After waking up again, the surroundings were still dark.
Priest, who had just woken up, subconsciously wanted to observe his surroundings to see what was going on... But soon, he discovered that he could only vaguely see whether there was light in front of him, and he seemed to have no limbs, only a few. A flagellum that was not very controlled was waving instinctively, leading itself forward.
I... actually turned into a 'cell'? !
After all, he is also an elite. Priest soon discovered that his current body is very similar to the appearance of the cells he set before... No, it is better to say that they are exactly the same. He has simply turned into the cells he set. !
And in his brief confusion, a memory that seemed to have been stored in his heart for a long time appeared.
['Elemental Cell Body', you are the most ordinary member of countless primitive single-cell organisms in the primitive ocean of life. Now you have nothing but the most basic survival system. In order to survive, you must pass on your genes to future generations. , you decided to seize the powerful genetic components of other cells and arm yourself as the most powerful one in this primitive ocean of life.]
[But remember, compared to 'becoming stronger', the most fundamental purpose of life is 'survival'. 'Elemental Cell Body', how far can your path go? Can you overcome the harsh environment of the primitive sea, survive successfully, and let your descendants thrive?]
What followed was a large amount of rule information. After absorbing and reading these memories, Priest quickly understood how the game should be played.
- The game "Conflict Continent" is divided into five stages. The first stage is the cell stage called "Spore". He needs to control a single cell to find food and plunder genetic components in the dark primitive sea of life. Stop getting stronger. After growing to a certain level, the 'spore' stage opportunity ends and enters the next stage called 'biological'.
Priest doesn't know what the next stage is, but the gameplay in the spore stage is very simple. You simply control a cell, look for 'food' to make yourself stronger, and then attack other cells to obtain genes. Arm yourself with parts, and then attack other more powerful cells to get more powerful genetic parts... Each genetic part can bring a variety of different abilities, and genetic parts with mild talents can get bonuses. , has greater power.
"Hey, that's interesting!"
Although Priest feels that this gameplay has nothing to do with the "Conflict Continent" and that the name is completely a cover fraud, but even so, because people in Mycroft's world originally lacked entertainment methods, he is still in high spirits now. Some can't wait to 'hunt' other cells to make their own cells stronger.
To put it bluntly, isn't this just like hunting? This is not an unfamiliar word to Priest, whose hometown is in the fortress group in the southern part of the empire. It is not difficult for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat shrimps.
The memory dissipated and the game officially started. Priest knew that with the 64 times mental acceleration supported by his gold-level strength, the one hour he spent playing the game was only less than one minute in the outside world. He had plenty of time to try.
The dark primitive sea is warm and full of undercurrents. A large amount of high-heat mineral liquid spurted out from the depths of the earth's core reacted in large quantities in the hot solution, creating a large number of white organic matter particles, and countless bizarre single-celled organisms emerged. Drift and evolve in this sea full of food.
Priest excitedly controlled his cell body and swam in the dark sea. After he swallowed a few white particles floating in the seawater - the so-called 'organic food', he grew bigger. Priest's less developed photoreceptor in the circle noticed that there were actually several cells holding 'special genetic components' inhabiting a rock crevice in front of him.
The silver menu showed that those cells actually held the 'advanced photosensitive parts' that Priest most wanted to obtain. This pair of Priest, who suffered from vision constraints, did not even know that food was passing by in front of his eyes. There is no doubt that they are necessary components - but it is not easy to obtain these components. Because the sensing components are more developed than Priest, the few cells hiding in the cracks of the rock have already detected Priest. They are very cautious when Priest comes, and it seems that they will run away as soon as Priest comes near.
Because the number and level of flagella were almost the same, the speeds of both sides were almost the same. As long as he wanted to escape, Priest would never be able to catch up with him even if he was a few sizes older than his opponent.
And just when Priest was planning a sneak attack in the dark sea to plunder a few rare genetic components.
—Deep in the central magic network main server, in the endless data flow.
Joshua and No. 3 were located in front of thousands of virtual light screens, paying close attention to the live game play of all the 'internal beta players' at the same time.
"It seems that only a small number of people will try this game that appeared out of nowhere, and only an even smaller number of people will actually start playing the game."
