System: Replicating The Heavens
Chapter 74 Ch 74: Inheriting The Legacy

Eloise had answered all the riddles on the stone monument. With this, she was now qualified to inherit the legacy of Earth King.

Just as the middle-aged man wanted to announce that Eloise had answered and she'll stay here while others will go out, he froze at his spot for a few moments and muttered "I understand, Lord Earth King" in a low voice that only he could hear.

Then he looked at Alex with a surprised expression on his face and said, "You two, follow me."

Without waiting for Alex and Eloise to reply, the middle-aged man grabbed both of them and disappeared in front 0of everyone in an instant.

As for others, they also disappeared the next moment and found themselves standing out of Earth King's Temple. They looked at their surroundings in surprise and knew that it was time for them to return. They didn't get anything on this trip. Eloise became the final winner.

As for why the middle-aged man brought Alex with him, no one knew and everyone had some suspicions about this matter, however, they could do nothing. They don't have the power to do anything.

Some of them even tried to enter the Earth King's Temple once again but failed. There seems to be some kind of barrier blocking their advancement.

.....

Eloise and Alex's vision changed once more as they found themselves standing in a hall filled which was giving off an ancient aura. The middle-aged man was standing in front of them, staring at them with bright eyes.

The middle-aged man then smiled faintly, only focused on Eloise, and said, "You have a secret that I can't see through."

Eloise immediately became alert in her heart after hearing the words of the middle-aged man and said with a dry smile on her face, "How can there be a secret that senior can't see through on this junior? Senior must be joking."

"Hehehe, it's good to have secrets. I like people with secrets the most. This kind of person can live for a long time. Inheriting the Legacy of Earth King can help you greatly in your future cultivation path, however, your secret will decide your survival at a critical moment. It is not bad to have a secret. What famous person doesn't have a secret?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly. It seemed like he didn't intend to explore the secrets on Eloise's body. This made Eloise heave a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Alex, who has already suspected Eloise to have a secret, frowned slightly before his expression eased up. He knew it is not his place to ask Eloise what her secret is.

"Since you have been chosen as the Earth King's successor, there are some things that I should tell you. Let's start with my introduction. I am a servant of Earth King. My name is Ludvig Karlsson. If you want to accept the Earth King's inheritance, you must become a Martial King and return here. Are you willing?"

Ludvig Karlsson looked into Eloise's eyes and asked seriously.

Eloise thought for a moment then nodded and said, "Senior, I am willing."

"Alright!"

Ludvig Karlsson nodded his head in satisfaction. Then he took a step forward and pressed Eloise's head with his hand.

Before Eloise could react, a memory rushed into her mind. Suddenly, she felt an intense pain in her head, as if it was going to explode.

This kind of pain lasted for the time it took to make a cup of tea. In the end, Eloise was completely exhausted. If it wasn't for the continuous flow of spirit energy in her body because of her unique cultivation technique, she might not have been able to stand in front of Ludvig Karlsson right now. She was afraid that she would have fainted long ago.

Ludvig Karlsson's figure faded a little. Although blurry, he still looked like a human before, and now his figure become more translucent.

Eloise's eyes were tightly closed. She was digesting the memories that Ludvig Karlsson had given her. There was the history of some major events that had happened with Earth King, a cultivation technique and a martial skill, and the technique on how to control the Earth King's Temple.

The cultivation technique was called Earth King's Spell. It was an Emperor Rank Supreme cultivation technique. According to the memories, if she could cultivate the Earth King's Spell to the highest level, every movement she would make will carry a tremendous force, and even the body of a Dragon couldn't resist her strength.

"Alright, I don't have much time left in this world. You can stay here and cultivate for the rest of your time. If you have any questions about the Earth King's Spell, you can ask me while I can still answer."

Ludvig Karlsson said indifferently.

Eloise slowly opened her eyes and greeted Ludvig Karlsson respectfully, "Thank you, Sir Ludvig Karlsson."

Ludvig Karlsson nodded with relief and said, "From today onwards, you can be considered a named disciple of Earth King. There are many rumors about Earth King outside, but let me tell you, Earth King is not dead. He is a great being and it is impossible for him to die. He had ascended to a higher leveled world and left this world a long time ago. Because of his sudden disappearance, people started thinking that the renowned Earth King has died."

"Before Earth King went to a higher leveled world, he built the Earth King's Ancient Land where he hide his legacy. But this legacy is not the complete legacy. Instead, it is just a tiny part of his true legacy. The legacy you received just now can help you become an Emperor."

"It is not the legacy of just some Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior, instead, the Legacy you received is the Legacy of a True Emperor."

Eloise was shocked when she heard this and then she revealed a gratified smile on her face.

On the other hand, Alex's face changed color as he smiled with regret. If he had known this, he would have answered all the riddles before Eloise could even get the chance.

Although he was confident he could rise in power and will get many opportunities to duplicate treasures from a true Emperor, it'll still take him a long time before he'll come in contact with an Emperor.

He sighed and laughed bitterly in his heart.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally looked at Alex and said, "As for you, come with me!"

Just like before, without waiting for Alex's reply, the middle-aged man grabbed Alex's arm and disappeared, leaving Eloise alone.

Eloise has already received the Legacy of an Emperor. The cultivation technique she received was an Emperor Rank cultivation technique and the same goes for the martial arts skill.

The martial arts skill she received is divided into nine forms. It was a sword art and each form is much stronger than the previous one. The requirement to cultivate all seven forms of this martial arts skill was very high.

Fortunately, Eloise's own talent is not low at all. She believed she could cultivate this martial arts skill.

The cultivation technique Earth King's Spell that she got also has a mysterious effect. After cultivating this technique to the peak, a martial warrior can move freely on Earth. If a martial warrior wants, he or she can even directly teleport to hundreds of kilometers away in an instant, and the medium will be the ground.

So, not only was it a great cultivation technique, but it was also a great escape technique. No one can catch her as long as she could cultivate this technique to the peak.

And then, there was also the technique to control the Earth King's Temple. It turned out that the Earth King's Temple itself is an Emperor Rank Treasure. It can change size according to its master's wishes. Not only this, but this is also a great attack-type weapon as well as a defense-type weapon.

As long as she could refine the Earth King's Temple, she'll become the next owner.

.....

The middle-aged man brought Alex to a secretive room inside the Earth King's Temple.

After entering the room, Alex saw a throne in the middle. The middle-aged man pushed the throne to the right side and the wall on the left side opened in opposite direction, revealing a narrow pathway.

The middle-aged man stepped forward after signaling Alex. Alex nodded his head and followed behind the middle-aged man without saying anything.

Following the narrow pathway, both of them soon arrived at a secret garden. There were many trees, flowers, and beautiful small creatures in this garden.

There was a lake at a distance and inside the lake were swimming many Golden Carps of different sizes, radiating resplendent under some sort of mysterious light falling down from the sky.

This light was not the sun light, but an extremely similar one.

Beside the lake, a man in his early thirties was laying down on the ground with his eyes closed, enjoying the soft blow of wind.
