"If it is related, then I am atoning for my sins. If it is not related, then are we going to turn a blind eye to the suffering of mankind?"

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

"The answer is not important, what matters is us who will help them no matter what."

"So don't make that expression." Amaterasu squeezed Blaze's face hard, and the bright smile on her face illuminated Blaze's eyes.

"My moon, if you are not pure and white, how can you reflect my light?"

"I just feel a little bitter when I think about parting ways." Blaze smiled bitterly and placed his hand on Amaterasu's. "At first I thought you were troublesome, but it didn't take long for me to get used to you before you left."

"Ah! You said it! You said I was troublesome!"

Amaterasu raised her eyebrows and pinched Blaze's face, twisting it back and forth, "You little brat, it was you who came to interfere when I was determined to die with Yamata no Orochi, and forced me to give my body to you to help you defeat Yamata no Orochi."

"If you say this, people will misunderstand you." Blaze complained inarticulately.

"All right."

Amaterasu slapped Blaze's face with a loud slap. This time it was not a joke, but a real slapping sound.

Blaze shuddered and could no longer feel his own face. He thought he might be able to see two handprints if he looked in the mirror.

"Cheer up, I will just stay here and take care of this world. No one will be sacrificed and everyone can be saved. Isn't this the best ending?"

"...It's not that simple." Blaze touched his face, looked at the clothes on the ground, and sighed softly, "Didn't you hear what Weimark said? Quetzalcoatl lost its sun coat when it was fighting the black god."

"If you really want to replace Quetzalcoatl and become the sun here, you must wear the sun suit."

Amaterasu was not discouraged by Blaze's words at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she rubbed Blaze's face hard.

"This is you. Instead of looking ahead and behind, you should take every step in front of you carefully."

"Now, go find that suncoat for me."

Chapter 1347 Is That Enough?

The first layer of the ground world is always in a doomsday atmosphere. The sun scales in the sky that bring a little light are the only remaining hope but also the countdown to complete extinction.

Even the most noble warrior would feel inexplicably anxious just by looking at the sky, not to mention looking down, as the danger of death exists all the time in the darkness before their eyes.

In this atmosphere, it is difficult for humans in the first layer of the ground world to feel happy. They devote most of their energy to survival. Even the largest city of Turan is filled with an indispellable gloom and silence.

The only thing that would be somewhat lively is the [Sacrifice], which is extremely ironic and helpless.

People have to watch their fathers, their mothers, their wives, and their children turn into charcoal in the fire. The sun that lights up again and the beautiful butterflies flying into the sky are their only comfort.

At least it was not a useless sacrifice, the sacrifice was effective.

Today, the city of Turan is bustling with activity because the Quetzalcoatl has returned and all the tribes of the first-level ground world have gathered in the city of Turan.

It sounds incredible to gather everyone in the world, but it was indeed done, because there are really few people here. After all the tribes, big and small, gathered in Turan City, Blaze discovered that there were only a few hundred thousand of them in total.

This number seems a lot, but compared to the entire first-level world, it is far from enough.

Sacrifice is only one of the reasons. The biggest problem is the harsh living environment. The solar scales have existed from the end of the Age of Gods to the present, and the time span is incredible.

To describe it in the simplest and most straightforward terms, at least from the Age of Gods until now, even with the continuous sacrifices of humans to maintain it, uncontrollable losses will occur.

Once upon a time, solar scales covered the entire first world, and the silence of the first world was illuminated. That was actually the highest light of human civilization here, or the last glow of life.

At that time, the gods had not yet completely lost their divine power, and had fallen to the ground and lived in the same world as humans. The light emitted by the flames of civilization was second only to the sun scales in the sky. Although the feathered serpent had lost its scales, it was so noble that no one could match it.

It's a pity that the sun scales went out and fell one by one. Even if humans made sacrifices, it only delayed it.

Today, only a small part of the sun scales that once illuminated the entire sky remains, and the glorious past has quickly faded into today's primitive society.

Everyone is waiting for the return of Quetzalcoatl, and now Quetzalcoatl has really returned. He will bring prosperity and peace to mankind as he once promised.

This was the first celebration where no one had to make a sacrifice.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite for no one to sacrifice is to [retrieve the Sun Robe].

Although Amaterasu completed her transformation into the Supreme Sun through the Solar Parade with the help of Blaze, she still couldn't change one thing.

That is, the one that completed the transformation through the sun parade was actually the sun transformed from the flesh of Amaterasu in Blaze's belly. This is the same as the characteristic of Nero. The soul of the sun god Ra will leave the body at night and then return to the body at dawn.

Amaterasu is now attached to Blaze as a soul. Strictly speaking, she has no body. The power of the sun she displays is her manipulation of the body of her Supreme Sun in Blaze's belly.

The reason why she needed to recover through the solar parade every time she used up her power was because she, as the sun god, could not fully control the sun close to the supreme sun god Ra.

It would be fine if Blaze's body was used as an intermediary, but if the body was returned directly, accidents would inevitably occur due to the mismatch between the flesh and the body.