Joshua's data projection held No. 3's hand, and the two looked around at all the light screens. The warrior was not angry that he sent more than 50,000 internal beta game accounts, but only four to five thousand people started the game. On the contrary, he was quite satisfied: "It's really normal. Being cautious is a good thing."
"However, those who join the game later will definitely regret starting 'Conflict Continent' too late in the future."
With that said, Joshua felt that No. 3 was holding his hand a little harder, which also meant that his connection with the main server of the Magic Network was even closer, allowing warriors with a mental deviation value exceeding 90% to Able to continue communicating in a normal mental state.
[Strife Continent], the name of this game was named by Joshua based on the name of the game he played in his previous life. It is a sentiment and a commemoration of the past time on earth. At the same time, it is also a relationship with Joshua. The nature of the 'game' designed is very consistent.
The essence of this game named "Dispute" is that Joshua, together with many other legendary powerhouses, created a huge and complex world in the magic network during the ten days after returning to the Mycroft continent. The data space system, although it is called a game, has a core that is deeply connected to Joshua's computing matrix.
'Spirit Master' William designed this game to dive deep into the hypnotic array. He extracted a large number of models from the warrior's memory for game modeling, while 'Rune Controller' Barnier used the most advanced rune skills to create the game. These models were solidified in the magic network, forming a complete game framework through the computing power provided by Joshua, and Barbarossa and the unknown technician Lotram designed the 'thinking acceleration' spiritual rune module, Canghai Xian Zhefaina used spiritual energy to connect Joshua's computing matrix located inside the silver world and the main server of the magic network across the void.
In addition, there are a lot of game systems, UI design, gameplay design, programming and other trivial matters... These are all big and troublesome tasks, but because the person who raised this request was Joshua, all of them Legendary powerhouses and technicians in related fields are willing to give face to this warrior who basically saved the entire galaxy.
It is precisely because many legendary experts and corresponding technicians work overtime day and night, and even use thought acceleration runes to speed up their work. Otherwise, the shell of 'Conflict Continent' will not be completed in just ten days.
In fact, the effect is also very perfect - although the Continent of Disputes is only an internal test, both the gameplay and the system program are already very perfect. The computing matrix provided by Joshua as a server is enough to support thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Thousands of people play at the same time.
"Ordinary people without extraordinary strength can withstand 8 times the acceleration of thinking, while the black iron level is 16 times, the silver level is 32 times, and the gold level is already 64 times."
Joining hands with No. 3, who was expressionless and not sure what his mood was, he looked around at the many game screens. Joshua whispered to himself: "However, there are currently no ordinary people or black iron-level players. Most of them have been invited and have joined." The players in the game are all silver and gold level...but this is only the majority, there are still some peak gold and ultimate level players who also participated in the internal beta, and their thinking acceleration is 128 times!"
With that said, Joshua clicked on a light screen hanging in front of his eyes. The light screen magnified, showing the game screen behind him that had been accelerated more than a hundred times.
To ordinary people, a picture at this speed is just a changing color patch, but to Joshua, this is not considered fast.
It can be seen that the person playing the game is none other than Joshua's friend, the adopted son of the Seven Gods Pope Eagle, a paladin named Loranda.
This Paladin, whose strength has reached the highest level and is almost touching the peak, is beginning to look forward to his own legendary path. The chosen race has crossed the two stages of 'spore' and 'creature' and has reached the third stage. At the 'Tribe' stage, you can see that the appearance of the race he set is similar to humans, and the innate characteristic is 'magic mastery'.
In the 'Spore' stage, Loranda was lucky enough to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the rare SSR, 'Advanced Magic Sensing Component' and 'Half-Spiritual Body', which allowed his cells to obtain when they developed to the biological stage. With this huge advantage, he was able to continue to strengthen his talent of 'Magic Mastery', making his race a 'Silver Wizard Race' that was born with the ability to use magic power, and had a silver-level strength just after reaching adulthood.
Although the highest achievement set in the game is for the gold race to reach gold level as an adult, the silver race is definitely one of a kind and an extremely rare achievement. Being able to develop the race to this point is enough to prove that Loranda Business intentions.
However, at the tribal stage, the word "dispute" in the name of the game "Strife Continent" began to gradually reveal its meaning - Joshua could see, in the light curtain, this person who was created by Loranda and was born to control The magical wizard race is now having internal strife due to the different types of magical elements naturally awakened by each family in the tribe. The entire tribe is facing its first large-scale internal conflict and is now about to split.
