In the end, Wu Niang decided to gamble with Qi Xuansu.

The two of them went up along the steps, and at the end was a layer of recessed arched doorway, and each arch in the upper part was supported by columns, and the columns in front and back were close together, leaving no gaps in the middle, and the more the position of the columns in the back, the closer the left and right distances, making the palace gate form a horizontal funnel shape.

In this way, the outside of the door opening is the largest and most open, and the further you go inside, the smaller it becomes, and the innermost part becomes a straight passage, like a tubular part under a funnel.

It's a veritable snake road.

Above the arch is a large stone fresco depicting a large tree with a large serpent encircling it with wings on its back.

There is no doubt that the Great Serpent is the god Quetzalcoatl, which means Kukulkan. This tree is most likely a symbol of the World Tree.

The two walked into the snake path, and there was no golden gate at the end, but a layer of mist.

Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang had already made up their minds, and without the slightest hesitation, they walked through the mist.

At the other end of the fog, there is still an antechamber.

However, this vestibule is extremely open, more like a square, with no dome above, and you can see the clear sky and the sun hanging high, illuminating the whole square.

In the middle of the square there is a circle of seats, which just form a semicircle, around a sun pattern. It seems that this square is also a meeting room.

In the deepest part of the square, opposite the arched doorway, there is an upward staircase, shrouded in golden light, and at the end of the staircase is the dormitory of Kukulkan.

Just after Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang stepped here, the entire square shook.

In the golden light in the direction of the dormitory, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils lit up, each one as tall as a person.

A loud voice rang out: "Uninvited guests from the East, why did you rush into my palace and come to my dormitory?"

There was no doubt that the pair of scarlet vertical pupils were actually snake pupils.

The owner of this voice is none other than the current sun god, the former Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan.

Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang directly woke up the sleeping god.

As he spoke, a huge snake head slowly poked out from the golden light of the staircase.

The head of the snake is so large that all the details can be seen very clearly, and the scales are like mirrors, reflecting the human figure. But the most striking thing is the pair of snake eyes, which are as red as the sunset.

With the appearance of the head of the snake.

There were also figures on those seats.

The girl of the moon who is too beautiful to describe in words, the hideous and ugly old woman with tiger claws, the rotten man with the head of an owl, the middle-aged man with armor and a feather crown, the beautiful woman with a beaded skirt and a crown, and the man with four faces.

Qi Xuansu knew some of these gods, and some didn't.

For example, the Moon Maiden and the Tiger Claw Old Lady at the beginning were Ichichel and Chuck Chel. There is also a rotten man with an owl's head, which corresponds to the description of Death.

Kukulkan's voice continued to sound: "Ishchel, the goddess of the full moon, childbirth, and weaving, Chakchel, the goddess of the stars, moon, and floods, A. Puche, the god of death in the north, Urakan, the god of war, Henokra, the goddess of the south, and Chayak, the god of rain."

"A group of rebels and thieves who don't know how to obey, all of them are raccoon dogs."

"Uninvited guests driven by ambition, do you also want to snatch my crown?"

Kukulkan answered Qi Xuansu's questions.

It turned out that the full name of the god of death was Ah Puche, and the official title was the god of death of the north, and its counterpart was the southern goddess Henokra, that is, a woman wearing a crown and a beaded skirt. As her name suggests, she has a deep relationship with the empire Nohepeten, which was once ruled by the Old Gods, and it is likely that Noheperten's royal family is her descendant, and her crown seems to confirm a point.

In other words, the god of death, Apche, rules the world of the dead and resides in the north, and the goddess of the south, Henokla, rules the world of the living and resides in the south. This corresponds to the death of the Beidou master and the birth of the Nandou master of the Daomen.

This is also for all the immortals

The inherent pattern, life to death, sun to moon. In the Central Plains, the sun and the moon are the true monarch of the sun and the true monarch of Taiyin, the Qingdi and the true monarch of Si Ming correspond to life and death, the Qingdi Lord Nandou, and the Si Ming True Monarch Beidou are the two star lords, but the Qing Emperor is finally completely integrated into the heaven and earth, and there is no self, so Si Ming Zhenjun took the opportunity to steal part of the authority that belongs to "life", which is called to be in charge of life and death.

The god of war, Urakhan, is a special deity, if the northern god of death Apche is the god of evil, and the southern goddess Henokra is the god of good, then he is a neutral god, and there is no distinction between good and evil. He symbolizes war, has a close connection with the human empire, and is a god of worship for warriors and armies, and war often brings killing and death, so he is friends with the god of death.

At the same time, he was also in charge of hunting and was the god of hunting.

Qi Xuansu wanted to solve the problem of the ancient gods, so he naturally did some understanding of the ancient gods, for example, he had always known about the existence of the god of death, but he didn't know the name of the god of death, and thought that there was something wrong with the file of the West Daomen.

Qi Xuansu knew the names of these gods, but he couldn't correspond to the specific images, and he didn't correspond to them until Kukulkan was named one by one.

What surprised Qi Xuansu the most was the rain god.

According to his understanding, in this god system, there is a founding god, that is, the founder of the god system, equivalent to the ancestor in the patriarchal system, named Unabku, who has the highest status, but has left this world.

