This is their noble mission, and warriors covered in the skins of wild beasts will leap into the flames without hesitation on the day of sacrifice.

Their flesh and blood will continue the little sun that shines on the world now, and their souls will give birth to the sun that will shine on the world in the future.

Blaze had a small doubt about this matter, that is, there was no blessed person here, and no one with a level.

Everyone here is an ordinary person. He has also confirmed their strength during the tug of war among the beast-skin warriors. They are ordinary people.

It would be fine if such an ordinary person successfully hunted the wild beast, but when he fell from the sky, he observed from a distance and found that there were many high-level monsters here.

The high priest explained his doubts, saying that the beast furs worn by the warriors were not only a decoration of their status, but also a kind of power.

When warriors fight, the beast furs will give the warriors the power of the corresponding beast, making the warriors infinitely close to the owner of the beast fur.

As for where this power came from, the high priests called it a gift given by the gods who created them.

Now Blaze could understand why Amaru, an ordinary person, could always stop the Night Leopard. Amaru, wearing the fur of a Night Leopard, would have strength close to that of a Night Leopard when fighting, so it was not surprising that he could fight against a Night Leopard.

Once the small questions are solved, the real big problems will come.

Blaze looked back at the high priest and asked in a low voice.

"Couatl left because there was a problem repairing the thirteenth floor."

"That's right. The priest chosen by the gods to go to the Twin Heavens to repair the world brought bad news. A parrot desecrated the sacred ceremony, claimed to be the sun, and affected the fifth creation. It's just that..." The high priest lowered his head, letting the wild boar mask hide his expression.

Even if he didn't say it, Blaze guessed what the high priest was going to say.

According to Kagutsuchi, being a priest is not a noble position. On the contrary, it is a position that only weaklings who cannot hunt wild beasts can hold.

Judging from the attitude of the people around him towards him wearing the rabbit mask, they probably have no interest in what Izanagi is going to do.

"That was too far away, and the content that has been passed down is very vague. We only know that Quetzalcoatl left a prophecy that he would return. If you really want to know about the past, you can only go to the first layer and look for the only remaining underground gods. They have existed since ancient times and know everything that has happened in this land."

Blaze sighed in disappointment.

"One more thing, did Quetzalcoatl say how it would repair the world when it returns?"

"Yes, when the four Smoke Mirrors gather together, the gods will once again possess the original power and recreate this world."

Four Smoky Mirrors...

Blaze narrowed his eyes, he should have seen an incarnation of Smoke Mirror, the Night Panther.

Although the high priest said that when the four Smoke Mirrors gathered together they could repair the world, looking at the behavior of the Night Leopard, even though he had only fought with him, he was sure that this guy would not cooperate, but would rather make trouble.

The credibility of this prediction is not high.

"I understand. I plan to go directly to the first level of the underground world." Blaze did not intend to waste time. He needed the shortest time possible to meet the gods underground.

If for no other reason, he intended to stop the human sacrifice rituals in the underworld as soon as possible.

He couldn't tell the people here what to do about their views on death. It was a beautiful idea for noble warriors to become butterflies after death, but he had reasons to stop them from constantly making death sacrifices in order to survive.

As he entered this majestic complex, he noticed that there were no old people here.

To be precise, there is no one who has aged. The oldest person that can be seen is a middle-aged man in his prime, wearing animal skins.

There is no need to guess where those who are supposed to be getting older have gone.

Today's surface world has six sides and the territory is infinitely vast. They only need to go to the surface, and their culture will bloom beautifully on the surface.

But judging from the pious attitude of the high priest, if the underground gods do not agree, they will not leave and will continue to offer sacrifices.

If the underground gods wanted humans to continue to make sacrifices in order to return to the surface, then... Blaze didn't think about it any further. He would naturally know what to do at that time.

Chapter 1338: Sun-Eating Monster

Regarding Blaze's plan to meet the underground gods immediately, the high priest immediately pointed out the direction for Blaze.

That is the huge pillar called the [Axis of Calpui].

This pillar once supported the four directions of their world and maintained the normal order of the world, but this pillar was also the first to collapse. Now the only remaining gods live in the broken pillar.

However, he expressed helplessness and apologies for the rabbit mask on Blazer's head.

Including this cursed rabbit hood, all the beast furs come from the supreme red smoke mirror and are genuine creations of the gods. He, as the high priest, is only the strongest warrior in the tribe and has no ability to lift the curse.

Once the rabbit mask is put on, the conditions must be met before it can be taken off, otherwise there is no way to remove it, so Blaze, the returning feathered serpent, still has to endure the weird looks from people around him.

Of course, he would inform everyone of Blaze's identity, which would at least prevent everyone from looking at Blaze.

Blaze rejected the high priest's suggestion. He was in no mood to care about such little customs. At worst he could just run faster.

But before leaving, Blaze had one more thing to confirm.

"When is your next sacrifice? Is it a fixed time?"

"No, it's when the sun scales are about to go out."

