Players’ NPC daddy

"Quetzalcoatl will not come back, father. You know this better than I do. If this world is waiting for Quetzalcoatl to return and save it, then this world will have been destroyed." The princess held the sandbag and sighed meaningfully.

"Our sacrifice merely delays the decay of a corpse."

Weimark lowered his face and clenched his fists as if he was suppressing something, as if the princess' words had touched upon something.

Amaterasu looked at the father and daughter who were full of the smell of fire, coughed lightly, and was about to reveal her identity.

"Actually, I am..."

"Quetzalcoatl has never left. He has been sitting on the throne. He will not bring us any abundance or salvation because he will get himself drunk."

"Cough cough."

Amaterasu started coughing violently, and Blaze was also shocked. He had always thought that Amaterasu would be the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, but he didn't expect that he was wrong.

However, compared to the question of which god Amaterasu is the reincarnation of, the atmosphere between the father and daughter, which is like a volcano about to erupt, is more difficult to deal with.

"Then do you know why he got so drunk?" Weimark's voice was hoarse and the princess' expression was calm.

"I know, that's why I suggested we leave."

Weimark and the princess parted on bad terms.

This is a proposal that is doomed to fail. Not only does it go against the noble mission left by our ancestors, it will also shake people.

[Shaken] In a world where living is simple, this is a very scary thing. Not only is it extremely lethal, it is also highly contagious and can easily destroy everything.

So the princess, the source of infection, was locked up, but the cell had neither a door nor a lock.

Blaze followed behind Weimark with a complicated expression.

Cyrene did indeed do something remarkable for the princess, and that was the second path.

"So that great king is the legendary Quetzalcoatl, and he never left."

"...That's right." Weimark took off the turquoise night leopard fur that was a symbol of status. He sighed deeply with a complicated expression.

"The surname [Xiu Tekutli] and the name [Lord of Turquoise] have only one meaning, and that is to keep this secret."

"Today's humans rely on the prophecy that Quetzalcoatl will eventually return to survive, but if they see the Quetzalcoatl's current appearance, they will only fall into despair, and every noble sacrifice they made before will lose its meaning."

"That's why the princess wants to find another way out. This may be a solution. It's definitely not because she doesn't have the courage to escape dedication. Abandoning this homeland and heading for an unknown world is also a kind of courage." Blaze tried to ease the conflict between father and daughter.

But Weimark just shook his head and took the night leopard fur back.

Blazer then realized that Wemark didn't think that his daughter just wanted to avoid sacrificing herself, but that he believed in his daughter, but he had more unspeakable reasons.

"Outsider, even if you tell me how beautiful the world outside is, I will not leave."

"why?"

Weimark did not answer directly, but waved at Blaze.

"Please follow me. You will know the reason when you see the feathered serpent."

Chapter 1345: Drunk Quetzalcoatl

The center of Turan City, the palace where the great king resides.

Weimark told Blaze as he showed him the murals on the wall.

Their civilization was destroyed four times. Four gods turned into suns to govern the world on the ground. The four gods also symbolized four solar eras.

Unlike other mythological totems, the sun was not born as the sun. It is like the fur of another beast. The god wearing the sun clothes is the sun.

This is really not a good thing. No matter where the sun is, it is the center of everything and the source of life. Wearing a sun suit does not mean that you can become a qualified sun.

Instead, the effects of the sun are affected by the characteristics of the god wearing the sun robe.

The first is a black god, he is a god of darkness, not only that but he is also a lord of impermanence, the king of the present.

All the qualities he possessed were opposite to the qualities that the sun should exhibit. As a result, he was transformed into a broken sun, a black sun, wearing a sun robe.

The result, of course, was the destruction of the First Era, when the black god transformed himself into a night leopard and devoured all living things.

But the black god did not give up. He used extremely despicable means to cause the Second Solar Era to be destroyed in a rain of fire and the Third Solar Era to be destroyed in a flood. Although the creatures in the era were not completely destroyed, they were transformed into other creatures.

The Black God is so unscrupulous, but the gods have no way to deal with him, because he is the first of the original four Smoke Mirrors born by the original god, and also the most powerful one.

The gods were helpless and invited one of the few gods who were not afraid of the black god and even had equal power to the black god to become the sun of the Fourth Age.

That is Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl has a high compatibility with the Sun Robe, and he becomes the most competent sun god. Under his leadership, humans live and work in peace and contentment, but the black god comes out to make trouble again.

