Chapter 6: The Evil ...... of Mankind The strife of civilizations is revealed
When I woke up again, it was still dark.
Priest, who had just woken up, subconsciously wanted to look around and see what was going on...... But soon, he realized that he could only vaguely see if there was any light in front of him, and that he seemed to have no limbs, only a few uncontrolled flagellum that were instinctively waving and carrying him forward.
I...... It's actually become a 'cell'?!
After all, he is also an elite, and Priest soon discovers that his current body is very similar to the appearance of the cells he set up before...... No, it's exactly the same, he's just become a cell set by himself!
And in a short period of 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 the countless primitive single-celled creatures in the primordial life ocean, now you have nothing, only the most basic survival system, in order to survive and pass on your genes to future generations, you decided to seize the powerful genetic parts of other cells and arm yourself to be the most powerful one in this primordial life ocean. 】
[But remember, the most fundamental purpose of life is 'survival' rather than 'becoming stronger'.] 'Elemental Cell Body', how far can you go? Will you be able to overcome the harsh environment of the Primordial Sea, survive and grow your descendants? 】
Then came a lot of information about the rules, and after absorbing and reading these memories, Priest quickly understood how the game should be played.
- The game of 'Continent of Discord' is divided into five stages, the first of which is the cell stage called 'Spore', which needs to control a single cell to find food in the dark sea of primitive life, plunder genetic parts, and keep getting stronger. And after a certain level of growth, the 'spor' stage opportunity ends and the next stage called 'creature' begins.
What the next stage will be, Priest doesn't know now, but the gameplay of the spore stage is very simple, it is simply to control a cell, find 'food' to make yourself stronger, and then attack other cells, get genetic parts to arm yourself, and then attack other more powerful cells to get more powerful genetic parts...... Each genetic component can bring a variety of different abilities, and the genetic component with mild talent can be added to the power.
"Hey, that's interesting!"
Although Priest feels that this gameplay has nothing to do with any 'Discord Continent', and the name is completely a cover fraud, but even so, because the people in the McCrof world are already lacking in entertainment, he is still in high spirits, and some can't wait to 'hunt' other cells and make his cells stronger.
To put it bluntly, isn't this just the same as hunting? This is not an unfamiliar word for Priest, whose hometown is in the southern fortress group of the empire, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, it is not difficult or difficult.
The memory dissipated, the game officially began, and Priest knew that under the 64 times mental acceleration supported by his gold-level strength, the time for him to play for an hour was only less than a minute in the outside world, and he had time to try.
The dark primeval sea, warm and full of undercurrents, a large number of high-heat mineral liquid spurted from the depths of the earth's core spewed out a large number of reactions in the hot solution, creating a large number of white organic particles, and countless strange-shaped single-celled organisms wandered and evolved in this sea full of food.
Priest excitedly controlled his cell body and swam in the dark sea, and after he swallowed a few white particles floating in the seawater, which is the so-called 'organic food', Priest's less developed light-sensing organ became aware that in a rock crevice in front of him, there were actually several cells with 'special genetic parts' inhabiting.
The silver menu shows that those cells actually hold the 'advanced photosensitive parts' that Priest most wants to obtain today, which is undoubtedly a necessary part for Priest, who suffers from vision constraints and doesn't even know that food floats in front of him—but it is not easy to obtain these parts, because the perception parts are more developed than Priest, and the cells hiding in the cracks of the rocks have already sensed Priest's arrival, and they are very cautious, as long as Priest gets closer, And they'll slip away.
Because the number and level of flagella are about the same, the speed of both sides is almost the same, as long as they are bent on escaping, even if they are a few sizes older than the other party, they will definitely not be able to catch up with each other.
And just when Priest was in the dark sea, planning a sneak attack in order to plunder a few rare genetic parts.
——Deep in the main server of the Central Magic Network, in the endless flow of data.
Joshua and No. 3 are in front of thousands of virtual light curtains, and they are carefully watching the live gameplay of all the 'closed beta players' at the same time.
"It seems that only a small percentage of people will try this game that appeared out of nowhere, and only a small number of people will actually start playing."
