At this time, in just a few minutes in the real world, Priest, who was accelerating, had already spent several hours in the game.
It can be seen that strange creatures like the Tairan Giant Cocoon are now beginning to multiply and grow in a dense forest. Although they have no hands and feet, they have strong elemental control. They can control the surrounding elements to form the limbs they need for hunting. and construction. Under the influence of Priest's instinct, all Tairan giant cocoons have formed the habit of constructing two hands, two legs and one end. It is for this reason that the name Tairan giant cocoon has gradually become 'Tairan elemental giant' .
He is several meters tall and carries elements with him - walking in the desert is the element of earth, walking in the water is the element of water, and naturally, in volcanoes and glaciers, it is the element of fire and ice. The shape of the Tairan giant will be affected by the surrounding elements. The environment and terrain will change all the time. Because of this extremely powerful and special ability, the Tyran Giants basically have no natural enemies. Even the 'epic creatures' walking in the wilderness cannot pose a threat to them.
Joshua could even see that Priest, the leader of the Tyran Giants, began to incite his people to hunt an epic beast 'Glendo Scorpion' in the surrounding mountains, which was as big as a small hill. A giant carapace insect with a body length of more than two hundred meters is like a huge biological battleship, with physical strength that can dwarf the world.
However, facing hundreds of 'Tairan Titans' who were uniformly organized under Priest's command, and whose movements and dodges were quite methodical. As long as the giant cocoon on their chests was not shattered, they would never die. Grandor Giant The scorpion can only end up being hunted.
After paying the price of dozens of tribesmen being crushed and killed, the seemingly invincible mountain giant scorpion fell into the hands of the mortal race that it usually completely ignored. But at the moment of death, it let out a roar that shook the world. , causing the situation to change color, the powerful sound wave even tore the air, and killed several Tairan giants who were approaching.
Although the explanation was easy, the actual battle was so difficult that there was no time to express emotion. In short, when the lucky Priest exploded the SSR epic component 'Gigantization Gene' from the giant scorpion, the effect was 'the equipper's race' After receiving such an extremely powerful element as the adult extraordinary level +1', he directly loaded this SSR-level component onto the body of the Tairan Cocoon without even thinking about it.
And this operation was exactly what made Joshua shake his head and sigh.
Equip the giant gene and transform the race. Suddenly, earth-shaking changes in the bloodline have turned the Tairan Giant Cocoon, which originally had the low-level strength of silver as an adult, directly into the 'golden race' with the low-level realm of gold as an adult!
Because it is equipped with the 'giant gene', the Tairan giant cocoon, which originally had an adult body size of only about 70 centimeters and controlled the elemental body of about six to eight meters, immediately became two meters in size at birth. There are even super behemoths that are nearly 12 meters long - and the elemental bodies that the Tairan Giant Cocoon can control have expanded to a size of nearly 100 meters. The visual size of each individual is comparable to the previous Grandor. The giant scorpion is even better in terms of height!
Joshua could see such a scene - when the real 'Cocoon of Peace' grows from infancy to adulthood, its original elemental body will immediately collapse, causing the white pine cone-shaped core to fall - if it comes into contact with If it is the earth, then the giant cocoon will pull up the soil and wrap itself into a mountain giant that is truly composed of rocks and soil. If it comes into contact with flowing water, then it will quickly absorb it, control the flowing water, and wrap itself in a In a huge humanoid form of water.
When the gigantic Tairan cocoon took shape, the hundred-meter-tall Tairan giants appeared on the earth. Their bodies were either entangled with countless plants, or filled with lightning mist, lava and hot wind. Each Tairan giant's The shapes are all different, but the same thing is that they are all extremely powerful and have the innate power to transform terrain and destroy mountains.
—In terms of pure violence, the Tairan Giant has reached an extreme.
But Joshua frowned at this moment and gave his own evaluation.
"Too much is too little."
Holding No. 3's hand, he shook his head and whispered: "Being born with too much power is not a good thing for a race and civilization."
And as the warrior said.
As the game continues to develop, Priest leads the Tyran Giants smoothly from the biological stage to the 'tribal' stage - the Tyran Giants do not have any natural enemies on the continent, even epic-level creatures, they have no natural enemies. From a human perspective, it is just a prey that needs to be cautious. Advancing to the third tribe stage is really just a matter of course.
Priest was originally very excited - he knew that he was probably the first player to obtain the achievement of 'Golden Race'. Regarding this, as a man and a normally competitive creature, he naturally felt that I feel extremely happy and excited, and want to continue playing to see how far the powerful species I have cultivated can go.
"Continue the game!"
Without hesitation, Priest continued on his journey by clicking Continue on the silver menu.
But soon, as he entered the tribal era, he noticed something was wrong.
The reproduction of the Tairan Giants is too slow and too infrequent... Even in some special years, the population of the Tairan Giants does not even rise but falls!
[Take the crossroads of civilization!]
A huge silver warning bar appeared!
