"The mummy of a previous king? And my suicide goddess? Why is it here? ”

The two things that should have been unrelated not only came together, but also pushed the [Cloud of Succession of the Throne of the Sun Empire] to unravel.

This discovery made Byron subconsciously frown, and his mind raced, trying to think about the connection between them.

"Atahualpa told me about the Empire before.

The average life expectancy of mortals is 35 years, and their limit is almost 150 years.

If you can't advance to the fifth order [False God] before your lifespan runs out and forge your own immortal godhead, you will begin to age rapidly, and eventually you will even be very likely to explode or collapse into a Sun Sacred Stone.

It sounds like the sun in its twilight years.

His father, the previous king, Vayna Kapak, failed to make that crucial move, but was much luckier than most of the descendants of the Sun God.

Instead of exploding or collapsing due to old age and death, he died like a normal person, leaving behind a complete corpse.

It is said that among the descendants of the sun god, it is usually only the deceased who have survived this kind of complete corpse.

These descendants of the sun gods are also strange, and they are the opposite of normal humans.

Others seek to die in battle, and the latter has a much greater chance of leaving a whole corpse than the former, and has a chance to be mummified. ”

Byron's intelligence channel is not only Atahualpa alone, but also relied on the power of the [Lord of Heaven] to infiltrate the collective subconscious of these Quechua people in the Solar Empire and absorb a lot of secrets.

This continent is a real animism.

Most of the people will return to the collective subconscious sea after death, a small number of people with extraordinarily noble bloodlines will enter the city of Machu Picchu in the sky and fall into a deep sleep at the feet of the gods, and some will become natural spirits by mistake.

In other words, in the Hundred Beast Paradise, where the blood moon is extremely active when the essentia tides are particularly active, life and death are not clear.

A very small number of nature spirits can even become new totemic gods, reborn from the dead, and return to the Empire.

Of course, these totem gods are just an example, and no one can guarantee that they will still receive this kind of heavenly opportunity after death.

The key point is that because the "Sun Codex" is too different from death, the [Sun God] and the many powers of the gods have not yet involved the authority of Hades.

No matter how noble or low, even the gods can't interfere too much after death, and they can't open the back door to future generations.

Therefore, most of those god-descended nobles will be mummified after their accidental death, acting as an anchor for their souls in the material world, at least one more chance than lonely souls and wild ghosts.

During family celebrations or sacrificial ceremonies, these mummies are brought out and fed with food, wine, and tribute to sustain their survival in the spiritual world.

If you can't become a fifth-order [Pseudo-God], you can also return in the form of a natural spirit or a [Totem God].

In this tradition, it is not uncommon for the mummies of the old kings to serve as anchors to communicate with his soul, and to be invited to witness history at the coronation ceremony that determines the next king.

As for why that crystal skull was on his body?

The only connection Byron can think of between the two is one:

Could it be that the previous king, Vayna Capac, saw that death was inevitable, and was unwilling to enter the city of Machu Picchu in the sky and fall into eternal sleep?

Therefore, he didn't actually die of old age by himself, but with the help of the power of the No. 13 crystal skull [Goddess of Suicide] to shelter the suicide, he cut himself off in advance?

Since it can promote the solution density, it doesn't feel like it's as simple as adding a few chances to your reincarnation totem god. ”

Byron was always looking forward to collecting thirteen crystal skeletons and synthesizing his first zero-level holy relic [Earth and Heaven]!

Among them, the thirteenth skeleton [Suicide Goddess], who acts as the gatekeeper of the heavenly kingdom and shelters the suicide and various undead, and the first skeleton [Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom] are equally important.

On this trip, he returned to his old job as the "Vanguard Pilot Military Dispatch Company", promising to provide military support to Atahualpa, one of the main purposes of which was to take this vital treasure from the royal treasury.

I thought that the so-called "dark clouds" referred to the open and secret struggle between the various forces behind the four princes.

Previously, the main energy was also put on the totem gods, the old god clans, and foreign colonists.

At this time, he unexpectedly found that this treasure was involved with the dead king, and his face suddenly became a little cloudy.

It wasn't until the Sun Chariot, which was escorting the King's Mummy, took the lead in passing through the road away for the two parties and flew to the island in the lake, that Byron straightened up with the others and said secretly in his heart:

"I'm afraid that this coronation ceremony will have unexpected events.

