Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

"Commander, there were only three minutes left until the gamma-ray levels reached their maximum!" In Fang Jueyu's Academician Workstation, the atmosphere had already reached its peak tension.

"Long Ting, is everyone deployed?" The commander's expression was grave; this workstation had practically become a command center.

"Commander, the deployment is complete. No matter where they descend from, our fighters and personnel can arrive immediately."

"Fang, you have to make it on time. All we can do is buy you some time..."

...

"Xiao Yi, how long do we have left?" Fang Jueyu was as anxious as ants on a hot pan; the invaders had reached Earth two days earlier than calculated.

"Host, approximately an hour and twenty minutes!"

"Damn it, starting a live stream! Making money—almost delayed the important things!" At this moment, Fang Jueyu regretted every minute wasted on trivial matters.

"Host, do not worry; even if they reached Earth before us, they couldn't attack immediately. There should at least be some negotiation, and we might just make it in time after all."

"I hope so!" Fang Jueyu said, "Everyone, prepare for battle. As soon as we reach Earth, it might be an immediate fight. We have no time to prepare."

"Yes, Master!"

...

Three minutes later, a pitch-black fissure appeared near the Moon's orbit, and those gigantic silver-white battleships sailed through the fissure.

"Is this Earth? What a beautiful planet!" Captain Licum stood before the screen, admiring the glowing blue planet.

"Conduct an immediate scan to determine the current status of this planet!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Within moments, the fleet's technicians had infiltrated the Earth's internet, which was as defenseless to them as it was to Xiao Yi.

"Captain, the technology level on this planet barely reaches the threshold of a level-one civilization. The strongest humans are Divine Ability Users at level one, with only four in total."

"On this planet, there are even beam cannons and traces of magical and cultivation civilizations, which exceed their technological level."

"It's strange that such an indigenous planet could produce Divine Ability Users..."

"There's nothing strange about it," Licum remarked, "Keep in mind, several level-two and level-three civilizations visited this planet in the past. During a major war, they perished along with this planet's civilization. It's not surprising if the newly emerged civilization found some of their technology and created things beyond their era."

"That's true, but even if they made some progress, such weaponry poses no threat to us." This time, the Joraike Family brought not only these 200 level-three civilization primary battleships but also a legion of Martial Artists.

Licum had the strength of a level five Divine Ability User; besides him, there were 2,000 squad leaders with the strength of a Divine Ability User, and 200,000 Martial Artists at the peak of Source Energy User level. For a minor level-one civilization, this was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Are there signs of any other civilizations interfering?"

"Report, Captain, there were no signs discovered. We only received a distress signal from our civilization's battleship back then, and before our departure, we warned the Dominator of the Galaxy not to intervene."

"Good," Licum nodded in satisfaction. Without any accidents, this planet and the valuable Sage Crystals would belong entirely to their family.

"How did humans on Earth respond?"

"Report, Captain, humans on Earth seemingly had no intention of surrendering. They had mobilized their forces, led by a nation called Huaxia, planning to fight us with all they had."

"Fools," the image of Earth's military equipment appeared on their tactical table, "They would soon learn what a level-three civilization meant."

"However, Captain, this Huaxia nation was rather peculiar; officially, they had only a few hundred Source Energy Users. But secretly, there were over a thousand, and these Source Energy Users existed before Earth's rapid technological development, all controlled by a single family. Yet, we've been unable to find any information on this family!"

"Perhaps a family in that nation once found something left by other civilizations," Licum said, though inexplicably uneasy.

"Since they didn't intend to surrender, we had no choice but to use force." Licum instructed, "Give them a warning first!"

...

Although a massive fleet had arrived near Earth, the ordinary residents remained unaware, living their peaceful lives as usual.

"Ugh, with the director missing for a year, life's significantly less fun!"

"True, who knows where the director went. I think those online rumors are nonsense!"

On Fang Jueyu's online forum, the discussion among netizens was still heated.

But suddenly, all devices like phones, network-connected TVs, and computers went dark.

"What happened? A virus?"

While they were confused, a man in silver armor suddenly appeared on the screen, "Greetings, Earthlings!"

"What the hell? Did someone hack my computer?"

"How is this possible? They could hack the internet but not the TV stations, right?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Licum, from the Joraike Family of the Leo Civilization, 434 million light-years from Earth. We came here to lead you toward development, so trust in our good intentions!"

The image shifted, and enormous Cosmic Battleships appeared on the screen.

"Whoosh!" A red beam shot from a spaceship and struck directly on the Sahara Desert in Africa. Instantly, a massive mushroom cloud bloomed in the desert.

The beam cannon turned one-third of the central Sahara into charred soil.

"This is just a small demonstration of the technology and power you can't imagine. So, we hope humanity would cooperate with us."

"However, hours ago, we sent a friendly outreach request to humanity, but you were ungrateful, even secretly mobilizing forces to reject our goodwill!"

"Indeed, we are messengers of hope and friendship. In ten minutes, we hope to meet your highest leader in a place called Jiangnan City in Huaxia. We know he is there right now."

"If we can't see your friendship in an hour, I'm afraid we will have to take our measures. We hope you make the right choice!"

"What... just happened?" All humans who saw this scene were dumbfounded.

"Uh... was that an alien?"

"Am I dreaming? What the heck is happening?"

"Can someone debunk this already? Tell me it's all fake?"

"Remember Liu Guang, the professor accused of academic dishonesty a few years ago?"

"It's true! Professor Liu Guang's research was real; he wasn't lying and didn't compromise academic integrity!"

At this moment, the apologies to Professor Liu Guang finally arrived, yet, what was its meaning at this point?