Due to their overly huge body size and the fact that their bodies hidden behind elemental shells are difficult to mate with, and because they are too powerful and have no desire to leave offspring, after entering the tribal stage, there were originally a population of thousands of Tairan giants distributed around the world. Due to various reasons, the number of Titans decreased rapidly. In a short period of time, as the lifespan of the first batch of Titans came to an end, the number of Titans in the world suddenly dropped to less than a hundred!
"No, this will not satisfy even the most basic population of the tribe!"
Priest had a bitter look on his face. After he realized that his game journey would probably end due to elements other than combat, he immediately understood what he had done wrong.
—The huge body represents the huge demand for food, and the strong strength represents the desire to reproduce underneath. Coupled with the unique and hidden way of survival of the giant cocoon, let alone mating, the Tairan giants who need to spread out to forage can't even get together. Very difficult.
You must know that the giant cocoon of Tairan during mating can be said to be the only time in its life that it will leave the elemental shell. At the moment of weakness, although the twelve-meter body is large, it is not invincible. There are other creatures that can hunt. them at this time. Therefore, if there is no absolutely safe area, the giant cocoons of Tairan will not reproduce.
Originally, the tribe stage was a stage that required racial cooperation, but now that Puris specifically said cooperation, even enough people could not be gathered together, and they could not afford the heavy food burden when a large number of Tairan giants were together... All the points were wrong. , it is not surprising at all that the tribe collapsed instantly.
"No, there is still hope!"
But even so, Priest, who already had deep feelings for the Tyran Titans, did not give up... In the game, as eras passed, he led the remaining Tyran Giants to gather on a fertile coastal plain and sow the same huge seeds. God's plants, through occasional fishing and hunting, are guaranteed to be self-reliant.
As the leader, Priest led several powerful men to live on a huge mountain, where he built an absolutely safe and solid defense line. Here, he urged his tribe to have more children and increase their offspring. …
As time went by, with Priest's efforts, the number of giants gradually stabilized at around a hundred. Among them, the eleven most powerful Tairan Giants lived on the top of the mountain following the leader of the Thunder Giants controlled by Priest. The castle that rules over all other Terran giants.
Their names are called 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' by other weak intelligent beings on this continent.
All in all, with Priest almost kicking the butts of other giants and desperately urging the implementation of reproduction and leaving offspring, he passed the 'tribe' stage in a stumbling way, leading a group of people on the continent who didn't know when to appear. It is estimated that the tribe, a small subordinate race originally designed as an enemy in the tribal era, has entered the 'civilization' stage.
[Confirmed—Celestial Civilization—You have entered the civilized era!]
But that's where it ends.
As the civilization stage entered the middle stage, temples of the Tyran Giants were being built around the world, and Chaos invaders from other worlds also began to appear. Priest immediately understood that his game would probably end here.
-The mighty and surging Chaos Familia Corps cannot be resisted by just a few, dozens, or hundreds of powerful giants. What is needed is a complete, powerful, self-system, and large population , a 'civilization' with many strong men can truly resist powerful enemies!
Although the strength of the Tairan Giants is strong, their number is too small. Although each individual has high-level gold power after training, and the individual who is called the "God" has the power of the Ultimate Level, but in the face of There were millions of Chaos Familia, but they were still completely submerged and then destroyed.
It can be seen that the temple of the Tairan giant was destroyed, the evil fire of sin ignited the holy mountain, and the giants as huge as mountains fell one after another, and finally turned into dust.
And as the last Tairan Titan, the Thunder Titan controlled by Priest, also died in the last line of defense, a black and red gloom enveloped the entire world.
[Game failed—Tianran Tianshen civilization has been destroyed]
When he saw these four characters appearing, Joshua was not surprised at all - because this was the reason why the extraordinary race named 'Tairan Giants', stored in the crystal obelisk, became extinct in the past.
Too strong power and too low fertility rate have curbed the development of civilization and technology. When outside invaders captured and destroyed them all, they had just learned how to build houses.
And this skill was learned by observing ordinary races who regarded them as gods.
"Priest did quite well, at least he didn't forget to develop technology, but he still couldn't withstand the temptation of power."
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but shook his head: "Actually, he has another choice - if he doesn't spend so much time on race, but focuses on the strength of his character and upgrades it to the legendary level, then Even if the Chaos Familia from another world invade, he can repel them alone."
Although it sounds a little funny, for extraordinary civilizations, sometimes there is no need to force everyone to be equal... because most of the time, an out-of-standard strong person appears, which improves the entire civilization more than the progress of a certain technology. more important.
At least, a legendary strong man can delay enough time to wait for the overall progress of civilization to appear under the attack of powerful enemies.
In Joshua's setting, the fourth 'civilization' stage is the dividing line between hardcore and amateur.
In the fourth stage of 'Civilization', all civilizations controlled by players will encounter invasions from different Chaos Families from other worlds. Players can choose to be heroes and resist the invasion of darkness on their own, or they can choose to be leaders and reform the system. Develop technology and use the entire civilization to fight a real war with the Chaos Familia from another world.