Destroying everything was just like destroying everything of the Black God. Quetzalcoatl fought against the Black God. A strong wind was raised during the battle. The sun clothes were blown away by the hurricane and disappeared. The world lost the sun again.

But before humanity was destroyed, a disaster occurred, the world where the gods lived was torn apart, and the gods fell.

Weimark told a joke that was not funny at all. He said that they were actually still in the Fourth Solar Era. After all, the extinction of humans in the previous three solar eras marked the end of the era, but they were still alive now.

After the joke came the bitter reality. Wemak brought Blaze to the door between the thrones where Quetzalcoatl was.

Compared to the simplicity of other places, the surrounding area can be said to be extremely luxurious, with treasures piled up like mountains.

Blaze did not see a greedy king in the treasures. Instead, he felt like he had entered a mausoleum. These treasures were just the king's burial objects.

He shrugged his nose and could faintly smell a pungent smell of alcohol. Before he even entered, he knew that Quetzalcoatl must be in a pretty bad situation.

Blaze took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and opened and pushed open the door between the thrones.

The smell of alcohol turned into a wave and erupted. Blaze squinted his eyes, and Amaterasu even covered her eyes in an exaggerated manner.

[Deadly drunk] is no longer suitable for the man lying on the throne drinking, it should be described as living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death.

The final decency should be that the person lying on the throne sleeps well without snoring loudly.

Blaze stepped between the thrones, gazing at the god whose return even now people waited for at the cost of self-sacrifice.

He was a handsome man, his clothes decorated with green feathers, but his face was covered with scaly scars.

It was not just one or two scales, but densely packed scaly scars all over the body, as if a snake man had pulled out all his scales.

This is consistent with the story that the feathered serpent tore off its feathers and turned into little suns in the sky.

The feathered serpent on the throne slowly opened its eyes, and its bloodshot eyes slowly turned to Blaze.

"who are you?"

"Haven't you noticed me a long time ago?" Blaze spread his hands. He didn't believe that there was someone in this world who didn't snore when sleeping. If there was, it only meant that the person was pretending to sleep.

"Oh." Quetzalcoatl simply replied with one syllable and closed his eyes, being frugal with words.

"I have something to ask you, Izanagi, Izanami, and the parrot, you must know this."

Quetzalcoatl, who was drunk, finally opened his eyes completely. He changed his posture from lying down to leaning on the throne. He looked down at Blaze and supported his head with his right hand.

He looked at Blaze, and his gaze lingered on Amaterasu, who was looking hesitant behind Blaze, for a few seconds. In just these few seconds, he seemed to know everything.

"I know... you want to know about the past. Just as you guessed, the gods did intend to let humans repair the thirteenth world so that they can regain their divine power."

Quetzalcoatl fumbled out a glass of wine and began to drink from it in big gulps. His face turned red, one eye was empty and the other was wide open, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"It's just that the gods didn't deceive humans. They didn't need to deceive. If humans didn't have absolute loyalty to the gods, the gods would have destroyed humans long ago."

"As for the parrot, that was indeed an oversight. People who are as greedy for power as he is generally not brave enough to jump into the fire pit. As for what you want to know."

Quetzalcoatl shook the wine glass in his hand, burped, and looked at Amaterasu with a teasing expression.

"...Let me guess, you want to know whether you were clean in your previous life, and whether you participated in this inhumane conspiracy."

"Be happy, you are clean and have nothing to do with us." Quetzalcoatl was laughing, and his laugh was very casual, as if he was drunk, but his eyes were red.

"Izanagi came to ask the gods to help him save the world from being ruled by the parrot, but the gods refused him. Because the world was still turning upside down, the parrot, the false sun, could only last a hundred years, and the world above would eventually be destroyed."

"So he decided to save the world that would only exist for a few hundred years. No one knew what happened after that. He stopped praying to us. Perhaps another god couldn't stand it anymore and helped him, allowing him to give birth to the sun, the moon, and the storm."

"This is the answer you wanted. You can leave now." Quetzalcoatl waved his hand, casually ordered them to leave, and then lay back on the throne.

Blaze looked at Quetzalcoatl quietly. He should be angry. The humans outside were sacrificing themselves for Quetzalcoatl and waiting hard for Quetzalcoatl.

People are not even waiting for Quetzalcoatl to redeem them, they are just waiting for Quetzalcoatl to return, but Quetzalcoatl is drunk here, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

But he only had mercy, God would not get drunk with that ordinary wine.

