I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Mr. Zhang, these are the entry passes to the treasure vault!" Otis handed a space storage device to Zhang Menglong. "There are 40,000 entry slots inside, for you to distribute as you see fit."

Inside this space storage device were things resembling red gemstones, looking very beautiful.

"Everyone who enters the vault must carry one to pass through the entry; it will bind to the civilization you are from and create a weak yellow Fire of Fate."

"Does this Fire of Fate also come in different colors?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"Yes, the more abundant the luck, the deeper the color of the flame. After yellow, it turns to orange, red, then purple, and black. As for the colors beyond that, I haven't heard."

"Oh, and luck can be taken away. For example, if you find a treasure and it's robbed from you, the flame will fade, first turning blue, and finally green."

"Interesting," Zhang Menglong smiled slightly, "green is not bad."

"Hey, what do you think would happen if I took 40,000 people over, and each had a black flame?"

"This..." This question genuinely stumped Otis, falling completely into his blind spot of knowledge!

If 40,000 people all obtained a black Fire of Fate, tsk tsk tsk, he couldn't even imagine the development of their civilization over the next several hundred thousand years.

The next time the vault opened, their Twin Whales Cosmic Empire might soar to Level Five Advanced Civilization, or even directly to the peak of a Level Five civilization, right?

"I remember that last civilization sent over people with more than 2,000 red Fires of Fate, over 300 purple Fires of Fate, and 7 black Fires of Fate. If there were tens of thousands of black Fires of Fate, our development speed might fly, right?"

"But upgrading the flame is quite difficult," Otis said, "to upgrade a yellow Fire of Fate to orange, it might take more than 10 yellow fires turning green to be enough."

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong immediately showed a mischievous grin. "To have a decent life, you've got to wear some green!"

"By the way, where is the treasure vault?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"I don't know either; only the Empire Association knows the entrance to the vault. They'll send someone to pick us up," Otis replied. "Selecting 40,000 people might take quite a bit of time. I'll come to Earth to find you, and we can set off together."

"Alright!"

...

"Host, want to make a fortune?" Gou Dan suddenly said.

"Oh? I don't take jobs less than 10,000 Cred Points!"

"Hehe, this time you can really get rich!"

Ding: Activate King of Creds task

"Wow, this name is intense!"

Summon 40,000 students from the Super God Academy into the vault; each person with an orange Fire of Fate earns 1 Cred Point, red Fire earns 10 Cred Points, purple Fire earns 100 Cred Points, black Fire earns 1,000 Cred Points, and colored Fire earns 10,000 Cred Points.

"Thrilling!"

Zhang Menglong felt generous toward Gou Dan, although it seemed, above the black Fire of Fate, there was a colored Fire as well. If everyone had one, that would be 400 million Cred Points.

"Tsk tsk tsk, making a fortune!"

"Director, if you want to get 40,000 colored Fires of Fate, you'd probably have to put a green hat on everyone in the vault."

"Hehehe, just thinking about such a thing is a bit thrilling!" Zhang Menglong revealed a lewd smile, "But since it's like this, these 40,000 people have to be chosen carefully. If I knew, I would have asked for 100,000 slots."

...

"Director, you're back?"

"Director, where did you go this time?"

"Director, when are you taking us to play in the Cosmic Civilization?"

Returning to the Super God Academy, a large group of students swarmed over.

"This time, I'm back to take you to have fun!" Zhang Menglong briefly told them about the treasure vault.

"Wuhu! Exciting!"

"Director, sign me up; I love showing off!"

"Director, sign me up too!"

"What the hell is a Level Three Life Form doing here, making noise? The director said to bring the best!"

"Nonsense, you think a Level Three Life Form can't beat a Level Four Life Form? Not convinced, let's duel!"

"A duel it is!"

"Quiet, all of you!" Zhang Menglong shouted, seeing the noisy commotion, "39,999 slots are up for grabs; I'll set up an arena. Fight it out; I only want the best 40,000 people!"

...

In a blink of an eye, a few months passed by. Selecting tens of thousands of people was indeed a massive project. Even some first-year students joined the fun and signed up. After all, even if they couldn't get into the vault, exchanging moves with each other was still worthwhile.

The arena was in a style of a gauntlet match. As long as one accepted challenges on stage and didn't get defeated after five rounds, they'd secure a slot. Now more than 30,000 slots had already been finalized.

"Fight! Yes!"

"Hey, your big Stone-breaking Throw move doesn't seem right; have you not practiced enough?"

"Whoa, why are the middle two fingers bent for your Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger? What are you poking at?"

"Damn, did you manage to extract Super Saiyan genes? Impressive; your future is limitless!"

Zhang Menglong watched the sparring among the students with great interest. To simulate the best effect, Zhang Menglong chose the location on Neptune. If they were to fight on Earth, Earth would probably be in trouble.

Just then, a call came from the space station.

"Mr. Zhang, the King is here again, this time seemingly with a lot of people."

"Oh, let them come straight to Neptune!"

Though Neptune's environment is very extreme, most Level Three Life Forms can endure some extreme weather, not to mention Level Four Life Forms.

"Have they arrived?" Zhang Menglong glanced at the people behind Otis, all Level Five Life Forms. These thousand people were his best warriors selected from the entire Twin Whales Cosmic Empire; many were directly from the military. They could be said to be elite.

"Mr. Zhang, where are the warriors you have selected?"

"They are still fighting for slots," Zhang Menglong motioned with his lips.

"Only a dozen Level Five Life Forms?" Otis was immediately a bit disappointed. Based on his guesses, the Ritian Sect should be so awesome that they were filled with talent. Selecting 40,000 Level Five Life Forms shouldn't be a problem, right?

The difference between Level Four Life Forms and Level Five Life Forms is very large. Even the weakest Level Five Life Form can easily take down dozens of peak Level Four Life Forms. Of course, it's not impossible for some to fight across levels, but such people are extremely rare.

"Boom!" It was as if the entire planet shuddered, and a strong airflow mixed with a mass of diamond fragments surged towards them.

Some of the weaker Level Five Life Forms behind Otis actually retreated several steps due to this aftershock.

"This kind of power, how could it possibly be Level Four Life Forms?" Otis had just had his Artificial Intelligence check the planet's environment, including gravity and surface hardness; Level Four Life Forms should not be capable of such destruction.

"Quick, check their life form energy!" A few of the elites selected by Otis looked pale; just this aura alone surpassed them by a vast margin.

"Life form energy 39, all Level Four Life Forms... but the energy from their combat collisions already exceeds the average peak Level Five Life Forms!"

Not only them, but Otis's mouth also twitched slightly: "These... are Level Four Life Forms?"
