Shen Hao actually had no evidence; his current doubts were truly just that—doubts—even intuition could not fully describe them.
Because one thing was already clear and certain.
That was, the Civilization Trial System itself must have issues!
There were too many contradictions.
Just looking at the surface, whether it was the Chosen One system, the Civilization Mall system, or even the ranking rewards and so on, all encouraged Trial Civilizations to strive against the trials, constantly enhancing their own strength, foundation, and even their internal systems.
This was not as simple as throwing a few bones to a pet dog; it was genuinely cultivating them.
On the other hand, the difficulty of the trials had completely lost its nurturing purpose. In most cases, civilizations could not successfully pass the trials through mere effort.
Even a powerful civilization like the Contract Spirit Civilization had suffered heavy losses in this trial.
