Chapter 371: Evil God
The undercurrent of the Force of War was first known by the gods, and the Mayan god Tonatiu was worried about it, but the god of war of the rainforest god Heatzilopochtli was excited to slap the throne of war, eager for the large-scale war that was about to break out.
He was dissatisfied with the fifth generation of god kings who occupied the orthodox position of Tonatiu for a long time, believing that the sun god of this generation was weak and deceitful, cruel and exploitative internally, and grovelled to the outside, otherwise he would not be forced by his northern neighbors to constantly spit out his territory and let the Maya be plundered by the Aztecs.
However, recent events have made the god of war Heatzilopochtli hesitate a little, the clouds in the sky have become much thicker, and the over-cultivated and increasingly barren land is like taking a great tonic, and it has been rejuvenated, even in the desert area where the Aztec kingdom, a powerful neighbor in the north, is located, and large oases of habitability have appeared one after another, and meadows with fertile water and grass are everywhere.
If it weren't for these miracles, the princes of the Aztec city-states would have attacked in advance, instead of going crazy to seize the oases, open up new settlements, and even divert the population and expand into new city-states.
In doing so, the growing contradictions within the city-state can be immediately diverted, the severe population pressure can be quickly alleviated, and the existential crisis caused by food shortages can be reduced.
However, the trumpet of war is sounded by the gods, and the priestly class, who revere oracles, and the royal families and nobles, who are most eager to open up territory, will certainly secretly contribute to the trouble, rather than pulling back at the critical time.
By the end of the three moon cycles, the Aztec kingdom had swallowed up a third of the pages of the Book from the Ground, and the eight most powerful city-states had been given a vibrant oasis that not only blocked the desert's southward advance, but also built a green barrier.
The main god Terscatlipoca used the supreme artifact Smoke Mirror to discover the origin of the existence of the Book from the Ground, but he also knew that once he captured all of them, all eight oases would disappear overnight, and the Aztecs who had migrated to the past would die a miserable death.
In the past, Texcatlipoca would have been glad to see this, even drinking the blood-colored wine made from the stirring of souls full of pain and hatred, but now is the time to use troops against his southern neighbor, and there must be no chaos in the rear.
After all, compared to the secret treasure at your fingertips, it feels so wonderful to bully the fifth-generation orthodox god king, the fierce and introverted sun god Tonatiu, groveling to seek peace.
It's one of the few pleasures in Texcatlipoca that sometimes even points to the long years of suffering. For the long-aged black sun, from the first era since the opening of the world to the current fifth age, he has witnessed the ups and downs of the four sun gods, and Tezcatlipoca has lived long enough, so long that he is a little tired of the drama of destruction and rebirth.
It's a pity that every time he destroys, he is the drummer at the forefront, because he once participated in the great cause of opening up heaven and earth, a little grace of creation has always protected him, and no matter how much evil he has done, he has never completely fallen so far, which can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.
The war that broke out between the Aztec kingdom and the Mayan kingdom was still a skirmish for the time being, after all, the warriors of both sides had not yet set foot on the battlefield. On a front line with intertwined teeth and teeth, a fortress or fortress built on a mountain needs several times more cannon fodder to be captured with difficulty.
As a result, before the Aztec invaders could gain a foothold, the Mayan warriors, led by the "Eagle", would regain the lost territory, and with great difficulty maintaining the battle line to avoid being broken by the enemy, they would drive straight into the capital, and the capital would be in danger of destruction.
After all, to the south of the front line with dangerous terrain, there are plains with flat rivers, and except for a few rivers, there are really not many places to defend according to the danger.
As the war raged on, the main god of the southern rainforest, Huizilopochtli, felt the rising force and immediately sent a dead messenger Raven to harvest the souls of the dead on both sides, and sent them to the underworld, his own territory, so as to bargain with the "smoke mirror" Teskatlipoca or the sun god Tonatiu.
However, recently, a new totem winged snake has appeared in the ash lake deep in the rainforest, according to the goblins roaming the mountains and forests, its posture is very similar to the fourth generation of the sun god Quizelquato, and it may return after exile, or it may be resurrected and reborn.
Once conspired with the "Smoke Mirror" Tezcatlipoca to assassinate the fourth generation of the god king of the god of war Huizilopochtli, to promote the rebirth of the destruction of the world, but during this period, unfortunately lost an important priesthood, especially the southern god and summer, which made the god of war, who once regarded himself as the sun, a lot weaker,
Unfortunately, the war between the Aztecs and the Mayans in the north was more attractive, after all, Tezcatlipoca the "smoke mirror" could attack the fifth sun god Tonatiu at any time.
If the god of war Whitzilopochtli intervenes at a critical time, he may be able to snatch the key priesthood from the vain and cruel Tonatiu, make up for the lost glory, and regain his strength.
