Having resolved the infighting of his tribe for the time being, Roland the Holy Knight slowly led the silver sorcerers in the game, consolidating power and quickly prosper to hence expand over the entire world, setting the stage in advance of the fourth phase 'Civilization'.
Meanwhile, the 'element-friendly cell' that Priest controlled had just cleared the 'Spore' phase to enter the 'Creature' phase.
Naturally, the game could not relive the full billion-year long process where life evolved and developed, nor how creatures and civilization take each stepped forward. However, Continental War was developed to the point that it was virtually reality—to Priest, at least, the game was considered genuine.
