After the Great White of the Beacon Tribe, even Hu Lun'er temporarily withdrew.

As soon as the wise Smart entered the tent, he saw Hulun'er, who was fuming.

Although his injuries had completely healed, the thought of his dead clansmen, who would never return, still made him uneasy.

This reminded him of himself a year ago, when he was so cowardly that he could only watch helplessly as his people were brutally murdered by a larger tribe, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

All of this gave Hu Lun'er the illusion that she herself had not changed.

Just as Hulun was about to speak, a bowl of hot soup silenced her.

"My lord, please drink this soup first. It will calm your mind and spirit. You need to recuperate now. Your physical wounds have healed, but your emotional wounds remain!"

"It was the wise Smart who spoke gently."

Upon hearing this, Hu Lun'er took a deep breath, and the impatience on his face eased slightly. The wise man Smart's expression reminded him of the elders in his tribe who had been so kind to him, treating him like a child.

However, ever since he gained great power, the people of his tribe have looked at him with fear, and few of them have shown concern for him or shown such care.

This may be why Hu Lun'er trusted the wise Smart so much.

"I was able to recover so quickly thanks to your herbs, Great Wizard! If it weren't for your herbs, I would never feel so energetic, as if I had inexhaustible strength!" Hu Lun'er said from the bottom of her heart.

As he spoke, he picked up the clay bowl and drank the medicine inside in one gulp.

This clay bowl was also invented exclusively by the wise man Smart. Before that, no tribe knew that the soil, which was readily available on the ground, could be shaped and used to make specific items after being burned by fire.

"Don't let my position as the leader of the entire tribe fool you; in reality, you are the backbone of the tribe! Without you, our tribe would fall apart," Hu Lun'er said with emotion.

Thinking about everything that happened on the battlefield, Hu Lun'er became even more uneasy.

No matter how powerful one is, it's only one person's power. But the power of the wise Smart can bring a better life to other people of his race.

Upon hearing this, the wise Smart smiled slightly and said, "Chief, you flatter me! How could I be the backbone of the entire tribe? You are the most crucial one!"

"In this world, apart from you, no other tribe could have stopped the years of war and built such a vast alliance. Don't forget, you are the chosen one of the gods, destined to ensure the existence of all tribes, and indeed, this world!"

Hu Lun'er nodded; in truth, what he had just said was merely a polite gesture.

Just as Lin Yu had seen before, compared to the wise Smart, Hu Lun'er's IQ was indeed not very high.

He really thought that just because he had physical strength, he could become the core figure of the entire tribe.

In fact, if the wise man Smart hadn't lacked the determination to unify the various tribes, and had actually done so, the results might have been even better than Hulun'er's.

Fortunately, Hu Lun'er was very receptive to the flattery of the wise man Smart, which greatly satisfied his vanity and made him increasingly respectful of Smart's existence.

"My current power comes entirely from the God of War. Without the God of War, I would not be who I am today. I am the sole apostle of the God on this entire land! However, this battle has indeed encountered some difficulties, and I have come to you today to discuss this matter."

Hu Lun'er finally revealed the true purpose of her trip.

The wise Smart immediately adopted an expression of being all ears.

Hu Lun'er spoke up indignantly, "That so-called Beacon Fire Tribe dares to imitate this chieftain! Their tribal high shaman is also a messenger of the gods!"

"It is said that the high shaman of the Beacon Smoke Tribe possesses the ability to control wild beasts. What is this nonsense? The Beacon Smoke Tribe clearly worships the god of smoke. Even if such a god exists, it should be the embodiment of smoke itself, not a god who controls wild beasts."

"That's a complete and utter lie!"

Hulun'er's indignant words reached the ears of the wise man Smart without missing a single one, and he shamelessly nodded in flattery, saying, "That's right, in this world, only you, the chief of our tribe, are the sole messenger of God!"

"The existence of the God of War is supreme; as for the gods worshipped by the Beacon Fire Tribe, they are merely fabricated deities."

Time will tell, and this land will ultimately belong to the god of war!

Hu Lun'er was overjoyed. Her previously low spirits were completely lifted after hearing the wise Smart's flattery.

"So you think so too? Indeed, this land is said to belong to the god of war!"

"He's only capable of taming some wild beasts. I remember you were also able to tame ferocious beasts before, with similar abilities. Yet, in the mouth of the Great Shaman of the Beacon Smoke Tribe, he's been hailed as a messenger of the gods. It's utterly laughable."

Upon hearing this, the wise man Smart nodded vigorously, saying, "That's right, those are just ordinary skills. Even an ordinary member of the tribe like myself can quickly learn such techniques, let alone the tribe's great shaman?"

Lin Yu watched the record from the side, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

What should he say at this moment?

Smart is truly a wise man who knows when to yield!

Even though he had tamed a young beast, not an adult ferocious animal, he didn't remind Hu Lun'er at all.

Even though he himself had witnessed the existence of the goddess of wisdom, he now acknowledged that the only god in the world was the goddess of wisdom.

Before this, Lin Yu thought this guy would be someone who was very steadfast in his beliefs.

As it turns out, when life is in grave danger, the wise Smart will say anything.

Thinking back to how the wise Smart was willing to give up his life to find the answers to those three questions, Lin Yu felt it was all too surreal.

"It seems this kid hasn't encountered any issues he cares about, which is why he's choosing to play along with Hu Lun'er." Lin Yu's gaze towards the wise Smart became much more complicated.

Indeed, this man is a true sage of our time.

Speaking to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language is a skill! Especially after you have the gift of your own power.