It is precisely because of all kinds of concerns, the complex karmic relationship between the gods, and the mutual restraint and restraint between each other, that Ye Zhiqiu successfully took away the winged snake, and successfully survived the period of weakness, and finally waited for the time to be born.
The bottomless black lake, filled with ashes after the destruction of the world, appeared in response to the rebirth of the winged serpent, and the lifeless ashes surged into a clear spring, and the sky was raining with corn kernels, which lasted for a day and night.
In the early hours of the next morning, when the sun first rose, the dense rain clouds of lead gray quietly dissipated, and a brilliant rainbow hung on the Jianjiao Mountain, which looked like the rainforest was evenly divided into two halves from a distance.
Such visions and wonders made the god of war Huizilopochtli couldn't help but worry, and once again felt the early Fourth Age, facing the god king Quizelquato, who was known for his virtuousness, and heaven and earth were always caring for his son.
If it weren't for the late Fourth Age, the god king Quizelquato, under the persuasion of the demon god Trakhupan, who was incarnated by the "Smoke Mirror", drank the wine brewed by the blood sacrifice, and would not have become delirious and confused, become mediocre and incompetent, and finally could not fulfill the priesthood, and was abandoned by heaven and earth.
The god of war, Huizilopochtli, sat on the throne of war and couldn't help muttering: "When the sun god Quizelquato crossed the sea and left, he briefly came to his senses and made his final prophecy. When the people of the earth indulge in destruction, killing, and war, he will return from the sea on a raft made of snakes. This matter must be told to His Highness Texcatlipoca as soon as possible, and he can use the Supreme Artifact Smoke Mirror to peek into the origin of this newborn totem winged serpent. ”
He immediately sent an envoy, the monkey god Zuke, to report to the Aztec god in the north.
Who knows, the fifth-generation sun god Tonatiu, who is fierce and cunning, but also suspicious by nature, can usually sit back and watch the dead crows under the command of the god of war Huizilopochtli harvest souls on the battlefield, but now he can't sit back and watch the monkey god Zuke ride the gust of wind, pass through the territory of the Mayan kingdom, and go to the powerful neighbor Aztec in the north.
The sun god Tonatiu personally intervened and stopped the monkey god Zuke. After some torture, he successfully inquired about the mission of the Wind Bringer, and learned that deep in the southern rainforest, a winged serpent suspected to be the incarnation of the fourth king of the divine court, Quezelquatto, appeared in Jianjiao Mountain near the Ash Lake.
On the grounds that enemies of enemies are not necessarily friends, the sun god Tonatity imprisoned the monkey god Zuke and handed over this important message to the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca in his own name.
Despite the favor of the sun god Tonatiu, the Aztec kingdom did not stop the war, but the nobles and warriors of noble blood obeyed the will of the priests who worshiped the gods, and did not join the war, only the princes of the city-state continued to charge, which reduced the pressure on the border defense line of the Mayan kingdom, which can be regarded as a harvest.
The dark god Teskatli Poka used the supreme artifact "Smoke Mirror" to peek into the rainforest area in the south of the continent, and the god of war with high divine power, Huizilopochtli, made him feel somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, in the God of War Domain, Tezcatlipoca is not the opponent of this potential rival who seems to be friends and foes, and the war with the Mayan gods has not yet begun, just the battle of the earthly kingdom and city-state has made the sluggish god of war Huizilopochtli plump, and the dark god Tezcatlipoca is simply deceiving himself if he says that he is not angry.
Skipping the vile cowards, the scene in the smoke mirror of the supreme artifact, and pushing forward until the depths of the rainforest area, piled with ashes from the destruction of the world, a large black lake.
Right now, the winged snake was coiled on the Jianjiao Mountain, a pair of wings as white as a cloud, soft and flat on its back, wet and bloodstained feathers, obviously just metamorphosed.
In the end, he saw the true face of the winged serpent, the brilliance of the sun, and the divinity of the snake coiled into a ring, which was indeed related to the fourth generation of the sun god Quezelquato, but such a shallow divinity was no longer enough to be in its heyday, just a faint shadow of the past!
All this reassured the dark god Terscatlipoca a lot, and at the same time, he also concluded that this totem beast must have come from the Lake of Ashes: "According to my experience, it is estimated that the winged serpent is the old god awakened by the war!"
A mere totem, in the eyes of the gods, is only at the level of a beast, and the dark god Tezcatlipoca does not take it to heart. Immediately thinking of the god of war, Heatzilopochtli, whose divine power had soared, and all of them relied on the limited war between the Aztec kingdom and the Mayan kingdom, I couldn't help but want to disgust this old friend.
So, the dark god Tezcatlipoca injected a bit of poisonous snake nature into the body of the totem beast winged snake, preparing to change its fate and guide it to the darkness, and at the same time, under the nose of the god of war Heatzilopochtli, planted a bomb that could detonate at any time.
