Chapter 1361 Like a Ghoul

Amaterasu held her chin and listened to the conversation between the gods represented by the left hummingbird and the feathered serpent. There was only one word in her mind, that is, "old antiques with their own thoughts."

[Butterfly] is worthy of being an ancient mythological totem that can predict the future through calculations. They vaguely guessed that the end of the gods would be subversive, and even vaguely perceived the concept of [Totem].

Totems are records of the earth and are extremely important to the gods, but even an omniscient and omnipotent being can only realize the existence of totems when the world is turned upside down and the totems are torn apart.

This is not surprising. Even gods find it difficult to perceive things that are extremely important to them but take their existence for granted.

Therefore, the gods prepared underground shelters for themselves, namely the twelve layers of the underworld. They loudly announced the ownership of each layer and divided the world of each layer, thinking that they could sleep soundly in this way.

In this link, the bottom layer of human survival is extremely important. The gods need human praise and faith, and they need the earth to tell their stories.

Nothing can make humans remember the existence of gods better than the sacrifice of their own kind. But not everything can be done by humans. Civilization is needed.

The humans created in the First Sun Era were giants that ate acorns, but they were as incomplete as the smoke mirror that turned into a black sun in the sky. Not to mention building a civilization, they couldn't even recognize the existence of the gods, and they had no feelings when their companions died.

The humans in the second and third solar eras were relatively good. They offered sacrifices and worshipped the gods, but unfortunately they were not strong enough.

In the devastation of the rain of fire and flood caused by the smoke mirror, they changed their form in order to survive, lost their human appearance, and were no longer qualified.

The humans of the Fourth Sun Era were the most perfect. Quetzalcoatl created humans using corn. They were more emotional and intelligent than the humans of the past three eras, and even had stronger bodies and firmer wills.

Under the care of the Quetzalcoatl, humans rapidly established city-state civilization and even created art to praise the gods.

But among these [Gods] there is only Quetzalcoatl, and even [living sacrifice], a means used to strengthen human faith, has been banned by Quetzalcoatl.

The Fourth Sun Age was a failure, but the humans in it were very good and only needed slight adjustments to be used in the Fifth Sun Age. It’s just that the power of the Quetzalcoatl was too strong.

Unfortunately, before they destroyed the world created by Quetzalcoatl, the thirteenth world of origin was destroyed, and the gods who were unprepared fell with it. Their proud shelters collapsed one after another, and finally fell to the lowest level of the ground world.

As a result, they lingered on in a world where only feathered serpents existed.

But this is not a bad thing. Even if the origin world is destroyed, Quetzalcoatl still possesses great power, and even humans have not changed themselves because of the extinction of the sun.

Their calculations were successful. They could use the faith of the humans in the first layer of the ground world to carve their totems on the earth and restore their divine power.

They can even complete the rebirth of the gods and redefine themselves.

The simplest and most brutal way to strengthen human belief in themselves and leave a record on the earth is disaster. The death of humans in disasters is also a sacrifice to nature.

But the Quetzalcoatl sits at the center of humanity, and with him around, no god except the Smoking Mirror dares to play evil in front of him.

Then it is the old method, sacrifice. Although this is forbidden by Quetzalcoatl, if it is voluntary on the part of humans, and even if it is a great act for the purpose of creating a new world, even Quetzalcoatl cannot refuse it.

The result was a great sacrifice to repair the origin world, which was feasible, so Quetzalcoatl could not refuse it, but something went wrong. It was just a small mistake. A human used the great sacrificial ceremony to transform into the sun god of the outside world, and in the face of the priests' request, they just coldly expressed indifference.

Because they know that the end of the gods is not over yet, and the defilers will soon be drawn into it and then destroyed.

The current sacrificial restoration ceremony is still an experiment. Only when the end of the gods is completely over and their power is restored, will the restoration ceremony officially begin.

But this small accident caused Quetzalcoatl to explode. It tore off its scales and turned into countless little suns to illuminate the world. As long as humans opened their eyes, they could realize the greatness of Quetzalcoatl.

The plan failed again...? No, even the Quetzalcoatl cannot illuminate the entire first-layer ground world without the Sun Cloth. The Sun Scales require sacrifices.

The gods only needed to appear in the city of Turan during the period when humans were making large-scale sacrifices for the sun scales, and create various sacrificial rituals based on themselves, so as to subtly let humans know what the sacrifice was for, who they represented, and even who they would go to after death.

Over time, humans will leave traces of the gods on the first level of the ground world.

In Amaterasu's eyes, this was a very despicable and disgusting act, like a group of zombies, but in fact, this was what the gods did.

Zuo Hummingbird is the biggest beneficiary among them. Although he is also one of the four gods created by the God of the Beginning, he is the last one.

He is the god of war and enjoys humans sacrificing warriors or prisoners of war to him in order to win the war. Even human souls need to serve as his servants for four years before turning into butterflies and hummingbirds.

In the doomsday, war becomes more subtle. Humans' fight against the sun-eating monsters can be considered a kind of war. So whenever humans gather together and make large-scale sacrifices, they will pray to the left hummingbird in order to fight against the sun-eating monsters.

So the left hummingbird still has a lot of power.

Now the gods appear here simply after hearing the rumor of the Quetzalcoatl's return. If the Quetzalcoatl really cheers up, then the gods will have no chance.

As for why they came here, it’s hard to say, but it’s definitely not a good thing.

Amaterasu sighed helplessly. The once noble gods had become so depraved just to survive.

She knew everything clearly, let alone Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl is not a fool, but his high moral standards do not allow him to make assumptions about others. In addition, he has taken all the responsibility for the loss of the Sun Clothes and the current situation of the Fourth Sun Era on himself, and he has no intention of thinking about the actions of the gods.

The powerful Quetzalcoatl can do everything except become the sun, but becoming the sun is Quetzalcoatl's greatest weakness.

Amaterasu's sigh attracted the attention of the gods.

Finally, after these old guys had spied on Quetzalcoatl endlessly and found that Quetzalcoatl was still the same, they looked at her, the newcomer who was about to take on the mission of becoming the sun god.
