Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded
#232 - The Eight Sages, the Inspired Ones, the Immortal Saints
The cultivator who came to deliver the message had barely finished speaking when Shen玥, suddenly awakened, turned to stare at the man beside her.
She clearly wanted to know Lin Feng's choice.
She hoped he would refuse the meeting with Li Mingquan of the Li family and instead heed the Bishop's reminder and go to the church.
After all, the purpose of her being assigned here was to prevent Lin Feng from making mistakes, especially concerning the Oasis Key he possessed, which was not to be lost.
After a few seconds of consideration, Lin Feng nodded and said:
"Alright, I'll go to the church immediately. Remember to inform the Li family's people outside that I'm not available at noon. If they want to meet, tell them to come in the afternoon."
Having already experienced some mental overload and energy drain from acquiring a large amount of information and engaging in brainstorming deductions, Lin Feng closed the heavy Holy Spring Sutra, stood up, and prepared to leave.
The books in the library were church secrets and could not be borrowed or taken out; they could only be read within the library.
So, Lin Feng stuffed the Holy Spring Sutra back into the neglected corner at the bottom of the bookshelf.
Then, he followed the cultivator who had come to deliver the message and left the library where he had spent three hours.
Shen玥 rubbed her eyes, immediately got up, and followed.
The three of them left the hidden underground library, arrived at the church area on the top floor, and entered the cathedral.
Outside the hall, the cultivator stopped and turned back:
"The main hall is now closed. Except for the Bishop, the priests, and you, no one else is allowed to enter without permission."
Lin Feng hummed in acknowledgment and looked at the two early-stage Tier 1 combat priests guarding the gate. They had the strength of level thirteen evolution, enough to stop ordinary mid-stage evolvers.
This place was now an important checkpoint.
After all, the command control room leading to the Oasis Central was accessed through a secret passage under the cathedral's podium.
This extremely hidden passage was only known to the highest levels of the Oasis warship.
Such as the Li family's patriarch, Li Hao, and the Hunting Wilderness Guild's president, Xu Wanfeng.
They lived in the Oasis year-round and were probably responsible for guarding these secret passages.
Lin Feng looked back at Shen玥, nodded to her, and then pushed open the door and entered.
The empty hall was silent.
Behind the main podium, the beautiful glass carvings reflected beams of light.
Looking again at the church emblem on the glass pattern, with a circular manhole cover as the base, the blurred image of the Holy Spring Lord was engraved in the middle, surrounded by the Eight Sages, the eight beings who initially followed the Holy Spring Lord and became Tier 3 Kings.
The Holy Spring Lord was in the center of the well, and the Eight Sages were distributed around the eight squares.
This was the main structure of the Holy Spring Church emblem, with other decorations or modifications varying.
For example, the holy wall in the small church in Holy Spring Village that Lin Feng had seen was relatively simple, just a circle of different colored thorn flowers and the Holy Spring Church's organizational badge.
But the cathedral's emblem was more refined.
Even including the Holy Spring Lord's growth experience.
The important events recorded in the Holy Spring Sutra were all depicted on it, including the Holy Spring Lord's first step on land, and being supported by a large number of survivors and Wastelanders to become the Lord of Zhumacheng City, and so on.
And on the outermost ring, gold leaves were used as decoration, pure gold leaves, pure gold vines, inlaid in the glass, refracting sunlight and shining brightly.
Before, Lin Feng was just an outsider and couldn't see the intricacies of the church emblem, but now, after reading half of the Holy Spring Sutra, he could understand its deeper meaning.
For example, after the Holy Spring Lord became a god, his portrait no longer appeared in the world, and even if there were portraits, their faces were deliberately blurred.
Lin Feng guessed it was to maintain the mystery of the gods.
Not to reveal their true form to all beings.
So, although everyone was grateful to the Holy Spring Lord, probably only the Tier 3 Bishops, or some gifted Tier 2 priests, truly knew or understood the Lord.
Lin Feng had heard Priest Su An mention that during the Tier 2 qualitative evolution, the secondary awakening trial of abilities, if one was very close to the Holy Spring power, one could see the Holy Spring Lord in the spiritual world.
To admire and meet the real Holy Spring Lord.
Equivalent to the two meeting across time and space through gene arrangement information.
This was very important, not only because of the powerful strength brought by the dual abilities, but also the significance of being close to the Holy Spring power.
It meant having a greater chance of breaking through the third stage to become a Bishop, and in the future, growing into a Tier 3 late-stage Church Saint.
