Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 465 - 231: Eight Saints, Person of Divine Revelation, Undying Saint

Chapter 465: Chapter 231: Eight Saints, Person of Divine Revelation, Undying Saint

In the Holy City directly under Oasis Town, there exist seven different levels of Tier Three Bishops.

In reality, what limits the number of Tier Three entities is not the difficulty of evolution, but the scarcity of resources.

This has been a deadlock troubling major forces as far back as six thousand years ago during the Old Calendar’s Dark Era.

That’s why the War of the Gods that ended the Old Calendar occurred because expansion by each party had reached its limit, and only through mutual plundering could the gods behind them continuously enhance their strength and transform into True Gods.

In the current Divine Birth Era, the problem of limited resources still troubles various forces.

It’s just that because all gods are in long slumber and don’t need to absorb more resources, top-tier forces have a slight respite.

But that is all; it only prevents large-scale wars between top-tier forces. Small regional friction and battles among ordinary first-class forces remain intense.

Thus, within the Church, typically a Tier Three Bishop’s position will attract competition from multiple parties.

For instance, the current acting Lord Bishop of Oasis, Zhang Hui, also once participated in the election for the seventh bishop in the Holy City; after failing, he was sent to the harsh frontiers.

He could only spend the rest of his life, wasting away in a small place like Oasis Town.

Fortunately, Bishop Zhang Hui didn’t succumb to despair; instead, he did his utmost to use investment and recruit forces like the Li Family to guard the Oasis, allowing it to develop to its current state in just a few centuries.

Although due to environmental restrictions, Oasis Town’s scale and quality cannot match those medium-sized settlements, as long as they advance a thousand kilometers to avoid the direct sunlight of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area...

Its current industrial scale and overall size will rapidly grow, forming a top-tier medium-sized settlement of one hundred thousand people.

Only then will it barely be able to support the presence of a Tier Three Bishop.

This is the real purpose behind various forces contending for Oasis Town now.

The one most distressed among them is Lord Bishop Zhang Hui.

Oasis Town was built by his hands, and just as he was about to enjoy the fruits of his labor, a group came to reap the benefits.

The powerless bishop ultimately had to choose the lesser loss, handing back Oasis Town, developed for eight to nine hundred years, to the Holy City.

To the hands of those who defeated and displaced him back then.

Fortunately, over the years, Zhang Hui wasn’t without backup plans.

Father Su An was his chosen successor in spirit.

Moreover, Father Su An was also a Person of Divine Revelation, once enlightened by the Master of the Holy Spring during a Tier Jump Evolution at Tier Two, possessing two superpowers.

This is why, although he holds the clerical title of priest, he can travel the Wilderness on adventures; even though his fighting ability can’t compare with Temple Knights of the same rank, no ordinary Tier Two Evolver could match him.

The Master of the Holy Spring already exhibited incredible survival abilities during the old Dark Era, and upon becoming a god, the ability of their physical genes improved further.

Someone who has seen the true form of the Master of the Holy Spring and inherited Their superpowers as a Person of Divine Revelation is hardly comparable to ordinary Evolvers.

Even Lin Feng has never had the opportunity to worship the god.

Zong Shiyue, an alien, doesn’t count.

So, Lin Feng’s subordinate, Chen Shanshan, instead emerges as someone with high evolutionary potential.

After all, she has strong blood ties with the ruling Night Emperor of the Eternal Night Empire in the Northern Polar Regions.

As a Divine Son, she awakened an extremely rare Dark Domain superpower, which Lin Feng may not even survive from when faced with her unpredictable assassination.

Within the Church, as long as ample resources are provided, a Person of Divine Revelation can generally promote to the Third Stage.

Regrettably, resources are limited, and positions are precious.

Those unfortunate enough to miss the opportunity can only endure a millennia of torment in regret.

However, upon successfully being elected as a bishop, during the Tier Jump Evolution at Tier Three, there would be a third trial challenge.

And this time, if they could see the full appearance of the Master of the Holy Spring and communicate with Them, winning Their approval...

They could become a key cultivation target in the Church’s highest echelons and be granted the title of Saint Son.