He couldn't sleep or get drunk, and could only face the unknown pain in his heart.

Chapter 1346 The answer is not important, the decision is important

"Hmm~"

Amaterasu held Blaze's neck for the first time in a long time, hanging herself on Blaze's back and making a sound of thinking.

She said this suddenly.

“I think I’ve become a great philosopher.”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I discovered a philosophical theory." Amaterasu shook her head twice seriously, then leaned over and whispered in Blaze's ear with an attitude of "Don't tell anyone."

“That’s [The answer you’ve been pursuing may not be important].”

"You have successfully grasped the essence of philosophers, which is not speaking human language, but what else? Do you intend to become a great philosopher just by relying on this sentence?" Blaze rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"So what you mean is that even though you know you have nothing to do with the conspiracy that Kagutsuchi mentioned, you don't care about it anymore, right?"

"That's right. It would be embarrassing to worry about what a guy like that said."

"I don't know who cried like a cat after that. It hasn't been half a day yet." Blaze muttered. Amaterasu didn't get angry. Instead, she hung on Blaze's back and swayed as if no one was around.

Weimark came out a step later and put away the wine bottles between the thrones. The tall man was doing housework in a very unconventional way, and when he left, he covered the feathered serpent lying on the throne with a blanket.

After Weymark closed the door between the thrones, Quetzalcoatl opened his eyes, but quickly closed them again.

Facing the gazes from Blaze and Amaterasu, he just sighed and told the whole story.

"Don't be fooled by Quetzalcoatl's appearance. He is the only god who refuses to allow human sacrifices. He is also the only god who helped the man named Izanagi."

"He peeled off his scales so that humans no longer needed to make sacrifices and could survive on this land. However, the opposite happened..."

Blaze spoke the following words for Weymark.

"The sun scales need fuel, but human sacrifices cannot be stopped. For Quetzalcoatl, this is no less than initiating the human sacrifice ceremony with their own hands."

"That's why he lies there drunk all day."

Weimark smiled helplessly, "He is a god who is very harsh on himself. He is as cold as a snake, and loves his feathers like a bird. He cannot tolerate any filth in himself."

"He ridiculed other gods for using their powers to commit evil, so he used wisdom to govern the Fourth Sun Era. Legend has it that during the heyday of the era ruled by Quetzalcoatl, humans only needed to enjoy themselves, and Quetzalcoatl was responsible for everything."

"But now, not only has he lost everything except the power that could bring disaster, but he also has to listen to the burning sounds of humans offering sacrifices for his scales all day long."

Blaze and Amaterasu listened quietly, and Wemark also opened up. These were his inner thoughts that he could only reveal when facing Blaze and Amaterasu, two outsiders.

"I know what my daughter said is right, and it is good for everyone, including Quetzalcoatl. Humans have a new home and no longer need to make sacrifices, and Quetzalcoatl no longer needs to feel pain because of humans making sacrifices for him, but..."

"This means that we will leave Quetzalcoatl alone in this place where there is only despair. If even we, who were created by the gods, abandon the gods, what will be left for the gods?"

"I understand." Amaterasu smiled brightly. She supported Blaze's shoulders and put her hand on Wemark's head.

"I will be your sun, I will save you, and you will save Quetzalcoatl."

……

"Do you really want to do this?" Blaze hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say to Amaterasu.

"Well, it's decided."

Amaterasu nodded casually, flipping through the clothes sent by the people of Turan City.

She told Weimark to inform everyone that Quetzalcoatl would return. She wanted to take care of the world in Quetzalcoatl's place, but her luxurious kimono was a bit out of place, and would make people here feel that she was not of the same kind as them.

She didn't want to be the sun high above, she wanted to be close to the people, so she had to change into the local people's clothes.

"Wow~~ This is so bold." Amaterasu picked up a set of clothes. To be honest, it was hard to describe it as clothes. It was basically a small amount of animal skins and feathers, as well as some gems.

Exposing the waist, especially the navel and thighs is a huge challenge for Amaterasu.

But Blaze didn't care about these. He was a little worried, so much so that he didn't even notice Amaterasu walking in front of him.

"The answer you've been pursuing may not be important." Amaterasu said suddenly. She held Blaze's face in her hands and chuckled.

"[I am innocent, I am a good person, and I have nothing to do with this cruel conspiracy], if I come here just for this answer to witness the despair and struggle of these humans, isn't that despicable?"
