Chapter 3683 The Long-Lived Korando
"That duck can control your body to fly now, and it's very fast!"

"It is a bird demon formed from impure thoughts. It is naturally good at flying, so using it to control my body shouldn't be a problem!"

Are you sure it's beneficial for you to manipulate it?

"It's better to be prepared. After all, it's part of me. If I die, it will be finished too!"

Awakening in the No. 2 sinkhole, Ren Anran was somewhat worried that the mallard duck would cause trouble, while Zhang Xuezhou indicated that the benefits would outweigh the risks.

He and Donghua are ultimately different, and he will not repeat anything of Donghua.

If he can guide and balance the duck, perhaps one day he can find a suitable body for it, thus achieving separation.

Compared to the struggle for control of the body, the primary issue Zhang Xuezhou needs to address is the conflict between Demon Lord Hu Yu and Hou Tu and Hong Jun.

"Zhang Hao should have returned from the Thousand Islands Alliance. I'll see if he's willing to go back to the Three Realms and then exchange you for him!"

Laozi's Three Pure Ones incarnations are a precedent, and Zhang Xuezhou obviously doesn't want Ren Anran to repeat the same thing.

He has been pushing forward with many things in the Three Realms recently, including breaking through to the True Self Realm, promoting the cultivation of magic, and going to Xiniu Hezhou, among other things. However, Ren Anran's matter needs to be addressed immediately, which is also the problem that he has a high probability of being able to try to solve right now.

After settling all the details, Zhang Xuezhou finally stepped out of the No. 2 sinkhole.

A bean-sized ice pellet fell into Zhang Xuezhou's palm. When he looked around, he saw that the ground of the North Rehe River was covered with ice shards.

This is different from the previous drifting snowflakes; it has now turned into an ice storm.

June in the Qin-Meng region corresponds to November in the Red Alliance. Since the Red Alliance is currently in winter, this ice storm shouldn't cause widespread panic.
"A cold front originating from the Qinling Mountains has swept into my country, causing widespread severe convective weather, resulting in hail, and some areas experienced severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall!"

"The situations in countries like Omega and the UK are similar!"

"The Thousand Islands Alliance is less affected by the marine climate, but rainfall is quite significant!"

"Recently, Airbus suffered an emergency landing and crash due to the cold weather, and all major airlines have now suspended operations!"

……

Zhang Xuezhou flipped through the communicator that had regained signal after exiting the No. 2 sinkhole, and quickly took in a wealth of shared information.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't the cold wave but rather the hail created by Demon Lord Tiger Feather, then the hailstorm in the Crimson Alliance would mean that the Aomeijia Alliance, which is close to Qin Meng, would be frozen solid and could be declared extinct.

He flipped through the recent information, but there was very little useful information. The news about Li Yingbo and others was mostly about the encirclement and suppression of ferocious beasts.

"It's a pity I didn't get to properly study Master Shi Gong and Erlang Zhenjun!"

When Zhang Xuezhou returned to the B13 Research Institute, there were far fewer onlookers. Luo Tianming and others continued their academic discussions, and even advanced Luo Burang's gene combat techniques to a new level.

Luo Burang in his weak gene form performs exceptionally well in theory and verification, but his performance in actual combat is extremely poor. His weak gene state is like a battery, making it difficult for him to fight a prolonged battle. The greater the power of his fighting techniques, the faster he weakens.

Luo Burang's situation also means that the revision of the Innate Qi Technique will become increasingly extreme as it progresses, and it may even be difficult to repeat the release of the Innate Qi Technique, leaving only the power of a single strike.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that studying the organs mentioned by Luo Burang might be the right approach. He found Shi Gong Fozi and others in Xiniu Hezhou, but did not find an opportunity to discuss cultivation.

On one side, Master Shi was feigning illness, and on the other side, Zhang Xuezhou and the others had all gone their separate ways after their fight, making it difficult for Yang Jian to sit down and provide Zhang Xuezhou with the opportunity to study and research.

Zhang Xuezhou had some ulterior motives, but lacking an opportunity to use them, he had to put them aside. "Corando said the Thousand Islands Alliance wasn't suited to a unified model; she asked if we could manage it through a religious system!"

"Do you really need to ask us about something like this?"

Zhang Xuezhou's Qin Meng operation requires waiting for news; he cannot rush in blindly.

He wasn't in a hurry at this moment. He took the lead in entering the research institute and listened in for a while to understand the research that Luo Tianming and others had been doing for the past two weeks. He then saw Ren Yisheng, who was wearing a thin coat, come over with a flushed face.

After exchanging greetings, Ren Yisheng immediately got to the important matter.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At twenty, he would have thought that the alliance system was the best way to govern, and that there would never be tyrants or incompetent rulers again. But now, nearing forty, he no longer holds such a narrow view and believes that the best way is the one that suits the current society.

Zhang Xuezhou believes that as long as a management method can unite the people and ensure political harmony, it is the right method, and there is no need to worry about whether it is different from the current world mainstream.

The Thousand Islands Alliance has a complex terrain, and many tribal areas have a history of war and conflict. Even after entering modern civilization, there are still many contradictions, making unified coordination difficult.

Nagos's ruthless approach of arresting and killing in droves might succeed, and religious control might also work.

Zhang Xuezhou doesn't care about the management model of the Thousand Islands Alliance.

"Didn't you have that sacrifice?" Ren Yisheng gestured. "Kolando wanted to ask if it would have any impact; she also wanted to get involved!"

"Is she going to get involved too?"

“One generation after another has died in the Thousand Islands Alliance. Corlando wasn’t particularly outstanding in the past, but with everyone else gone,” Ren Yisheng said. “She has high seniority, and recently she has been repeatedly asking for our help, leading her team to fight many ferocious beasts. Her prestige within the organization is also growing. It’s only natural that she’s doing these things!”

"She's really lucky!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head. What Nagos failed to accomplish, Turcolando simply benefited from.

This is not only because Turcolando lived a long time, but more importantly because Turcolando established a strong enough network of connections in the Red Alliance, and many people were willing to give him face.

If there is anyone who can govern the Thousand Islands Alliance and satisfy the other nations, Turcorando is indeed a suitable candidate.

“It’s precisely because she’s lucky that Kolando firmly believes in the power of rituals to bring good fortune,” Ren Yisheng said. “Don’t even mention Kolando, I’d love to try it myself!”

“This kind of thing isn’t actually that good,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “I’ve already caused a death on my end. If she’s willing to take the risk, I’ll cooperate!”

Zhang Xuezhou gestured to indicate that his situation during the Three Realms Sacrifice was not so good; the Great Chanyu Junchen's decline and death occurred extremely quickly after the blood sacrifice.

Of course, as long as Turcolando does not condense his Qi body and has enough prestige, the consequences of the sacrifice will not be very obvious.

Being sacrificed is clearly a bad thing, but everyone treats it as a good thing, and Zhang Xuezhou has no way to stop it.

He told Erkelando that he could do whatever he wanted, and he could even cooperate with the sacrifices, but he couldn't blame Erkelando for not getting any benefits.

"Kolando has been waiting for you to say that!"

Ren Yisheng nodded.

None of the Grian, Nagos, and Li Yingbo suffered misfortune after receiving the sacrifice. If Turkorando suffered misfortune after being sacrificed, Ren Yisheng felt that Turkorando would rather doubt himself than doubt Zhang Xuezhou.
