Chapter 1367: Creation of New Humanity
"Let's not mention the word 'we' that dragged me into your plan without permission, and let's not mention that you casually mentioned creating humans. If I'm guessing correctly, you just plan to create another kind of human to replace the current humans for sacrifice, right?"

Blaze rubbed his temples, feeling the blood vessels there throbbing and swelling, while Smoky Mirror just nodded as a matter of course.

"Are you kidding!"

"Am I kidding?" Smoke Mirror merely raised her eyebrows in the face of Blaze's anger. She put her hands behind her back and limped into her lobbying.

"Sacrifice is a rule that was born when we created this world. From my sacrificing my left leg to the gods offering their blood to irrigate the earth, giving it life, this is something that will never change."

"To you, this is just an unreasonable, even irrational rule. But every living being in this world is born from this rule and benefits from it. But when it's your turn to obey the rule and sacrifice yourself, you say the rule is bad?"

"Of course, you can disobey this rule, and then the sun scales will go out one by one, sacrificing this rule and the world to perish together."

Smoky Mirror shrugged, she hadn't finished her words yet, she also anticipated what Blaze was going to say.

"You mean to say that there was no sacrifice in the Fourth Sun Era ruled by Quetzalcoatl, and it was just as abundant, right? But aren't sacrifices going on now? Of course, you can say that I'm making far-fetched arguments and applying them mechanically, but this is the experience you gain after living long enough."

"And you..." Smoke Mirror patted Blaze's shoulder and said meaningfully, "You have had similar experiences, but you didn't think about these two things together."

"Omniscience, prophecy, future, destiny."

Blaze sighed helplessly. This was the rule that Smoke Mirror was talking about.

It cannot be touched or seen, but when you look back at the end, it seems to be the case. This is a dilemma that you can only understand what the problem is after getting the answer.

You don’t have to believe it, but if you don’t believe it, you might end up in misfortune.

"Little guy, you want to change the rules, but do you think that creating a powerful enemy is not taking a shortcut? It is so easy to change the rules by defeating those gods."

"Didn't you say that staying is courage, and choosing to escape is also courage. Changing the rules is courage, but is it not courage to follow the rules and find a way out within the rules?"

"You talk in a very eloquent way." Blaze rubbed his face with a headache. No matter what, he could not accept creating a group of human beings to be burned as firewood.

Let the new humans burn, and the old humans enjoy the world lit up by the burning of the new humans? What is the difference between that and the current underground gods?

"But my skills are limited, the best I can do is..." Smoke Mirror gestured with his fingers, "This long, one will probably take a year or two to burn."

"Hey, you seemed to use [root] to refer to humans just now." Blaze's eyes twitched, and he found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap of the smoke mirror again.

"Eh~ I did say that~" Smoke Mirror stretched out his voice. Although he pretended to be innocent, he had a smirk on his face. "Sorry, to me, human is just a pronoun. A stone is a human, and a leaf can also be a human."

"A candle can also be a human being."

It can burn, emit light, and is so small that Blaze can't think of any reasonable explanation other than a candle.

For other gods, he could still use "common sense of God" to explain, but Smoke Mirror knew people's hearts well, and she said this on purpose to make him misunderstand.

"Next time, can you say this first... Forget it, can this thing replace human sacrifice?" Blaze didn't intend to tangle with Smoke Mirror, and solving the rules of sacrifice in this world was the priority. "Not yet, this remains is the product of the sun of the first solar era that has been deposited in my belly until now. It has condensed power, but it may not be enough for sacrifice." Smoke Mirror threw the milky white remains in his hand to Blaze. This time Blaze did not refuse and caught it neatly.

It feels like finest paraffin wax to the touch.

Speaking of paraffin, we have to mention that foreigners came to this world, dug holes everywhere, and looked for a black substance called petroleum.

It is said that it is the product of ancient organisms deposited in the earth. It can be used as an energy source and can also be used to extract many useful things, paraffin being one of them.

Unfortunately, the stranger did not find it, but even if it really existed, it was probably mined by Theresa a long time ago.

If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the smoke mirror spits out a piece of wax. She calls herself the heart of the mountain and possesses the power of the earth, which is equivalent to the earth. The humans of the First Sun Era eaten by her are equivalent to being buried in the earth.

From the First Sun Era to the present, it also conforms to the process of [petroleum] production.

"The humans from the First Solar Era are not enough... so we need humans from the Second Solar Era and the Third Solar Era, right?"

"That's right~" Smoke Mirror turned over the mirror on his chest, and the mirror showed a bird with a tall and majestic body, naked head and neck, and fleshy cones above its nostrils.

"These are humans from the Second Sun Era. They turned into these birds in the rain of fire. We will use their feathers as the raw material for the wax core."

"And these are humans from the Third Sun Era." The smoke mirror passed across the mirror, and the birds were covered by thick fog. What appeared again was a huge fish that looked like it was made of steel.

"They transformed into these giant bony fish during the flood. We will use their scales and mix them with the feathers of the birds that humans transformed into during the Second Sun Era to make wax cores."

"I see... Why don't you go get these materials yourself? With your abilities, you should be able to obtain them easily." Blaze asked curiously.

He could see that Smoke Mirror wanted to solve the problem of sacrifice, but just didn't say it explicitly. So since he had this intention, why didn't he do it earlier.

Many foreigners have encountered similar problems. Now that he has finally become a party involved, he must ask clearly.

Smoke Mirror was silent for a moment, and just when Blaze thought she would get a very surprising answer, she smiled.

"Because I just thought of this method."

"Eh--"

Blaze expressed his disbelief with his drawn-out voice, while Smoke Mirror just continued to smile faintly.

"I said, this is a reward for you resisting temptation. If you fail to resist, then..."

A gust of wind blew by, it was black, cold and biting.

Blaze knew the answer.
