Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 481 - 239: Tier Three Power, Holy Spring Tales, First Year of the Old Calendar

Chapter 481: Chapter 239: Tier Three Power, Holy Spring Tales, First Year of the Old Calendar

Lin Feng took a deep, slightly excited breath, and gently picked up the first edition of the Holy Spring Scripture in his hand.

But he quickly realized that the confidentiality level of such a book was so high that someone like him, not part of the Church, could be committing a major crime just by reading it.

The old man in front of him might be doing this to pull him down, making him a part of his plan.

Placing the ancient manuscript back on the table, Lin Feng looked at the Oasis Bishop in front of him:

"My Lord, I’m afraid this version of the Holy Spring Scripture is not something ordinary people can borrow and read?"

Bishop Zhang Hui chuckled softly:

"No worries, although it’s almost becoming a prohibited book and only formal Tier Three Bishops are allowed to study it a little, officially, it’s not banned."

"It’s just that there are very few believers left from that era who still embrace it, and the past it records has become a sealed history as that era slowly fades away."

"If you’re really interested in what happened in the Wasteland, this first edition of the Holy Spring Scripture might hold the truth you seek."

Lin Feng squinted slightly and replied:

"According to your meaning, my Lord, the events of the Old Calendar have been altered, and the seventh and eighth editions of the Holy Spring Scripture are vastly different from this first edition?"

Bishop Zhang Hui nodded, not denying it:

"The seventh edition you saw in the library was actually published over a thousand years ago, and every millennium, the Church Academy issues a new edition."

"From the Day of the Divine Birth to now, there have been eight versions."

"This first edition of the Holy Spring Scripture is the first-generation version, compiled by the Master of the Holy Spring personally leading tens of thousands of believers during the First Year of the Divine Birth."

"Afterwards, it went through three versions of evolution and amendments, until the fourth millennium, when the Master, sensing the time was ripe, chose to slumber at Zhuma Divine Hall for the final transformation."

"For the subsequent three thousand years, from the fifth to the seventh editions, all versions came from the Church Academy, embellishing and modifying many events from those years."

"In recent years, with the Undying Saint strengthening control over various dioceses, the second to fourth versions of the Holy Spring Scripture have also been edited and altered to varying degrees, no longer retaining the original content."

"As of now, aside from the rare first editions, only the original manuscripts, the initial version of the Holy Spring Scripture, record the dark turmoil era before the Old Calendar."

"Unfortunately, after the Battle of Shenli, and later the War of the Gods and the Twilight of the Gods, most of the manuscripts have been lost. The few remaining original copies became holy relics enshrined in the Divine Hall following the Master’s ascension."

"If in the future you are fortunate enough to find scattered Chapters, there might be records explaining the cause of the Wasteland, but before that, countless bishops will offer various conditions to negotiate with you."

"By that time, forget about the opportunity to ascend to a Tier Three King; even similar town-level battleships like the Oasis will gladly agree."

At this point, the Lord Bishop returned to the topic:

"But before finding those lost Chapters, you need to have enough knowledge of the first edition of the Holy Spring Scripture to discern whether the content of the lost Chapters is accurate."

"However, these things are secondary."

"Knowing more about the past, verifying through content recorded in different editions, allows you to better understand the true history."

"What you fear most is that after reading it, you might become a target for the currently ruling Secular Faction..."

"But in reality, not everyone is qualified to read this version of the Holy Spring Scripture."

"Having already received the blessing of the Master of the Holy Spring, you naturally have the qualification to understand the past and shoulder the responsibilities given to you by the era."

"Firmly walk down the path you have chosen."

Hearing the Bishop’s final words, Lin Feng was first stunned, then a chill surged from his feet to the crown of his head, and his right hand instinctively reached for the armor-piercing cannon at his waist.

The Bishop’s words were clear; he was already aware of the Blessing from the Master of the Holy Spring, aiding in filling the gaps in his Spirit Attribute...

As well as Lin Feng’s own path of Purity Evolution!

According to the prohibitions of the Holy Spring Sect and the teachings propagated in the Holy Spring Scripture, Purity Evolution has always been a forbidden path.

But before Lin Feng could react, the Lord Bishop suddenly exuded a terrifying aura. This seemingly decrepit old man transformed from his previous withered state...

His momentum surged from Mid-Tier Two all the way to the upper limit peak of Tier Two, at Level 29.

At the same time, his eyes gleamed, and his white hair fluttered in the energy wave, as if a Celestial God had descended.

Lin Feng had seen this scene before in Bai Ye, another Level 29 Evolver.

Bai Ye, known as the Queen of the Skies, the Leader of the Salvation Army, displayed strong spatial superpowers in combat with Tier Three Mutants.

This ability, capable of direct release and affecting dozens of meters around her, already had an embryonic form of the radiation energy seen in Tier Three Kings.

Only Bai Ye’s spatial superpower was more inclined to be supportive, with weak offensive effects, or perhaps she still held something back.

Yet at this moment, the old man before Lin Feng emanated a far superior aura and might than Bai Ye.

The intense energy fluctuation felt tangible, placing enormous pressure on Lin Feng. The air density in the entire chamber, centered around the Lord Bishop, began to decrease outward.

Like a thermobaric bomb, it instantly vacuumed the nearby air, compressing it to the periphery.

Lin Feng felt like he had suddenly entered outer space, the vacuum environment directly exhausting the remaining air in his lungs, and the sudden change in air pressure enveloped him in a negative pressure, making him feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
