The torch of the Thor's Pyramid Temple burned all night and gradually went out at dawn. This night, this bright fire light was deeply impressed into the eyes of tens of thousands of Totonac people, leaving fear and unforgettable engraved in the bone marrow!
However, the terrifying torch did not end there. Under the guidance of the chief's personal guards, the dark green figures marched solemnly in the firelight, appearing one after another in the center of the city-state, in the houses of the gods, chiefs, and priests. Then, shouts of fear and panic, as well as short and fierce fighting sounds, echoed throughout the city-state, and soon fell silent. Also disappearing together were the respected tribal leaders and all the tribal warriors who dared to resist.
"The thunder fell, and the flames swept through the mountains and forests. Beasts ran around, and the dead trees burned to ashes! However, in the terrible mountain fire, the tiny ants huddled together and hid deep underground. The ants on the outside were dead and scorched, The queen ant inside survived. She hugged her body tightly and waited for the fire to pass, waiting for the scorched forest full of food and free of natural enemies."
The Snake Mother Chief Miava, wearing a feather crown and the chief's short robe, sat cross-legged on the top of the pyramid, staring at the flames and destruction under her feet. Her feet and calves were bare, her short robe fluttered, outlining a breathtaking arc, and she had a holy smile on her face. The former snake priestess raised her head, her short hair flowing, feeling the warmth and blazing firelight in the night wind. She couldn't help but hug her body tightly, like a girl warming herself by the fire on a winter night.
The glimmer of morning light came from the eastern sky and reflected in the woman's slightly raised eyes, but they were brighter than ever before. The long night of fire finally passed, and the solemn chanting of the priest of the main god sounded outside the city gate in the west, gradually shaking the sky!
"Praise the Lord God Huitzilopochtli! He is supreme, omnipotent, and omnipotent!"
"Is this? The conversion ceremony of the Lord God? Mexica people are really impatient."
On the ancient pyramid, Miava turned her head to look, with a look of surprise on her face. In the wilderness to the west outside Jinwan City, a row of brand-new sacred fires have been lit under the rising sun. The Mexica war priests were wearing leather armor and carrying copper axes, with their hands raised in the air, praying to the rising sun. And a five or six meter high altar has been built overnight, enshrining the emblem and wood carvings of the main god!
At this moment, tens of thousands of Mexica warriors, wearing armor and holding soldiers, spread out and surrounded themselves in groups in the wilderness, forming a huge circular sacrificial field. Under the light of the morning light, those neat rows were filled with piety and solemnity that the Totonac people had never seen before!
Subsequently, noisy and restless sounds were accompanied by the escorting coalition prisoners, one after another, pouring into the circular center surrounded by Mexica warriors. Rows of spears erected, shining with the sharp golden light of bronze, also symbolize the coming conversion and judgment, rebirth or death!
"Praise the Lord God Huitzilopochtli! He will take away the hair and blood of converts, and also control the souls of believers! Those who believe in God will receive forgiveness and salvation, and will ascend to the beautiful kingdom of God! Unbelievers will receive divine punishment and punishment , Falling forever into the icy black abyss!."
"Please, come! Supreme God! My god Huitzilopochtli!"
The priests of the main god chanted loudly and called the name of the god feverishly. The deacons did not hesitate to throw bags of expensive spices and rosin into the burning holy fire!
Soon, a faint divine smoke rose in the wilderness outside the city. The golden flames and gray smoke, changing and expanding forms, fell in the eyes of the Totonak warriors, like volcanic demons devouring the earth. Then, these demons from the volcano breathed in the volcanic breath of sulfur, and suddenly smeared with blue light in the horrified eyes of the Totonak people!
"God has arrived! He descended from the morning light, descended in the blue flames, and looked at us majestically!"
Under the awe and fear of tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, Shulot, wearing a stone crown and complicated black divine robes, ascended to the high altar.
This large-scale conversion ceremony will convert more than 20,000 captives from the Eastern Tribe Alliance and more than 40,000 tribal people from various Jinwan tribes. This grand conversion will include prayers to gods, sacrifices, judgments, blood oaths, conversions, etc. It will last for several days and will determine the life and death of 70,000 people. It must be presided over by him personally!
And as he appeared on the stage, the fanatical shouts of the kingdom's warriors were like thunder exploding on the ground, making all the noisy waves instantly drowned out.
"Praise the Lord God! Praise His Highness!! Praise Him! Your Divine Revealed Highness! The King of the Lake!!"
Amid the shocking shouts, Shulot looked indifferent, raised his head, and looked to the east. His solemn gaze only paused for a moment on the towering pyramid in the city, and then looked at the rising sun rising over the sea and sky.
"God has arrived! He transformed into a god-man, dropped the divine spear in his hand, and shot out bolts of lightning!"
Following Shulot's announcement, twenty bronze cannons fired into the sky with thunderous explosions! And amidst the terrifying thunder, the 70,000 terrified Totonac prisoners finally prostrate themselves on the ground, bowing their heads in surrender to the unpredictable Mexica god!
"Thunder exploded, and everyone was prostrate. This is the powerful Temple of Death."
The copper beast roared with thunder, demonstrating a power that the Totonak people could not resist. On the feathered serpent pyramid, the former snake priestess sighed faintly. She looked into the distance and couldn't see the king's expression clearly, but she could see the smoking and roaring golden copper beast, the orderly army of devout guards, and the vast and crawling ants, as if the real gods were coming.
"The copper beast that summons thunder, the mighty king of the invincible legion, the supreme power! Ah!"
Miava twisted her legs and stared greedily for a moment. A faint blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a moment of intoxication, the former snake priestess took a deep breath and suppressed all her desires. She lowered her head, bowed her body, and sincerely saluted the king who held power from a distance, without caring whether anyone could see it.
Afterwards, Chief Snake Mother looked solemn, adjusted the feather crown on her head, stood up silently, and walked towards the bottom of the pyramid. After the blood oath of more than 20,000 coalition troops was converted, it was a great conversion for the Jinwan tribe! This is the moment that truly determines life and death. Even if there is still half a day and a day, she must prepare early, and she will not dare to sit high on the pyramid and look down at the real king.
The warm wind of spring blows through the tall pyramid, bringing with it the blood that has not yet dispersed. Miava sniffed the smell of blood, wore a feather crown, walked very slowly with small steps. And behind her, a clear declaration, relayed by hundreds of priests of the Lord God, echoed between the sea and the sky like rising waves, and was forever engraved in her heart!
"God has arrived! He leads the souls of believers to the red kingdom! He said that under the red sky, there will be a red dawn!"
Shulot's eyes were deep and with a hint of murderous intent, he stared at the 70,000 kneeling Totonak people. He knew that the next announcement would be annotated with blood. But to unify the world and integrate nationalities and beliefs, what does such blood and sacrifice count?
The young king had no expression on his face, raised the magic staff in his hand, and looked at all living beings indifferently for a while. Then, amid the silent trembling of tens of thousands of people, he calmly shouted the bloody opening.
"As far as the gods can see, the sky and the earth are blood red!"
"He said that those who surrender to the Lord God will live! Those who do not want to surrender will die!"
"The great holy conversion begins here!"