"Then..." Blaze asked tentatively, "If any powerful monster is defeated here, will the sun scales burn longer and your sacrifice be postponed?"

"Yes."

"I see." Blaze recalled the conspicuous monsters he saw when he fell. He planned to kill some of the monsters before going to look for the underground gods.

The purpose of searching for the underground gods is to permanently solve the sacrificial problem, but he cannot ignore what is going to happen. It will be troublesome if the sacrifices continue while he is solving the sacrificial problem.

After saying goodbye to the high priest, Blaze quietly slipped out of the tribe, rode on a chicken and began to look for his target.

Chicken ran through the dense forest with Blaze on his back. Blaze tilted his head and said, "Okay, it's time to come out. Now that you're here, you should face it."

Amaterasu slowly appeared behind Blaze, and her hands, which used to be around Blaze's neck, were now around Blaze's waist.

"Feel sorry."

"If you're apologizing for taking the sun scale and causing me to get caught, there's no need. They only gave me a rabbit head anyway."

"It's not this..." Amaterasu raised her head and looked at Blaze. Just as she was about to say something, her cheeks puffed up because of Blaze's head wrapped in plush rabbit skin and the rabbit ears shaking on top of his head.

“Pfft——I’m really sorry about this. You look like a funny character right now.”

Blaze rolled his eyes helplessly. The culprit who caused him to wear a rabbit head laughed, but considering Amaterasu's mood, he would be happy if his bad luck could distract Amaterasu and make her a little happier.

"Comedy characters never die. I'll just take this as a blessing."

Facts have proved that no matter how bad your mood is, funny things are still funny. If you don't try hard to hold it back, you will burst out laughing if you are not careful.

Amaterasu was deeply shocked by Kagutsuchi's words, and after learning about her own horrible past, she became depressed and autistic.

After arriving in the underground world and seeing the adults there with smiles on their faces and proudly discussing when they would jump into the fire as sacrifices, and the children looking on with anticipation, saying that when they grow up, they will also sacrifice their bodies to the sun scales in the sky and their souls will turn into the earth of the thirteenth world, Amaterasu became even more gloomy.

If it had been in the past, her first reaction upon learning about this would have been to raise her fist and teach all the gods here a lesson. However, since this matter was related to her, she could not raise her fist.

Amaterasu felt bad that she was one of the culprits, but Blaze's bunny headgear was so funny that she couldn't help but keep her eyes on Blaze's dangling bunny ears.

Finally, she couldn't help but stretched out her evil hands and grabbed Blaze's rabbit ears.

"Aren't you in a bad mood?"

“This… let’s put things one thing at a time.” Amaterasu smiled awkwardly without taking her hands off the rabbit ears. She certainly couldn’t resist the temptation of the rabbit ears dangling around, so she might as well continue pulling them like that.

"Okay, you seem to be in a good mood, so I have to ask you something. For example, regarding the feathered serpent, have you ever felt any [memories of your past life] before?"

"Hmm... no." Amaterasu shook her head and muttered, "In the Age of the Gods, I had to deal with millions of gods every day. Although there are no millions of gods in the Takamagahara period, in order not to affect the lives of the humans in Takamagahara, I cannot move freely. In a way, I am more tired."

"With a life like this, there's no time for me to have any memories of my past life."

"That's true." Blaze sighed helplessly. There was still too little information. What the high priest said was what Kagutsuchi had said, with just some slight differences in details.

Kagutsuchi and the high priest are like two different views on the same thing. Kagutsuchi believes that the underground gods have ulterior motives and just want him to rule the world again, while the high priest believes that the underground gods are trying to save the world.

Which one it is can only be known by actually meeting the underground gods. At that time, Amaterasu’s knot in her heart may be resolved.

"Come to think of it, I just wanted to get some cocoa beans at first, but it turned out to be so complicated." Blazer scratched his brow with a headache. A trivial matter turned into a major event that concerned the lives of countless people.

"arrive."

Chicken warned, Blaze looked over and a giant bear appeared.

This giant bear looks quite strange. Its body, as huge as a rock, is normal, but it has green bird feathers around its neck, making it look like it is wearing some kind of sacrificial costume.

[Sun Eclipse Bear LV250]

[When the sun scales lose their heat and fall from the sky, it will rush over, devour the scales and gain the remaining sun power.]

This is the habit of the monsters in this last earth. They look at the sky, waiting for the suns to fall, and then eat them.

The feathered serpents have disappeared, and the number of sun scales will no longer increase. Even if the sun scales fall, they can be raised into the air again through sacrifice, but these sun-eating beasts will take the sun scales for themselves.

Not only that, they also possess certain characteristics of the sun scales. They hunt humans, eat humans, and use human flesh to complete sacrifices in their own bodies to activate the power of their own sun scales. They are out-and-out evil beasts.

Blaze tossed the Gungnir in his hand and pointed the tip of the gun at the Sun-Eating Bear.

Chapter 1339 Special Killing Method

In the eyes of the first-level ground tribes, the Sun-Eating Giant Bear is in the second row, second only to the wild boar.

