Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Before the birth of gods, a thousand years of the Old Calendar.

The Heavenly Kings, having reached the end of evolution, spent a thousand years exploring and searching, finding different paths to transcendence, and in this year, took the first step towards becoming gods.

In order to obtain enough resources to achieve their godhood goals, the Kings indiscriminately plundered major settlements, and a great war sweeping across the wasteland gradually spread.

And as the forces collided, it intensified, the wasteland entered an era of national warfare, the Kings fought each other, plundering each other's life essence, and the forces under their command annexed and merged, forming several large forces with tens of millions of people.

This great war lasted for four hundred years, and the dark turmoil spread to every corner, causing the number of living beings eking out an existence in the wasteland to directly decrease by half.

It was arguably the first mass extinction of life in the wasteland era, and eighty percent of the different evolved races that had originally survived were tragically wiped out, and the diversity of species suddenly decreased sharply.

The war that lasted for four hundred years is historically known as the War of the Divine Dawn.

After gathering half of the living resources, the victorious late-stage Tier 3 Heavenly Kings officially embarked on their respective journeys to godhood.

During this period, they gradually transformed from evolved life forms into gods, gradually developing the eternal and immortal great divinity, and began to transform into gods.

In the following hundred years, the gods behind the various forces entered a period of recuperation, and used the resources they had plundered and collected to continuously strengthen themselves.

And their clansmen also began to multiply and develop during this period of peace.

Among them, especially the surviving humans, through the exploration and tracing of the technologies left over from the old era in the underground shelters, re-mastered various technologies and entered an era of rapid development.

The entire race gradually flourished and rebuilt civilization, seemingly right before their eyes.

This period is also known as the Dawn of the Gods.

Representing the dawn of hope.

But this prosperity was not permanent, just as development and expansion were not forever. When it reached a certain level, it would fall into a period of stagnation.

Because the existing living space had been fully developed and utilized, and at this time, it would touch the upper limit of development and expansion.

At this time, the forces under the command of the gods, after a hundred years of unrestrained expansion and development, had all reached a bottleneck period.

The living space within their respective spheres of influence had been filled, and the resources that could be sacrificed and offered to the gods were also saturated.

But the appetite of the gods would not decrease because of the stable supply from their subordinates.

When the gods' demand became more and more旺盛, and the development of the forces was遏制 by other forces, a great war was naturally inevitable.

Moreover, because of the existence of the gods, the intensity and scope of this war would be far more cruel than the four-hundred-year War of the Divine Dawn.

At this point, a dark period of five hundred years was quietly beginning with escalating frictions.

In this period, the gods rose together...

Unveiling the chapter of the War of the Gods.

It is also the Lord of the Holy Spring,

The war to become a god when he officially ascends to the throne!

Lin Feng, outside the book, felt his eyes sore. He had been immersed in the world of the book for more than three hours, reading a full two hundred pages of content.

In order to save space and layout, the characters on the Holy Spring Sect were very small, only three or four millimeters in size, and a page was filled with about five thousand characters.

It was equivalent to reading one million words in three hours.

Even reading a novel wouldn't be this fast. Even if you just skimmed through it, it would take several hours. What's more, Lin Feng had carefully read every year's chronicle, word by word.

Among them, he also had to memorize them all, and deduce the world situation at that time, as well as the causal relationship between the various chronicles, from various events.

Many chronicles seemed independent, but there was some kind of unknown connection between them, even if they were separated by hundreds or thousands of years, and the same characters no longer appeared in the events...

But in the events that happened before, often an action or decision could affect the future hundreds of years later.

When Lin Feng analyzed this level, he did not feel excited because of his enlightenment or sudden realization.

Discovering a certain law or truth does bring a sense of joy of harvest, and the satisfaction brought by exploring the unknown can provide the greatest spiritual pleasure.

But the premise is that this law or truth can bring benefits to oneself or the tribe, or better understand the world in which they live.

And if this discovery is itself some kind of evil conspiracy, or brings disaster...

