I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Who can tell me if this thing is really real?"

"Boss Zhang has already said, if anyone doubts it, they can go to his house at any time to test the knife. He's made the offer. Could it still be fake after that?"

"Speak of reason, doesn't this thing need to be handed over to the state?"

"If it truly is an inheritance passed down from his ancestors, why the hell should he hand over a legally inherited item?"

"This, damn, I heard that the Chiyou magic knife is on the same level as the Xuanyuan Sword, right? This is absolutely a national treasure, and he just keeps a national treasure at home to protect his house?"

The audience on-site and those watching the livestream were staring intently at the dark red treasure knife in the photo, their eyes filled with excitement. If this item was really the one lost by Chiyou over 4000 years ago, this would be huge news!

It's no wonder then that the once powerful Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor. Setting aside the fact that his tribe's warriors had been stripped of their mettle, even the treasure knife that represented his supreme rule had been lost; it would have been strange if he had won.

Zhang Menglong's ancestor actually changed the entire history of Huaxia!

"Of course, you can choose not to believe. Perhaps many people are guessing that the Chiyou magic knife was just a stroke of luck our family found on the battlefield, as I obviously can't summon Chiyou to confront this issue face to face."

"Hahaha!" Laughter erupted at the scene momentarily.

"I'll say it again, whether you believe it or not actually means nothing to me. If you don't, I won't miss a piece of flesh off my back!"

"Mr. Zhang, I am very willing to believe you," the female reporter said, "Just by looking at the city your ancestors built, we can see the greatness of your ancestors. I believe that even the tribes of Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor couldn't have been stronger than your ancestor's city!"

Archaeologists have found some weapons from that era, and it's true that Chiyou was skilled in weapon forging, but the quality of those weapons is, to put it mildly, indescribable.

They are certainly not bad for fighting, but we've all seen the weapons from Zhang Menglong's ancestral home. If these two types of weapons were to collide, the outcome would be as obvious as it could be if you think about it with your "backside."

It's just hard to believe, what kind of person would have to be able to lift such heavy weapons. Is everyone in Zhang Menglong's family born with infinite divine strength and a special gift?

After all, not even an Olympic weightlifting champion could lift something that weighs several tons.

But if they really could use such weapons, then defeating Chiyou's forces would indeed be a piece of cake.

However, in that era which seems like mythology to modern Humans, perhaps such things are not completely impossible, right?

"Actually not only in Huaxia, my family members are actually quite idle. When they have nothing else to do, they like to meddle in affairs, especially international ones," Zhang Menglong said. "If it weren't for my ancestors, actually many of you might not even have your current nationality, or even exist in this world."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by that?" a young European reporter asked.

"Sir, which country are you from?"

"I am from the Kingdom of Guitecli," the reporter answered.

"Hmm, my family does have some connections with your Kingdom of Guitecli," Zhang Menglong said. "Guitecli is indeed a country with a very long history. If we trace it back, it should go as far back as over 700 years before Christ."

"Mr. Zhang is very knowledgeable about our history?"

"To you, your history is something from books, but for our family, since as early as 2000 BC, we've had our eyes and ears spread all over the world. The so-called history you speak of is merely the everyday occurrences that happened around us. We have understood these histories generation after generation through the oral accounts from our elders."

Actually, Zhang Menglong was just spouting nonsense. What oral accounts from his elders? Even with their remarkable learning capabilities, the history of some nations spans thousands of years. To learn it all would cause one's brain to explode.

Their method of learning was simple and crude: they'd inherit and replicate memories directly through the Super God Academy. The next generation could just copy and paste whatever knowledge they wanted.

So, in the memory of Zhang Menglong, there was the history of almost every country and even the unknown secrets and gossip—all of which he was privy to.

"In your history, there was once a significant political upheaval, the one that determined your future direction. At that time, you weren't known as Guitecli yet, but as the country of Guitecli. The name of the then-emperor seemed to be Leibida, who was later annihilated by a man named Wu Dawei, who then officially became the first Emperor of the Guitecli Empire."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, that was around 30 to 40 BC. Wu Dawei was a great Emperor. He led the then kingdom of Guitecli to establish a strong imperial system, laying a foundation for the burgeoning development of our nation."

"However, you may not know that Wu Dawei's victory wasn't easy since he had to face both Anthony and Leibida, two major powerhouses at the time," the young reporter said.

At that time, the Guitecli Empire was in a tripartite struggle with three governments fighting against each other and their powers being very close.

"In your history textbooks, the reason for Wu Dawei's victory is probably described as his active reforms, stabilizing people's livelihoods, winning the hearts of the people, and ultimately prevailing, right?"

The reporter nodded. That was indeed how it was described in the textbooks he had learned from.

From the sound of it, Zhang Menglong seemed to suggest there was more to the story?

"Actually, the truth is, Wu Dawei received a huge sponsorship that included gold, diamonds, food, and fabrics. With these, he actively improved the people's living conditions, and that's how he won the support of the people and united the entire Empire in the end."

"Sponsorship?" The reporter was confused. This part was definitely not in their history textbooks!

"That's right! I remember there's a passage in the legend of our country!" An Guitecli historian suddenly stood up, "Back then, Wu Dawei worshipped a Deity, and before the war, he prayed to the Deity for three days and nights. The Deity was moved by him and brought wealth in food to the whole nation, helping him to unite the country's strength."

"Exactly, the Deity mentioned in your legend is actually my ancestor, Mr. Zhang Baiting," Zhang Menglong said.

"That's an exaggeration!" exclaimed the historian, "According to the myth, the wealth was enough to fill the national treasury three times. If converted to the equivalent value today, those assets might exceed 500 billion US dollars! Excuse my frankness, but I don't believe your ancestor would have given away 500 billion US dollars' worth of wealth just to help Wu Dawei!"

"Of course he wouldn't, without good reason!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "My ancestor was touring the Guitecli Empire at the time because he was quite fond of massages, so he frequented those massage parlors. Compared to the territories of the other two leaders, there was one massage parlor in Wu Dawei's land whose techniques greatly satisfied him."

"Your country always resorted to war, and once war broke out, you would slaughter the population. My ancestor worried that if Wu Dawei lost, he could never enjoy such authentic massages again. That's why he decided to help Wu Dawei win!"

"Oh, and there's another reason," Zhang Menglong added, "there was a yogurt shop in Wu Dawei's territory that tasted exceptionally good!"

Zhang Menglong's words left everyone on site dumbstruck as wooden chickens.

What kind of creature is your ancestor? If you're just here to mess around, why get involved in people's wars? Do you have a sickness or something?

And all because the massage parlors in Wu Dawei's territory were more professional and the food tasted better, you invested assets worth 500 billion US dollars to help him win this war?

Is this what they call the whims of the wealthy?