However, Amaterasu, who is only a soul, cannot act as the sun to shine on the world. This is the trouble and power of the sun god. Their bodies can turn into the sun, but after losing their bodies, the power of the sun god will drop significantly.

Therefore, if Amaterasu wants to watch over the first layer of the ground world, she needs the Sun Robe, which is a true artifact that only [Butterfly] possesses, and can turn any god wearing the Sun Robe into the sun.

The sun goddess Amaterasu can be said to be more suitable for the sun robe than Quetzalcoatl. Of course, in addition to the power of the sun robe itself, there is also its symbolic meaning, just like the legitimacy represented by the king's crown.

The task of retrieving the sun robe fell into Blaze's hands, but Amaterasu could not follow because she wanted to learn some local cultural knowledge from the princess.

After all, to be the sun here, one needs not only to shine and give heat, but also to give people knowledge and govern the kingdom. One can be said to be both a god and a king.

Fortunately, Amaterasu only needs to pick up her previous state of governing millions of gods, but when Blaze saw the smoke coming out of Amaterasu's head, he knew that this was not an easy task.

He left the chicken with Amaterasu to take care of each other, while he concentrated on looking for the sun robe.

Foreigners are experts at finding things, but unfortunately they have now set their sights on the destroyed world on the eleventh floor. They are like innocent children, who can play with a stone for a long time, and they will happily search for ruins.

In this huge first-level world, he can only rely on himself to find the sun coat. Fortunately, he doesn't need to bite the bullet and look for it like looking for a needle in a haystack, because the person involved is still here.

Weimark was in charge of maintaining order in Turan City. The fact that all the people in Turan City gathered together for the first time was not for sacrifice, which made this tough guy very excited. He wanted to get things done. Naturally, there was no one guarding the throne, and Blaze came in easily.

As expected, Quetzalcoatl was still drinking, and there were bottles of wine all over the ground.

Blaze came in, but Quetzalcoatl didn't react at all. He just turned his back and didn't make any statement about Amaterasu returning to replace him.

Although Blaze had never seen a feathered serpent like this, he had heard knowledgeable strangers talk about it, or to be more precise, complain about it.

In stories with very heavy backgrounds, there will inevitably be people who become extremely depressed due to excessive blows.

This kind of people will never say anything nice, they are always sarcastic and mocking. Not only is it difficult to seek help from them, but you will also be scolded.

Quetzalcoatl was undoubtedly such a person, so Blaze simply skipped the process of speaking in a nice and gentle voice.

"This is the finest wine on earth, the wine of Dionysus. If you help me, I will give you some."

"..."

Quetzalcoatl was silent for a while, then slowly turned around and spoke for the first time.

"Is that enough?"

"If you say something useful, I'll give you a bucket."

Chapter 1348 I can’t sleep at night!

[Dionysus Wine] and [Hermes' Traveling Hat] are absolute bestsellers. They are frequent guests at banquets of wealthy nobles, and are also the cup that ordinary people look forward to most after a day of hard work.

Of course, the biggest customers of [Hermes' Traveling Hat] - strangers, continued to support [Dionysus' Divine Wine] as always, contributing huge sales that far exceeded the ancient and modern times.

The size of the order even scared Kulene. Was there someone spreading false propaganda to the strangers? Otherwise, how could the strangers, who always consumed based on combat effectiveness, buy such a large amount of a bottle of wine?

Later it was discovered that it was the foreigners who had misunderstood. They thought this was really a magical wine and that drinking it could bring about some special state.

After the hilarious and rapid clarification of [Hermes' Traveling Hat], the stranger did not complain because the quality of [Dionysus' Divine Wine] itself was very high.

And who says that wine can't be used in combat? They directly made [Dionysus Wine] into some kind of incendiary bomb throwing weapon, which can be called a magic weapon for the novice period. Even now, it is still the main weapon against enemies who are afraid of fire.

This matter also made Cyrene sleepless at night. [Hermes's Traveling Hat] does not make two kinds of money, those stained with blood and those stained with greed, that is, it does not engage in arms business or honest business.

When Cyrene mentioned strangers, she always felt a mixture of love and hate. Needless to say, she loved them, as strangers always came to support her in every big deal, but she also really hated them.

Their spending power is so high that it seems like they have cooked the books or participated in false pyramid schemes. Their ability to organize things is so high that even an iron bucket can be transformed into a powerful cannonball.

What Kullene fears most now is the term [Novice Period Artifact]. [Novice Period] means low cost, and [Artifact] means inhumane effect.

Where can one get cheap materials to make weapons with such inhumane effects? [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

Back to the topic, Blazer only found out not long ago why the strangers were crazy about buying the "Dionysus Wine" in the beginning, because "Dionysus" is the name of a god. He is not only the god of wine, but also the son of the king of gods in "Olympus".

Cyrene used the name of her half brother simply to save trouble.

However, the taste of [Dionysus Wine] was indeed very delicious. The moment Blaze opened the barrel, the mellow aroma of the wine wafted out, and the pungent smell of wine between the thrones was dispelled.

