"What's got you laughing like that?" Lu Yiyao, dressed in a bathrobe, took a seat next to Zhang nglong.
"Mua, so delicious," Zhang nglong unabashedly planted a kiss on her face, "Do you know about the recent archaeological discovery in Qingqiu Country?"
"I've heard so," Lu Yiyao nodded, "It's said that this ancient civilization is at least over 5000 years old, even older than the ancient Babylonia. It's hard to believe there was an even earlier civilization in the world."
"But those Qingqiu people really have a knack for claiming glory," Lu Yiyao couldn't help but mock, "I rember their ancestors were just a nomadic tribe over two thousand years ago, right? They were even captured and enslaved, and now that they've luckily found a good place and established a country, they start trying to expand their ager history."
"Hahaha, no kidding!" laughed Zhang nglong.
"But honestly, this ancient country does have so skills. If I rember correctly, even our Huaxia didn't master the technology to make gold artifacts until a dozen centuries before AD, right?"
Lu Yiyao took out a tablet and opened the photo that had already gone viral on Weibo.
The photo had sparked endless debates among netizens. After verification by dozens of archaeologists and scientists from various countries, a fairly accurate age was confird; it was crafted approximately 5600 to 5800 years ago.
The gold totem stood at about 5.72 ters with a maximum thickness of 51 centiters, weighing several tons. Judging by so of the samples, its gold purity was 99.98%!
Such craftsmanship was simply incredible for that era.
At least according to human current understanding, no other civilization at that ti could surpass that marvelous nation.
"This has to be the greatest archaeological discovery of the century!"
"Damn, such a thing was actually discovered within the territory of Qingqiu Country; it's like the heavens are blind."
"Tsk tsk tsk, they're at it again. Alright, alright, it's all yours; the whole universe is yours!"
"This emblem must be a symbol of their nation, right? The design is quite impressive."
"But there's no helping it, they were lucky that it was found on their land. It seems that ultimately, the civilization will be attributed to Qingqiu Country."
"The four great ancient civilizations are about to beco five, this is really screwed up!"
...
"nglong, why do I feel like I've seen this thing sowhere before," Lu Yiyao suddenly thought of sothing, "I feel like I've seen this emblem before?"
"There!" Zhang nglong nodded toward a wall nearby, "Isn't that emblem on the wall?"
Sure enough, dangling on the wall was a purple totem that, at a cursory glance, appeared nearly identical in shape to that in the photograph; however, upon closer examination, one could still spot so slight differences.
"Yes, that's it!" Lu Yiyao stood up excitedly, "I rember this is your family's clan emblem, isn't it? It's practically identical. Could it be that your family descends from that kingdom's royal family?"
Lu Yiyao, though in her twenties, still had as imaginative a mind as a little girl.
A 5000-year-old kingdom—if it had not been utterly destroyed and had developed to the present day, would probably be an enormous family or a major power, right?
I got it! Now I understand everything!
Zhang nglong could very well be the descendant of that kingdom from 5000 years ago, possibly even of the royal family. That kingdom had been proliferating all along, leaving its mark all over the world, and by now, it had turned into a behemoth that spanned the entire globe!
```
You should know that anything with a history of thousands of years, even a spittoon, can be invaluable; if the preparations started 5000 years ago, wealth and land would be at one's fingertips!
In that era, what was considered worthless has now all turned into the fortunes of Zhang nglong!
No wonder his enterprises span the globe, no wonder so many colossal countries and families around the world bow down to him; in these 5000 years, his family must have conquered them all!
"What are you thinking about!" Zhang nglong poked Lu Yiyao's head, "You're daydreaming; you might as well write a novel with all these twists and turns. I am not a descendent of any ancient kingdom's royal family!"
"Then what exactly is going on?"
"Take a closer look," Zhang nglong said as he took a purple totem directly off one of his garnts, "do you see a difference?"
"His is gold, yours is purple!"
"Look more closely!"
"Hm? The sun-shaped pattern on your totem seems to have more jagged edges, and the people depicted on it seem to be dressed differently, your totem is much more exquisite and luxurious!"
The entire pattern is roughly in the shape of the sun, surrounded by a ring of light with a hamr and knife at the top, and the sun's body is carved with a very complex relief. Upon careful examination, there are indeed quite a few differences between the two patterns.
"But you're right about one thing, it's not a coincidence; our family does have so connections to this country!" Zhang nglong said, "It involves so history of our family, I don't think I've ever gone into the details of our family's history with you, have I?"
"What, Mr. Zhang, you're interested in telling
about it today?" Lu Yiyao had always been very curious about the history of Zhang nglong's family, but so far, Zhang nglong had only revealed the tip of the iceberg to her.
Zhang nglong wrapped his arms around Lu Yiyao, "You've been mine for a long ti, and you'll eventually be the mistress of the Zhang Family. Indeed, I've been late in telling you so things, but our family's history is so extensive, I haven't even rembered it all myself; let Hong Yi explain to you instead."
"Hong Yi, co here, bring a ppt!"
As the largest affiliated family of the Zhang Family in Huaxia, every direct descendant of the Hong Family learns, from birth, not about astronomy, geography, music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but the history of the Zhang Family; they must know the origins of this imnse family by heart.
Soon, Hong Yi arrived with a computer connected to a television, and she actually had a ppt presentation prepared!
As the saying goes, Huaxia has a history of five thousand years, and the rise of the Zhang Family also began five thousand years ago. Specifically, Zhang nglong's ancestors received the Super God Academy in 3915 BC, which is more than 5900 years ago, nearly 6000 years to be exact!
With the miraculous aspects of the Super God Academy, his ancestors quickly broke through the limitations of human genetics, significantly developing their brain domains and achieving a physical condition far beyond ordinary humans. In the lands of Huaxia, they established the earliest city-states.
Being strong and wealthy, no tribes dared to contend with them at that ti, and the Zhang Family ca to possess a vast amount of land and slaves.
To announce their supre status, that ancestor of Zhang nglong created such a family crest.
The colors of the clan emblem were purple, red, and gold. The purple was reserved for the direct descendants of the Zhang Family, entitled to wear this color of the crest. The red was for the confidants of the Zhang family and other affiliated families, tribes, and so on. As for the gold, though it looked quite noble, it was actually the lowest grade among these three colors.
The gold represented the slaves and servants of the Zhang Family!
As the Zhang Family grew ever stronger, many of the once subsidiary forces and tribes gradually dispersed to expand the family's territory. So vanished into the streams of ti, losing to nature and disease without the protection of the Zhang Family.
But there were also lucky ones; they learned various skills from the direct descendants of the Zhang family, such as farming, tallurgy, or other special abilities. With these skills, they established their own civilizations.
Judging by this golden emblem, the country was actually established by the slaves of Zhang nglong's family over 5000 years ago!
