Chapter 1389: Welcoming the Second Birth of Humankind

Blaze left the temple excitedly, and then he would bring a volunteer from the strangers to take on the challenge.

The temple returned to silence. Smoke Mirror wagged his tail boredly, looking at the Skinner sitting on the throne with great interest.

"So you said something like 'I don't want to care about humans anymore'. It can't be just because humans wear clothes."

"No, do you think I would do evil for such a superficial reason like you?" The Skinner propped up his head with his hands, his skinless body emitting a light that even the smoke mirror could not see clearly. "Besides, if humans continue the custom of wearing animal skins, then what is the difference between wearing animal skins and being naked?"

"Is not helping humans considered evil? I almost forgot that you are the same as Quetzalcoatl, but you are more easy-going." The smoke mirror turned into a night leopard and raised its body. In a burst of thick smoke, a human figure emerged with a charming posture like a mermaid emerging from water.

"Then I'll ask you the reason. After all, before I came here, I patted my chest and guaranteed that you were a person who was friendly to humans."

“Does not helping humans mean being malicious towards humans? To you, the distinction between good and evil shouldn’t be so superficial. But since you’ve asked, I won’t give up until I get an answer.” The Skinner changed his posture and tapped his eye sockets with his fingers.

"[Humans are too fragile]"

Smoke Mirror raised her eyebrows. This answer was beyond her imagination. Even she had to praise the tenacity of human beings.

With her continuous secret screening and hunting, the human race has been able to persist until now and still vaguely preserve the fire of civilization. This can only be described as "tenacious".

But I didn't expect it to be so fragile in the mouth of the skinner.

"For example?"

"【Ten Months of Pregnancy】."

"Ah?" Smoke Mirror was stunned.

The Flayed Lord put down his hands, stood up and left the throne, as if the next words could not be expressed in such a frivolous manner.

With his hands behind his back, he strolled through the temple, where every wall was covered with murals.

"It takes ten months of pregnancy for a new life to be born, and both the mother and the fetus are extremely fragile during this process. Pregnancy is a hurdle, birth is another hurdle, and growing up to be independent is another hurdle. It takes at least 15 years for a human body to mature."

"How many families out of a million can continue life with only a father and a mother?"

"Humans are so fragile. They rely on the group to continue into the future, but the process is so dangerous that if there is any turmoil, the human population will drop drastically."

"The end of the Fourth Sun Era has proven this. Even though Quetzalcoatl built such a beautiful kingdom, it was still easily destroyed. Civilization regressed. The time to destruction is just a blink of an eye for us."

Smoky Mirror tilted his head and shrugged frivolously.

"That's why I want you to help humans."

The Skinner laughed, turned around and looked at the smoke mirror with his arms open.

"Look at this beautiful and majestic palace. Humans built it to praise me for bringing them a good harvest. But I did nothing. Under the guidance of the feathered serpent, humans have already obtained a good harvest with their own hands. I am just enjoying their offerings."

"But when humans truly needed a miracle, when they needed me, I could do nothing. They were so fragile, and bringing harvest and prosperity to their civilization was beyond my ability."

"Now that the sun is gone, I can't help them any more, so I can't help them anymore. They should change their faith in a different god, or rely on themselves, instead of continuing to waste time on a god who can't help them." "Waste time?" Smoke Mirror showed a funny expression, and she raised her voice, "Is this a high-level sarcasm against Quetzalcoat? Do you know how much the beast fur coats you made have helped humans?"

"That's just drinking poison to quench thirst, and many people died trying to catch the beast alive. When faced with a real disaster, the beast's fur is just a branch to block the flood."

The Skinner shook his head and walked slowly towards the throne. The light on his body slowly dissipated, revealing his beautiful body as white as jade.

It is a beautiful female body that symbolizes harvest.

"The wound will heal. I have already been born with a new skin, which is the skin that symbolizes the harvest for mankind. If I cannot bring the miracle of harvest to mankind, then I will peel it off and reject the faith of mankind."

"You good gods are so obsessed with trivial matters. Are you extreme? We bad guys are free as hell and can get away with whatever we want. Haven't you seen how those other guys are relying on Left Hummingbird?"

The corner of Smoke Mirror's mouth twitched. The thing she dared not do most was to use her mirror that could see through people's hearts to look at Quetzalcoatl and Skinner, for she was afraid of being blinded by the light.

The Skinner did not respond, but closed his eyes, his golden eyelashes like wheat ears trembling slightly.

Smoke Mirror paced back and forth in the temple helplessly with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes fixed on the Skinner, as if he was thinking of some bad idea.

"I said……"

"When did you start to meddle in these boring matters? Don't tell me what you plan to do as the eldest daughter in the countless years to come."

Before Smoke Mirror could continue harassing her, the Skinner interrupted her.

"Oh, I'm the eldest daughter." Smoke Mirror made an expression of sudden realization, but then rolled his eyes and said mockingly on behalf of the Skinner, "Come on, we were created, and we were born as perfect gods. If you insist, we just happened to be born in a place."

"I'm just having fun."

"Then go look somewhere else. The birth of life is not such an interesting thing. It is a solemn and serious matter, too boring for you."

"Really? I think it's very interesting. You have no idea how interested I am in the birth of human beings. Even the gods cannot resist my temptation, but such fragile humans can, and they are not isolated cases, so I look forward to the birth of the child." Smoke Mirror whistled frivolously and appeared behind the Skinner in a nonchalant manner.

"But I don't think I need to try to convince you. After all, next up is your bet with Blaze. You might change your mind after the bet."

"It's just a loincloth. Isn't that the step that the boy was looking for? How could there be clothes that cannot be taken off in this world?" The Skinner shook his head helplessly.

"Who knows."

Smoke Mirror originally wanted to say that if the bet could not make the Skinner change his mind, then Blaze might have to use his fists, but considering that the situations of the Skinner and Quetzalcoatl are different, the probability of Blaze using his fists, which has a high probability of persuasion, is very low.

As for Blaze's mouth, it will only be most effective when he uses his fists.

There's nothing I can do.

After the sound of the smoke mirror died down, the Skinner closed his eyes again.

"I really want to make wild animal fur..."
