I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

This was an ancient city-state that had been sealed in dust for over 5,000 years, its architectural style was distinctly different from those of ancient Huaxia, possessing a touch of modern design aesthetics.

The entire visible area of the city was filled with well-arranged buildings, with neat and squared structures, giving off the feeling that the whole city was planned by a city planner.

Take the Huaxia of the early this century as an example, regardless of whether in the city or countryside, people's living standards were uneven: some lived in luxurious apartments and villas while others could only reside in self-built brick houses.

But in this city, although there was still a distinction resembling that between nobility and commoners in architecture, the style and color scheme were very consistent. Either this city had already achieved so-called "common prosperity" over 5,000 years ago, or the rulers of the city had extremely strong governance to unify the architecture.

"This is incredible, the exteriors of these buildings even have the smoothness of reinforced concrete structures," the three strolled along the streets of the ancient city, where neat buildings line the broad avenues, preserving surprisingly well despite some damage from unknown causes.

"Could this really be a city built by extraterrestrials who visited Earth?" the young man exclaimed. "To say these are constructions from over 5,000 years ago, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe it even if you killed me."

"This is absolutely a miracle in architectural history!"

"Look over there, fast!"

The lead captain pointed ahead as he spoke.

The remaining two directed their lights forward, and their pupils dilated several times over.

"This... this is simply a miracle!"

In front of them was a vast abyss, as if someone had forcefully carved it out of the earth, at least fifty or sixty meters deep, located right at the center of this underground city. And within this pit, an imposingly magnificent palace was built!

Its architectural style, even by the standards of the current era, was quite avant-garde, with a pyramidal shape, but with block-like protrusions on each side, resembling aerial rooms. Its total surface area was even comparable to an imperial palace!

"Was this built by the masters of this city?"

"To have such architectural and design capabilities over 5,000 years ago, if this isn't a relic of an alien civilization, I'll eat this entire city!"

"That emblem!" the female team member named Su Nian pointed at the pinnacle of the building, "That symbol!"

"That's the emblem of the ancient city unearthed by Qingqiu Country!"

"No, the one from Qingqiu Country was made from pure gold, this emblem is made from purple crystal!"

The three leapt up to the peak of the building, touching the purple totem.

"No, this isn't amethyst, this is... this is an amethyst diamond!"

"What? An amethyst diamond?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

If the relic discovered by Qingqiu had such a high purity of gold it was already miraculous, but it was still possible, as gold can be melted; given enough gold, the totem could be created.

However, the size of this amethyst diamond totem was even bigger than the one made of gold from Qingqiu, and it was a single, seamless whole, which meant the diamond was intact!

A seven or eight meter diameter diamond, could that be possible?

"Aliens! Definitely aliens!" the young man said, "The outer planets of the Solar System with their high atmospheric pressure and great forces, in such an environment, huge diamonds could form. This must have been moved here by aliens from another planet, it's confirmed!"

But no one paid attention to his muttering; they were focused on the patterns above, "A purple totem, with the relief of a king standing under the sun, it's exactly the same as the clan emblem Zhang Menglong displayed!"

"Zhang Menglong is an alien!"

"Enough! Stop with the aliens and not aliens," the captain, thoroughly annoyed by the young man's constant talk of aliens, interjected.

"Captain, there are two other totems!"

On one side of the palace there was a plaza, and on the plaza stood two totems, one gold and one red copper, just like the other two emblems that Zhang Menglong had provided!

In ancient times, the value of copper was greater than that of gold, which is also very consistent with the characteristics of the Ancient Era.

"This discovery is truly magnificent, we must immediately take the news back!"

"Hmm!"

...

A huge ancient city relic has been discovered in the Kumtag Desert of Huaxia, now calling archaeologists, geologists, and historians from all around the world to explore together!"

The next day, a message spread throughout the world.

A 50 square kilometer underground city!

Isotope testing dates the city's buildings to around 3850–3950 BC!

City relics identical to the Qingqiu civilization's ancient country were discovered!

The three clan emblems displayed by the world's richest man, Zhang Menglong, appeared in the city!

One explosive news story after another came out, and those who were originally engrossed in studying the Qingqiu Country's ancient civilization instantly found their magnifying glasses less appealing.

It wasn't long ago that Zhang Menglong claimed the ancient country's founders were merely their slaves and even showcased several of his family's emblems.

But the people of Qingqiu Country not only refused to acknowledge it, but they also lambasted his ancestors for generations.

However, in just a few days, reality began to slap them in the face.

With the evidence laid out, how could they explain it?

Although there was no textual evidence to prove the status of those three emblems, their placement, size, and the reliefs upon them in that ancient city of Huaxia were enough to illustrate the differences between them!

Furthermore, prior to this, no one had ever found these three emblems, so they couldn't possibly be fabrications by Zhang Menglong.

When the first group of scholars entered the underground palace and emerged, their faces were still enveloped in unsubsided shock; this ancient city was beyond their imagination. If Zhang Menglong truly was a descendant of this ancient nation, or even a descendant of the creators of this ancient city... this world was too crazy!

"Holy shit, Zhang's family history is literally like a myth!"

"If this relic hadn't been excavated today, I'd swear I would never believe such a thing."

"A family line that has lasted for more than five thousand, nearly six thousand years, my goodness, even their everyday objects left behind would be invaluable cultural relics and antiques after 6000 years. How could they not be rich?"

"Hilarious, the people of Qingqiu Country actually wanted to exclude us from the four ancient civilizations, thinking their own civilization was something extraordinary."

"Haha, didn't they admit to being descendants of that ancient country? Doesn't that make them the slaves of Zhang's ancestors? This really is a heritage of servitude."

"The slave actually thinks they can oust their own master from the five great civilizations, I'm laughing my head off."

"Keep being arrogant, keep on jumping around, no matter what you say, you're still slaves, once a slave, always a slave!"

"I always thought Zhang was just a rich second generation, but it turns out my vision was too narrow."

"Brother upstairs, you're not alone; we all had too narrow a scope. Zhang is at least a rich thousandth generation!"

...

"Old Zhang, you... you've truly surprised me too much!"

Wang Ling and Qin Feng, along with Zhang Menglong, were in the same group chat. After learning the news, the two simultaneously sent a message.

"It's really nothing noteworthy," Zhang Menglong humbly said, "I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but my strength just doesn't allow it, my ancestors had changed homes several times, and this is just one of the more ordinary ones!"
