Players’ NPC daddy.

"What does it matter! You've already decided to leave that little girl here, and you won't take her away, because the world needs her to save!"

Veins popped out on Blaze's forehead, and he flashed in front of the smoke mirror. The punch he threw created extremely high temperature before it even touched the smoke mirror, which dispersed the thick smoke that the smoke mirror used to transmit.

This exceptionally heavy punch landed on Smoke Mirror's face. He would not give Smoke Mirror a chance to escape, but instead changed the direction of attack, causing Smoke Mirror to crash to the ground.

There were obvious fist marks on Smoke Mirror's face, but she laughed even more happily. Blaze understood the meaning of this smile. He had also laughed in the same way at the duplicity of those who were his enemies.

Now it was finally his turn, and like all his enemies, he fell into a rage without saying anything.

"Tell me, tell me you'll keep her here and watch her enter the fire pit and transform into Tonatiuh, the light that illuminates the world."

Blaze's fist landed on Smoke Mirror's face, but Smoke Mirror's laughter seemed to ring directly in his head and could not be dispelled no matter what.

He didn't understand. He should have made the right choice. Should he ignore the disaster of the world for his own selfish desires? Or should he deny Amaterasu's decision?

"Can't you find the answer to your question?"

Blaze's fist paused, and Smoke Mirror turned his face to the side, muttering miserably in a way that was not in line with his status.

She stroked her belly.

"Then just cut open my belly and dig out the light of the future. Then you will get what you want."

"Come on." Smoke Mirror slowly turned his head, with a crazy smile.

"Come on, come on, come on—"

"Shut up!"

Blaze raised his hand, fingers together. He didn't need a weapon, he could easily tear open the belly of the smoke mirror and take out the suncoat with his hands.

That's right, just take out the Sun Robe, then give the Sun Robe to Quetzalcoat, whip him hard, cheer him up and let him take up the responsibility.

In this way, Amaterasu will not have to stay!

[The answer you've been pursuing may not be important]

Blaze brought his hand down on Smoke Mirror's belly, but it was not a knife, but a fist, and the power was controlled just right.

"vomit--"

Smoke Mirror curled up and vomited violently, looking even more miserable than before, but Blaze stood by and watched with a cold expression on his face.

"You're lying. The Sunshirt is not in your hand, let alone in your stomach."

"Ugh—" There was a sound of nausea and vomiting from deep in Smoke Mirror's throat, like the sound of vomiting a ball of hair.

Blaze's expression froze, and he immediately added.

"Of course, if you really vomited it out, I didn't fall for your trick and didn't dye it in the process of obtaining the sun coat--"

Blaze originally wanted to say that his hands were not stained with blood, but he accidentally glanced at the blood on his knuckles. He quickly put his hands behind his back and rubbed his butt.

"Cough... cough! Blood."

Smoke Mirror retched for a long time, and just when Blazer was about to suspect whether she was acting, a milky white substance was vomited out.

"what is this?"

Smoke Mirror wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth and whispered weakly.

“The future is bright.”

Chapter 1366 It Was Never You

Blaze looked at the milky white object on the ground. He had a thousand words to say in his mind, and finally summed them up in one sentence.

"I won't touch the hair ball you vomited."

If he remembered correctly, a cat monster, or a humanoid cat spitting out hair balls was considered a stinky attack, and the consequences would be disastrous if hit.

As for the consequences, some extremely powerful cat-type BOSSes will deliberately use hairball attacks to add the final blow when killing strangers.

In this way, even if the stranger is resurrected, he will be surrounded by a foul odor and will be subconsciously disliked and avoided by the people around him.

That’s right, the cat-type BOSS will specifically target strangers who don’t take their own lives seriously and resurrect at will.

"This is not a ball of fur. I am a god. Do you think gods need to lick their fur?" Smoke Mirror shook his head and picked up the milky white object on the ground.

"I was just testing you, tempting you to kill me. Normally, no one can withstand my temptation. If someone succeeds, I will reward him."

"You are too twisted." Blaze's eyes twitched, and he had to admit that when God became perverted, he was only slightly worse than a stranger.

This result was not surprising though, as he realized that the smoke mirror was nonsense after he calmed down.

If the Sun Robe was really in the hands of Smoke Mirror, then judging from Smoke Mirror's behavior pattern, he should have said it at the beginning, and then arranged all kinds of pranks and really deadly tests to harass him.

Just now, when Smoke Mirror said that the Sun Robe was in his stomach, it was more like a spur of the moment statement.

"So what is this?"

"The remains of a giant from the First Age."

"Who wants this kind of thing?"

Blaze immediately took a step back in disgust. He did not criticize the fact that Smoke Mirror transformed into a night leopard and ate all of his own people when he was sitting on the sun of the First Solar Era.

