Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Upon hearing the still-conscious deity, Lin Feng's mind was immediately blown.

One must know that in the current wasteland wilderness, the grand scene of gods rising together in the past is long gone. Except for occasional displays of divine power by top-tier large factions, gods have almost become legends.

Not only that, even third-tier kings rarely intervene directly now, leaving most matters to second-tier evolutionaries.

Mainly because large factions like the Holy Spring Church and the Giant Enterprise Alliance control most of the wasteland's resources and advanced technology.

Third-tier kings who do not obey orders can only go to more remote and harsh areas to scavenge for leftovers.

And their actions, using third-tier power, are also extremely costly.

Lin Feng is only a second-tier initial-stage evolutionary. A full-power battle would consume at least fifty kilograms of level-20 evolutionary meat, equivalent to fifty thousand points.

A single battle, not counting the consumption and wear of other weapons and equipment, just stimulating this evolutionary body costs fifty thousand points, which is faster than burning money.

Fifty thousand points can buy ten tons of level-9 enhanced meat, which is a year's worth of rations for thirty first-tier initial-stage evolutionaries, or exchange for ten ordinary electric cars.

The consumption of a second-tier initial-stage evolutionary is already so high. If a third-tier king were to act, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of points.

It takes tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a royal city to accumulate enough in a year to afford a third-tier king's action.

Therefore, they rarely reveal their true forms, sitting high above the royal city, staying behind the scenes for a long time, and manipulating the situation.

Thus, over thousands of years, a situation has gradually formed where third-tier kings do not come out, but appoint second-tier evolutionaries as agents to walk the world.

So, even third-tier kings rarely show their faces now, let alone the gods who disappeared and fell into slumber thousands of years ago?

Encountering Zong Shiyue, the loser of the previous era, in the relic forbidden zone had already greatly shocked Lin Feng, especially his incredible methods, which were even more astonishing.

However, Zong Shiyue was not a true god. At best, he was only a demigod who was framed by the gods before completing transcendence, leading to his death and the dissipation of his Dao, leaving behind a mutated body that was contaminated.

His strength has also plummeted, and it would be good if he could even reach the middle stage of the third tier.

Then how powerful should a true god be?

Lin Feng has not yet witnessed the existence above the third tier, but he already has a personal and direct feeling for evolutionaries with the potential to become gods.

That is the two super cannons in his hand.

According to Zong Shiyue's introduction, the Gun King of that year was the third-tier king with the most potential to become a god. The gun skill was also the crystallization of human civilization, integrating the throwing stone mechanism into the genetic instinct.

Even though the latter was besieged and intercepted by the kings and eventually suffered a tragic fall, its influence was quite far-reaching, giving rise to the subsequent proxy plan.

Lin Feng believes that when he advances to the third tier, he can easily suppress other kings with the same-level cannons in his hand.

Just having a god-level potential ability is enough to suppress evolutionaries of the same tier. If he really awakens the ability of a god, and a still-active god…

Its potential and power are probably even better than gun skills!

At this moment, after digesting Zong Shiyue's speculation, Lin Feng suppressed the tension and shock in his heart and slowly replied:

"So, Chen Shanshan's awakened ability is the same as the Night Emperor, the ruler of the Eternal Night Empire, this conscious god?"

The ability gene contained in the ability cell is a segment of the human gene that has been prominently strengthened, changing from recessive to dominant and becoming an externally released characteristic.

So, it is not surprising to awaken the same ability.

Especially in an environment full of genetic radiation, or with a second-tier evolutionary, it will activate the relevant gene segments in the body and awaken the same ability.

The influence of radiation or aura is only one of them.

There are many factors that determine what kind of ability is awakened, including living habits, personality, occupation, and so on.

The most common is the physique-enhancing ability, also known as the berserker, and the very rare ones are energy, mental, and some special types.

Like the mark Lin Feng awakened, it is very special.

And the system's upgrade ability is initially estimated to consume a certain amount of life value to activate a certain ability gene in the body, thereby optimizing items.

As for Chen Shanshan's ability, Lin Feng only knew before that it was also very rare.

The initial perception belonged to the mental type, and the blinding ability officially awakened after evolution is a special energy type, belonging to a mixed ability of body and mind.

These types of abilities are usually very strong, and the physique and mental state will be consumed simultaneously when released.

Like the space ability of Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, it has high potential, but it needs to be deeply developed, and the upper limit can reach the third-tier king level.

There is a certain probability of walking out of one's own evolutionary path and creating a new evolutionary path.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng values Chen Shanshan so much, a subordinate with great potential and loyalty…

Even if her brain is a little stupid, it is worth investing in and cultivating, not to mention that she saved his life back then.