The church called the Tier 3 late-stage Heavenly Kings the Saints closest to the Lord, and the leader among them was the Undying Saint, who now served as the God's Envoy.
The God's agent, the actual manager of the church.
However, although there were many God-Inspired people, the number of Tier 3 Bishops and Saints in the church grew slowly.
Don't look at the Holy Spring Church recruiting talents from all over the world, and having God-Inspired people with the qualifications and talents to advance to Tier 3, if there were not a hundred, there were eighty or ninety...
But their internal competition was equally fierce.
After all, the times were developing, and the once mysterious and powerful evolution had been completely analyzed, and even industrialized mass cultivation of evolvers could be achieved.
An invincible Tier 3 existence might be famous in the Wasteland, but within the top large forces, although it had not reached the point where Kings were as common as dogs, it was not rare.
For example, the Holy City directly under Oasis Town had seven Tier 3 Bishops of different levels.
In fact, what limited the number of Tier 3 existences was not the difficulty of evolution, but the limited resources.
This had been a dead end that had plagued major forces as early as the Old Era Dark Age six thousand years ago.
So much so that the War of the Gods that ended the Old Era was because all parties had expanded and developed to their limits, and could only continue to allow the gods behind them to constantly improve their strength and transform into true gods through mutual plunder.
In this God-Birth Era, the problem of limited resources still plagued all forces.
It was only because the gods had fallen into a long sleep and did not need to constantly absorb more resources that the top forces could have a chance to breathe.
But that was all, it only prevented large-scale wars between top forces, small-scale friction, and battles between ordinary first-class forces were still fierce.
Therefore, within the church, often the spot of a Tier 3 Bishop would attract competition from many parties.
For example, the current acting Bishop of Oasis, Zhang Hui, also participated in the election for the seventh Bishop in the Holy City, and after failing, was assigned to the harsh frontier.
He could only spend the rest of his life in the palm-sized Oasis Town, frustrated.
Fortunately, Bishop Zhang Hui did not give up, but did his best to recruit people like the Li family to station here using investment promotion methods, so that Oasis Town developed to its current level in just a few hundred years.
Although restricted by environmental conditions, the scale and quality of Oasis Town were not comparable to those of the medium-sized settlements in front, but as long as it advanced a thousand kilometers, away from the Lieyang Forbidden Zone and the direct sunlight of Lieyang...
Then, its current industrial scale and overall size will rapidly increase, forming a top-tier medium-sized settlement with a population of 100,000.
This would barely be enough to support a Tier 3 Bishop.
This is the real reason behind the current scramble for Oasis Town.
Among them, Bishop Zhang Hui is the most miserable.
He built Oasis Town from scratch, but just as he was about to enjoy the fruits of his labor, a group of people came to take them away.
Unable to resist, the Bishop ultimately had to choose the least damaging option, returning Oasis Town, which had been developing for eight or nine hundred years, to the Holy City.
To the hands of the opponent who had defeated him and squeezed him out in the first place.
Fortunately, over the years, Zhang Hui had left some backup plans.
Father Su An is his successor.
Father Su An is also a Divinely Inspired person who received enlightenment from the Lord of the Holy Spring during his Tier 2 cross-tier evolution and possesses two supernatural abilities.
This is why he can travel the wasteland as a clergyman. Although his combat ability cannot compare with that of a Holy Temple Knight of the same tier, ordinary Tier 2 Evolvers are no match for him.
The Lord of the Holy Spring demonstrated an astonishing talent for survival as early as the Dark Age of the Old Calendar, and after He became a God, the ability of His physical genes was further enhanced.
A Divinely Inspired person who has seen the true form of the Lord of the Holy Spring and inherited His supernatural abilities is not comparable to ordinary Evolvers.
Even Lin Feng has no chance to meet God.
The latest chapters are available on 69shu.com!
Zong Shiyue, this anomaly, doesn't count.
That being said, Chen Shanshan under Lin Feng is a being with extremely high evolutionary potential.
After all, she has a strong blood relationship with the Night Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Northern Polar Eternal Night Empire.
As a Divine Child, she awakened the extremely rare Dark Domain supernatural ability. Even Lin Feng is not confident that he can survive Chen Shanshan's unpredictable assassination.
In the Church, as long as Divinely Inspired people are provided with sufficient resources, they can basically advance to the third stage.
Unfortunately, resources are limited, and the quotas are precious.
Those who regrettably fail to be selected can only spend agonizing millennia in remorse.