Blazer believes that this ranking is still quite valuable. Perhaps in terms of pure combat power, the tiger should be ranked first, and the wild boar should be ranked third, but in terms of the degree of danger, it is still the wild boar.

The basis for this ranking is [fertility] and [maturity speed]. The mature ones are naturally quite powerful, but whether they are bears or tigers, they all have the weaknesses of poor fertility, low survival rate of young children, and slow maturity.

On the contrary, wild boars do not have this weakness. The old saying "the output is like that of a sow" is no joke. It is not a problem to give birth to more than a dozen babies at a time, and it is even less of a problem to raise all ten of them.

A bear or a tiger might be able to defeat a wild boar at some cost, but they could never defeat a group of wild boars. This was even more true in this first-level world.

The sun is the source of life, and if given the chance, any life will try to devour the sun. This is not some evil thought, but instinct.

I'm afraid that most creatures here, except humans, aim to eat the sun scales, so the wild boar's super strong breeding ability has become one of the biggest disasters.

Blaze approached the Sun-Eating Bear holding Gungnir. The Sun-Eating Bear's nose twitched and it slowly turned its head to look over.

After eating the sun scales, it is not surprising that it has such a high level.

"Roar." The sun-eating beast just roared, and then it was like a falling rock, taking heavy steps and attacking at an astonishing speed.

If it were on the surface, most of the wild beasts would either run away with their tails between their legs or surrender after seeing Blaze. It has been a long time since we have seen a wild beast monster that rushes over so directly and efficiently.

This is probably related to the traditional customs of this land, that one can gain power through sacrifice.

The only difference is that humans maintain the strength of the sun scales in the sky through sacrifice, while the sun-eating monsters kill their enemies and use their enemies' lives to sacrifice to the sun scales in their bodies. This is just like the blessed ones crushing the enemy's soul flame to gain experience points and increase strength.

In this case, the Sun-Eating Monster will actively choose to fight no matter what enemy it encounters.

The Sun-Eating Bear rushed to Blaze, opened its arms and struck him directly. The level of this attack was far beyond what was expected at this level, and all the surrounding trees were crushed.

Under normal circumstances, Blaze would have had a good time with it, but now he was in a hurry.

[Gungnir] was thrown out and instantly penetrated the Sun-Eating Bear like a flash of light. The Sun-Eating Bear didn't even react to what happened before it fell in front of Blaze.

Blaze stretched out his hand and caught the returning Gungnir.

He once again felt the power of Gungnir, which was worthy of being Odin's weapon to fight against Ragnarok, but this was just like Ragnarok was inevitable and destined to destroy the gods.

The situation where Gungnir can kill everyone is often a situation where Blaze can win by himself, but when Blaze really needs Gungnir's ultimate move, the enemy always has various abilities that can directly invalidate Gungnir.

Of course, there is another situation that Blaze does not want to take the opponent's life. This [Gungnir] will not hold back when it strikes, and the enemy will definitely die.

But that situation basically doesn't happen.

After the death of the Sun-Eating Giant Bear, it did not turn into dust and disappear directly, nor did the soul flame appear. Not only that, the body of the Sun-Eating Giant Bear began to emit a faint light.

Blaze, who was in contact with Amaterasu, the sun god, could clearly feel that this was not the feeling of a monster being sacrificed to the sun scales in the sky after death, but rather the feeling of [the sun setting].

The sun sets, which means the sun will rise the next day.

"I just praised you a little." Blaze flicked Gungnir, then used Gungnir to poke the body of the Sun-Eating Bear to finish off the enemy, but it had no effect.

The Sun-Eating Bear is indeed dead, it's just resurrected. This scene looks very familiar.

Blaze raised his head and looked towards the sky. There was the Second Night Kingdom, the first level he had to pass through to complete his solar tour.

The dark creatures inside were all within the hunting range of [Fatal Execution], so he could easily break through the encirclement of the dark creatures, but after the dark creatures died, their bodies also fell to the ground and did not disappear.

Because the Sun Tour was a limited-time challenge, he didn't have time to investigate, but according to the stranger, only by using the correct process can you kill the dark creatures, obtain the soul flame and drops, otherwise these dark creatures will be resurrected the next day.

That is the characteristic of [Nero]. The soul will leave the body at night, and return to the body to complete the resurrection during the day. But the dark life of the kingdom of night is completely the opposite. Their soul will leave the body only when the day comes.

Therefore, killing them at night is meaningless, as their souls will not leave their bodies, and they will be resurrected as if nothing happened after the world rotates.

Only by dragging their corpses under the light of the Earth Core God and allowing them to enter the [daytime], will their souls leave their bodies and usher in true death.

The first few layers were fine, but the further out you went, the stronger the dark creatures became, and the smaller the area covered by the light of the Earth's core.

Strangers once complained that in the Kingdom of the Twelfth Night, the light of the Earth Core God hardly fell there, and even if it did, it only lasted for a short time, so the monsters there were basically invincible. However, they did not complain that much since they could directly strip the materials.
