Chapter 1362 The Ominous Black
"I don't want a living sacrifice, that's all."

Before Zuo Hummingbird could speak, Amaterasu waved her hand and blocked the road in advance.

Are you kidding? She thought human sacrifice was abominable in the first place, not to mention that these gods were like ghouls, wanting to share the share of human sacrifice.

She glanced at each sacrifice. They were clearly noble sacrifices made by humans to continue the world, but the sacrificial rituals added by the gods looked like a recipe, and she almost vomited.

"If you want humans to believe in you, then work hard for me."

If you want something, you have to pay for it. This is a truth that even children know. Unfortunately, in some ways, the gods are even worse than children, and their fists are particularly big.

"Sacrifice was discovered after countless experiments. It is the easiest way to consolidate the existence of the gods." Zuo Hummingbird's voice was low and full of unquestionable majesty. His eyes were extremely sharp, and the temperature between the entire throne seemed to rise.

"Don't you know? The Age of Gods has ended. Now is the Age of Humans. Even the King of Gods has to line up early in the morning for the medal of the best fruit salesman."

"puff--"

Before the left hummingbird could say anything, Quetzalcoatl laughed.

He lay on the throne, punishing himself for showing such an embarrassing posture in front of the gods, but what Amaterasu said was so funny that he couldn't help laughing out loud during the punishment.

"How could this happen?"

"Yes, that's Blaze's cheap dad. But I can't tell you the name of Blaze's cheap dad, or you'll be prejudiced."

"It can't be Zeus, he looks very similar, especially when it comes to messy relationships with women."

"You figured that out!?"

It was just a small episode, but this small episode was like a gust of wind that took away the temperature between the thrones and brought coolness.

The left hummingbird glanced at Quetzalcoatl, took a deep breath, extinguished the fire in his eyes, and made his tone less condescending.

“Perhaps in your eyes, sacrifice is a barbaric demand we make of mankind, but this is an ancient custom that has existed since the beginning of the world.”

"Quetzalcoatl and Smoke Mirror killed the monster and created this thirteen-layer world, but they only divided the monster into thirteen layers of corpses. It was the gods who irrigated the corpses with their blood and completed this initial sacrifice, and the thirteen-layer world was born. So it is not an exaggeration to call sacrifice the core of our world."

Amaterasu looked at Quetzalcoatl. This was the first time she had heard of it, so she wanted to confirm it.

"Except for the initial sacrifice, he did not lie at all." Quetzalcoatl sat up straight, with his hands on the armrests of the throne, majestically, as if he would not allow himself to show any lack of etiquette when telling the following words.

"The original sacrifice was the left foot of Tezcatlipoca, who sacrificed her own body to lure the monster out of the water."

"Tezka Popopo?" Amaterasu touched the back of her head. Now she was sure that she was definitely not from this mythical totem. The names here were too difficult to pronounce.

Unlike her tongue twister and confusion, the gods except Zuo Hummingbird showed taboo expressions, as if the name was very ominous.

They whispered, and there was no respect for the victim in their words, only fear, suspicion, rejection, and they even blamed the victim for all the bad luck, bad things, and even bad thoughts, as if the sacrifice was just another conspiracy.

"That is the smoke mirror. It is a great and beautiful sacrifice." Quetzalcoatl explained patiently. "Oh~" Amaterasu pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Quetzalcoatl is just one of the gods who retains power, the other one is the black god SmokyMirror.

She is the exact opposite of Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl makes the world willing to remember him and the world waits for his return, while the Smoky Mirror is the shadow of the world, all the misfortunes, all the evil and chaos.

He is the only god who is not affected at all even if the world is turned upside down.

The smoke mirror is probably the most perfect state imagined by the gods. Unfortunately, they do not have the power to act recklessly like the smoke mirror, nor do they want to bear such a terrible infamy.

"This world was created because of sacrifice, so we don't have the sun, we only have a sun coat. Even if the sun coat can emit thousands of feet of light, it is just a piece of clothing. It cannot be the source of life, and it cannot change the fact that we don't have a sun god."

“Without sacrifice, humans will one day lose their reverence for the gods. This is only part of the reason. The gods’ sacrifice gave birth to the world, and the sacrifice of living beings maintains the loophole of the world without the sun. This is the real reason.” Zuo Hummingbird said calmly, with his hands folded in front of him.

This is undoubtedly without basis and is just a perverse idea to maintain the custom of living sacrifice.

Amaterasu wanted to refute, but Quetzalcoatl did not refute her, and as an outsider she couldn't say anything. What if there really was such a problem?
All she could do was hum a few words to show that she was a genuine sun god who was born as the sun.

With her in place, the world will truly have the sun, and there will be no need for sacrifices.

But Zuo Hummingbird still has his say.

"You are not the sun god of our world. Your shape is wrong. To this world, you are nothing more than a soul and a body that do not match. It may work in the short term, but over time, abnormalities will inevitably appear."

"That's why we are looking for the Sun Robe. If we put on your world's Sun Robe, we will become the sun of your world."

Amaterasu spread her hands. She thought Left Hummingbird would continue to object, find all kinds of reasons to find fault, and insist on performing a live sacrifice. She was mentally prepared, but who knew that Left Hummingbird nodded.

“That’s right. As long as we have the Sun Robe, these won’t be a problem. We don’t even need you. Kukukanal can awaken the world by putting on the Sun Robe, but you can’t get the Sun Robe.” Left Hummingbird shook his head with regret on his face.

"The Sun Robe is in the hands of Smoke Mirror. Not only does she possess the same power as the Totem before it was destroyed, she also has countless Star Demons surrounding her. There is no way you can get it from this black god."

"What!?" Quetzalcoatl stood up, his face full of disbelief, as if he had just found out about it.

"In these endless dark years, we have also searched for the Sun Robe, and this is the answer we got. It's not an unexpected answer, is it, brother?" Left Hummingbird sighed softly, then turned around and left with the gods.

"You will never get the Sun Robe from her. The only options left for you are to sacrifice lives to continue this dead world, or..."

"Sacrifice a god and let the sun be born in flames, becoming the sun of the Fifth Sun Era [Tonatiuh]."

"How could it be? She wouldn't do such a thing. She did..."

Quetzalcoatl sat back on the throne in a daze, not knowing whether it was because he couldn't retrieve the Sun Robe or because of something else.
