Lin Feng nodded almost imperceptibly.
That was a response to Zong Shiyue's inquiry.
His unusual state had already been noticed by Bai Ye, so it was best not to expose it to the team to avoid unsettling them.
Especially Zheng Yan Ying and Shen Yue, as clergy of the Church, were extremely wary of mutation contamination. If they found out Lin Feng was polluted, they'd definitely be on guard secretly and then notify the Church.
At that time, both the Church and the Li Family would likely halt their actions and collectively deal with Lin Feng, a threat to the overall safety of Oasis Town.
Because the spiritually polluted Lin Feng might, under bewitchment, release a substantial source of contamination, infecting the permanent residents and numerous Deserters with mutation radiation.
Like a plague, even if it doesn't immediately threaten the Oasis Battleship, it would destroy the foundation of Oasis Town.
And this is something no organized force that has established order would ever allow.
Just like the Church's relentless eradication of the Fiery Sun Divine Sect.
Any threat to their own rule and order can only have one outcome: destruction.
As for other second-tier Wandering Forces, they are much more tolerant. Even though these bandits and robbers occasionally plunder settlements, the damage they cause is limited and always within controllable bounds.
It can even deepen the unease among permanent residents and Deserters, ensuring they rely more heavily on official protection, even though it has a bit of a 'nurturing-tigers' effect...
But this method is quite effective under many oppressive regimes.
Many Evolvers who want to leave official settlements are only willing to settle in mobile cities and serve diligently because they're afraid of being killed by Wanderers.
If Lin Feng were found to be polluted now, he'd face the same fate as the Fiery Sun Divine Sect.
After a slight nod, Lin Feng immediately started to observe the simple train station ahead.
Since the travel distance was only a dozen kilometers, similar to a subway, the station wasn't large—just a building about a hundred meters long and fifty meters wide.
In the Old Earth Era, it would have been considered a medium-small station, at most capable of handling a few hundred people.
Though not large, it has now become a nest for Mutant Beasts, serving as a stronghold for the Wolf King Gene Radiation within the Wolf King's Tomb, suppressing and polluting the Feicheng Shelter ruins.
Because of its existence, Zong Shiyue had been tormented for over a thousand years, never to regain his footing.
Yet, even though he couldn't rise again, Zong Shiyue wanted revenge against All Gods before becoming completely lost.
The Path of Transcendence for Above Tier Three, once polluted by Alien Race genes, was utterly irreversible.
It's akin to injecting the blood of a Tier One Desert Wolf directly into a Tier One Evolver, forcing them into Alien Mutation Evolution, ruining Zong Shiyue's chance for perfect transcendence.
And it happened at the most critical moment.
So the hatred Zong Shiyue felt for All Gods could probably only be described as irreconcilable.
Lin Feng chose to agree to cooperate because he valued the spread of mutation contamination and its disruption to the existing order. Regardless of Zong Shiyue's enmity with All Gods, reconciliation was impossible for both sides.
This way, Lin Feng could draw away a significant amount of firepower.
Ensuring a smooth path for future Tier Three advancement.
After all, on the surface, Lin Feng was pursuing Alien Evolution, the least potential path of the Rock-Horned Horse, with the extreme limit being Mid-Tier Two.
If he advanced to Mid-Tier Two, he'd definitely attract attention and trigger the wariness of major powers.
Like Patriarch Li, Li Hao, who once leveraged his mid-stage strength to cause upheaval in a large city.
Even after retreating to Oasis Town later, he was still seen as a thorn in the side by the Church.
But Mid-Tier Two is not too big an issue; the real trouble lies in advancing to Late Tier Two. First of all, Late Tier Two Desolate Beasts, whether Rock-Horned Horses or other Clan Leader Level beasts, are scant across the Wasteland.
Moreover, each is a well-known figure.
Trying to advance to Late Tier Two without major forces would surely raise suspicions and even invite targeted investigation.
As for Tier Three Evolution, with the evolution pathway's upper limit sealed, once Lin Feng completes advancement, his Purity Evolution identity is bound to be exposed.
By then, the secret of his ability to produce Pure Source Material would be unearthed, making him a target of forces like the Salvation Army and Bai Ye.
But what worries Lin Feng more is another matter related to this.
After the six team members in front of him finished resting, stood up, and prepared to enter the train station for a search, bidding Lin Feng farewell...
He quietly stood near the train station, looking at the floating phantom before him, and slowly spoke:
"Can Tier Two Evolvers or Tier Three Kings detect the aura of a Purified Evolver and discern the evolution path used by an Evolver?"
Zong Shiyue narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just wondered if Lin Feng was worried that the two Church people would expose the collaboration between them.
Now, hearing this question, he quickly realized that Lin Feng was concerned about exposing his Purified Evolver identity after leaving, drawing the ire of the forces under All Gods.
Thinking it over, Zong Shiyue replied:
"Tier Two Evolvers generally find it difficult to sense, unless it's a specially evolved Perception System, such as someone with an enhanced sense of smell, who can detect multiple auras on a person."
"Or Perception Ability from the Spiritual System. The little girl by your side has it, and her aura reminds me of an old acquaintance I once met."
"Spiritual System Perception Ability can differentiate the various spiritual states present in a person. For example, my current parasitic presence in the edge of your brain can be sensed when I'm active, allowing you to be identified."
