"And these are humans from the Third Sun Era." The smoke mirror passed across the mirror, and the birds were covered by thick fog. What appeared again was a huge fish that looked like it was made of steel.

"They transformed into these giant bony fish during the flood. We will use their scales and mix them with the feathers of the birds that humans transformed into during the Second Sun Era to make wax cores."

"I see... Why don't you go get these materials yourself? With your abilities, you should be able to obtain them easily." Blaze asked curiously.

He could see that Smoke Mirror wanted to solve the problem of sacrifice, but just didn't say it explicitly. So since he had this intention, why didn't he do it earlier.

Many foreigners have encountered similar problems. Now that he has finally become a party involved, he must ask clearly.

Smoke Mirror was silent for a moment, and just when Blaze thought she would get a very surprising answer, she smiled.

"Because I just thought of this method."

"Eh--"

Blaze expressed his disbelief with his drawn-out voice, while Smoke Mirror just continued to smile faintly.

"I said, this is a reward for you resisting temptation. If you fail to resist, then..."

A gust of wind blew by, it was black, cold and biting.

Blaze knew the answer.

Chapter 1368 Humans of the Old Times

Smoky Mirror, a god who does whatever she wants, a thoroughly evil god, but just because the evil god does a good thing doesn't mean she has changed her ways.

[Good] [Bad] is not important to Smoky Mirror. What matters is what she wants to do and whether she is happy.

She wanted to test Blaze, and Blaze passed the test, so she gave Blaze what he wanted as a reward, and that was it.

This is Smoke and Mirror's own statement. As for what the truth is, Blaze has no way of knowing.

It is not a wise move to test the heart of a powerful and sensitive woman.

However, before collecting these two materials, Blaze still had some concerns.

"Do we really not have to worry about Turan City?"

"There's no point in worrying. You know what kind of being Quetzalcoatl is. He's powerful and self-centered. No one can force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, and vice versa." Smoke Mirror raised the mirror, and Quetzalcoatl's gloomy face appeared in it.

"Tonatiuh is an open conspiracy against Quetzalcoatl. Once Quetzalcoatl decides to make a sacrifice, no one can change his mind. Even if he admires you, he will not stop just because of your unfounded words, unless you produce results that he cannot find fault with."

"You know him well."

"We are born in opposition, and no one understands him better than me." Smoke Mirror took off the mirror on his chest and placed it in Blaze's hand.

"So hurry up and gather all those materials, and then tell the Quetzalcoatl the answer it wants to hear in front of the burning brazier. This way, the conspiracy of the gods will be disintegrated. As for what will happen to this world in the future, it is none of my business."

"I understand." Blaze breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the mirror. The reward for the smoke mirror was really good. It was a path he was willing to take. All he had to do next was to keep going.

"You gave me the mirror, what about you?"

"I have a bigger one." Smoke Mirror waved at Blaze and stepped back, transforming into a night leopard as he stepped into the shadows.

"The rewards end here. The rest is your business. If you fail, you will hear my laughter in the darkness."

"thanks for your encouragement."

Blaze curled his lips. He originally wanted to send Smoke Mirror for help, but it seemed that Smoke Mirror saw through his idea.

There is no other way but to do it myself honestly.

Fortunately, this is not a complicated matter. The mirror provided by the smoke mirror is like a map. You can switch between the two targets of birds and giant fish by swiping left and right. You can start positioning and guidance by just taking a picture. It is quite advanced.

Blaze prioritized the birds of the Second Solar Era as his target, as they were relatively close.

Flying creatures were eliminated by nature because they flew towards the sun, but that doesn't mean that winged creatures became extinct.

Humans in the Second Solar Era were transformed into birds in the rain of fire. As birds, they had wings. Although they could not fly into the sky, they could fly short distances at super speeds.

【Four Rain Turkey LV85】

Witnessing the rain of fire from the sky, they prayed with all their hearts, hoping that if they could become part of it, they would survive. So they transformed into birds that resembled flames, unable to reach higher in the sky because they would eventually fall.

"Is it a monster?" Blaze was lurking in the bushes and observing. If he had not heard the origin of the Four Rain Turkeys from Smoke Mirror, he would not have been able to associate the monster turkey in front of him with humans.

Perhaps the four-rain turkeys that initially survived the destructive rain of fire could still be considered human beings, but over the years, the four-rain turkeys were no longer them, but them.

No trace of the former civilization or anything else is left.