Their strength would be able to endure one-thousandth of the Divine Power from the Lord, and there’s a chance they could evolve to Late Tier Three, becoming one of the Saints of the Church.

These are things Lin Feng hasn’t seen yet; he has only learned it roughly from the introduction of the Initial Eight Saints in the Old Calendar Chapters.

The strength of the Eight Saints was varied, and not all became Late Tier Three Saints.

But as the ones who initially followed the Lord and ventured onto the path of Holy Spring evolution under the Lord’s enlightenment, they are akin to the first-generation founders of the Holy Spring Sect, holding a high status.

Among them is the now Undying Saint.

Thousands of years ago, he achieved the feat of nation-destroying, ascending to become a Late Tier Three Saint when the gods were still awake.

To this day, in the Wasteland’s millennial year, it is rumored that the Undying Saint’s strength has infinitely approached godhood.

This allows the Holy Spring Sect, technically relatively backward, to contend with the Giant Enterprise Alliance in the north that completely inherited old-age technology.

Making them one of the two strongest powers.

Nonetheless, on both sides of the bed, there exists a major force, so neither has completely torn things apart out of restraint.

After all, the King’s Alliance and the Eternal Night Empire, too, keep their eyes on the land between thirty and fifty degrees north latitude, the most fertile territory occupied by the two top-tier forces.

Once these two suffer mutual damage, they would certainly pounce aggressively, biting off a huge chunk.

Comparatively, pressure on the Giant Enterprise Alliance is clearly more, considering the Eternal Night Empire has a new god, and although their size isn’t large, they are united.

Unlike the Southern King’s Alliance, which is just a loose alliance of multiple kings.

Moreover, the Holy Spring Sect and the Giant Enterprise Alliance both worry about being attacked from behind by the other while handling their backyards, thereby finding themselves beset on both sides.

Thus, this delicate balance has persisted until the present day, thousands of years later.

But through understanding history, Lin Feng believes this delicate balance won’t last long either.

The foundation of balance is the slumber of gods, and the still-equivalent strength of Tier Three entities on both sides, no factors yet disrupting the balance has appeared.

Once Lin Feng fulfills his promise to Zong Shiyue, releasing this former Half-step Transcendence entity, now a mutated Evil God...

It is bound to disrupt the current balance of all sides...

Inciting a second, dark upheaval sweeping across the entire Wasteland Era!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly felt that the struggle in Oasis Town now is not such a big deal.

He then drew his gaze away from the glass engraving, moving it from above the Master of the Holy Spring, away from the portrait of the Undying Saint, turning around and pressing the mechanism inside the podium to open a secret passage.

He entered the passage, closed the gate, and walked toward the command control room deep inside.

Soon enough, Lin Feng arrived at his destination.

Outside the titanium-tungsten alloy gate, only one battle grand priest remained of the two originally stationed there.

He wore a finely crafted set of power armor.

Quite different from the standard model, its white coating emphasized its Holy Spring Sect affiliation, with a finer structure, devoid of any bulky heft.

But in his hand, he held an alloy long spear, its spearhead razor-sharp, enough to pierce through even the defense of the Early Rock Horse Armor of Tier Two.

The aura it exuded made even Lin Feng feel a hint of alarm, showing that the armor’s augmentation could threaten him.

Fortunately, they weren’t in a hostile relationship.

Lin Feng presented the Oasis Key he held, and the grand priest turned and began rotating the valve.

He turned the twenty-ton valve by himself.

Lin Feng squinted, seeming to understand that the Holy Spring Sect’s technology isn’t as outwardly backward as it seems.

Then how does the technology-advanced Giant Enterprise Alliance, stronger than the Church, exist?

Perhaps they have already built space rockets, or even spaceships that traverse into space?

When Salvation Army Leader Bai Ye evolves into a Tier Three King, maybe he would head north in search of rocket-related technology.

The guy is bent on escaping the atrocious wasteland of Three Days in the Sky, unaware if he’d succeed.

If successful, it’d provide his forces another escape route.

Upgrade his fleet of war vehicles to flyers and make a dash for it when an apocalyptic disaster strikes.

With these thoughts, Lin Feng watched the slowly opening gate before him, revealing the Great Assistant Priest of the Mind who had been waiting behind it for a long time.