The second is Itsamr, the head of the gods, known as the god of heaven, the lord of heaven and the lord of night and day, the god of the sun, and the husband of Ichchel.

The third is the rain god Chayak, it is said that this is a composite god, Qi Xuansu didn't really understand what a composite god was before, but now he knows, it is four faces, which can become four different gods, representing the four directions of east, west, north and south. The one who represents the East is a red-faced, named Chuck; Representing the West is the black face, called Ek; Representing the South is the yellow-faced, called Kank; Representing the north is a white face, called Sack.

The fourth place is Yum, the god of corn, because corn is the main food crop in the New World, so the status of the god of corn is very high. Don't think it's funny, think that corn is a god, it's just a make-up. In fact, this is not the case, the Central Plains people often say how the Jiangshan Sheji is, the Jiangshan is very easy to explain, what does the Sheji mean? She is the god of the earth, and Ji is the god of grains. There is no essential difference between the corn god and the grain god, and they are both extremely important food crops.

Therefore, the corn god is equivalent to the god of the Central Plains, and now Daxuan also has a shrine in the imperial capital, and its status is second only to the altar of heaven and earth.

The same is true of the rain god, the reason why his status is high is not in the rain, but in the symbol of the four directions, just like the five mountains, which are all linked to the country, the world, and the country.

Putting aside the founding god Unabuku who has left the human world, the three highest-ranking people in the entire god system are the god Itsumna, the rain god Chayak, and the corn god Yum. Even if Itsumner dies in battle, it should be the rain god Chayak, then the corn god Yum, or the fourth-ranked Ichchel temporarily in power as a widow, and it should not be Kukulkan in any case.

Although Kukulkan's ascension to the throne had the support of Chuck Chel, it now seems that the corn god Yum did not appear on these seats, so it is most likely that he has fallen. The rain god, who was once the number two person, was at the bottom and was seized power by Kukulkan, probably because he suffered a heavy blow and was unable to compete with Kukulkan.

It can be inferred from this that after the Holy Court launched the Divine War, the three gods with the highest status were hit by the Holy See's key blows, and in the surprise attack of the apostles, Itsumner and the corn god Yum fell directly, and although the rain god survived, he suffered heavy losses and suffered a great loss of divine power.

Kukulkan seized the opportunity to seize the position of the main god and became the leader of the gods.

In many myths, it is believed that snakes have a huge ability to devour, and the Central Plains people say that people's hearts are not enough for snakes to swallow elephants. Westerners believed that snakes would gnaw and swallow the World Tree, and in the New World, snakes swallowed the sun to symbolize the phenomenon of solar eclipses.

Kukulkan's seizure of the position of the sun god undoubtedly confirms this legend.

It's just that this kind of legend is not an auspicious omen, but a kind of evil omen similar to Si Chen, which means that yin and yang are reversed, and chaos is coming.

As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done. Kukulkan's move will also certainly attract opposition and dissatisfaction,

Ichichel and Jayak are supposed to be the opposition.

However, listening to the meaning of Kukulkan's words, he actually denounced all the ancient gods as traitors, and then thought of Kukulkan's situation at this time, alone, without even a gatekeeper, it can't help but make people think of a possibility, that is, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and Kukulkan has become a lonely person. o

Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang didn't speak.

Kukulkan seemed to be immersed in his own world, and he didn't care about the reaction of the two, and after angrily scolding the gods, he looked at the sun hanging high above the square: "O sun, your power is undoubted, and you can push me to a higher realm, so that I have the power to destroy those rebels and thieves."

Then Kukulkan turned his attention to the two of them again, and the huge snake body behind the snake's head kept pouring out of the golden light, appearing in the square, as if there was no end: "Do mere mortals dare to challenge my authority?"

When Quetzalcoatl's folded wings also left the golden staircase and appeared in the square, and spread his wings, a huge divine power swept across the entire square.

Kukulkan cried out, "I am the god of heaven and the sun! He is the king of the gods!"

Under the impact of Kamui, the seats and the figures on the chairs became blurred and twisted, and seemed to dissipate at any moment.

Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang seemed to have encountered ordinary people in a sandstorm, and they had to cover their faces with their arms, and their bodies couldn't help but retreat.

Kukulkan raised the head of the snake high, and the mouth of the snake was open, as if it had a scorching sun in its mouth, and the wings behind it were fully spread out, covering the sky and the sun.

He condescendingly looked down on Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang, and his erected snake pupils radiated a dangerous and indifferent light: "Kneel, mortal! Repent, mortal! Atonement for what you have done, mortal!"

As the words fell, the sun hanging high above the square became extremely dazzling, like a golden light, containing the ultimate light and heat.

The accompanying majestic divine power is wantonly cathartic, as if the rolling angry waves are about to crush people.

Qi Xuansu immediately realized that Kukulkan was indeed not comparable to ordinary immortals, and he was infinitely close to the strength of a one-tribulation immortal, that is, a quasi-one-tribulation immortal in the definition of the Daomen.

If any of the three divisions were here, or if Jiang Dazhen, who was sitting on four immortal objects, would certainly not be afraid of Kukulkan, but only Qi Xuansu was at this time.

Maybe in many years, Qi Xuansu can also be afraid of Kukulkan, but it is definitely not now.

Faced with such a scene, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but waver.

Could it be that he was wrong?