Lying on the throne pretending to be dead, pretending to be drunk, pretending to be asleep, the Quetzalcoatl, who was pretending to be three times, couldn't help but sit up after he opened the wine barrel.

"My name is Kukucanl, and I was originally called Quetzalcoatl."

"As expected of the ruler of the Fourth Sun Era, you have grasped the essence of drinking wine accurately. One word in exchange for a sip of wine. But I also said that I will only give you a barrel if you say it's useful. I'm not interested in your real name." Blaze curled his lips, but still scooped a cup and handed it to Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl took the wine glass, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked at Blaze quietly and said meaningfully.

"[True name], especially the true name spoken by the gods themselves, is of great significance to them... This is a word from the gods to you. If a woman asks you for your name, you must answer with a false name. No matter what, the true name of the gods cannot be spoken by the gods themselves."

Blaze was stunned and pushed the barrel of [Dionysus Wine] in his hand in front of Quetzalcoatl.

These are indeed very useful words. Even if he does not regard himself as a god, it is an objective fact that he is a god. He does not know and does not care about some minor taboos that only gods can be aware of.

[God's true name] is definitely not just a name, it symbolizes almost everything about God. People only need to know the name of that God to know what kind of God that is. Just like Amaterasu, her name covers everything about her.

"Thank you, and [SKIP]."

Blaze thanked him sincerely. This time he was not worried about skipping his own life, because he knew that Quetzalcoatl would definitely follow up with sarcasm after he thanked him.

"Humph, I'm just worried that one day your power will be taken away, and you'll become an accomplice in wreaking havoc on the world. You, the God of Darkness, do have such potential." Quetzalcoatl snorted coldly and gulped down the wine.

See, even if it’s [SKIP], Quetzalcoatl doesn’t care at all and just wants to say those unpleasant words.

But Blazer also has his own way. He launched another barrel of wine. The old saying "honest advice hurts the ear, good medicine tastes bitter" makes sense.

Quetzalcoatl narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to speak, but Blaze spoke first.

"By the way, I think you want to drive me away out of some good intentions for me, so I will take every word you say as useful."

In other words, if you have a foul mouth, I will send you wine to prove that you said something useful. As you talk, you will find that you have not done the thing of [saying bad words to drive people away] at all. Not only that, but it is the opposite. The mountains of wine barrels are the embodiment of your kindness.

Quetzalcoatl's expression froze, and he immediately... lifted up a wine barrel and drank it all.

He responded in the dumbest way possible, by drinking them all so there would be no barrels left to prove it.

boom--

The wine barrel fell to the ground, Quetzalcoatl wiped his mouth, and looked down at Blaze expressionlessly. He was even more certain that Blaze did not have that much wine.

Blaze slowly stood up, turned and left the throne room, rode on the chicken and left the underworld to the large warehouse of [Hermes' Travel Hat], and then in the warehouse, he filled the god bag with wine.

During this time, a clerk tried to stop him, but Blaze's answer made the clerk let him go immediately.

[This is something that should be blamed on Kullene. This bastard had sex with the princess of the underworld, not only disrupting the harmony of her family, but also patting his butt and walking away, leaving me to clean up his mess.]

This statement would be a blatant rumor no matter where it was said. Kullene was the greatest person in [Hermes' Traveling Hat] except for the first generation president, and his status was extremely high. However, the clerk believed it immediately.

Because this was very much like something Cyrene would do, the old member who was in charge of the warehouse complained that Cyrene went to sell chocolate to the nobles, but ended up selling it to the bed.

The most shameless thing is that this guy still claims that he has paid a lot, even though the noble ladies and ladies who came to him were all beautiful as flowers.

Blaze didn't expect that he just came to get some wine, but he heard this shocking news that didn't surprise him at all. It was said that there were many branches of [Hermes' Traveling Hat] now, which were actually responsible for those noble girls and ladies who were devoted to Kullene.

The only thing that made the old clerk feel relieved was that Cyrene did not bring back a lot of children, otherwise [Hermes' Traveling Hat] would inevitably fall into the chaos of fighting for inheritance rights.

Chapter 1349: Concrete Kindness

Less than ten minutes after Blaze left, Quetzalcoatl drank up the two barrels of Dionysus Wine that Blaze had placed on the ground.

They do taste good, but it is a bit torturous to drink them quickly, especially when you have to maintain your human form.

"Uh--" Quetzalcoatl held the wine barrel, his face twitching uncontrollably. He may be a god, but he is not the god of the wine barrel. Being able to drink infinitely does not mean he can pour infinitely.

Blaze pushed open the throne and walked in. Quetzalcoatl immediately returned to normal and sat on the throne with a decadent look on his face.

But he couldn't speak because the wine would leak out of his mouth if he opened it.

bang bang bang-

Blaze piled up a mountain of wine barrels, casting shadows over Quetzalcoatl.

Blaze clapped his hands and sat cross-legged in front of Quetzalcoatl. He crossed his arms and stared at Quetzalcoatl. He raised his chin to signal Quetzalcoatl that he could continue.

Quetzalcoatl began to struggle between speaking nicely and never admitting that he was doing good things, and finally he took a deep breath.

"I vomit—"