Joshua's data projection held No. 3's hand, and the two looked around at all the light curtains, and the warrior was not angry that he had sent more than 50,000 closed beta game accounts, but only four or five thousand people started the game, but was quite satisfied: "It's really normal, it's a good thing to be cautious." ”
"However, those who join the game later will definitely regret starting the 'Continent of Discord' too late in the future."
Saying this, Joshua felt that No. 3 was holding his hand a little harder, which also meant that his connection with the main server of the Demon Net was a little closer, so that the fighters with a mental deviation value of more than 90% could continue to communicate in a normal mental state.
[Continent of Discord], the name of this game, is based on the name of the game that Joshua played in his previous life, which is a feeling, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of the past time on Earth, and at the same time, it is also very consistent with the essence of this 'game' designed by Joshua.
The essence of this game, titled 'Strife', is a huge and complex data space system created by Joshua in the magic net in the ten days after returning to the Mycrof continent, together with many other legendary powerhouses.
William, the 'Spirit Master', designed a deep dive into the hypnosis circle, he extracted a large number of models from the warrior's memories for game modeling, and the 'Rune Master' Barnier used the most advanced rune skills to solidify these models in the magic net, and formed a perfect game framework through the computing power provided by Joshua, and Barbarossa and the nameless technician Lotram designed the ' Thinking Acceleration's spiritual rune module, Faina, the sage of the sea, uses psionic energy to connect the Joshua computing matrix located inside the silver world with the main server of the magic net across the void.
In addition to this, there are a lot of trivial things such as game system, UI design, gameplay design, program design, etc...... These are some big, troublesome jobs, but because the person who made this request was Joshua, all the legendary powerhouses, as well as the technicians in related fields, were willing to give face to this warrior who could basically be said to have saved the entire world galaxy.
It is precisely because of the overtime work of many legendary powerhouses and corresponding technicians day and night, and even use thinking acceleration runes to speed up their own work, otherwise, in just ten days, the shell of the 'Continent of Discord' will not be completed.
In fact, the effect is also very perfect - although the continent of strife is only an internal test, both the gameplay and the system program are already very perfect, and the computing matrix provided by Joshua as a server is enough to support thousands or even tens of thousands of people to play at the same time.
"Ordinary people without extraordinary strength can withstand 8 times the acceleration of thinking, while the Black Iron Rank is 16 times, Silver is 32 times, and Gold is already 64 times."
With No. 3, who was expressionless and didn't know how he was feeling, looked around at the many game light curtains, Joshua whispered to himself: "However, there are no ordinary people and Black Iron level players at the moment, most of the players who have been invited, and the players who join the game are Silver and Gold level...... But that's just the majority, there are still some Golden Peak and Extreme Meaning players who have also participated in the closed beta, and their thinking acceleration is 128 times! ”
With that, Joshua clicked on a certain light curtain hanging in front of him, and the light curtain enlarged, revealing a game picture that had been accelerated more than a hundred times behind him.
A picture of this speed is just a patch of color that is constantly changing for ordinary people, but for Joshua, it is not fast.
It can be seen that the person who is playing is none other than Joshua's friend, the adopted son of the Seven Gods Pope Iger, a paladin named Loranda.
This paladin, whose strength has reached the extreme high level, can almost touch the peak, and begins to look forward to his legendary path, the race he chooses has crossed the two stages of 'spores' and 'creatures', and has come to the third stage 'tribe', and it can be seen that the racial shape he set is similar to that of humans, and the talent trait is 'magic mastery'.
In the 'Spore' stage, Lolanda was lucky enough to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the rare SSR of 'Advanced Magic Perception Components' and 'Half-Spirit Body', which gave his cells a great advantage when they developed to the biological stage, and then they were able to continue to strengthen the talent of 'magic mastery', making his race a 'Silver Wizard Race' that was born with the ability to use magic and had just reached the first level of silver at the age of adulthood.
Although it is said that the highest achievement set in the game is the golden race with the gold rank when you are an adult, the silver race is definitely one in a thousand, and it is an extremely rare achievement, and being able to develop the race to this point is enough to prove the intentions of Lolanda's management.
However, at the tribal stage, the word 'strife' in the name of the game 'Discord Continent' began to gradually show its meaning - Joshua could see that in the light curtain, this wizard race created by Lolanda and born to control magic power is now in internal conflict because of the different types of magical elements awakened by various families in the tribe, and the entire tribe is facing the first major internal conflict, and now it is about to split.