What it brings to the discoverer is not the satisfaction of harvesting joy, but the inner fear that makes their back chill.

At this moment, Lin Feng was in a state of constant interweaving of these two feelings.

Because by analyzing the thousands of years of history of the Old Calendar, he saw a series of continuous clues, which eventually intertwined and catalyzed various major events.

Like an invisible net, it shrouded the heads of everyone in that era.

Lin Feng didn't feel much about it in the past. After all, human life is limited, and no one can predict what will happen a hundred years later, so the development of history is determined by the people of that era.

This is also the objective reason for the establishment of historical materialism.

The times create heroes, and everything is the result of the development of the situation and the evolution of society.

But what if someone could live to be two hundred years old, five hundred years old, or even thousands of years old?

In such a long period of time, these powerful and experienced beings would inevitably manipulate the situation around them and even the entire world.

Guiding all beings to the ending they have set.

And if this thing can really be realized, then the current wasteland era, and the purgatory on earth in the old calendar, can be traced back to the Evolution Alliance of that year.

A top force composed of a group of Tier 3 Kings.

Representing the supreme existence of the earth.

It is also the will of all living things.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's pupils shrank, and his thoughts and consciousness had been drawn away from the book, and instead, he wholeheartedly speculated on the thoughts in his mind.

If all of the above holds true, then from the final moments of the old era, the extinction crisis triggered by the solar helium flash, to the doomsday of the blazing sun under the Old Calendar shrouded by three suns in the sky…

Everything, very likely, was the work of the Evolutionary Alliance, with them orchestrating everything behind the scenes to achieve their desired outcome.

And this outcome, quite obviously, is to break through the limits of evolution and become an eternal existence.

Which is what is happening in the thousandth year of the Old Calendar.

The War of Gods and Li, the Dawn of the Gods…

And finally, the five-hundred-year-long War of the Gods!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng took a deep breath, and his whole body instantly stood on end, breaking out in goosebumps.

Because if his deduction is correct, then it is clear that the subsequent series of events, including the entire history, is likely a plan of a certain being or organization.

They are manipulating the fate of humanity and even the Earth.

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

And the biggest possibility is that batch of late-stage Tier 3 Heavenly Kings in the Evolutionary Alliance that Zong Shiyue mentioned, who were the first to reach the end of evolution.

Zong Shiyue was originally one of them, but due to his limited strength, he could only become a peripheral existence, equivalent to a henchman manipulating the situation for them.

It's just a pity that later Zong Shiyue also reached that step, gradually transforming into a god above Tier 3.

But at that time, the gods had already completed their transformation, and naturally would not tolerate latecomers dividing their power and living space.

So they designed to destroy Zong Shiyue's path to godhood.

And the reason why the gods initially allowed the Wasteland Wolf clan to rampantly conquer territories and massacre settlements in the wasteland was likely deliberate indulgence, so that the Wolf King could grow to the Tier 3 limit and shoulder the important task of polluting the path to godhood.

Lin Feng suddenly felt that Zong Shiyue was a bit pitiful, striving hard, fighting desperately, becoming a king who dominated one side in the Old Earth era, and then lurking for tens of thousands of years, just to break through the limits of evolution…

In the end, he was just one step away, but he was framed by the gods, and all his efforts were in vain.

After silently mourning for Zong Shiyue for a second, Lin Feng quickly collected his thoughts and refocused his attention on the Holy Spring Scripture in his hand, and the Lord of the Holy Spring.

If there is artificial manipulation behind everything, then the Lord of the Holy Spring is either one of them, or He is an anomaly in the plan.

It's just a pity that the Holy Spring Scripture at this moment is already the seventh revised edition. The introduction of the Lord of the Holy Spring in the first chapter, especially the chapter on origins, uses extremely concise wording and deliberately glosses over this extremely important past.

For the first time, Lin Feng turned the Holy Spring Scripture to the very first page, looking for traces of the Lord of the Holy Spring.

He confirmed again that it only introduced the birth of the Lord, who awakened from the underground shelter in Zhuma City.

