I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"The Earth Planetary Council is abolished, and the Earth Civilization Administrative Center is officially established. This organization will be fully responsible for cultural and economic exchanges between Earth and other cosmic civilizations."

"After much communication and negotiation, Earth will welcome its first batch of visitors, who all hail from the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire, civilizations of the Level Three Galaxy under the Laniakea Supercluster, closest to us humans!"

"What kind of sparks will our first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations ignite? Please stay tuned!"

News flooded every media outlet as humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations prepared for their first contact, filling the world with anticipation. The reception process would be broadcast live, marking an important milestone in human history.

"I never thought I could see aliens in my lifetime."

"Upstairs, don't you know you can see aliens for only a 200 yuan ticket? Plus, various alien talent shows."

"Hahaha, sorry, I instinctively thought of them as animals. I punish myself with a drink for my recklessness."

"I wonder what they look like. I'm so excited."

"I've heard Huaxia will be the representative in first contact with those alien civilizations, it will surely be spectacular."

The first contact is highly valued not just by human leaders but also eagerly anticipated by other Earth inhabitants.

...

Early in the morning, human representatives were already waiting at the extraterrestrial civilization reception center, transformed from a former US Air Force base.

"Qin Feng, is everything in place for security?" The representatives, including Mr. Zhou, are very concerned about this contact.

"Don't worry, all warships are ready. If any unsafe factor arises, we can implement orbital strikes immediately."

"Mr. Zhou, no need to worry!" Zhang Menglong said while munching on a rice ball, "Just Level Two civilizations, no way they'd dare cause trouble on Earth even with ten times more courage."

"You," Mr. Zhou tapped Zhang Menglong's forehead, "Even so, be a bit formal, don't let others think we Earthlings are too proud to be impolite."

"Don't worry about such details," Zhang Menglong said, "Being formal is based on equal status, whereas we don't know how much higher our status is than theirs. They're here to seek favor; if we lower our stance, they might not properly assess their position."

"Mr. Zhou, Menglong's point isn't without reason. We should be thoroughly prepared with etiquette, but also maintain our dignity."

"General Qin, your perspective is broad!"

"They're here!"

A luxurious passenger spaceship slowly appeared in the clouds. The visiting civilization ships were temporarily docked at the Moon Base, an unwritten rule for most cosmic civilizations.

This time, each civilization sent about 10 representatives, their chief diplomats.

Usually, they are assertive and bold in diplomatic occasions, but at this moment, they acted like compliant children in the spaceship, not daring to speak.

They knew little about Earth civilization, which was newly recognized by the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire as a Level One civilization, and wouldn't have known if not for the Empire's King's special emphasis and warning.

However, after some investigation, they found this civilization extremely intimidating.

A Level One civilization, yet its universal currency Huaxia currency has an exchange rate equivalent to the currency of Level Five civilizations in the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire!

Even the largest Level Four civilizations in the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire don't have such honor!

Rumors even circulated that the 100 fleet seen recently at the Empire's border port belonged to Earth's rulers!

With such strength, even if 1000 Twin Whales Cosmic Empires were shattered, would they dare not handle it carefully?

Being the first batch to exchange with Earth's civilization, they were somewhat astonished by this privilege.

"I thought those were rumors. Did you see?" The diplomats whispered among themselves.

"Rumor indeed, where could there be only 100 fleets of Level Five Peak civilizations, at least 1000 right?"

"And at the satellite port, did you see those workers?"

"Saw them, the detector I brought told me these people must be at least Level Four Life Forms, and hundreds are Level Five Life Forms, yet in this civilization, they do such low-level inexpensive construction work!"

"Yes, and the overseers, many are just Level One Life Forms, needing life support systems to survive in cosmic space—I feel my worldview has been shattered!"

"Not only that, I've seen Level One Life Forms yelling and beating on those people—this kind of behavior would be judged in our civilization!"

"Also, do you feel a lot of forces are constantly targeting us?"

"I felt it!" Some security personnel accompanied them, the weakest being Level Four Life Forms.

"The soldiers on this spaceship are only Level Two or Level Three Life Forms, but I sense many terrifying forces hidden on this planet."

"Could there be Level Six Life Forms?"

"I think so, perhaps more than one." A Level Four Life Form took out a gemstone-like object, "My teacher at the Martial Dao association of the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire gave me this during my practice."

"What is this?"

"A natural detection device," the person said, "Bound with one's energy, it indicates the danger one is facing."

"What do you mean?"

"Simply put, it shows if I'm safe, the darker the color, the greater the danger. I once encountered a Level Five Life Form and it turned red."

"Why is it turning black now?"

"I once had the fortune to see the King of our Cosmic Empire from a distance, this gemstone turned purple then! As for black, do you realize how dangerous I am now?"

"Gasp!"

"Could there be Level Seven Life Forms on this planet?"

"It's not impossible either!"

"You don't have to guess, there are not only Level Seven Life Forms but also Level Eight Life Forms here!" A young voice spoke from nearby.

"Who is this..." This young man immediately caught everyone's attention.

"I'm Izek civilization's Lord!"

"Izek civilization?"

"You... You're the Lord of Izek civilization?"

Everyone stared at him in shock.

Besides Zhang Menglong's affairs, the largest news recently in the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire was about the marriage of the Lord of the Level Two Izek civilization and the Princess of Andromeda.

It was said that a group of Level Six and even Level Seven Life Forms appeared at the wedding, displaying great honor.

News also spread that the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire's King visited that civilization, their currency was almost equal to Twin Whales Currency!

"I've heard your name for a long time."

"Do you know about Earth's matters?"

"Could you tell us some?"

"The ruler of Earth civilization is my friend," Ireel said proudly, "There are too many things I can't tell you, but I can share, even Level Eight Life Forms must bow before him. Level Six and Level Seven Life Forms may not qualify as his slaves, understand?"

"So, put away your petty thoughts!"