However, after successfully competing to become a Bishop, there will be a third trial challenge during the Tier 3 cross-tier evolution.
And this time, if one can see the complete form of the Lord of the Holy Spring and communicate with the Lord of the Holy Spring, gaining His approval...
They can become a key training target of the highest level of the Church and be granted the identity of a Holy Son.
Their own strength can withstand one-thousandth of the divine power from the Lord, and there is a chance to evolve and grow to the late stage of Tier 3, becoming one of the Holy Ones of the Holy See.
Lin Feng hasn't seen these contents yet, but he roughly understood them in the Old Calendar chapter, from the introduction of the notes of the original Eight Sages.
The strength of the Eight Sages is different, and not all of them became Tier 3 late-stage Holy Ones.
But as the first to follow the Lord, receive the Lord's guidance, and embark on the path of Holy Spring evolution, they are equivalent to the founding fathers of the Holy Spring Church, with a lofty status.
Among them is the current Immortal Saint.
As early as thousands of years ago, when the Gods had not yet fallen asleep, he advanced to become a Tier 3 late-stage Saint with the merit of destroying a country.
Now, in the millennial year of the wasteland, it is rumored that the strength of this Immortal Saint is infinitely close to God.
Only in this way can the Holy Spring Church, with its relatively backward technology, contend with the Giant Enterprise Alliance in the north, which fully inherits the technology of the old era, on the wasteland.
Becoming one of the two strongest forces.
However, on the side of both major forces, there is a large force, so both sides are still relatively restrained and have not completely torn their faces.
After all, the Kings' Alliance and the Eternal Night Empire are also eyeing the two top forces that now occupy the most fertile and favorable territories from 30 to 50 degrees north latitude.
Once these two families are both defeated, they will pounce fiercely and tear off a large piece of meat.
Relatively speaking, the Giant Enterprise Alliance is under greater pressure, after all, the Eternal Night Empire has a new God, and although the scale of the force is not large, it is a whole.
Unlike the Kings' Alliance in the south, which is just a loose alliance of kings.
Both the Holy Spring Church and the Giant Enterprise Alliance are also worried about being attacked by the other side while cleaning up their backyards, resulting in a situation of being attacked from both sides.
So this delicate balance has continued until the present, thousands of years later.
But through understanding of history, Lin Feng believes that this delicate balance will not last too long.
Because the basis of the balance is the slumber of the Gods, and the power of the Tier 3 existences on both sides is equal, and there are no factors that break the balance.
When Lin Feng fulfills his promise to Zong Shiyue and releases this once half-step transcendent being, the current Aberrant Evil God...
It will inevitably break the current balance of power...
Triggering the second dark turmoil that will sweep the entire wasteland era!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly felt that the current struggle for Oasis Town was nothing.
Then he withdrew his gaze from the glass carving, from the portrait of the Immortal Saint above the Lord of the Holy Spring, turned around and pressed the mechanism in the podium to open the secret passage.
Entering the passage, closing the secret door, he walked towards the command control room located deep inside.
Soon, Lin Feng arrived at his destination.
At this moment, outside the titanium tungsten alloy gate, only one of the two combat archpriests originally stationed here remained.
He was wearing a set of exquisitely crafted power armor.
Very different from the general model, the white paint shows the identity of the Holy Spring Church, the structure is more slender, without a bulky and burly feeling.
But he was holding a tungsten alloy spear in his hand, the tip of the spear was extremely sharp, enough to pierce the armor of a Tier 2 early-stage Rock Horse.
The aura emanating from it even made Lin Feng feel a palpitation, indicating that the amplification provided by the armor could allow the Archpriest to threaten him.
Fortunately, the two sides are not hostile.
Lin Feng showed the Oasis Key in his arms, and the Archpriest turned around and began to turn the valve.
This time, he alone turned the valve that required twenty tons of force.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that the technology of the Holy Spring Church is not as backward as it appears on the surface.
What kind of existence is the Giant Enterprise Alliance, which is stronger than the Church's technology?
Maybe they can already build space rockets, or spaceships that escape into space?
When the Savior Army leader Bai Ye evolves into a Tier 3 King, he may go north to seek rocket-related technology.
This guy is determined to escape the harsh wasteland of the three suns in the sky, I don't know if he can succeed.
If he can succeed, I can also have more options.
Upgrade the chariot under his command into an aircraft, and run away directly when encountering the disaster of destruction.
While thinking, the gate in front of Lin Feng slowly opened, and the mind great auxiliary priest stationed here was already standing behind the door, waiting for a long time.
