Chapter 1373 No Sun, but No Dark Night of the Soul

Amaterasu waved her hand and asked Wemak to lead the humans down. When only the gods were on the top of the quadrilateral pyramid, she got straight to the point.

"I think we don't need to hide anything anymore." Amaterasu changed her dignified posture, lifted her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and then crossed her arms across her chest.

"Tell me what you want to do. Although I have already guessed it, it is still my imagination, not your own admission."

"Admit what?" Zuo Fengniao turned his head away in confusion, but there was a cold smile on his face.

"Admit that we want to punish humans because they no longer sing our praises? Or admit that we intend to let the Quetzalcoatl leap into the flames and transform into the sun of the Fifth Sun Age - Tonatiuh?"

"There's nothing wrong with admitting this. We've never hidden it."

Amaterasu clicked her tongue; she knew this would happen.

The best conspiracy is no conspiracy, and the best strategy is no strategy. The underground gods led by Zuo Hummingbird did nothing but watched and did not even add fuel to the flames.

They just watched Quetzalcoatl self-destruct step by step. No, they didn't just watch, they also suppressed the smiles on their faces and sang and danced silently.

"Your plan will not succeed. As long as Blaze brings back the Sun Robe, I can become the new sun of this world, and Quetzalcoatl won't have to jump into the fire pit."

"That's right, but you don't have a sun coat." The left hummingbird made way, and the heat waves caused by the blazing flames lifted Amaterasu's hair.

"Then there is only one way for you to help the world and Quetzalcoatl. That is to jump into this flame and transform into Tonatiuh, the sun god."

"If you're lucky, you might be able to just complete the reincarnation of existence like that defiler, while your will remains your own."

Amaterasu took a step towards the brazier, and she saw anticipation in the eyes of the gods.

Yes, whoever jumped into this fire pit and turned into the sun god Tonatiuh, they could use it to destroy Quetzalcoatl.

"How much do you hate Quetzalcoatl that such an important mission as saving the world has been delayed until now." Amaterasu sighed softly.

It can be said that the left hummingbird, who had almost answered every question, closed his mouth, but his smile became stiff and emotionless.

"and many more!"

The loud shout made everyone turn their heads at the same time, except Amaterasu, who looked up and sighed helplessly. The precious first "wait" was thus snatched away by someone else.

It was a hooded man, and although he hid his features, all beings could recognize his identity.

Quetzalcoatl appeared here. He stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, facing everyone's surprised gazes and walked towards the quadrilateral pyramid.

The gods could easily recognize Quetzalcoatl because the rejection and disgust they felt came from the heart, and humans could also easily recognize him.

The humans were therefore silent, staring in shock at the feathered serpent that was hiding their features.

"You finally showed up." Left Hummingbird raised his voice so that everyone could hear, "Brother, you ignored the prayers of mankind, listened to the wailing of mankind in the doomsday caused by you, and hid here for countless years, and then pushed a little girl out to take the responsibility for you."

"Now you finally come to your senses and want to make up for your mistakes?"

The left hummingbird's words caused an uproar in the crowd. This was a rather shocking truth.

What they want to destroy is not only Quetzalcoatl, but also everything related to Quetzalcoatl.

Is this slander? No, they are just explaining one thing fairly without any personal feelings.

Amaterasu clenched his fists and looked gloomy, but Quetzalcoatl did not react excitedly. He lifted his hood, showing his face full of scaly scars, and admitted it to the humans under the quadrilateral pyramid. "Yes, he said the truth. It was me who caused the Fourth Era to fall into darkness. It was me who hid in Turan City and complained about myself. It was me who listened to your pain and prayers but didn't dare to come out."

"You should be living a happy life under my care, but now you are suffering. This is all my fault. I am incapable of helping you. After all, I am not the Sun God."

"But today is the day that I return as I promised, to bring you light and prosperity."

"You will be happy. This is what you deserve because you have not succumbed to this darkness and have always lived a noble life."

Quetzalcoatl's words made the world quiet, and people looked at Quetzalcoatl.

That sounded like a confession of guilt, an admission of an unforgivable sin.

Logically, people should be angry. The god who promised them prosperity has always been there. Watching them suffer and arousing public outrage and abuse may be the purpose of Left Hummingbird.

But people just looked at the feathered serpent quietly, until whispers were heard after a while.

That's not what the left hummingbird wants to hear.

"Look at Quetzalcoatl's face. He should have been more beautiful than the goddess, but he became like this in order to shine on us."

"No wonder we were able to hold on. It turns out the Quetzalcoatl has always been by our side and has never left."

……

Amaterasu smiled helplessly. Is human’s reaction strange?

This is not surprising, because only such humans can survive countless years in the apocalyptic darkness without losing their humanity.

This is a world without the sun, so dark and empty, but the people living in it have never experienced the dark night of the soul.

They have never been confused, never suffered, and they live strong.

Even without the sun, their souls will not be lost, for they know that the return of the Quetzalcoatl will bring prosperity.

But has the Quetzalcoatl really left to the point where humans no longer know what it looks like? Look up, the Quetzalcoatl is always in the sky, its beautiful scales always shining on the earth and maintaining human survival.

Quetzalcoatl never left; this wasn't a difficult answer to guess.

Cruel nature will eliminate the weak, doomsday will eliminate kind people, and what will remain in the endless darkness are the humans who pursue that little bit of light.

The hummingbird on the left has a blank expression, it is the dark night of the human soul, but the feathered serpent has already been deeply trapped in it.

The brighter humans appear, the more Quetzalcoatl will hide in darkness because of its own guilt and torture.

The last dark place where Quetzalcoatl can hide is death.

Humans cheered from the bottom of their hearts because the legendary feathered serpent had returned, as if as long as the feathered serpent returned, it didn't matter whether the sun existed or not. But they couldn't see that the feathered serpent was slowly walking towards the brazier.

boom--

A figure dropped from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, interrupting the ceremony.

"finally reached."
