Chapter 1337 Sacrifice
Blaze didn't know what to do and stared at the sun scales in the sky in a daze.

The high priest answered all his questions and told him everything about this world. The things about the underground gods were almost the same as what Kagutsuchi had said.

The gods fell from the sky on the day of the earth-shaking event, and darkness engulfed them. After the world fell into darkness, the gods lit a brazier and discussed the method of the fifth creation in the dim light.

The method they came up with was to let humans with noble spirits jump into the fire basin, transform into butterflies and repair the world on the thirteenth floor.

The thirteenth world was called the "Double Gods Heaven" by the high priest. Perhaps as the surface of the thirteenth world, it also has important significance other than recording mythological totems.

But repairing the thirteenth world is a long process, and the gods who are losing their powers cannot stay in the darkness for long, so the giant feathered serpent that once turned into the sun peeled off its scales, and danced while waving the scales, bringing light to the only remaining first world.

But even the great Quetzalcoatl cannot illuminate the entire world, so how can its scales replace the sun? The sun scales that are separated from the Quetzalcoatl lose their brightness and heat soon, so sacrifices are needed to replenish the heat of the sun scales.

The great warrior's body will be reduced to charcoal in the flames, and the heat will rush to the sky, continuously igniting the sun scales.

This bloody sacrifice has continued from countless years ago to the present. The only thing that makes Blaze feel a little comforted is that human sacrifices are not carried out all the time.

The sun scales fill the world from the eleventh level to the first level. If every sun scale needed to be sacrificed every day, the humans here would have died out long ago.

Instead, there are beast monsters.

The humans here will hunt wild beasts and monsters. The wild beasts and monsters will turn into dust the moment of death and float towards the sun scales in the sky, becoming fuel for the sun scales.

The more powerful the monster, the better it is as fuel.

This is why warriors wearing the skins of wild beasts have a high status, they are literally fighting to keep the world alive.

But human sacrifices will continue, because it is always humans who can transform into butterflies in the afterlife to repair the thirteenth world, not to mention that humans who can hunt powerful beasts are also powerful beasts.

This is their noble mission, and warriors covered in the skins of wild beasts will leap into the flames without hesitation on the day of sacrifice.

Their flesh and blood will continue the little sun that shines on the world now, and their souls will give birth to the sun that will shine on the world in the future.

Blaze had a small doubt about this matter, that is, there was no blessed person here, and no one with a level.

Everyone here is an ordinary person. He has also confirmed their strength during the tug of war among the beast-skin warriors. They are ordinary people.

It would be fine if such an ordinary person successfully hunted the wild beast, but when he fell from the sky, he observed from a distance and found that there were many high-level monsters here.

The high priest explained his doubts, saying that the beast furs worn by the warriors were not only a decoration of their status, but also a kind of power.

When warriors fight, the beast furs will give the warriors the power of the corresponding beast, making the warriors infinitely close to the owner of the beast fur.

As for where this power came from, the high priests called it a gift given by the gods who created them.

Now Blaze could understand why Amaru, an ordinary person, could always stop the Night Leopard. Amaru, wearing the fur of a Night Leopard, would have strength close to that of a Night Leopard when fighting, so it was not surprising that he could fight against a Night Leopard.

Once the small questions are solved, the real big problems will come.

Blaze turned back to look at the high priest and asked in a low voice, "Did the feathered serpent leave because there was a problem repairing the thirteenth floor?"

"That's right. The priest chosen by the gods to go to the Twin Heavens to repair the world brought bad news. A parrot desecrated the sacred ceremony, claimed to be the sun, and affected the fifth creation. It's just that..." The high priest lowered his head, letting the wild boar mask hide his expression.

Even if he didn't say it, Blaze guessed what the high priest was going to say.

According to Kagutsuchi, being a priest is not a noble position. On the contrary, it is a position that only weaklings who cannot hunt wild beasts can hold.

Judging from the attitude of the people around him towards him wearing the rabbit mask, they probably have no interest in what Izanagi is going to do.

"That was too far away, and the content that has been passed down is very vague. We only know that Quetzalcoatl left a prophecy that he would return. If you really want to know about the past, you can only go to the first layer and look for the only remaining underground gods. They have existed since ancient times and know everything that has happened in this land."

Blaze sighed in disappointment.

"One more thing, did Quetzalcoatl say how it would repair the world when it returns?"

"Yes, when the four Smoke Mirrors gather together, the gods will once again possess the original power and recreate this world."

Four Smoky Mirrors...

Blaze narrowed his eyes, he should have seen an incarnation of Smoke Mirror, the Night Panther.

Although the high priest said that when the four Smoke Mirrors gathered together they could repair the world, looking at the behavior of the Night Leopard, even though he had only fought with him, he was sure that this guy would not cooperate, but would rather make trouble.

The credibility of this prediction is not high.

"I understand. I plan to go directly to the first level of the underground world." Blaze did not intend to waste time. He needed the shortest time possible to meet the gods underground.

If for no other reason, he intended to stop the human sacrifice rituals in the underworld as soon as possible.

He couldn't tell the people here what to do about their views on death. It was a beautiful idea for noble warriors to become butterflies after death, but he had reasons to stop them from constantly making death sacrifices in order to survive.

As he entered this majestic complex, he noticed that there were no old people here.

To be precise, there is no one who has aged. The oldest person that can be seen is a middle-aged man in his prime, wearing animal skins.

There is no need to guess where those who are supposed to be getting older have gone.

Today's surface world has six sides and the territory is infinitely vast. They only need to go to the surface, and their culture will bloom beautifully on the surface.

But judging from the pious attitude of the high priest, if the underground gods do not agree, they will not leave and will continue to offer sacrifices.

If the underground gods wanted humans to continue to make sacrifices in order to return to the surface, then... Blaze didn't think about it any further. He would naturally know what to do at that time.