And now, after hearing Zong Shiyue say this, Lin Feng felt that he had underestimated Chen Shanshan. Her potential can not only touch the threshold of the third tier, but she may even have the potential to become a late-stage third-tier heavenly king.

After all, the ability named Dark Domain has been proven to be able to walk out of the path to becoming a god.

Its grade and potential are naturally different from ordinary third-tier abilities.

However, after hearing Lin Feng's question, Zong Shiyue unexpectedly did not give an affirmative answer.

After observing the nearby deep, ink-black Dark Domain, he locked his gaze on a certain place in the darkness.

That is the bed where Chen Shanshan is lying.

"I'm afraid it's not just the same ability. If it were the same ability, it wouldn't be able to do what it's doing now."

"Have you seen other evolutionaries release their internal power to this extent during cross-tier evolution? Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, with an evolutionary level of twenty-nine, when she fought against the third-tier mutated body, the release effect of her space ability was not even half as strong as what's happening now."

"You must know that this Dark Domain is not just shielding perception…"

"Haven't you noticed that the omnipresent sunlight has also been dispelled and erased?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's pupils shrank sharply.

Only then did he realize the horror of the Dark Domain!

After all, the scorching sun curse contained in the sunlight is an energy that even third-tier kings avoid…

But now it can be cleared or suppressed by the Dark Domain.

This obviously shouldn't happen to a first-tier evolutionary. Even a second-tier evolutionary doesn't have the ability to remove the curse from the scorching sun.

Chen Shanshan must have other secrets to be able to do this.

Seeing Lin Feng belatedly react, Zong Shiyue continued:

"What she experienced in the mental trial world of the ability was not the awakening of the ability, but the inheritance…"

"More accurately, it should be inheritance."

"Therefore, when the body passively accepts it, it will overflow with energy fluctuations comparable to the third tier."

Not awakening, but inheritance…

These eight words lingered in Lin Feng's mind for a long time.

Until a few seconds later, he suddenly realized something. When he spoke again, the mental fluctuations he transmitted seemed a little hoarse:

"Are you saying that the reason why Chen Shanshan awakened the same Dark Domain ability as the god Night Emperor is not because of good luck, but because she has some kind of relationship with that god…"

"Is it blood? Or has she been affected by radiation?"

Zong Shiyue's phantom shrugged:

"Then I don't know. After the inheritance is over, you can ask her about her experiences in the wasteland. Maybe a certain relic trip touched something related to the Night Emperor."

"Or…"

"Among her relatives with blood relations, a god above the third tier was born, who is now the ruler of the Eternal Night Empire, the Night Emperor."

"In this way, one can activate and inherit this mature evolutionary path."

"Taking charge of the Eternal Night Dark Domain will make you one of the most promising evolutionaries on the current wasteland."

Hearing this description, Lin Feng felt somewhat uneasy.

According to Chen Shanshan's self-introduction in the past, she had never been to a relic site. At most, she had a first-order evolved master who had gone to a relic site to perform a mission.

And Chen Shanshan had been well-protected before her master disappeared. Only in recent years had she suffered hardship and been reduced to a top-tier wasteland resident.

So, based on this speculation, the Dark Domain ability she inherited was most likely due to the latter.

Could it be that Chen Shanshan's parents are the rulers of the current Eternal Night Empire?

Thinking about it carefully, this is also possible.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Back then, she was stuffed into an underground shelter, and her parents were forced to stay outside because they didn't have a spot.

After that, to survive, they could only go to other shelters that were still under construction. According to Zong Shiyue, there are still several planetary engines in the north, with matching shelters nearby.

Moreover, back then, the Third-Order Night King, as a rising star, did indeed rise in the north and became the founder of the later Eternal Night Empire.

But in that case, Chen Shanshan's birth was long before her parents became gods. At that time, everyone was an ordinary person, at most enhanced humans.

Otherwise, their family would not have been forced to separate because of the limited spots in the shelter.

Humans in that era were ruled by the Evolutionary Alliance. Evolutionaries possessed absolute power and status. Only low-level enhanced humans like Lin Feng needed to work themselves to death for a spot to escape and survive.

Lin Feng was alone, and he didn't have to worry about feeding his family. But Chen Shanshan's family had at least three people. Even if her father did his best to build the shelter, he could only get one entry spot.

The phenomenon of abandoning one's family was commonplace at that time, but there were also many couples who were willing to leave hope for their descendants, while they went to other areas to continue making a living.

Therefore, Chen Shanshan's personality was also influenced by this aspect, and she did not go to extremes, still maintaining a certain degree of kindness.

She was protected by her parents in the past, and cared for by her master after awakening in the wasteland. In the end, she used this kindness to save Lin Feng, obtaining the best reward in history.

It's just that the reward for saving her life now seems to be turning into a return to Lin Feng.

