I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Hahaha, Zhang Menglong is starting to talk nonsense again, but I like it!"

"I think it might not necessarily be nonsense, you see, Zhang's family is so wealthy, maybe it really has been passed down from that time? Maybe he is even a direct descendant of that ancient civilization!"

"Upstairs, here's the pen, I won't watch this year's Hugo Awards if your work isn't there!"

Regarding Zhang Menglong's statement, netizens merely adopted a teasing attitude, for the kingdom from over 5000 years ago seemed too disconnected from the current era, even close to mythological times.

What kind of family can maintain itself for 5000 years without decline and still survive to this day?

Even the oldest family of Confucius only has a history of 2500 years, and it's not to say that Confucius had no other ancestors before him, but everyone only knows about Confucius, so 2500 years is already the limit for a family lineage.

If that family really did continue to this day, that would be nearly 6000 years of history, which is indeed a bit exaggerated to think about.

Even now, whether the people from that small mountain village are truly descendants of that kingdom is filled with uncertainty, heaven knows if it's just a fabrication made up by Qingqiu Country.

So, regarding Zhang Menglong's statement, netizens just laughed it off; maybe he couldn't stand it anymore and decided to post that message to mock those self-deprecating folks?

The moment he posted it, it seemed to directly hit those people's sore spot; they are the world's oldest civilization, after all. In their hearts, Qingqiu Country is already considered the leader among the new top four ancient civilizations of the world, the foremost of the new top five civilizations of the world, how could they tolerate their grand civilization being slandered.

Qingqiu's historians and archaeologists suddenly turned into trolls and keyboard warriors, picking up their keyboards to confront Zhang Menglong online, even those who couldn't use computers had their grandchildren or similar relatives register accounts on Weibo in Huaxia or other social media platforms for them.

"@Zhang Menglong, we demand that you immediately apologize to our Qingqiu civilization!"

"What does it matter if you are the world's richest person? Can the world's richest person just talk nonsense? A price must be paid for belittling our civilization! And you also have to leave the group of ancient civilizations as an apology to us!"

"This is malicious slander and envy of our great civilization, Zhang Menglong, you must apologize, or you will be the criminal of the entire world's civilizations!"

"Look, this is the so-called world's richest person, the so-called youngest Nobel Prize winner in human history? Is this the greatest mathematical genius in nearly a century of human history? I think he must be one just fishing for fame and recognition, right?"

...

It was one thing for the people of Qingqiu Country to crazily insult Zhang Menglong, as they are two different races and civilizations, and they naturally didn't get along—you insult me, and I insult you back, and it's done!

But what was totally unexpected was that even domestically, many people expressed dissatisfaction with Zhang Menglong, and some academic authorities even strongly protested.

"@Zhang Menglong, we should respect every civilization, your behavior is a desecration and destruction of history!"

"@Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, is this the kind of student your school educates? Education should begin with morality, your school should focus more on improving students' moral and ideological education, not embarrass us internationally!"

"The discovery of the ancient Qingqiu civilization is indeed a great archaeological discovery, even if we don't acknowledge them, but it has indeed been excavated from the land of Qingqiu and rightfully belongs to them, your remarks are too narrow-minded."

...

"Ah, why are there so many fools in this world?" Zhang Menglong felt both amused and annoyed.

Are the people of Qingqiu Country your fathers? Why defend them like this?

They want to kick us out of the group of the world's four great ancient civilizations and the top five civilizations of the world, and you're still acting like lapdogs here.

Zhang Menglong did not confront them face-to-face, but instead just updated his status again.

"Ignorance is indeed humanity's greatest sorrow! You think this is a grand civilization, but it is just a civilization created by slaves, that's all."

...

"Menglong, what are you doing?" As Zhang Menglong's mentor, with Jiangnan University of Science and Technology being insulted, he definitely couldn't stand it. Now he was even under tremendous pressure from the university president.

"Professor Han, I was just stating a fact, telling the truth, that country really was built by our servants!" Zhang Menglong didn't know how else to get him to believe him.

"Stop spouting nonsense! Were your family's slaves the ones who established a civilization over 5000 years ago? Why don't you claim they created all human civilization?" Han Jinyu exclaimed, "Our school is now the laughingstock."

"But I really am telling the truth; how about I find someone to prove it?"

"Are you serious?" Listening to Zhang Menglong's tone and considering his unfathomable background, it suddenly seemed not so impossible!

"I actually wanted to keep a low profile, but since everyone is criticizing me, I have no choice but to prove my innocence," Zhang Menglong sighed, "but the situation might get a bit out of hand."

"What do you mean? Don't do anything rash, hey!"

...

"Hong Yi, notify a few families, have them say a few words!"

"Understood, Mr. Zhang!"

...

Zhang Menglong posted three photos on social media.

"This is the clan emblem passed down through generations of our direct descendants." This was the caption for the purple emblem.

"This is the mark used exclusively by our affiliated families." This was the caption for the red emblem.

"This is the totem used by our slaves." This was the caption for the golden emblem.

On the purple emblem, the relief depicted a person sitting on a throne, wearing clothes that were lavish and exaggerated, like a supreme ruler.

The red emblem featured a group of people kneeling on the ground, dressed in simple attire.

The golden emblem showed everyone lying face down, naked, completely embodying the subservient appearance of slave servants.

"Holy shit! Is this really Zhang's family clan emblem?"

"No way, could what Zhang said actually be true? This is too outrageous!"

"Could this be a hastily concocted lie?"

"I remember now, at that one Nobel Prize in Physics award ceremony, Zhang was wearing a garment with that purple insignia!"

"Yes, yes, I remember too. This couldn't have been made up on the spot; it doesn't add up with the timeline!"

...

While all netizens were frantically discussing these various clan emblems, a person named Kapus Dorelas suddenly posted a picture on his personal social media account.

The picture was exactly the red emblem that Zhang Menglong had released.

Who is Kapus? Outsiders only knew him as a prominent European politician, but very few knew that he came from the Dorelas family, the underground rulers of all of Europe!

Those who knew his background were instantly shocked.

What does this mean? Zhang Menglong had just posted that update, and someone from the Dorelas family was already acknowledging their presence—were they admitting to being Zhang Menglong's family's affiliate?

Before they could recover, the clan leader of the European Rothschild family also shared the totem on his social network, but theirs was neither purple nor red; it was the same golden totem, exactly like the one excavated from that relic!

What? The Rothschild family are Zhang Menglong's slaves?

This... is there some severe illness going on?