This is also part of the "Clash of Civilizations".
"However, although we have not cleared it, since we have reached the fourth stage, even if we fail, it is not without gain."
Joshua turned to look at other game light screens - at this time, the number of people online in the game was close to 7,000. It seems that some hesitant beta players started to play after hesitating for a while, but among all the players , 5,800 people have been defeated, genocide has occurred, and civilization has been overturned.
Among them, most of them were exterminated during the disputes in the tribal era, and only one-fifth of them were invaded and destroyed by the chaos of the other world during the civilization stage.
As of now, except for Loranda and others who are still struggling in the civilization stage and fighting against the chaos of the other world, basically all the players have been wiped out.
"There will be a surprise." The soldier smiled and looked at the screen that was mostly dark, and whispered to himself.
…
Moldavia Territory, South Outer City.
In his room, Priest suddenly woke up.
"I... was attacked by the Chaos Army and entered the castle... I failed..."
In his mind, he was still immersed in the scene of his failure in the battle and the destruction of the entire civilization, but soon Priest realized that he had left the game and returned to reality.
"... It's such a thrilling adventure... I didn't expect that even after simplifying so many steps, it would be so difficult to lead a race to become a civilization and lead a civilization to progress... "
Although he felt very, very regretful, even to the point of being distressed, the rational Priest still breathed a sigh of relief... After all, the consequences of all this, including the final failure, were all his choices.
Of course, he has discovered the reason for the destruction of the Tairan Giant - all because he was too greedy and forcibly loaded his race with a gigantizing gene. If there was no gigantizing gene, then with the strength and strength of the Tairan Giant Cocoon, which is not weak, It can be regarded as having a decent fertility, at least it will not be beaten to death by the Chaos Legion.
The first element of civilization is indeed not individual strength, but population!
Despite the heartache caused by the failure of the game, Priest firmly remembered this point - he will definitely not make this mistake again next time he plays!
"Next time, I must...Eh?!"
Priest rolled out of bed and was about to call Sur to prepare dinner for the whole family, but when his feet touched the floor, he suddenly exclaimed, then reached out to touch his head: "Strange... my Why did your mental strength suddenly increase so much?"
"Moreover, in my mind... how come the Tairan Giant's strategy of controlling elemental battles appears?!"
Unbelievable!
And just when Priest was in doubt, players in the entire world and in all corners of the world who had cleared the third and fourth stages of the conflict began to exclaim.
They also felt the improvement in their mental power, and all players who passed the fourth stage gained some skills mastered in the game by the civilization they controlled! And all of these skills can be used in reality!
It sounds unbelievable and strange, but in fact, it is nothing.
Because this is the reward system that Joshua has arranged for the game Strife Continent.
When the game Continent of Strife reaches the third stage and the dispute between at least one civilization is resolved, players can clear part of the Chaos Resentment for Joshua, allowing him to release part of the restrained computing power and then suppress God. sex. For warriors who are soul burners, they can gain part of their power by dissolving the chaos itself.
Through the magic network, Joshua directly transmitted part of the power gained from dissolving chaos to the corresponding players, and players who passed the third stage could more or less receive feedback on mental or physical strength.
Players who have gone through the fourth stage and have directly fought against the Chaos Legion are equivalent to directly fighting against the chaotic memories in Joshua's mind. As a reward, they can naturally learn from the countless databases of destroyed civilizations that Joshua has mastered. , learn some corresponding skills and knowledge.
"This is not just a game."
Looking at the light screen that had all dimmed, Joshua's data projection also slowly dissipated - the wizard civilization controlled by Loranda was too single due to its extraordinary power. At the end of the civilization stage, when it faced three alien chaos legions at the same time. , unfortunately encountered a chaotic natural enemy with the ability of "medium magic resistance", and finally fell into decline and gradually retreated.
At this point, there are no players from the Continent of Dispute playing the game, and only a small number of newbies who have just joined are preparing to start.
In reality, both Loranda and Priest noticed that they had become stronger. The former raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a smile, while the latter, surrounded by Soul and his sister, began to make amends. Continent of Strife is a hot game that has just launched its server.
Joshua, who had withdrawn from the data space and returned his consciousness to the Moldavia lord's mansion, did not know about this, but even if he knew, the warrior would not be surprised.
Because they have experienced a lot in the spiritual world, they can fully afford this power - they can become stronger by playing games, which is not a lie for the Strife Continent.
And he can also take advantage of this opportunity to pass on the essence of many civilizations' technologies to the people of Mylov's civilization through games.
This is not just a game.
Yesterday was the fourth update, but I ended up writing too much, so I can only update it today.
It feels like everyone’s recent rewards. I don’t really read data. I looked at the data recently and found that everyone was so enthusiastic last week... I wrote a little more during Christmas, and I have nothing to do anyway ()
