System: Replicating The Heavens

"There are still 24 hours left, let's see if Eloise can answer the remaining three riddles or not!"

Alex muttered and decided to wait. He had no intention of answering the riddles. Although he knows what the legacy of Earth King means, his instinct was telling him that there is something else here that he needed to get in order to complete the First Trial he was in.

This feeling appeared in his heart the moment he passed the first stage where he needed to fight the Bronze Giant and arrived at this place. This feeling was extremely strong. Because of this, after solving the riddles, he ignored them and decided to search for whatever it was which can help him complete the First Trial.

That way, he can once again return to his own body.

Knowing that he was living life inside another man's body made him have an uncomfortable feeling.

To Alex, looking for the clue to end the First Trial was much more important than obtaining the legacy of Earth King, a Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior.

He even thought that it would have been good if he had stayed in the Floating Cloud Academy, attracted the attention of all the people, and obtain a lot of Energy Point, duplicating the treasures of others, and using them for his own gain. This way, his strength would have increased by leaps and bounds.

Who knows, how much stronger he would have become till now.

A dog must have bitten him that he decided to accept the invitation of Neon.

Well, looking at it from a different angle, if he had not accepted the invitation of Neon and come to this abyss, he wouldn't have gotten hold of an extremely important clue of his own origin, that he might belong to another Universe and there is a past life of his that he didn't remember. Also, those 10% Sealed Memories in his attribute panel must have belonged to his past life. As long as he could unseal them, he might remember who he really is and why he has reincarnated.

Also, if he had not come to the abyss, he wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to know Atticus Finch, the strongest one in the entire universe, much less get the opportunity to become his disciple.

Alex kept searching for the clue but he failed to get any. He could only sigh as he saw that there is not much time left. There were only 2 hours left now before everyone except for Eloise will get kicked out.

Other than Eloise, everyone has already given up. They knew they have no chance of answering the riddles, so they didn't waste their time anymore on solving the riddles. Instead, they just sat down in front of the stone monument.

At this moment, Eloise once again intended to answer. She said, "Senior, I'll answer another riddle. As for the last two riddles, I failed to answer them. I failed to solve them."

The middle-aged man nodded his head with a smile: "At least you could answer another one. As for others, they can't even answer a single riddle, let alone solve all of them. It's ok, answer the riddle you have solved!"

Eloise smiled and said, "If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I."

"Actually, the answer to this riddle is very simple. As long as one thought deeply about it, they'll be able to think it through. After all, the answer to this riddle is something that almost everyone 'has'."

This confused people. They were attracted by Eloise when they come to know that she was going to answer another riddle. Now, she is telling that the answer to this riddle is something that almost everyone has. What exactly is the answer to this riddle?

Cultivation?

No, it can't be. Who would want to share their cultivation or any cultivation-related things with others?

Lover?

Ah, no! There are many psychos in this world who likes it when their lover makes with other people in front of them. And even after that, they stay with their love for life. There are also many people who'll sell out their lovers just for their own gains.

Anyway, Love and Lover can't be the answer.

What can be the answer?

Everyone started thinking different answers according to their thinking capacity. But none of them managed to think of the correct answer.

Alex, on the other hand, was smiling when he saw their constantly-changing faces. He knew very well why Eloise said that, but didn't say anything.

But there was still someone who can't hold back and snorted coldly, "Just say it already. Does the disciple of Mystical Peak have to answer in a fence? Can't you just answer it directly?"

It was Aaban. he already has formed a grudge against all the disciples of Mystical Peak, so it doesn't matter to him if he were mock a Golden Core Stage little girl.

Eloise looked at him indifferently, shifted her gaze at the middle-aged man, and said, "The answer to this riddle is 'Secret'. If a person has secrets, he or she wants to share them. But if he or she really did share the secret, the secret will no longer be a secret and will become known to someone or everyone. This way, that person will lose his or her secret."

Hearing the answer, everyone was convinced. When they thought about it, they found the answer correct. It was just that they didn't dare to confirm if the answer is correct or not. They all looked at the middle-aged man who in return replied, "The answer to this riddle is also correct. Good job little girl. There are still two hours left. If you can, you should try to find the answer to at least another riddle. If you really managed to do so, not only will you receive two-thirds of the Earth King's Legacy, I'll also give you something that'll help you in your path of greatness in the future!"

Eloise nodded in excitement and darted her look at the stone monument, only to suddenly lost her enthusiasm. She was able to solve the third riddle in just one hour, and as for the other two riddles, even after spending 21 hours, she was unable to think of an answer. This caused her mood to go down.

The middle-aged man sighed when he saw this. He also knew how difficult it is to answer these riddles for people who spent all their lives cultivating and fighting. This world is the world of cultivation where the strong preys on the weak ones. Almost all the cultivators try their best to increase their strength and cultivation in all ways possible. They don't like to spend their time on so-called meaningless things for them such as gaining solving riddles, thinking of unique ways to do something, and many other such things.

The six people at the scene were also a few of those people. It is already very good for Eloise to be able to answer three of the riddles. This alone is enough to prove her worth.

The middle-aged man just didn't know why the Earth King set up the riddles as his final quest for others to pass. As long as anyone can complete this quest, they can inherit the legacy of Earth King.

But he also knew Earth King very well. Earth King's ways of thinking and doing things were completely different from others. He must have his own reasons for setting up a test like this. He also knew it is not his position to question the Earth King's decision.

Everyone had already given up. Even Eloise, who answered three of the riddles gave up at this moment. She knew answering the remaining two riddles are not her cup of tea. Of course, if someone can help her, she might be able to come up with an answer. But no one was able to answer a single riddle, it is out of the question for them to help her solve the remaining two riddles.

At this time, she saw Alex coming toward her.

Alex arrived in front of Eloise and said in low voice, "I know the answer to the remaining two riddles. Do you want to hear the answer?"

"What?"

Eloise was shocked. She couldn't believe what Alex just said. Then she looked at him suspiciously.

It has to be known that Alex (original owner) has a bad reputation in the Mystical Peak. Now that he was telling her that he knows the answer and does she want to hear it, anyone would become suspicious of him.

They'll think, 'if Alex really knows the answer, why is he not answering the riddles to the middle-aged man, fighting for a great chance that is right in front of him?'

Who wouldn't want to inherit the legacy of Earth King? Is there any reason for a person to not receive this legacy?

This is what Eloise was thinking right now. She didn't believe Alex at all. On the other hand, she thought that Alex might want to make her lose face in front of everyone. Thinking of Alex's previous impression she has, she felt Alex really can do this.