A genius with the potential to reach the late stage of the Third Order,

And has an unclear and inexplicable connection with the Night Emperor, a god who is still conscious in the north…

This will be an unparalleled help to Lin Feng's path to transcendence.

It's just that before this, Lin Feng still needs to confirm something. After all, Chen Shanshan is not a second-generation wasteland resident. She didn't have a god-like relative back in the Old Earth period.

So Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked:

"Can this kind of bloodline inheritance affect blood relatives before they become gods?"

"I don't know about Chen Shanshan's experience in the wasteland, but she shouldn't have encountered anything related to the God Night Emperor, because before I met her, she was just a small enhanced human. If she really had a connection with a god, could an ordinary flesh and blood body withstand it?"

"But she is a human from the Old Earth period. Back then, the God Night Emperor had just been promoted to the Third Order and become the rising star Night King…"

Zong Shiyue smiled and looked around.

At this time, the Dark Domain energy filling the entire Wolf Armor chariot was gradually dissipating, and the intrusion of sunlight could be vaguely felt from the edge of the darkness.

"The inheritance is about to end."

"I'll make it short, otherwise the Lieyang energy spilling in will consume a lot of my spiritual body."

"You have already learned about the relevant evolutionary powers, and you should know that evolutionaries themselves do not need to ensure their own continuation through reproduction."

"But in the Second Order evolutionary process, because of the disappearance of consciousness, they will establish their own bloodline clan, such as the Li family in Oasis Town."

"At this time, only the direct descendants of evolutionaries can inherit the bloodline in their bodies, which is equivalent to directly possessing the same evolutionary cells, only at a lower level."

"And when a Second Order evolutionary dies, his descendants, as long as their level has not fallen too much below his, can theoretically inherit the evolutionary level of their elders through transplantation, leading the clan to continue to survive."

"This is very common among evolved wasteland beasts."

"And among the descendants of the clan, there is also a chance that some with outstanding talents will be born, becoming new Second Order evolutionary bodies."

"This is why many beast groups can continue to thrive."

"Now that I've finished talking about the Second Order, let's talk about the higher-level Third Order existence. As a Third Order king, he has already solved the problem of consciousness decay and inability to exist for a long time. His body and spirit can be immortal, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years, no problem at all."

"But at this time, the problem also arises. Third Order kings need to absorb a lot of energy and consume countless resources to maintain their own existence."

"They themselves are a huge negative entropy aggregate, like a burning power furnace. Only by constantly adding fuel can they maintain their own strength."

"At this time, procreating and establishing a large force is to more efficiently extract the required energy from the environment, which is equivalent to cultivating a group of miners."

"Many tasks that are not cost-effective because they require more effort than gain are left to their subordinates to do."

"A Third Order king needs at least a city to support their free movement, without having to worry about the food needed to continue survival."

"And their descendants are also called royal descendants. Thanks to the existence of gene radiation, direct royal descendants can easily advance to the Second Order."

"As long as the city lord who claims the title of king can go one step further and evolve to the middle or even late stage of the Third Order, as a royal descendant, after obtaining the approval of the father king, they can also advance to the Third Order and become a king."

"All of the above effects only take effect on descendants after evolution. Even the gene radiation of a Third Order king can only affect previous relatives after close-range radiation, and the effect is far less than that of descendants born by the king."

"But for gods above the Third Order, even if they are not blood relatives born after they became gods, as long as the divine descendant has that segment of genes with god-level potential in their body, they can also receive the blessing of the gods."

"When a god becomes a god, they have already become a unique existence. The origin they condense is unique and cannot be copied."

"As long as they are related to them by blood, they will inevitably accept their inheritance. This is information engraved in that segment of genes."

"The bloodline will never end, and the inheritance will never die."

"Divine descendants are the extension of the power of the gods."

"Walking the path of the shepherd is actually just a larger Third Order king."

"In order to solve the problem of their own food and energy sources, they want to enslave the entire human race, squeeze the entire planet, and use endless resources to support themselves."

"Absorb all evolutionary paths and integrate them into one."

"And Chen Shanshan, as a relative of the Night Emperor, is likely to be a direct bloodline. One day, she will return as a divine descendant to help the Night Emperor become the Lord of All Beings, the King of Kings!"

"However, before that, the Night Emperor will inevitably have to go into a long sleep, and the entire ancient and vast empire will also be handed over to the most trusted descendants by their side…"

Speaking of this, the Wolf Armor chariot became brighter and brighter, and Zong Shiyue's figure became more and more blurred and dim.

The Dark Domain energy gradually disappeared, returning to the girl's body.

Zong Shiyue turned to look at Chen Shanshan, leaving a meaningful sentence:

"Perhaps she still has the opportunity to serve as the regent empress of the Eternal Night Empire…"

"You should grasp it well."
