As the others eagerly departed, Lin Zhan turned to Da Yu beside him and said, "Ancestor, after the Lizardmen army has assembled, please seal the void and prevent the scouting from the ten thousand races. Our missiles must not be revealed to them yet."
Da Yu nodded and said, "Leave this to me, I guarantee no mistakes. Shang Tang and Di Xin will also be here soon, and then we can make our move."
Lin Zhan nodded and said to the young Taoist priest beside him, "Same as usual, Xiao Ming, you stay honestly in the command center. If the situation turns bad, I'll send you away immediately."
"Go? Go where? Nowhere. Just let this little fatty stay here. Making such a fuss over a mere Lizardman is really giving them too much importance."
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, Shang Tang and Di Xin emerged from the void, carrying a huge coffin. The voice was coming from the coffin.
"What the heck, they actually brought the ancestor's coffin here. If we can handle this matter, why bother the ancestors?"
Lin Zhan stared blankly at the actions of these two ancestral figures before him.
Lin Zhan walked to the side of the giant coffin, circling it and tapping the lid with his fingers.
He saw the inscription on the coffin lid: Shang Wang Shang Jia Wei.
"Kid, what are you tapping for? Do you think you're picking watermelons?" a majestic voice boomed from inside the coffin.
"Holy crap, Ancestor, you're not dead...呸, I mean, Ancestor, you're alive again... Hmm, that's not right either. Ancestor, when did you awaken? Yes, that's it."
Lin Zhan became a little incoherent with excitement upon hearing the voice from the coffin.
"Ancestor, you have no idea. I'm so excited to see you. Once you're out, who will dare bully me? After I'm done with the Lizardmen, I'll immediately take my brothers to 'touch porcelain' with the ten thousand races. If they don't give me billions, no one will be able to get away with it."
As Lin Zhan spoke, the whole place fell silent. "Damn, what kind of character is this kid? So, you were hoping your ancestor would come out just to have a backing when you go 'touch porcelain'?"
Shang Jia Wei, inside the coffin, heard this and burst into laughter, saying happily to Shang Tang, "Zi Tang, the revival of our Great Shang is promising! Look at Zhan'er, such a young child already knows how to make money. He'll surely be a master of business in the future."
He then turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Kid, with your ancestor as such a great backing, you plan to just 'touch porcelain'? Isn't that business a bit small?"
Lin Zhan's eyes lit up instantly, and he secretly thought, "Damn, this ancestor understands things."
He quickly said, "How could that be? Ancestor, you don't know our business scope is extremely comprehensive. Monopolistic dumping, smashing workshops and sabotaging production lines, extortion and kidnapping, forced buying and selling, smuggling and counterfeiting, collecting protection fees, loan sharking – we are proficient in all of them."
Then he turned to Zhang Haoming and said, "Brother-in-law, are there any other businesses? Introduce them to the Ancestor."
The young Taoist priest immediately took out a ledger nearly half a meter thick from his storage space and said respectfully to the coffin, "Ancestor, we also engage in selling information. Of course, more than half of this information is fake news spread by my elder brother and me. We also hire assassins, and establish black markets. Not to brag, but eighty percent of the black markets on the home planet now were established by us."
"I'm currently planning to start a new business, which is buying and selling human organs from the ten thousand races. For example, if someone lacks a tooth for refining artifacts, or needs skin for forging armor, we can appropriately buy and sell some."
"Moreover, we have already formed several hunting teams, all composed of Diamond-level experts. Not to mention, the most powerful human armies are in our hands. Don't we have whatever we want?"
Shang Jia Wei became even more delighted upon hearing this and shouted loudly, "Good, good, good. You children are all outstanding. Our Great Shang has successors! Children, work hard. When we ancestors awaken, we'll go to the ten thousand races and kidnap Emperors!"
"Oh my god, that would be fantastic! Ancestor, I've heard about it for a long time. Those old scoundrels are very rich, and I've wanted to pull a fast one on them for ages. I was just afraid we didn't have the muscle to take them down. Now that the ancestors have revived, we can directly go after those old scoundrels whenever we see them!"
Lin Zhan jumped up with joy upon hearing Shang Jia Wei's words. In his excitement, he even let slip the native tongue of Da Zhuang.
The young Taoist priest quickly tugged at Lin Zhan's sleeve and said, "Brother, keep a low profile, keep a low profile. There are people watching here. The more people know, the more they'll want a share. Also, your language is getting mixed up."
Da Yu, sitting on the side, shook his head with a wry smile, walking out as he muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over. This is really over. Why would the ancestors have such bad luck to release these bandits early? The reputation of our Huaxia is ruined this time."
Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest looked curiously at Da Yu's actions and asked with a hint of doubt, "What does Ancestor Da Yu mean by that?"
Shang Jia Wei, from inside the coffin, casually said, "This old guy is acting up again. Don't underestimate him. He and Ancestor Hou Yi were top-tier powerhouses in ancient times, both at the Emperor realm. Later, they were severely injured in an ancient war."
"At that time, our human race had no experts to guard it. These two old guys each sent out a Human Emperor clone to defend the human race, while their main bodies remained in the Classic of Mountains and Seas for recuperation. Unfortunately, these two clones were also unlucky. As soon as they came out, they were cornered by more than twenty Emperors from the ten thousand races. Later, after discussion, they brought out Zi Xin to guard the house."
Lin Zhan was stunned. "Holy crap, there are still secrets I don't know."
"Alas, it's not that the ancestors lacked strength, it's just that they lacked luck. The ideas of these two ancestors are truly something. If they had the luck of those two ancestors from the Great Han, perhaps we wouldn't even need to fight the war of ten thousand races now."
The five Iron-Eating Beasts sitting nearby watched Da Yu walk away, then looked at Lin Zhan and Shang Jia Wei, their small eyes flashing with intelligent light.
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, did you hear that? Great Shang is planning to start a new venture and do something big. Should we brothers also go and join in?" Tie Lao Liu said shrewdly to the other pandas.
Tie Lao Si thought for a moment, then walked towards Lin Zhan and Shang Jia Wei and said, "Brothers, when your Great Shang starts its venture, bring us along. Don't worry, we brothers are good at dealing with the wealthy, we won't be picky."
Lin Zhan's eyes darted, and he quickly said to Shang Jia Wei, "Ancestor, I think it's a good idea. Brother Si and his siblings are all capable, they'll definitely be a great help."
Shang Tang and Di Xin, standing beside them, were completely bewildered by these two and five bears. "Brothers? What brothers? How are the generations being calculated? It's a bit confusing."
