There's an ancient tradition in the tribe where the woman belongs.
For the elderly without children to care for them, the tribe takes care of them till their final rest.
The children whose parents have passed away before they reach adulthood are raised by the tribe until they're 18.
And the decisions to uphold this tradition across generations are made by the tribal chieftain.
It sounds like the chieftain holds the greatest power in the tribe.
But the chieftain is not chosen by a village election or by the elders' votes.
The selection comes from the divine mandate.
The elders in the tribe live long lives, and each chieftain at the age of 60 decides the candidate for the next chieftain.
The divine mandate specifies the birth date and even the exact hour of the future chieftain.
The person who deduces this time range is Mu Hei of the tribe.
When Ye Wan first heard Mu Hei's name from the woman's mouth, he thought it was a person's name.
Ye Wan soon realized it wasn't.
