At this time, in the real world in such a short period of minutes, Priest in the acceleration process has already spent hours in the game.

It can be seen that the strange creatures of the Cocoon of Tranquility are now beginning to multiply and grow in a dense forest, although they have no hands or feet, they have a strong elemental control, and can control the surrounding elements to form the limbs they need, hunt and build. Under the influence of Priest's instinct, all Calm Cocoons have formed the habit of constructing second-hand two-legged heads, and it is precisely for this reason that the name of Calm Cocoon has gradually become 'Calm Elemental Giant'.

A few meters tall, carrying the elements - walking in the desert, it is the earth element, walking in the water pool, it is the water element, nature, in the volcanoes, glaciers, it is the fire element, the ice element, the form of the Calm Giant will change all the time due to the surrounding environment and terrain, because of this extremely powerful and special ability, the Calm Giant basically has no natural enemies, and even the 'epic creatures' walking in the wilderness cannot pose a threat to them.

Joshua could even see that Priest, the leader of the Calm Giants, began to incite his people to hunt an epic giant beast in the surrounding mountains, the 'Grandor Scorpion', a giant carapace insect the size of a small hill and more than two hundred meters long, like a huge biological warship, with enough physical strength to dominate the world.

However, in the face of hundreds of 'Calm Giants' who are neatly aligned under the command of Priest, and their actions are quite orderly, as long as they are not shattered by the giant cocoon on their chests, they will never die, and the Grandor giant scorpion can only usher in the end of being hunted.

After paying the price of dozens of clansmen being crushed, the seemingly invincible mountain giant scorpion fell into the hands of the mortal race that he usually completely ignored, but at the end of his death, it let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and the powerful sound wave even tore the air, killing several nearby Tairan giants.

Although the explanation was easy, the actual battle was too hard, so that it was too late to sigh, all in all, when the lucky Priest burst out of the giant scorpion's SSR epic-level component 'Giant Gene', the effect is 'Equiptor's Race Adult Transcendent Rank +1' Such an incomparably powerful element, he didn't even think about it, and directly loaded this SSR-level part onto the body of the Calm Cocoon.

And this operation is exactly what made Joshua shake his head and sigh.

Equipped with huge genes and transforming the race, all of a sudden, the earth-shattering changes in the bloodline made the Tairan Cocoon, which originally had the strength of the silver low-level after adulthood, directly become the 'golden race' of the golden low-level realm in adulthood!

Because of the equipment of the 'gigantic gene', the original adult body size was only about 70 centimeters, and the controlled elemental body was about six to eight meters of the Tairan Cocoon, which immediately became a super behemoth that was two meters in size at birth, and nearly twelve meters in adulthood - and the elemental body that the Tairan Cocoon could control was even more expanded to a size of nearly 100 meters, and the visual size of each individual was comparable to the previous Glendot giant scorpion, and even in terms of height!

Joshua could see that when the true 'Cocoon of Grace' grew from infancy to adulthood, its original elemental body would immediately collapse, causing its white pinecone-like core to fall—if it touched the earth, the cocoon would pull up the dirt and wrap itself into a mountain giant made of true rock and soil, and if it came into contact with flowing water, it would quickly absorb it, control it, and wrap itself in a huge water human form.

When the gigantic cocoon of Tranquility was formed, the hundred-meter-tall Giant of Tranquility appeared on the earth, their bodies were either wrapped around countless plants, or filled with lightning mist, lava hot wind, each of the Tranquility Giants had different forms, but what was the same was that they were all extremely powerful, and they were born with the power to transform the terrain and destroy the mountains.

- In terms of pure violence, the Titan Giant has reached an extreme.

But Joshua, at this time, frowned and gave his own evaluation.

"It's too much."

Holding No. 3's hand, he shook his head and said in a low voice, "The innate strength is too strong, and it is not a good thing for a race and civilization. ”

And as the same fighter said.

As the game progresses, Priest leads the Titan Giants smoothly from the creature stage to the 'tribe' stage - the Calm Giants don't have any natural enemies on the continent at all, even epic creatures are just prey that need to be cautious for them, and advancing to the third tribe stage is really just a natural little thing.

Priest was originally very excited—he knew that he was probably the first player to get the achievement of 'Golden Race', and in this regard, as a man, as a normal competitive creature, he naturally felt extremely happy and excited, and wanted to continue playing to see how far the powerful species he had cultivated could go.

"Keep playing!"

Without hesitation, clicking Continue on the silver menu, Priest continues his journey.

But soon, when he entered the tribal era, he noticed that something was wrong.

The reproduction of the Giant of Tranquility is too slow and too few...... Even, in some special years, the population of the Tairan Giant does not even rise but falls!

[Embark on the fork in the road of civilization! 】

A huge silver warning strip appears!

