Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 602 - 291: The Status of the Father of the Century and the Battle Plan

The first formal meeting with Father Su An, even Bai Ye, who was already a Level 29 Evolver, felt slightly nervous.

It wasn’t because of Father Su An’s strength, but because of his reputation in the Storm Holy City.

He is touted as the most promising new figure in the Holy See to achieve the title of Priest of the Century.

Within the Holy See, there is an unwritten rule, its specific timeline cannot be traced, but it has been widely accepted by the Eight Great Holy Cities.

That is to regard each hundred years as a century, similar to the chronology of the Old Earth Era. However, in today’s wasteland, it has regained popularity but bears little relation to the old times.

It is related to the path of evolution.

Judging from the current research on evolution by various forces, the sooner the evolution is completed, the higher the evolutionary potential.

This was already proven in the old era.

After all, every evolutionary level of life has its lifecycle.

It can be roughly divided into youth, middle age, and old age, three distinct stages.

Youth is roughly from birth to adulthood, completing the stabilization stage.

During this period, any form of life is full of vital energy; it is the most vigorous period, and the potential for evolutionary development is also the strongest.

Moreover, since cells and genes are still continuously differentiating, they have not yet stabilized. Especially the content of stem cells within that can transform into directed cells; the plasticity is very strong, so the resistance to complete evolutionary transformation is also the lowest.

This evolutionary pressure will continue to increase with age, eventually forming a bottleneck for transformation, even becoming an insurmountable barrier to stage transformation evolution.

Becoming an impassable chasm that dissuades people from advancing, making them regretful.

Therefore, once reaching the middle age stage of life, even a small level increase requires multiple times the effort compared to the youth period.

The older one gets, the more stable the organization cells become. Although fewer mutations occur, it also means breaking existing genetic combinations requires more effort.

Li Hao is a good example.

His evolutionary talent is not low; among millions of Rock-Horned Horse Path Evolvers, he can be ranked.

Unfortunately, he missed the precious opportunity of his youth. Now, he is almost five hundred years old.

And within the Tier Two evolution level, he is in the transitional period from middle age to old age. Coupled with his youthful recklessness, lack of understanding in protecting his body, and repeatedly fighting battles that overdraft his life force, which left numerous aftermaths.

The actual physical age of his Tier Two body has reached the verge of entering the aging stage.

But as long as he completes the Tier Two Late Stage evolution, he can rescue his precarious physical condition.

After all, the breakthrough from mid-stage to late-stage, although not a stage-transcending transformation, under the stimulation of late-stage cells, can also improve his poor physical condition.

As for the Holy See speaking in terms of a century based on a hundred years, it is set using Tier Two Evolvers as a template for the hundred-year youth period.

In the millennial life of Tier Two Evolvers, the first hundred years is the easiest youth stage for breakthrough in evolution level.

A hundred to two hundred years is the adolescent stage, where cells and genes stabilize, and evolutionary potential gradually declines until after two hundred years, entering adulthood, becoming a mature life form, and the potential becomes mediocre.

Therefore, only during the first hundred years, evolving all the way to the late stage of Tier Two, can one, with the greatest hope and potential, make a decisive effort to break the Tier Three barrier and become an evolutionary king creator.

It’s not only in the Holy Spring Sect but in any major force; those who can evolve to Tier Two before thirty, reach Tier Two Late Stage before one hundred...

are very likely to break through Tier Three as the favored ones of heaven.

But this doesn’t mean that one hundred years later, or even in the middle-aged stage after two hundred years, it’s impossible to become a Tier Three King. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Rather, given limited resources, the former has a seventy to eighty percent chance of achieving a breakthrough, while the latter only has a thirty percent possibility, or even less.

No force would be foolish enough to defy the laws of science and reality.

Like the Hunting Wilderness Guild’s Hunting King plan, candidates for Hunter King Seeds are basically Tier Two Evolvers below one hundred years old; the rest from a hundred to two hundred years are running mates, and those over two hundred are automatically eliminated from the plan.

The same applies to the Holy Spring Sect, and the conditions are even stricter, not only imposing limitations on physique and age but also including the affinity for the Power of the Holy Spring.

And now, as the leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye sees approaching a Tier Two Mid-Stage Evolver, who is the most talented young priest in Storm Holy City within this century.

At just twenty-six, he successfully broke through to Tier Two, becoming a powerful Novice Priest, directly refreshing the record for the youngest priest in Storm Holy City.

This differs from Tier Two Evolvers outside; evolution and promotion within the Church don’t rely solely on stacking resources, as they place greater emphasis on divine cultivators’ affinity for the Power of the Holy Spring, and their understanding of various scriptures.

It involves the degree of dual cultivation in terms of literary and martial arts.

These conditions are harsher than the evolution talent.

Bai Ye, as a former first-rate power, the Salvation Royal City’s favored daughter, only entered Tier Two at forty years old. Thanks to the special nature of her spatial superpower, she spent centuries utilizing the hibernation pod to enter a semi-dormant state, with an actual age of less than ninety.

Apart from events related to evolution, Bai Ye has almost always used spatial superpowers and the hibernation pod to ensure her body enters a state of minimal energy consumption in hibernation, thus achieving an age freeze.