[The strife of civilizations appears!]
The game character controlled by Loranda, the patriarch of the wizard race, had such a silver menu appear in front of his eyes, proving that the first large-scale conflict was coming.
-The awakened magic elements are born with different elements. This kind of thing is simply a trivial matter in the world of Mycroft with a developed extraordinary system. Even between father and son, it is impossible to 100% guarantee that the awakened element affinities are the same, but for a For ignorant primitive races, the very thing of being 'different' will cause great contradictions.
Human tribes can even be divided and even become feuding because some people raise sheep, some people raise pigs, some people plant crops, and some people graze cattle, and other worlds are naturally no exception. For the early stages of extraordinary races, people who are born with awakening Elements represent a kind of inheritance, and different elements represent different inheritances. This will naturally cause great internal conflicts and divisions.
Loranda, who was originally confident and easily passed the two stages of 'Spore' and 'Creature', is now struggling to adjust, trying desperately to persuade the representatives of each element to reconcile, but words are of no use at all - because As a natural semi-spiritual body, awakening the fire element of the wizard race is equivalent to having half the blood of the fire element, and awakening the water element is equivalent to having half the blood of the water element.
The different awakened extraordinary powers will basically create two almost completely different 'races'. This contradiction cannot be convinced with words. The fire element and the water element are completely different in terms of living habits and demand environments. It is simply impossible to live together.
However, Joshua is not worried that Loranda cannot solve this problem - after all, Loranda has a civilization, backed by the long-standing extraordinary power system of Mylov's world, there is no reason why it cannot solve this small matter of the primitive tribe.
In fact, under the 128 times acceleration, he had seen that after thinking hard for a long time, Loranda finally came up with a solution.
Although the Paladin is a priest, it does not mean that Loranda, the future legendary successor, does not understand magic. In the game, he carefully recalled an article "Full Magic Meditation Method", and then in the six elements He directly announced in front of the representative that he confirmed to everyone in front of the altar that the so-called 'six elements' are just extensions of the fundamental power of the world called 'magic'. No matter what element they are, they all need to be magical. As the foundation, we can become stronger.
This speech and announcement confirmed that magic is the foundation of the race. It also bridged the gaps between the wizard races and avoided this racial division. In the same way, it also avoided the conflicts between the six elemental races for thousands of years to come. The loss of civilization caused by attacking, invading, and holding back each other also avoids the destruction of civilization caused by the "Great Unification War" in the future.
So, just as Paladin Loranda looked at it with a satisfied face [Civilization conflicts have been avoided!]When this prompt bar appears.
In the extremely dark abyss, deep in the maelstrom of creation, Joshua's body is in the silver world of stars.
A large number of dense cracks suddenly appeared on the 'Chaos of Death' piled up in the crystal obelisk and suppressed by the power of steel at all times. Although it still looks like a complete piece, its essence has been defeated now, and it is easy to It can be completely shattered and absorbed by Joshua's steel power, and turned into his own power.
Looking at this scene, feeling the slight change in the mental deviation value of his body, Joshua couldn't help but smile in the main server of the Magic Network.
Through the game and players, resolving the [Civilization Disputes] that may arise in each civilization is equivalent to helping Joshua crush the marks of the evil god of death on his body.
Originally, these memories were not very powerful and stubborn. They were simply orders of magnitude too large, and Joshua had to use all his strength to suppress them. However, if many gamers helped him resolve the chaotic memories, the little things would add up to speed up his recovery. Then Joshua can correct his mental deviation a hundred times faster than just relying on himself.
After all, without the constraints of chaotic memory, it would not be impossible for Joshua to suppress his increasingly violent divinity with his own will, at least it would be much easier and simpler than it is now.
"But it's not just that."
Putting down the light curtain representing Loranda, Joshua turned his head and looked at the light curtains elsewhere, his expression calm.
"In the 'civilization' stage after the tribe, players will face more severe tests."
"Only by successfully passing that stage, the player's game progress can significantly repair my condition - and it is also at this stage that they can also obtain 'benefits' that are far beyond their imagination."
Human evil appears!
Second Christmas update, maybe a third update