The size of the body is too huge, and the body hidden behind the elemental shell is difficult to mate, and the reason why it is too powerful and does not have any desire to leave offspring, after entering the tribal stage, the population of the original global distribution of thousands of Tairan Giants has decreased rapidly for various reasons, and in a short period of time, as the life of the first batch of Tairan Giants is coming to an end, the number of Tairan Giants in the world has suddenly become less than a hundred!

"It's not good, in this way, even the most basic population of the tribe can't be satisfied!"

Priest's face grimaced, and he realized that his journey to the game was likely to end because of something other than combat, and he knew what he was doing wrong.

- The huge body represents a huge need for food, the powerful power represents the desire to reproduce underneath, and the cocoon's unique and hidden way of survival, let alone mating, it is difficult for the Tairan giants who need to disperse and forage for food to get together.

You must know that the cocoon of poise during mating can be said to be the only time in your life that it will leave the elemental shell and appear weak, although the size of the twelve meters is large, it is not invincible, and there are other creatures that can hunt them at this time. Therefore, if there is no absolutely safe area, the cocoon will not reproduce.

Originally, the tribal stage was the stage that required racial cooperation, but now that Priss specifically said that cooperation, even enough people could not be gathered, and they could not afford the heavy burden of food when a large number of calm giants were together...... It is not surprising that the tribe collapsed in an instant.

"No, there is still salvation!"

But even so, Priest, who already has a deep affection for the Giant of Etude, did not give up...... In the game, era by era, he leads the remnants of the Giants of Grace to gather on a fertile plain by sea, sowing equally large plants of the gods, and occasionally fishing and hunting to ensure that they can survive themselves.

As the leader, Priest led several powerful men to live on a huge mountain, where he forged an absolutely safe and stable defense, where he urged his people to have more children and increase the number of offspring......

With the passage of time, with the efforts of Priest, the number of giants gradually stabilized at about 100 people, among which the most powerful eleven Tyran Giants, following the leader of the Thunder Giants controlled by Priest, lived in the castle on the top of the mountain, ruling over all the other Tyrant Giants.

Their names are called the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' by the other weak intelligent beings on this continent.

All in all, with Priest almost kicking the ass of other giants and desperately urging reproduction and leaving offspring, he stumbled through the 'tribe' stage, leading a group of small subordinate races on the continent that didn't know when they appeared, and it was estimated that they were originally designed as enemies in the tribal era, and entered the 'civilization' stage.

[Confirmed-Celestial Civilization-You have entered the era of civilization!] 】

But that's the end of it.

As the civilization stage entered the middle stage, the temple of the Titan Giant was being built around the world, and the Chaos invaders from the other world began to appear, Priest immediately understood that his game was probably coming to an end here.

——The mighty, surging Chaos Clan Corps is not something that a few, dozens, hundreds of powerful giants can resist at all, what is needed is a complete, powerful, self-system, and a large population, with many strong 'civilizations', in order to truly resist a strong enemy!

Although the strength of the Titan Giants is strong, but the number is too small, although each individual has the power of the golden high level after training, among which the individual called the 'Heavenly God' has the power of the Extreme Intention Level, but in the face of millions of Chaos Clans, they are still completely submerged, and then destroyed.

You can see that the temple of the Giant of Grace was destroyed, the demonic fire of sin ignited the sacred mountain, and the huge giants fell one after another, and finally turned into dirt and dust.

And as the last Calm Giant in the Last Line of Defense, that is, the Thunder Giant controlled by Priest, also died, a dark black and red curtain enveloped the whole world.

[Game Failure - The Civilization of the Celestial Gods Has Fallen]

When he saw these four big characters appear, Joshua was not surprised at all—because this was the reason why the transcendent race called the 'Giant of Etude', stored in the crystal obelisk, had become extinct in the past.

Too much power and too low a fertility rate have stifled the development of civilization and technology, and by the time the invaders have captured and destroyed them all, they have just learned how to build houses.

And this technique was only learned by observing ordinary races who regarded them as gods.

"Priest did a good job, at least he didn't forget to develop technology, but he still didn't resist the temptation of power."

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but shake his head: "Actually, he has another choice - if he doesn't spend so much time on the race, but focuses on the strength of his character and makes it rise to the legendary level, then even if the Otherworldly Chaos Clan invades, he alone can repel it." ”

As funny as it may sound, there are times when it comes to a transcendent civilization that it is not necessary to force equality for all...... Because most of the time, the emergence of an out-of-specification powerhouse is more important to the improvement of the entire civilization than the progress of a certain technology.

At the very least, a legendary powerhouse can delay enough time to wait for the progress of civilization as a whole to emerge under the invasion of a strong enemy.

