Accompanying Xu Wanshuang onto the Oasis, Lin Feng found the atmosphere inside the battleship had shifted somewhat.
Although the narrow, claustrophobic corridors were stifling before, at least they had some signs of life. Now, the faces of the Upper Servant personnel from the battleship's lower levels lacked the previous relaxed smiles, replaced by a deathly silence.
It's important to know that, although their lives were hard, they at least had food and drink, did not lack water, and compared to the desperate survival on the wasteland, it was considered a stable livelihood.
Each day they only needed to work hard to maintain the operation of the Oasis Battleship and support those mascots and storages in the Upper District.
Indeed, the so-called Oasis Upper Class were nothing more than intelligence storage units in the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, a group of meticulously nurtured living devices.
Even so, amid the overt and covert struggles of various forces in Oasis Town, a lenient parliamentary environment formed, and out of mercy, the Church granted the Oasis Upper Class a whole hundred years of free life.
This kind of generous treatment and environment was merely a shift from the original five-hundred-year lifespan to a normal hundred years. Countless Evolvers on the Wilderness struggled in the harsh conditions of water scarcity and food shortages, their lifespan drastically reduced to two hundred years...
The dreamlike life in the Upper District was beyond their reach.
And now such good times were nearing an end; no matter who won the final victory, it would break the fragile balance and stability of the past.
Li Family and other rebel armies would not tolerate the Upper District's excessive consumption of Oasis resources, continuing the waste of manpower and materials.
Once the Holy City Diocese took over, to support a new Tier Three Bishop, they would have to carry out sweeping reforms in Oasis Town, exploiting all Oasis resources and exhausting everything.
By then, not only the Upper District, but even the permanent residents among the Five Major Villages and the fifty to sixty thousand Deserters near Oasis Town, would become the Church's piles of white bones.
Using their frail, hunched bodies to carry forward the gigantic behemoth of the Church.
So for most people relying on the Oasis for survival, what was happening now in the Oasis was not a good thing.
Even if Li Family and other rebel armies got what they wanted, only the small group at the top would gain the fruits of the reform, and the Oasis Battleship would undergo cleansing as well.
Among the over eight thousand Upper Servants, only a portion of workers who maintained the operation of the Oasis Battleship were valuable enough to be retained to continue fulfilling their duties; others serving the Upper District would either be driven out en masse or see their treatment plummet, becoming actual slaves.
Life and death lay merely in the whims of those above.
Only a tiny fraction of them came from various villages and families, these people had a chance to turn their fortunes around, but were more worried about the rebellion failing and affecting themselves.
The rest, naturally, need not be mentioned, their current treatment fully depended on compromise and balance after various factions wrestled, implementing a parliamentary system to discuss and decide strategies, thus being able to offer more resources and living space to the lower tier.
Once the balance was broken, the final winner takes all...
Then power and resources would naturally concentrate, leading to the implementation of harsh high-pressure policies.
Thus Lin Feng saw, originally only looking weary, the Oasis Upper Servants now either with gloomy faces or worried, unsettled.
In the end, the outcome is any power develops to a certain period, heading towards the inevitable unified centralization.
Regardless of whether the survival Diocese's dimensional attack occurs or not, the relationship between the Oasis Church and various families will also, due to the Oasis's scale development, trigger intense internal conflict, ultimately electing the sole winner to concentrate resources, pushing itself to a higher level of evolution.
Lin Feng was powerless to change anything, nor did he wish to interfere.
Resisting the tide of historical development is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, even a Tier Three King cannot stir up any waves.
Even if Lin Feng wanted to save this wasteland apocalypse sliding towards hell, he would have to wait until he walks his own path, becoming a Transcender above Tier Three, overpowering All Gods.
After hurriedly passing through narrow corridors, Lin Feng quickly followed Xu Wanshuang to the Upper District at the highest level of the Oasis.
At this point, even the atmosphere there had become gloomy, no longer filled with the joyous laughter of the past.
Many young Upper Class individuals were unwilling to leave their homes.
Instead, they stood inside their houses, silently observing Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang coming down the streets through gaps in the curtains.
At this moment, compared to when he first arrived, Lin Feng's appearance hadn't changed much, but his physique had undergone a complete transformation.
Originally only a little over 1.8 meters tall, he was now over 2 meters, like the former Priest Su An.
With a set of Power Armor, his whole form stood at about 2.5 meters, appearing extremely tall and mighty.
Currently, Lin Feng did not wear Smart Head Armor, showing his head and displaying a gentle smile, giving a strong sense of security.
Many Upper Class hiding in their homes couldn't help but glance at him, following Lin Feng's figure until he disappeared into the Church District at the fore of the battleship's prow.
After entering the Church, Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang were immediately taken inside the cathedral and met Lord Bishop.
At this moment, the Oasis Bishop was dressed in a lavish gold and white Church attire, wearing a half-meter-high hat with a fist-sized golden Teaching Emblem embedded in it.
Upon seeing Lin Feng and Xu Wanshuang, Bishop Zhang Hui smiled gently and spoke, his voice deep and aged:
"Come, they have been waiting for a long time."
"Regarding matters of the Oasis, let's discuss them as we walk."
Saying this, he led the two into the Great Cathedral.
Upon pressing a certain button below the platform ahead, a tunnel appeared behind the high platform.