[The strife of civilizations appears!] 】
The appearance of such a silver menu in front of the eyes of the game character controlled by Loranda, the patriarch of the wizard race, proves that the first large-scale contradiction has become.
- The innate awakening of the magic elements is different, this kind of thing, for the transcendent system of the developed Microf world, is simply a trivial matter, even between father and son, it is impossible to guarantee 100% that the affinity of the awakened elements is the same, but for an ignorant primitive race, the 'difference' itself will cause great contradictions.
Human tribes will even be divided because some people raise sheep, some people raise pigs, some people grow crops, and some people graze, and even become feuds, and the other world is no exception, for the early stage of the transcendent race, the elements of natural awakening represent a kind of inheritance, and different elements represent different inheritances, which will naturally cause great internal contradictions and divisions.
Loranda, who was originally confident and easily cleared the two stages of 'Spore' and 'Creature', is now anxious to adjust in the middle, desperately trying to persuade the representatives of the various elements to reconcile, but language is of no use at all - because of the innate half-spirit body, the awakening of the fire element of the wizard race is equivalent to having half of the fire element bloodline, and awakening the water element is also equivalent to having half of the water element bloodline.
The difference in the supernatural power of awakening will basically create two almost completely different 'races', this contradiction cannot be persuaded by words, the fire element and the water element are completely different in terms of living habits and demand environment, and it is impossible to live together.
However, Joshua is not worried that Lorenda will not be able to solve this problem - after all, Lolanda has a civilization, backed by the ancient transcendent power system of the Microft world, and there is no reason why it cannot solve this little thing of the primitive tribe.
In fact, with a 128x acceleration, he had already seen that after thinking about it for a long time, Lolanda finally came up with a solution.
Although the paladin is a priest, it does not mean that Lolanda, the future legendary successor, does not understand magic, he carefully recalled a 'full system of magic meditation' in the game, and then directly announced in front of the representatives of the six elements that he confirmed to everyone before the altar that the so-called 'six elements' are just an extension of the fundamental power of the world that belongs to 'magic', no matter what the element, it needs to be based on magic in order to become stronger.
This speech and proclamation confirmed that magic is the foundation of the race, and it also bridged the rift between the wizard races and avoided this racial split—in the same way, it also avoided the loss of civilization caused by the six elemental races attacking each other for thousands of years in the future, invading, and pulling back their legs, and also avoided the end of civilization destruction caused by the 'Great Unification War' in the future.
Therefore, just when the paladin Lolanda looked at it with a satisfied face, [The conflict of civilizations has been avoided!] ] at the time of this prompt bar.
The Extremely Dark Abyss, in the depths of the Maelstrom of Creation, in the body of Joshua, in the world of silver stars.
A large number of dense cracks suddenly appeared on the 'Chaos of Death' that was piled up in the crystal obelisk and suppressed by the power of steel at all times, although it still looked intact, but now its essence had been defeated, and it could easily be completely shattered by Joshua's steel power, absorbed, and turned into its own power.
Looking at this scene, feeling the slight change in the mental deviation value of his body, in the main server of the magic network, Joshua couldn't help but show a smile.
Through the game and the player, solving the [Civilization Strife] that may arise in each civilization is equivalent to helping Joshua smash the marks of the evil gods of death in his body.
Originally, these memories were not very powerful and stubborn, but they were simply an order of magnitude too large, so that Joshua had to do his best to suppress them, and if there were many gamers who helped him solve the chaotic memories, accumulate a lot, and speed up his recovery, then Joshua would be able to correct his mental deviation value by being a hundred times faster than relying on himself.
After all, without the containment of Chaos Memory, it would not be impossible for Joshua to suppress his increasingly violent divinity with his own will, at least it would be far easier and simpler than it is now.
"But that's not all."
Lowering the light curtain representing Lolanda, Joshua turned his head and looked at the light curtain elsewhere, his face calm.
"In the 'civilization' phase after the Horde, players will face even more severe tests."
"Only by successfully passing that stage can the player's progress in the game have a noticeable repair effect on my condition - and it is also at this stage that they can get far more 'benefits' than they imagined."