Blaze sighed lightly and then shook his head. Now was not the time to worry about such things. He had to collect all the materials as soon as possible. After all, the smoke mirror only said that it could be done, but whether it could be done or not would depend on making the candle and conducting experiments.

He took a step forward and accidentally broke a branch. The next second, all the four turkeys looked over at the same time. The scene was weird and oppressive.

Then, they opened their mouths full of thorns and screamed at Blaze. They were not running away in fear, but attacking, or hunting.

I took it back. Not all of them had forgotten. The survival skills of the humans of the Second Sun Era flowed in their blood. Over countless years, these skills became more brutal and powerful.

……

"Those guys..." Amaterasu lay on the rock window, muttering to herself about the underground gods headed by the left hummingbird.

She had clearly stated in a firm manner that she did not want human sacrifice, but the underground gods led by Left Hummingbird still arranged the scene and prepared for the ritual of human sacrifice as usual.

The brazier that was covered in blood in her eyes had been placed on top of the huge quadrilateral pyramid, and the black charcoal in it was already emitting a faint red light.

Not far away are foreigners who are setting up the defense line of Turan City to protect the people, while inside are the underground gods who are going to use human sacrifices. It is extremely ironic.

If possible, Amaterasu would like to immediately run to the foreigners to expose this matter, and then let the foreigners kick the butts of the underground gods hard, but unfortunately she can't do that.

The underground gods are not important at all, the only problem is the hummingbird.

The problem lies with Quetzalcoatl. He is the one with power and prestige and is the center of everything. The development of things may take a huge turn at any time because of Quetzalcoatl's thoughts.

Her idea was simple. As long as Quetzalcoatl stood up and kicked the brazier over, shouting "I'm back!", everything would be fine. If he could kick all the underground gods away, it would be a double blessing. Unfortunately, Quetzalcoatl would not do that.

A mental mysophobia, a perfectionist, a self-aesthetician, this extremely twisted personality has created a world that still misses Quetzalcoatl, but it has also caused the current predicament and is pushing Quetzalcoatl into the abyss step by step.

Amaterasu recalled the way the underground gods looked at Quetzalcoatl. These guys had exactly the same fear and disgust when talking about the black god as when they looked at Quetzalcoatl, which was the complete opposite of the black god. Their arrival this time was definitely not just to join in the fun.

There must be more hateful targets related to Quetzalcoatl.

"No, I still have to go talk to Quetzalcoatl about this."

Amaterasu stood up with a bang, she waved her hand, and Vidoflnir followed behind her, feeling very safe.

She couldn't just sit there like a vase and do nothing until Blaze came back.

Chapter 1369 I Will Leave

With a bang, the throne was pulled apart by Amaterasu.

Quetzalcoatl, still slumped on the throne, had a calm expression. He could hear Amaterasu's heavy footsteps from a distance.

“Shouldn’t you still be fighting against traditional clothing?”

"Those are all small matters. There are more serious problems now." Amaterasu thought about what to say next.

First of all, it is definitely not a good idea to speak frankly. She and Quetzalcoatl have only known each other for less than two days. Why should Quetzalcoatl trust her and doubt the underground gods who he has known for who knows how long, not to mention that his younger brother Zuo Hummingbird is among the underground gods.

Even if he suspected that the underground gods had other intentions, why did Quetzalcoatl think that the underground gods were planning something evil?

While Amaterasu was still racking her brains over what to say, Quetzalcoatl took the initiative to speak.

"Are you really going to leave that boy and become the sun of this world?"

"...What else?" Amaterasu sighed softly, her hands hidden in her sleeves, and she strolled among the messy thrones. "I have many reasons to do this. This is the place where my father and mother originated, and it is also half of my hometown."

"The people here are very kind. As a passing god, there is no reason for him not to help. And... he wants to help this place."

"This is... a huge sacrifice." Quetzalcoatl frowned sadly.

His performance was a bit dramatic and exaggerated, but this was Quetzalcoatl's true thoughts, and Amaterasu was the one who was hurt because of him.

They shouldn't have to endure the pain of separation.

Seeing tears beginning to well up in Quetzalcoatl's eyes, as if she was watching a tear-jerking story, Amaterasu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although this action was very un-goddess-like, she couldn't ease her inner helplessness if she didn't do so.

Quetzalcoatl is not a dramatic person, nor is he boastful; that is just his nature.

"Don't think too highly of yourself. I think you know that the main reason I decided to stay is because of Blaze."

