The Legacy System

The most important part of all this for him was to make sure that he took control of this place and use it for his own benefit.

More than the manuals, techniques, and treasures of this place, what Eric deemed the most important was the space of this, and the structure of this Nightless Stone City.

While all those things were certainly important to him, and for his future, the necessity of having a secret base to train and grow his corps was definitely the most pressing issue.

It wasn\'t that he hadn\'t thought of using the outside world for tempering and training his forces, as he had already set up a few small training camps.

But they were still only the kindergarten structures for him, and he couldn\'t use them to train his forces behind a point.

Furthermore, he couldn\'t be relaxed after giving them high-level manuals and techniques, as that would be more like giving them troubles rather than opportunities.

Last but not least, since those guys would be too far away from him, he wouldn\'t be able to control them and test them as he should, and he might be just trying to raise a snake in his bosom.

A lot of people knew about the story of the old man who tried such a thing and his end.. Eric knew it too, so he would never try something as stupid as that.

While he would always be stronger than the snake, it would certainly be bothersome to deal with it. Furthermore, one never knew how when that snake would bring bigger snakes to the table.

So, there was no way that Eric would allow something like that to happen, for that reason he needed a secret base that not only would be close to him but also unable to be found by other forces and organizations.

Right now, even though the whole Earth didn\'t put him in his eyes, he could be considered as an enemy to the interests of all the Earth organization\'s interests.

There was no old sage that would accept his title being taken over by some new blood that didn\'t put him in his eyes.

Similarly, there would be no organization on Earth that would accept Eric\'s growth and increase in strength without saying anything.

Might makes right!

That was the only truth of this world, as long as one had the strength to back up himself and his word, then he had the right to speak.

But if one didn\'t have that strength, then his words were nothing more than useless noise. Eric understood this truth perfectly, as someone who was living through his second life.

For that reason, he needed to build up his strength! No matter how strong he was alone, he wouldn\'t be able to face the whole world, so he needed subordinates.

Capable and strong subordinates that would follow his orders and instructions. He had already made the selection of the first batch consisting of 100 people.

That was just the first batch, as the truth was that he wanted to have at least a 10.000 able force under his rule before S-day stroke.

Until now that plan had only been a dream for him, as he was afraid of attracting attention, but with the size of this Nightless Stone City, his biggest concern had been lifted up.

He dared to swear that this place was so hidden that not even the famous satellites of the biggest organizations wouldn\'t be able to discover it.

Those concealing formations at the door were extremely effective, not to mention that it was impossible for normal people to pass through the dark tunnel.

With these thoughts in mind, he decided to fight with the Realm 2 Puppet later, as right now he had something much more important to care about.

He wanted to have a good look around this Nightless Stone City, just what had those people left behind in this place, as this place belonged to him from now on.

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly got up and went towards the highest part of the Nightless Stone City.

In fact, its name seemed extremely ironic as everything was covered in darkness in this place seemingly being night all the time, but he didn\'t care about that at the moment.

Even though Nightless Stone City didn\'t seem to be really big, as the buildings seemed to be stuck close to one another, Eric found out that that perception couldn\'t be any less wrong.

Not only was Nightless Stone City big, but it was bigger than he had ever imagined. It was like the capital of a small country.

The closest approximation he had when he reached the City Lord Mansion, was that this place had a capacity of at least 5 million people.

Which was many times more than what he had previously thought it would be. In fact, at the start, he thought that it would be great if it accommodated 50.000 people.

This place had surpassed his expectation by more than 100 times, and that didn\'t include the training arenas, the commercial streets, and many other facilities.

Seeing all of this with his own eyes, made Eric roar in laughter of satisfaction and happiness, as the moment that he reached the City Lord Mansion he couldn\'t help but feel expectant.

Most of the rooms in the City Lord Mansion were covered by dust, and most of the utensils, and appliances had either rotten or become completely useless.

But Eric didn\'t care about it, what he cared about was the warehouse of this place, and the materials left behind by those people.

It didn\'t take him long to find them either, as they were found under the main building of the City Lord Mansion as there were 10 big rooms under there.

Looking at those rooms Tianlong Yun couldn\'t help but feel his heart being close to exploding in happiness, as he was thrilled to know what was behind those doors.

He had to take more than a few deep breaths to finally calm himself down, and then open the first door, only to have his eyes almost blinded by the silver light.

The room was more than 100 meters square in surface, and it was fully filled with Silver. Shiny Silver bars that would make even the richest man on Earth feel like he was extremely poor.

The gold bars were neatly placed alongside each other forming a small mountain of more than 7 meters high, making Eric almost experience a heart attack.

Even though he had gained control of this place, and could use it, Eric still felt that it would require a large amount of wealth to gather resources for the small army he wanted to have.

But now all those concerns had flown off the window, as he felt that these silver bars would be an extremely good start for him.

He didn\'t have the heart, or the peace of mind to understand how much gold was in there, so he quickly got out of the first room, and immediately made way for the second.

The second room was almost the same as the first, with the same surface area, and structure, with the only difference being the color of the blinding light and the height of the small mountain in front of him.

This room didn\'t contain Silver bars, but Gold Bars. Even though the height of the small mountain in front of him was only around 3 meters, he could tell that its value was much more than the first room.

He had never seen so much gold in both of his lives, even in the previous life, while he was an Emperor, the truth was that his \'Empire\' was weak and small.

Right now, he could fully believe that he had been just a slightly bigger ant than the rest. But he didn\'t have any intention of thinking about that.

As he got out of the second room and immediately made a run for the third. The same structure as the previous two, but this time there was no silver nor gold, just a small chest of around 1-meter cube volume.

He didn\'t know what this thing was, or what was inside of it, but he still walked forward to look at what was there inside it, only to almost experience a heart attack.

Even though he was extremely strong, had an extremely healthy body, and had already evolved once, he still couldn\'t stop himself from having a feeling of a heart attack from extreme joy.

The small chest in front of him wasn\'t full, only about half-filled, but its value was clearly much higher than the first two rooms.

That for the only and simple reason for the materials inside, as it was filled with diamonds. Beautiful, clear, cut and uncut diamonds that would pile up until half of its height.

It was only at that moment that Eric understood the meaning of crazy rich! He was now so rich that he could make even ghosts and spirits envious of his wealth.

And that was only with the first three rooms opened, but there were still 7 more rooms that were still waiting for him to open, and he couldn\'t wait to see what was inside them.

But at that moment he understood something extremely important, his heart was extremely moved, and his conscience was getting unstable.

He felt like a sharp sword, that was made to cut through life and wash in blood, slowly getting rusty of not being used.

That was extremely dangerous for him, as that would slowly make him unable to proceed forward. Even though the wealth in front of him seemed like a dream come true, it was nothing in front of his goal.

With those thoughts in his mind, he immediately sat down in lotus position, and tried his best to relax his mind, and use his Cultivation Art to cultivate…