In Joshua's setting, the fourth stage of 'civilization' is the dividing line between hardcore and amateur.

In the fourth stage of 'civilization', all player-controlled civilizations will encounter different invasions of the Otherworldly Chaos Clans, and players can choose to be heroes and resist the invasion of darkness on their own, or they can choose to be leaders, reform the system, develop technology, and fight a real war with the Otherworldly Chaos Clans with the size of the entire civilization.

This is also part of the Clash of Civilizations.

"However, although it has not been opened, since it has reached the fourth stage, even if it fails, it is not without gain."

Joshua turned his head to look at the light curtain of other games - at this time, the number of people online in the game was close to seven thousand, and I think that some hesitant closed beta players also started to play after hesitating for a while, but among all players, there have been 5,800 failures, genocide, and civilization overthrow.

Of these, the vast majority were exterminated in the strife of the tribal era, and only one-fifth of them were destroyed by the chaos of the other world in the civilization stage.

So far, except for Lolanda and others, who are still struggling to support themselves in the civilization stage and fight against the chaos of the other world, basically all players have been wiped out.

"There will be surprises." The warrior smiled at the half-dark screen and whispered to himself.

……

Moldavian territory, southern outer city.

In his room, Priest woke up violently.

"I ...... The castle was attacked by the Chaos Legion...... I failed......"

In his mind, he was still immersed in the scene of his defeat in battle and the collapse of the entire civilization, but soon, Priest realized that he had left the game and returned to reality.

“…… What a thrilling adventure...... I didn't expect that even if it was simplified in 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 in his heart, even to the point of distress, the rational Priest still slowly breathed a sigh of relief...... After all, the consequences of all this, including the final defeat, were his choice.

Of course, he had already sensed the reason for the demise of the Giant of Tranquility - it all stemmed from his greed and forced his race to load the gigantic gene, if he didn't have that gigantic gene, then with the strength and fertility of the Cocoon of Tranquility, which was not weak, and could be regarded as a decent fertility, at least it would not be worn to death by the Chaos Legion.

The first element of civilization is indeed not individual strength, but population!

In addition to the heartache caused by the failure of the game, Priest firmly remembered this point - he will definitely not make this mistake again the next time he plays!

"Next time, be sure to ...... Huh?! ”

Priest rolled over and got out of bed, ready to go and call Sur to prepare dinner for the family, but when his foot touched the floor, he suddenly exclaimed, and then reached out to touch his head: "Strange...... Why did my mental strength suddenly increase a lot? ”

"And, in my head...... How could there be a battle method of the Calm Giant controlling the elemental battle?! ”

Fantastic!

And just when Priest was in doubt, some players in the entire world, all corners, had cleared the third and fourth stages of the conflict, and the players of the continent exclaimed one after another.

They also felt an increase in their mental power, and all players who cleared the fourth stage gained some of the civilizations they controlled, and the skills they mastered in the game! And all of these skills can be used in reality!

It sounds strange and strange, but in reality, it's nothing.

Because this is the reward system that Joshua has arranged for the game of the Continent of Discord.

When the game of Clash Continent reaches the third stage and at least one civilization strife is resolved, players will be able to clear a part of Joshua's chaotic resentment, so that she can unravel some of the constrained computing power and suppress divinity. And for the warrior who is a soul burner, dissolving chaos itself can gain a part of the power.

Through the magic net, Joshua directly transmitted part of the power obtained by dissolving chaos to the corresponding players, and players who cleared the third stage can get more or less feedback from mental or physical strength.

And after going through the fourth stage, players who have fought directly with the Chaos Legion are equivalent to directly fighting the Chaos Memories in Joshua's mind, and as a reward, they can naturally learn some corresponding skills and knowledge from the countless civilization-destroying databases that Joshua has mastered.

"It's not just a game."

Looking at the light curtain that had all dimmed, Joshua's data projection slowly dissipated - the wizarding civilization controlled by Lolanda was too single because of its extraordinary power, and at the end of the civilization stage, when facing three otherworldly chaos legions at the same time, it 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 Discord Continent playing the game, and only a small number of newcomers who have only joined now are ready to start.

In reality, both Lolanda and Priest noticed that they had become stronger, the former raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a smile, while the latter, surrounded by Sur and his sister, began to stir up the hot game of the newly opened server of the Continent of Strife.

In this regard, Joshua, who had withdrawn from the data space and returned to the Lord's Mansion of Moldavia, did not know, but even if he did, the warrior was not surprised.

Because they have experienced a lot in the spiritual world, they can fully afford this power - they can also become stronger by playing games, and it is not a lie for the continent of discord.

And he can also take this opportunity to silently hand over the essence of many civilizations to the people of the McLov civilization through the game.

It's not just a game.
