately sparked a chorus of exclamations.

Humans have only interacted with two civilizations so far, and suddenly, over a hundred thousand civilizations want to visit Earth. Are they joking?

"After discussion, the Planetary Council decided that our first batch will host 10 civilizations for exchange activities."

"I object!" Someone immediately raised doubt, "How can you guarantee these civilizations come with good intentions? Pardon my bluntness, but up to now, our exchanges with extraterrestrial civilizations have not been particularly pleasant."

"That's an excellent question," Siens smiled, "currently, you should all have seen how strong the fleet led by Huaxia's Professor Zhang Menglong is. I think we've demonstrated our formidable strength; otherwise, why would those civilizations be so hospitable?"

It must be said, Siens did have some insights, and he accurately guessed part of those civilizations' intentions.

"So, based on our vote, this time our Western member states will represent Earthlings and welcome these distant guests. We will engage in deep cultural exchange with them, and all knowledge obtained from extraterrestrial civilizations, we will open and share with all of humanity."

"Nonsense!" someone in the crowd muttered in a low voice, "If you get the benefits, would you be willing to share them with us?"

"Whether you share everything isn't that up to you? In the end, the gap between nations will only widen as you quietly make your fortune and give us some insignificant information."

"In this regard, I suggest that Huaxia represents us humans in communication, as so far, Huaxia has the most understanding and contact with extraterrestrial civilizations."

"Yes! We trust Huaxia; let Huaxia go!"

"We also hope Huaxia could be the representative this time," Siens smiled, "but since this is the first exchange, we must make full preparations; the Huaxia side will be responsible for security operations, ensuring the exchange is smooth and safe."

"Have you no shame?"

"Exactly, making others do the dirty work while you reap the rewards?"

Some skeptical and opposing voices rose once again from below.

"This is the final decision of our 12 council representatives. If you have objections, you can provide feedback to the Earth Planetary Council Center!"

"Creak!"

At this moment, the doors of the venue were suddenly pushed open.

"Since when do you get to make decisions about what's happening on Earth?"

A casually dressed young man strolled in.

"Zhang Menglong?" Siens and the others' smiles froze, "What's he doing here?"

"Academician Zhang, today's meeting is for our Planetary Council of Earth. Your presence here seems inappropriate, doesn't it?"

"I don't see anything inappropriate," Zhang Menglong walked up to the podium, "The entire Earth is my private property. I'll go where I want and do what I want. Is that any of your business?"

"Academician Zhang, please be mindful of your behavior," Siens wasn't entirely intimidated by Zhang Menglong's manner, "What do you mean by what you just said? Earth belongs to all of humanity, not any individual. Isn't your statement somewhat anti-human?"

"Forgive me, your ignorance makes me forgive your rudeness," Zhang Menglong laughed, "But in fact, the Earth is indeed now my private possession. If you have any grievances, you can report them to the Universal Alliance."

"Oh, by the way, maybe you didn't know, but all planets in the universe belong to the Universal Alliance; however, if you have the money, you can purchase it in your personal name. As it happens, I've already bought Earth in my name."

"Is that even possible?" Siens looked around; the others were bewildered, clearly having not researched this matter.

"Oh, you can log into this system, which records every civilization included in the Universal Alliance and its ownership."

Zhang Menglong opened an interface and then entered information related to Earth.

Sure enough, all information about Earth appeared in the system, including images, basic data, population, its coordinate position on the cosmic map, and an introduction to the entire Solar System.

They confirmed that the described planet was indeed their own Earth, which they depend on for survival!

And on the Earth's information, in a prominently displayed area, there was a line of information.

Civilization Level: Level One Elementary Civilization

Owner: Zhang Menglong

Besides this name, there was also a photo of Zhang Menglong.

"This is the Universal Alliance's system; if you think it's fake, you can verify it."

"To put it bluntly," Zhang Menglong pointed to the ground, "from the moment I purchased this planet, everything here is decided by me, Zhang Menglong!"
