Finally, it is the Soul of Civilization.

This is the trace of existence formed by a civilization in the river of time.

When a civilization is devoured by the Monument Forest, its history, culture, art, philosophy... and the life trajectories of countless individuals will be compressed into a special "Rule Spirit Essence."

This essence possesses the trait of self-continuation; even though the civilization has perished, its soul core will continue to evolve within a warrior's body.

To put it simply, a perished civilization will continue to evolve within the Civilization Warrior.

For instance, when a Civilization Warrior is born, the initial weapon in their hand is a Stone Axe from the stone age.

When the "Civilization Rules" provide nourishment to the Civilization Warrior, the warrior's strength will continue to advance according to the current civilization's development process, with stone weapons potentially turning into a bronze battleaxe, then into an Iron Axe... continuing to advance according to the predetermined trajectory of the civilization.

The decomposition display indicates that each Civilization Warrior also has an adaptive growth ability.

They will develop targeted growth based on the characteristics of their current opponent, using the wisdom, culture, history, and other aspects of their own civilization as a foundation.

For example, during the Ancient Earth Era, to decipher the German Army's code, Turing created the bomb decoder machine.

To vie for air supremacy, the jet engine was introduced earlier... .

This is the evolutionary growth of civilization based on existing foundations to respond to crises.

Among them, there are two ways for Civilization Rules to produce resources.

The first method is the universal devouring growth possessed by various forces in Monster World.

By utterly destroying the opposing civilization through warfare, it transforms into nourishment for civilization growth, allocated by those who control the Civilization Rules to different civilizations.

The second method is to sacrifice civilization in a way consistent with Rule Logic, then generate a new Civilization Warrior in the monument forest.

The decomposition shows that the controllers behind the Civilization Rules are a force named the "Monument Abyss Clan."

The specific name is complex, and as interpreted by the decomposition, it roughly means: the monument forest is like an abyss, burying countless civilizations.

The monument symbolizes that this clan uses tombstones as a medium to sacrifice and devour civilizations.

The abyss symbolizes that the true nature of this clan is the return to the ruins of civilization, with all devoured civilizations ultimately sinking into their rule abyss.

The decomposition refines the relevant information on this clan, automatically in the introduction distilling hundreds of characters to translate as: Monument Abyss Clan.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit currently encountered is merely a node of influence arranged by the Monument Abyss Clan within Monster World.

The lantern held by the aged silhouette is merely a manifestation of a rule imprint.

But unlike the Black Tide System, which deploys a vast number of Evil Spirit Warriors to Monster World, the Monument Abyss Clan deploys only their finest core forces, far fewer in number than the Black Tide.

Each Monument Abyss Clan warrior deployed externally carries a Rule Imprint.

It's akin to the random deployment trial before graduating from the Reverse Tide Army.

The finest batch of core forces from the Monument Abyss Clan, before formally entering the power system, will also undergo a challenge known as the "Funeral Fire Trial."

The essence of the trial is not merely a test of strength but is a challenge to the Monument Abyss Clan warriors' deep understanding of civilization's essence.

To forge mighty Civilization Warriors, one must continue learning and growing through actual combat.

After all, beasts are not raised in a greenhouse.

With curiosity, Qi Sheng consumed sacrificial power to track down more detailed information about the Monument Abyss Clan.

He discovered that the core members of this group are few in number, but each member receives stronger nourishment of the "Civilization Rules," and the warriors they control can also integrate the strengths of other civilizations to grow.

Every warrior is a living museum of civilization, capable of creating an independent space to segment the battlefield and isolate external interference during combat.

Judging by war potential alone, this is a powerful force not weaker than the Soul Returning Clan.

...

At this moment, war between the Black Tide and the Monument Abyss Clan's "Record Officer" is about to erupt.

Countless Evil Spirits surged from the black mist like a tide, pouring towards the Civilization Warriors, raising hundreds of meters high black tide waves at the edge of the monument forest.

The Plague Series "Bone Winged Demon" covering the sky was the first to take the stage, and each flap of its wings would sprinkle corrosive black scales.

Behind, the Soul Devourer Beast formed by resentment opened its giant mouth, tearing the air into a sharp sonic boom.

Facing forces outside the Player Clan, the Black Tide needed no Catastrophe to lead the charge, displaying only the most primitive devouring instinct, like countless blunt swords simultaneously chopping towards the monument forest.

At the center of the battlefield, the fists of the Civilization Warrior "Bronze Flame Demon" clashed with the black giant axe in the hand of the Doomsday System Evil Spirit "Savageblood."

On the Civilization Warrior's fists was the peak achievement of a civilization's smelting technique, while the axe blade of the Evil Spirit carried the absolute devouring attribute of the Black Tide.

The moment the armies collided, it was as if two civilizations were roaring in the void. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Playing a symphony of black tides and civilization remnants.

At this moment, the Civilization Warriors entered the second mode of warfare.

Facing the endless Black Tide, black holes emerged at the center of their bodies, sucking in a large number of Evil Spirits.

Inside them was an independent space, storing the peak combat power legion of civilization.

War was ignited in both the reality and subspace dimensions simultaneously.

This is one of the strongest abilities of the Monument Abyss Clan in warfare mode.

By using the civilization space within each Civilization Warrior, the battlefield is segmented, forcing the enemy armies to face civilization armies in different modes of warfare.

Since each Civilization Warrior has independent thinking, they can independently assume the role of War Commander, so the Monument Abyss Clan warriors do not need to worry about losing control.

But the enemy commander is evidently unable to fight multiple civilizations simultaneously, struggling to quickly process the massive volume of information.