After the underground shelter could no longer continue to circulate due to water source problems, the survivors came to the surface and lived in the dilapidated sewers of the Zhuma City ruins in order to avoid the scorching sun.

And at that time, the Lord of the Holy Spring was recorded as just a teenager who was not yet an adult.

Lin Feng did not believe this statement.

Connecting to the chronicle of events later, such an image is easier to gain the trust of the wastelanders, because the survivors who came out of the shelter believed that the new generation was more adapted to the wasteland apocalypse.

They would be able to lead them to survive.

In fact, the Lord of the Holy Spring also did it. His ability at the beginning could only simply manipulate flowing liquids and sense the presence of nearby water sources.

The former was not a very powerful ability, at least during the first awakening in the first stage, at most he could control the flow of blood in his body, or reduce sweating, etc.

But the latter passive ability made the Lord of the Holy Spring, in everyone's eyes, a veritable savior, a chosen one…

In that wild and turbulent era, everyone was cautiously exploring the desert on the surface like babies learning to walk, avoiding the scorching sun.

Countless lives died every day due to overheating and dehydration, and all the liquid in their corpses would become the surplus of other survivors.

In order to survive, drinking urine had become a habit. Everyone would carry portable filters, and even breathing masks and full-body protective suits to ensure that the water vapor and sweat exhaled and evaporated from the breath and skin would re-enter the body after filtration.

But only life-sustaining water sources are not enough. Survival requires energy from food. Humans cannot directly obtain nutrients from sunlight.

Regardless of which cycle, the addition of water is required, or rather the decomposition and synthesis of hydrogen and oxygen elements. In this process, external energy is absorbed and fixed in the form of chemical bonds.

Therefore, the importance of water sources determines both the survival time of an individual and limits the upper limit of the development of a force.

And the ability of the Lord of the Holy Spring, in that era, was almost equivalent to water sources.

But he wouldn't only have this ability. Any ability will only become stronger and stronger after multiple awakenings.

Lin Feng naturally empathized with this.

Otherwise, the Lord of the Holy Spring would never become the master of today's top large forces, but would only be reduced to an ordinary water source detector, disappearing into the long river of history.

When Lin Feng turned to more than two hundred pages, the Lord of the Holy Spring had evolved to the thirty-ninth level Heavenly King at the Tier 3 limit, and stepped out of the path to godhood, joining the Dawn of the Gods as a member, His control over water had evolved to be omnipotent.

Even with just a thought, he could extract all the liquid in the body of a Tier 3 King, including the cell fluid in every cell.

In the eyes of others, they could see the target of the divine thought descending, forcibly extracting all the liquid from their body, the source essence full of evolutionary cells, and then peeling it into a ball of Holy Spring rich in source essence, and a dry, dehydrated husk.

The visual impact brought by this strange and terrifying divine power was even stronger than spatial cutting.

Because during the stripping process, the target's consciousness was still clear, and they could clearly feel their body boiling up, uncontrollably extracting blood and cell fluid.

In the end, only a skin-and-bones corpse was left.

As if it had undergone thousands of years of weathering.

However, in the eyes of the Lord of the Holy Spring's believers, this was actually educating evildoers, leading them to the Lord of the Holy Spring's kingdom of heaven.

Although in a sense, it is so…

But Lin Feng felt a little creepy just looking at the recorded words, let alone those who witnessed it with their own eyes.

It was also because of the Lord of the Holy Spring's ability that rapidly improved after becoming a god, that the Holy Spring Church established under his command also became one of the strongest forces in the era of the Dawn of the Gods.

Lin Feng was just about to finish reading the subsequent content, to understand the chronicle of the War of the Gods, and find clues about the Lord of the Holy Spring not being a new generation of the wasteland…

A voice then sounded in his ear:

"Chief Lin, Bishop said that the time has come, you should go to the church to pray."

"Also, someone just came from outside, asking us to inform you that the village chief of Nongzhuang Village, Li Mingquan, is seeking an audience, hoping to meet with you in the Upper Citizen District."

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Shen Yue suddenly woke up.