The setting was too far away, and he had no idea about the First Solar Era. But even if he didn't criticize it, Smoke Mirror's act of giving away the remains of his own people was a bit too dark.

"Do you think what I just said was a joke?" Smoke Mirror had a blank expression on his face, and he did not put down his hand holding the milky white object.

"Now the gods have gathered in Turan City. The brazier will be lit soon. Surrounded by the gods, a god will step into the brazier and burn to be reborn, becoming Tonatiuh."

Blaze's expression darkened. He turned around without saying a word and walked towards Turan City. But just after taking two steps, he heard the sound of Smoke Mirror staggering after him.

The sound of the prosthesis hitting the ground was extremely harsh.

Blaze stopped, raised his head and took a deep breath. He did not bully the old, weak, sick and disabled. Although the smoke mirror was annoying, he had to admit that the smoke mirror and the [old, weak, sick and disabled] were on the same level.

He is old and disabled, and considering that he vomited after being punched by him, he can be considered [sickly].

When a person stops, his mind starts to work, and Blaze figures this out.

That was a shocking, yet reasonable answer.

"Their target is not Amaterasu, but Quetzalcoatl."

"Isn't this natural? That's Quetzalcoatl, Kukucan, the beautiful feathered serpent. How could he watch a little girl jump into the fire because of his mistake?" Smoke Mirror sneered and tapped the mirror on his chest with his fingers.

"Neither you nor that little girl from the Sun God are part of the plans of the underground gods. Their target has never been you two accidental intruders, but always the Quetzalcoatl."

"Always?" Blaze frowned. If this was not something Smoke Mirror said casually, then this word would mean that the underground gods had a long-standing conspiracy against Quetzalcoatl.

"The Quetzalcoatl is an eyesore, isn't it?" Smoke Mirror shrugged and limped around Blaze. Thick smoke spewed out of the obsidian mirror on her chest, forming human shapes around her.

"In the past, the gods only needed to wave their hands occasionally and give humans a little breathing space during disasters, and humans would then be grateful and sing praises for everything."

"But Quetzalcoatl didn't give them this opportunity. Although Quetzalcoatl was not an omniscient and omnipotent god, he was omniscient and omnipotent. He brought whatever humans desired."

"Good weather, prosperity and well-being. Unless the Quetzalcoatl is disappointed with humans and regards humans as dirty things, even if a new sun is born, the most dazzling one and the one that people sing praises will still be the Quetzalcoatl. Then why not let the Quetzalcoatl be reborn in the flames and become the sun?"

"Sun God Tonatiuh, is that what you spied through your omniscience and omnipotence?" Blaze waved his hands, trying to disperse the thick smoke, but the smoke seemed to be an extension of the will of the Smoke Mirror, and it was just as shameless and could not be driven away.

"No~ That's the result of calculation. Seeing that others have the Sun God, we naturally want to have the real sun. We did calculate the birth of the Sun God, but..."

Smoky Mirror paused for a moment, and she squeezed her eyebrows upward as much as possible to make herself look really helpless.

Unfortunately, she failed because she was born with a malicious face, so Blaze waved his hand and told her to be more natural.

"There's something wrong with the world itself. It's too big."

"In addition to the origin world, we have twelve complete worlds. It is larger than the surface world combined, and as a price, it needs to be injected with more vitality to make it come alive."

"Initially, it was the gods who offered sacrifices, and then it was humans. Perhaps the monster was still alive, and it greedily devoured the life force on earth with revenge. In any case, [Sacrifice] has become the core and basic rule of our world."

"This will also be reflected in Tonatiuh, the sun god at the center. Without sacrifices to provide it with power, it will not be able to rise into the sky and illuminate the world. Of course, there may be another worse situation. Without sacrifices, it will not rise into the sky."

"This……"

Blaze felt a headache. He strongly suspected that Smoke Mirror had deliberately made his words so final so that he would have no choice but to choose the option she provided. But it is better to be safe than sorry.

The news of Quetzalcoatl's return has been conveyed to all humans on the first ground level, and they are gathering towards Turan City.

As long as the gods add fuel to the fire, no, as long as they show Quetzalcoatl how much humans need him and the sun, Quetzalcoatl might take the initiative to sacrifice itself and transform into Tonatiuh.

At that time, the purpose of the underground gods will be achieved, and the "sacrifice" will never end.

He looked at the milky white object in Smoke Mirror's hand.

"So this is what you came up with?"

"We're going to use this to make new humans."

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 did not intend to get entangled with the smoke mirror, and solving the sacrifice rules of this world was the priority.

"Not yet. This piece of remains is the product of the sun from 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."
