Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 649 - 311: Final Conversation, Wind of Freedom, Golden Era

When Lin Feng arrived in the secret chamber behind the Great Cathedral, Lord Bishop had already been waiting for a long time.

Compared to his appearance in the conference room earlier, Lord Bishop’s condition was now even more weakened, and the aura he emitted had fallen from the Late Middle Stage of Tier Two to the Early Stage.

Even Lin Feng, who had evolved to Level 22, was no match for him.

Lin Feng knew that at this moment, Lord Bishop had truly reached the point of having exhausted his energy, about to completely perish.

Unlike before, where it was merely a deliberate contraction of aura to reduce the consumption of Holy Spring Cells within his body.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng also realized that this would be his last opportunity to meet with Lord of the Church.

By the time he left the Oasis Battleship and returned from the decapitation mission, Lord Bishop was likely to have returned to the Divine Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel somewhat melancholic.

In recent days, witnessing the deaths of several Tier Two Evolvers, especially figures like Lord Bishop and Patriarch Li Hao, who were Late Tier Two powerhouses.

And Lord Bishop before him, who had nearly stepped into Tier Three in the past.

Now, even strong persons like them would move towards the end of life due to the exhaustion of life force and the decline of brain cells...

This made Lin Feng increasingly feel that treading the path of evolution, if one could not reach the Third Stage, it would all merely be a struggle against death.

Without becoming a king, it is ultimately futile.

Only by knocking on the door of Tier Three, breaking through the final bottleneck of organism evolution, can individual eternity be realized, replacing the previous method of gene continuity through reproduction and duplication.

And now, a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse about to approach the end of life, would surely leave him with valuable experience.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, closed the door, and walked inside.

Under the dim light, the old man put on a pair of yellowed glasses and handed the initial edition of "Holy Spring Sect" in his hands to the young man in front of him:

"You’ve only read the initial Chapters, so take it with you. You can study it thoroughly on your way to the Holy City."

Lin Feng was taken aback, clearly not expecting Lord Bishop to leave him such a great gift before his death, somewhat at a loss for what to do, he said:

"This item is so precious..."

"Shouldn’t it be given to Father Su An?"

Lord Bishop coughed lightly twice:

"Do you know how serious the consequences would be if this item was found on him?"

Lin Feng immediately realized that this initial edition of Holy Spring Scripture, now considered a banned book within the secular-dominated Holy See, especially to cultivators within the Church.

But Lord Bishop handing it to him, wasn’t it also like passing a hot potato to him for safekeeping?

Noticing the unnatural change in Lin Feng’s expression, Lord Bishop smiled and continued:

"Don’t worry, you’re not a member of the Church, and you have no ties with the Holy See, even if discovered by the Church, at most they would just burn it."

"But the Holy See won’t search you for no reason, moreover, these materials are still well-preserved in the Divine Hall and the Holy City Library."

"The reason for giving it to you, firstly, is to help you better understand the history that happened back then, giving you a more direct insight into the current Wasteland situation."

"Besides, I hope that you can become the Savior that the Master expects, leading humanity to break free from the bondage imposed by the pathways of All Gods."

Hearing Lord Bishop’s words, Lin Feng was suddenly taken aback, this was not something that could be said by a Church member, let alone coming from a Deputy Bishop’s Grand Priest...

Loyal follower of the Master of the Holy Spring.

Seeing the expression on Lin Feng’s face change from hesitation to astonishment, Lord Bishop withdrew his smile and became gradually serious, speaking in a low tone:

"Do you remember when I mentioned to you why the Secular Faction wanted to modify the Holy Spring Scripture, altering history..."

"Tell me your initial thoughts."

Lin Feng squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied:

"From what I understand, the path to godhood taken by those All Gods back then was known as the Shepherd’s Method."

"The so-called Shepherd’s Method means that before All Gods set foot on the path to godhood, after evolving to the Late Tier Three Upper Limit Level 39, if they wanted to become even stronger, their own bodies could no longer accommodate more Power of Origin..."

"At this moment, these pinnacle evolvers, although they can already touch the threshold of the next stage, they can never break through this bottleneck due to the limited Power of Origin in their bodies."

"At the same time, the evolution pathways they have pioneered themselves also have considerable limitations, requiring the absorption of the sources of other evolution pathways to complement their own defects..."

"But different sources, like the conflict arising between evolutionary paths, also result in rejection reactions, which necessitate a lengthy period of fusion to become one."

"This avoids the occurrence of polluted mutations, preventing All Gods from becoming exceptionally unstable, deranged Evil Gods."

"However, in doing so, All Gods need an extended period to complete all the source puzzles, each time undergoing a long slumber to complete the fusion, possibly falling prey to other gods in the meantime."

"So, to solve these problems, All Gods thought of a perfect solution, forming a large power, recruiting a group of potential evolvers, allowing them to absorb the energy radiated by their own sources, thereby evolving into specific Fusion Evolution pathways..."

"And as the evolvers along this pathway increased, birthing many Tier Three entities, these kings’ source materials within their bodies were the perfect fusion of their own genes and the sources of the gods they followed."

"In this way, a large part of the effort can be saved, as long as a massive fusion is conducted by absorbing the sources of a large number of Tier Three believers in the end, not only solving the initial issue of limited Power of Origin, but also complementing all shortcomings, becoming the sole all-powerful god..."