"I know that even though he's an annoying kid, he's still a good person. He can't ignore the suffering he sees, and he can't ignore the misery he hears, but he can't tell you to stay, so you made the choice for him."

Quetzalcoatl wiped his eyes and smiled bitterly.

“I’m not the only one trapped by my ego.”

"So you know it too." Amaterasu muttered, and she gave up the idea of ​​persuading Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl knew everything, but just continued to do his own thing.

Then it was no use what she said, she just lay on the rock balcony, looking down at the world.

There is no wind in this world because the god symbolizing wind sits in the darkness, motionless.

She blew her bangs hard, turned around and leaned against the balcony railing, tilted her head back and let her black hair fall down. If she just shook her head, it would look like a gust of wind coming towards her from a different angle.

"You're right. He is indeed struggling with it. But if, just in case, he comes and says he wants to take me away, I will agree without hesitation."

"A boy who only does the right thing is standing there, covered in tatters, about to do the wrong thing for a girl. I have no better answer than to pick him up and run away."

"Well, did my words surprise you?"

Amaterasu looked up, but unfortunately Quetzalcoatl's expression was very calm. He did not show any anger towards Amaterasu's [escape] behavior, but rather approval.

“No matter what form it takes, love is always beautiful.”

"Love!? Cough cough cough——" Amaterasu's voice was a little broken. She coughed violently a few times, raised her hands and used her sleeves to cover her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Ahem! But the possibility of this happening is very small. He always rushes towards a perfect ending. Even if he really comes back to take me away, he will definitely find a solution."

"So it's not love, he just found a better way."

"Really?" Quetzalcoatl fell silent. He didn't know much about Blaze, but that didn't stop him from using his own experience to analyze Blaze.

He was a young man with a beautiful, pure heart, and despite some shortcomings in etiquette, he fantasized about the young man as a kind of himself.

Love is beautiful, and reckless love is passionate, but if love is based on sacrifice, many sacrifices, then no matter how beautiful something is, it will eventually be tainted and become ugly.

Quetzalcoatl slowly tightened his grip on the armrests of the throne.

Stopping this and bringing about a flawless outcome might be the only thing he can do now that he is so ugly.

……

"It's obviously a turkey, why is it so strong!?"

When the four rain turkeys rushed forward, Blaze finally understood why the phrase "chicken flying and eggs broken" is sometimes used to describe an intense and chaotic scene.

And this group of four rain turkeys actually interspersed tactics in the chaos.

Spreading their wings to block their vision, their claws and beaks attacked at the same time, like arrows in the dark. If Blaze's [Blind Eyes] hadn't clearly locked onto their movements, Blaze would have suffered a great loss.

Although the humans of the Second Era have completely transformed into turkey monsters over countless years, certain human characteristics still flow in their blood.

For example, growth and learning abilities. As a turkey monster, the Four Rain Turkeys possess skills far beyond those of ordinary birds. They can even use some tricks of the Sun-Eating Giant Bear.

Of course, the Four Rain Turkeys only kept things related to fighting, and everything else, including human shame, disappeared.

When Blaze noticed that Four Rain Turkey turned around, pointed its butt at him, and was about to release the [Poisonous Dung] attack, he made up his mind.

He was sure that these monsters really had nothing to do with humans anymore.

Blazer swung his knife and cleanly put an end to the four turkeys that were planning to spray him.

The Four Rain Turkeys are not sun-eating monsters. After they fall down, there is no need to finish them off with the Obsidian Sacrificial Knife. Their bodies will be surrounded by raging flames, and the sparks flying out of the flames will rush towards the sun scales in the sky.

The sun scales in the sky were a little brighter, which was indeed a good sign.

Blazer picked up the feathers of the four-rain turkey on the ground. Now that he had the feathers, the next thing was the scales of the giant fish. He took out the mirror of the smoke mirror, slid it left and right, and found the location of the giant fish.

The giant fish is much more troublesome than the four-rain turkey. The fish lives in rivers, and the river water symbolizes the flow of life and has a similar meaning to the sun.

Now that the sun has gone and the world has fallen into silence, how many rivers are still flowing? The answer is not many.

Fortunately, the mirror of the smoke mirror told him that a wide river was not far away. But unfortunately, a flowing river is extremely important in this world and is a battleground for monsters. There are many powerful monsters in the location pointed by the mirror of the smoke mirror.

Of course, misfortune refers to those monsters who are not careful enough to provoke.

Chapter 1370 Sacrifice Candle

When faced with monsters that provoked and attacked him, Blaze chose to cut their necks neatly.
