Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, realizing something:
"No matter how hard the Church tries this time, the final result won't change. Even if I cooperate with the Li Family, there's absolutely no way I'll let them seize the Oasis Battleship and hijack Oasis Town to leave."
Thinking that the other party might undergo gene modification, absorbing Desert Wolf Source Material and embarking on the path of Alien Evolution, likely no longer accepted by the Church, Lin Feng added:
"After the rebellion is quelled, if you have nowhere to go, you can join my convoy with Su Yueyue and continue researching how to suppress the Scorching Sun Curse."
"I have some advanced Desert Wolf Cells that can provide the materials needed for the experiments."
Currently isolated in the Black Box, no one could approach the Wolf King's Flesh except Lin Feng. Even Ding Yi, who was very interested, would have to advance to Late Tier One, wear full protective gear, and enter a highly secure lab to conduct related research.
Tier Three Cells are as dangerous as deadly poison to ordinary Evolvers, and no immune system can withstand attacks from the level of Radiation Energy.
This invisible, colorless, and tasteless pollution develops subtly to an irreparable degree. By the time those infected realize, they have already transformed into aberrant monsters.
The severe cases are like the spy who infiltrated the camp, growing deformities like Wolf Fang and Claw, while the mild cases experience brain deterioration, aimless barking, and other symptoms.
Moreover, this pollution is irreversible, especially when the genetic chromosomes have been thoroughly assimilated. Even if a Tier Three King comes, it would be futile.
Therefore, research on Tier Three Cells is extremely dangerous.
Only strong individuals are suited to study the remnants of even stronger ones.
As for Father Su An and others, injecting Desert Wolf Source Material for evolution is more direct than radiation pollution.
Although the intensity is lower, the amalgamation causes a fundamental change on the genetic level; it penetrates the marrow, making a return to pure human form impossible for life.
Thus Lin Feng accused Father Su An of wanting to entrust someone with his affairs because of this matter.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Father Su An, who was initially melancholic, suddenly chuckled, shook his head, and explained slowly, with Lin Feng's puzzled gaze upon him:
"You're overthinking."
"If the one modified is me, then after leaving the Church's ranks, there's no need to worry about Su Yueyue's future. I can freely take her and explore solutions everywhere."
Father Su An sighed deeply:
"The problem is, due to Lord Bishop's entrustment, I can't undergo Desert Wolf Source Material modification and get involved in the struggle against the Li Family, for I have more important things to do."
"And these things make it absolutely necessary that Su Yueyue, a poor child burdened with the Scorching Sun Curse, must not appear by my side. Otherwise, we would both meet our demise without a trace."
Lin Feng squinted his eyes slightly, quickly piecing together the reason, unable to resist asking:
"Are you planning to return to the Diocese of the Holy City?"
Father Su An nodded, candidly acknowledging:
"Indeed, that's the method we devised for breaking through the impasse, allowing me to become the ultimate victor and regain control of Oasis Town."
"Perhaps you've already gathered information about the current situation of the Oasis Church from the Li Family."
"What we face isn't actually the rebellion of local noble families like the Li Family, but the intentional placement from the upper Diocese."
"That's why the Li Family has been restless for years, yet the Holy City hasn't made any statement."
"Normally, if any local forces exhibit intentions of defying the Church, even without acting on it, a squad of Temple Knights would be dispatched to punish or eradicate local noble families."
"In more severe cases, even a formal Tier Three Bishop would be sent to assume control over the local situation."
"The reason for the Holy City's deliberate indulgence is to reassert control over Oasis Town, bringing it under direct command and fostering a new Tier Three Bishop."
"Originally, Lord Bishop was certainly unwilling, after all, the Oasis took him over eight hundred years to establish single-handedly. For acquiring subsidies from the Holy City, we spared no efforts and expenses to establish the Oasis Upper District..."
"If not for the burden of the Upper District, if not to cultivate the finest Restricted Area Observers, simply using ordinary Evolvers for the Moonlit Ceremony, the Oasis could have supported several Tier Two Late Stage Evolvers long ago, even providing Lord Bishop the opportunity to become a genuine Tier Three Bishop from a Deputy Bishop."
Pausing slightly, Father Su An continued:
"But for Lord Bishop, if he solely focuses on his evolution, Oasis Town struggles to maintain even its current status. Not only would noble families like the Li Family face severe suppression, but thousands of the Fifth Village's residents would also become eternal slaves..."
"Accompanying the tens of thousands of Deserters outside Oasis Town, who would serve Lord Bishop amidst fiery purgatory."
"This is the truth upon the wasteland; the reality of most remote towns, and even beneath the Holy City, corpses accumulate in countless numbers with daily death tolls uncounted..."
"Even in death, they would merely become food for kin, even digesting into excrement, used until every drop of value is squeezed out!"
"In comparison, Oasis Town still manages to sustain over twenty thousand townspeople, supporting fifty to sixty thousand Deserters, ensuring they don't die of thirst while not restricting their freedom, immensely commendable."
"Thus, Wanderers originating from Oasis Town are rarest throughout the wasteland; nearly none appear in several hundred years."