Now that we have come this far, we can only mention the twelve points of caution and take one step at a time.

At least I have a logbook, and I have far more comprehensive information than others, and when I get closer, I can directly usurp the supreme control of the [Suicide Goddess].

The most important thing is to help Atahualpa get through this first.

As long as you get the throne, you can plan slowly, and it's a big deal to find an opportunity to have a clever hand, after all, pirates are also thieves! ”

At this time, the third prince and the fourth prince, who were still-for-tat, were interrupted by their father's mummy, and they also felt bored.

Each snorted coldly and led his team, following the mummy to an island on the outskirts of the sacred lake where a magnificent sun temple had been built.

All parties also arrived one after another before the sun fully rose.

For the first time, Byron and Violet saw all the other contenders for the throne and their guards.

The distance is too far away from the [Logbook] to reach, but Atahualpa, who has paid off his attendants in advance and collected a lot of information, introduced them to them.

The first one is the eldest prince [Earthquake Light] [Earthquake Light] born to the former king and the earthquake dragon.

The real body is extremely majestic, even if it maintains its human height, it is close to one floor, and there are two other imposing guards standing beside him.

One of the guards who was only a circle smaller than him was his son, Rock Kapak, who also had the blood of the Earthquake Dragon.

The age of this eldest prince [Earthquake Light] is also an advantage to some extent, at least his sons have reached the prime of life, older and stronger than many princes of the same generation.

The other was an ordinary native, who looked like an ordinary [Child of the Sun] on the outside, but his aura looked vaguely different, and his face was too pale.

"Your Majesty, Lord of Heaven, it is also a strange thing, my eldest brother obviously has the bloodline of the totem god, but he usually rejects contact with the totem god the most.

All day long with imperial orthodoxy.

The second brother has pure blood, but he likes to mix with those totem god tribes the most, and he has never shied away from suspicion.

It's just two extremes. ”

Atahualpa was still uninformed, and Byron had long been accustomed to such a situation.

The more they have a relationship with a foreign race and are born from a foreign race, the more they have to take the initiative to avoid suspicion, and even intensify their opposition to it, which is the conversion fanaticism.

It's mainly an inferiority complex, and he tries his best to please others, so it's no wonder that he has a violent personality and will blow up at a little if he ridicules his background.

On the contrary, the more there is no problem with the identity, the less you have to care about these details.

Byron looked at the ranks of the second prince [Playboy] and [Frivolous] Vascal Kapak.

Standing beside him were obviously two female totem gods, who really trusted outsiders as much as the legend, and did not even recruit a single relative of the Sun God descendant.

A woman with transparent fly wings, six slender arms, and a pair of compound eyes is the [Totem God: Plague Messenger].

is also the mother of the fly lady in the scandal story.

Looking at their overly intimate looks, in addition to being difficult to explain, it is even more difficult to explain.

The other is a beautiful girl with a flower growing from her left eye, the fourth-order totem god [Flower Fairy].

The powerful succubus Thelise Ashubel that Byron had expected was gone.

From a distance, you can't tell where she's hiding without a logbook.

But Byron knew that in order to successfully hold the usurping promotion ceremony, the other party must have come here.

I just don't know what the mythical form of this succubus is, and what kind of identity she disguises is, the fourth-order and third-order present are actually possible.

Moreover, even if you can find the succubus's gyozo, you can't touch her until the ritual begins.

In the end, the team of the third prince [Hero's Blood] also walked out of two guards to stand beside him.

Both guards wore black hooded robes that were obviously strange things, which concealed their appearances, and they couldn't even see their appearance clearly, let alone their extraordinary abilities.

Atahualpa glanced at it and pouted:

"The third brother really learned badly from those white-skinned barbarians, hiding his head and showing his tail.

His territory is bordered by the sea, and there must be a lot of outsiders going to his territory, and I guess there is at least one white-skinned barbarian among them. ”

Except for the few brothers who observed each other-for-tat, most of the rest were third-order, and they all avoided it from afar, obviously not wanting to confront the four of them at the first time.

There were more than 200 sons and daughters of the old king, most of whom were assigned to administrative posts at various levels or to border tribes.

