"I had a dream in which God told me that the hope for resolving our tribe's crisis lies in Qin Meng, and only the youngest, bravest, and most renowned can find that hope!"

Zhang Xuezhou's Supreme Purity True Technique can only be used to stop bleeding, reattach bones, and treat internal organ injuries; as for head injuries, he couldn't even heal himself.

Ever since the three holes were punched in the head of the Grand Elder, Tueryongduolu, the old man has been either in a state of high excitement or in a daze.

Once again in a deep sleep, the old man mumbled incoherently that he had received a divine revelation.

The real reason is simply that the opponent's mental strength is the weakest, making it easier to strike. Huang mentioned that at the moment, he could only perform this level of mental control.

Although Zhang Xuezhou didn't believe in the absurdity, he was glad that the matter was resolved.

As the Grand Elder Turyondor rambled on about the divine oracle he had received, the two paladins flanking him were already praying devoutly.

"Among your Tuer people, who is the youngest, bravest, and most renowned?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"The youngest are the newborn infants," Elder Turyondor replied. "The bravest are the holy warriors with unwavering faith, and the most renowned are the former chieftain Turkorando."

"I don't think your gods would want an infant to go to Qin Meng," Zhang Xuezhou reminded him with exasperation. "He should be someone who possesses these three strongest qualities."

No!

The elder, whose mind had been traumatized, had reached a dead end; he insisted that God had instructed three people, not one.

This left Zhang Xuezhou somewhat disheartened; he hadn't expected that such a matter could drag Turcolando into it.

Even the Grand Elder is currently finding it difficult to determine the youngest and bravest individuals, but the most prestigious one has been directly proposed.

"I think you could ask the former chieftain to take a paladin and an infant to Qinmeng, but to prevent you from misinterpreting the oracle, shouldn't you also consider another possibility?" Zhang Xuezhou advised, "What if your gods require someone who embodies all three qualities, like someone as young, brave, and renowned as Turkalando? Wouldn't that ensure things are handled much better?"

"There's no way I could have misunderstood the oracle!"

"Your understanding is certainly correct, but this is only to prevent any potential accidents!"

"Divine pronouncements can only be interpreted in one way. Only by completely following the instructions of the oracle can we possibly receive God's glory. Any doubt or speculation about God's will will lead to an uncontrollable disaster!"

Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to call out names directly.

Even after he had mentioned Turcalandor's name, the Grand Elder remained stubbornly unyielding.

The arrangements were made, but it seems things didn't get done.

After some discussion, Zhang Xuezhou added some supernatural elements, not expecting that Turcarando had not left the Tur District, but rather that Turcarando had been appointed by the emperor.

Seeing that the Grand Elder Tueryongduo had opened the communication system and repeatedly called out to the other elders, as well as contacting the heads of various clans, and making religious oaths and mentioning his divine decree, Zhang Xuezhou felt a little uneasy.

"Unlucky!"

He mentally cursed.

Ren Anran blinked.

To prevent Turkalando from developing a mental block or causing difficulties in returning to the Turkal tribe, Zhang Xuezhou made a series of interconnected arrangements, rather than trying to persuade Turkalando with himself at the center.

But no matter how good Zhang Xuezhou's arrangements were, they were no match for someone like the Grand Elder who had mental issues.

Listening to the Grand Elder's resolute pronouncements over the communication, Ren Anran knew very well that Turkalando had not been arranged.

Oracles are rare and difficult to repeat, and only one mouthpiece can reveal their rarity and special status. It is not appropriate for Huang to control the Grand Elder to guide a new oracle, and Zhang Xuezhou cannot argue with these religious figures. By the time the elders quickly finalized the matter through communication, it was already difficult to change anything.

It was rare to see Zhang Xuezhou suffer a setback, Ren Anran couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Ren Anran felt that things weren't so bad. As long as the former chieftain Turkalando still played a significant role and held the fate of the Turk tribe in his hands, Turkalando was unlikely to cause a serious incident due to the religious trial.

Things took a turn for the worse, but there were also some unexpected positive outcomes, though it inevitably caused some trouble for Turcolando.

After Ren Anran whispered a few words to Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized what was going on.

"In other words, this matter still needs to be actually done," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Ah," Ren Anran nodded in agreement, then asked doubtfully, "You made this arrangement, aren't you going to carry it out?"

"Committee Member Zhou wouldn't listen to my arrangements," Zhang Xuezhou muttered. "My plans are only theoretically feasible; I have no idea whether they'll actually work. I don't even know if Committee Member Zhou can actually come, and besides, we're not even with your mother."

"Meeting up is easy to arrange, but this will likely require your help to make the connection!"

It may seem like just a simple meeting with Zhou Xin, but this is not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

Apart from the Zhou Household family and a few others, outsiders were unaware that Zhou Xin would be exiled to Qinmeng, let alone which region of Zhou Xin would live in.

Only by binding Zhang Xuezhou and Zhou Yueyan together on the Spirit-Forging Pill, and by Law Power regarding the ferocious beast, could they possibly obtain information about Zhou Xin.

Otherwise, even if Turcolando searched haphazardly in Qinmeng, he would have no chance of finding Zhou Xin, let alone any hope.

Without a clear destination, Turcolando's situation was practically tantamount to being exiled to Qinmeng.

The attitude of "it's none of my business" may explain why the Elders and the Divine Grace Lineage quickly passed the divine decree.

"Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed for too long," Ren Anran said. "The longer it goes on, the less effective Kalando's existence will be, and the higher the risk Kalando faces within this religion."

If the person traveling is Turkalando, the others can observe and wait for the matter to end; there are several possible options.

However, with the traveler changing to Turcolando, and Turcolando remaining in the Tours district, the choice undoubtedly became limited.

"If things are resolved in the future, this could be the opportunity for the two of them to truly take control of the Tuer tribe," Ren Anran whispered.

"Are you so sure that the Tuer tribe's disaster can wait until Zhou Xin arrives to resolve it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully. "Perhaps their arranged Sixth Sequence humans and firearms can wipe out that giant moth."

"You don't understand their race," Ren Anran said. "Without the divine decree, they might still fight to the death, but with this divine decree, when they charge at the ferocious beasts, they won't fight to the death, but will have a high probability of waiting for the divine decree's guidance."

"This seems to be more in their interest!"

"That's right, no one would risk their life so easily. And even if they manage to defeat that giant moth, the Tuer clan still has so many caves to investigate; the matter is far from over!"

Ren Anran and Zhang Xuezhou discussed in hushed tones.

Zhang Xuezhou was very clear about the stakes, but Ren Anran understood the Tuer people better.

After all, she had served as a priestess for a period of time. Even if she hadn't been exposed to it from a young age, she had read a great deal of religious internal archives and was quite familiar with this ethnic group.

This is a crisis for the Tuer tribe, but if handled properly, it is also an opportunity for the Tuer Corlando mother and daughter to turn their fortunes around and truly take control of the Tuer tribe.

Turkalando may not understand how to operate in this way, but he has probably been waiting for this opportunity for decades.