Neither manpower, financial resources, nor their own strength could be compared with their four governors.

But no one in this group has the idea of letting the four sandpipers compete for their own gains, no one knows.

Soon, when the sun was fully rising, a group of superior nobles from the Council of Nobles carried the old king's mummy to the main entrance of the Sun Temple.

The "Coronation of the Holy Lake" was opened by the High Priest.

"Bring sacrifices!"

A golden wool alpaca glittering golden in the sun was led up by the sacrifice.

After Atahualpa's whispered introduction, Byron learned that this was a beastly descendant of the fifth-order slave god [Alpaca God] Uqijoy, who had both the blood of the Sun God and the alpaca.

If it were more true, this alpaca might still be able to talk to them about cousins.

Referring to the earthquake dragon and the alpaca, it is clear that this is the fine tradition of the Capac royal family of the Sun Empire.

Anyway, the totem god has been able to break the reproductive isolation since the third order, and this hodgepodge-like creature is countless in the Hundred Beast Paradise.

Although the sailors of the ocean-going ships of the Old World also loved sheep, they were not at all a dimension compared to them.

I can only say one thing: cattle pies.

It is simply the ancient Greek god-king who was in charge of breaking the reproductive segregation.

"Baa Baa"

The High Priest pulled out an enchanted golden ritual knife and pressed the sturdy golden alpaca to the ground with one hand, muttering a word in his mouth.

To others, it sounds like a Guquechua language with an incomprehensible meaning, but it seems that it has suddenly communicated with some great existence that exists in the underworld, attracting his attention.

The ceremonial knife in the other hand was extremely skillful in slicing open the alpaca's belly, and the bloody and colorful internal organs with fascia flowed out instantly.

Baa ——!

Strangely, it should have hurt to the extreme, and the alpaca didn't move at all after the high priest let go of his hand.

Just straightened his neck hard, and his originally clear and pure eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, reflecting a glorious spiritual world.

The High Priest stared intently at its flowing entrails, and even reached out to pick up a part, his eyes shining like alpacas.

This is [visceral divination], which can not only divinate good fortune and evil, but also communicate with the gods entrenched in the high heavens with the help of the golden alpaca, a creature that is between life and death.

The high priest's incantation in Quechua grew louder and louder, and the 52 secret islands in the lake suddenly burst into light, each with a pillar of colorful light rising into the sky.

In mid-air, the difficulties and obstacles that the founders of the country once experienced were intertwined.

Manco Capac and his group of eight gods have traveled in the Ring of Fire Mountains for twenty years, encountering countless dangers along the way.

That period of history represents where the country came from, and in the collective subconscious of the 20 million people of the Solar Empire, it is also one of the most critical collective memories.

The fissures of the world in the lake carry essenti tides, and the fusion of that period of history manifests itself into the 52 islands in the lake, each representing a crisis they have encountered.

There are 52 secret islands, but it doesn't mean that there are only 52 kinds of dangers, and there is no problem in making up 9981 difficulties.

It's just that these 52 seats are the most typical.

Of course, no one would expect the princes to complete the complete route that the founding ancestors once walked, do they still think that these descendants who grew up in honeypots can reproduce the great deeds of their ancestors?

As long as the sacrifice is offered, only three to five of them will be randomly opened here, forming a brief "trial of ascension", and the end point is the [Sun Crown], which symbolizes royal power.

Whoever can put it on his head will be the ultimate winner.

"Your Highnesses, every time you go through a level, you must find a Sun Badge, and with the help of the Badge, you can enter the next level until you finally come to the [Sun Crown].

There are no restrictions on any means in between.

Now, the trial begins! ”

With the high priest's order.

Thundered

A stone door rises from the ground, and behind the misty door is clearly the starting point of the "trial of ascending to the king".

Under the leadership of the eldest prince [Earthquake Light], hundreds of princes, and twice as many of their guards, walked into the gate very consciously.

The moment Atahualpa, Byron, and Violet entered the stone gate, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"First Order: The Trial of the Lake Demon Jibarrow."

Phew——!

A gust of yin wind blew through the back of the heads of all the trialists, and even the fourth-order [Children of the Sun] couldn't help but suddenly stand on end.

It was as if the sound of gold coins colliding and women laughing could be heard from the depths of the lake behind the mist.
