Chapter 254 [253] The Final Judgment of the Aztecs

Of course, the scene presented by the divine revelation is different from the scene the seven people are in at this time.

After all, it was impossible for Zhou Li'an to really predict the scene where the seven of them would meet Izko Ater after they entered the city.

But it doesn't matter whether it is completely consistent.

Because when this period of history is known to later generations, the specific details are no longer available.

The world will only know that the true God has given guidance to His believers, and His believers have obeyed His way and gained salvation.

When Qi Boche's voice fell, the people in front of him suddenly fell into a daze.

"balanced?"

"The prophecy and guidance of the true god?"

"Aren't they the Aztecs?"

Someone exclaimed: "They must be crazy! Because of the famine, they want to deceive us in the name of the true God..."

Izkoater was also stunned, but he quickly regained his senses and walked quickly.

Qiboche handed over the "divine revelation" under the obstruction of the guards, "This is the prophecy of the true god, and it is the guidance of this divine revelation. Let the seven of us come to you."

Izkoatl looked down, his face changed again.

In "Shen Qi", it is the city in the lake that he is familiar with, and his figure stands in the center of the picture.

Beside him, the appearance of a group surrounded by cronies is also clearly revealed.

Look up again.

The appearance of the seven people in front of them was exactly the same as that shown by the divine revelation.

His first reaction was exactly the same as Qiboche's back then, "Our souls are sealed on it?"

Qi Boche said: "No, this is a divine revelation, and it is what will happen as predicted by Balance."

"How do you prove your identities?" Izko Ater asked.

Qi Boche looked at the divine object in his hand seriously, and the meaning he wanted to express was already clear.

If the holy things bestowed by the true God cannot be proved, what else can be proved?
Izkoater was taken aback for a moment, knowing that his question was too ridiculous.

He turned back abruptly and told his subordinates: "Go back to Miyagi, and don't leak any news here."

"You should know that the current stability is hard-won, and there must be no more waves."

A group of cronies also saw the picture of the "divine revelation" sacred object, knowing that the identities of the seven people are not trivial, and even more knowing what changes will be brought about in the city if the balance brings the will, they immediately reprimanded the left and right, warning everyone.

Izkoater didn't rush to ask, but brought Qiboche and others to the palace of the royal family.

Outside the palace city, they finally saw the strict defense.

But it was obvious that these people did not bring too many guards, which did not meet the royal family's standards.

Before Qiboche could send a message, Izkoater said, "You should have seen that there is no order in the city when you enter the city."

"We can only do our best to make those soldiers who are still loyal to the royal family guard the palace, and also bring their relatives and family members into the palace garden to live in, so as to protect the majesty of the royal family from being violated."

Hearing this, Mengdaya, who is also a member of the royal family, couldn't help gasping: "That is to say, there are people in the city who are in turmoil? Want to disobey the monarch?"

Izkoater nodded: "Yes, the generals were the first to riot and occupied all the food in the city, and the livelihood of the city was all decided by them!"

"But the civilians didn't receive much food, so a year ago, some civilians attacked the military camp at night and killed countless soldiers."

"Nowadays, the food share is determined by the civilians themselves, and they form a new guard!"

Mengdaya asked again: "What about the royal family?"

Izko Ater said: "You should enter the city through the sluice channel behind the city, right?"

"Correct."

"Every once in a while, we will trade with the garrison outside the city, and exchange goods for food! Barely survive."

"Why don't you ask for help?"

Izkoater suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze hovering over Mondaya.

This scene made everyone's hearts tense.

Mondaya remembered the appearance of Izkoatel, and vice versa.

I'm afraid that he will expose Mengdaya's identity now and the news will leak out.

However, Izkoatl just smiled at her, and asked back: "Who do you ask for help? The city-states regard us as the source of evil, and wish to use us as sacrifices for redemption. How can they care about us?" life or death?"

At this point, it fell into dead silence.

Itzkoater started walking again and let everyone walk in the palace.

They saw that the original palace garden was reclaimed as farmland, and vegetables, melons and fruits were planted.

Outside the palace, which was originally guarded by ceremonies, clothes were dried to dry, which was incompatible with the calm and luxurious pillars of the main hall.

It only makes everyone have a strong sense of contrast and gap.

Came to a garden.

Izkoater turned around and said to the crowd: "You wait outside, and I will ask the messengers."

A group of people suddenly became anxious.

They also want to know the future of the Aztecs if there is a decree from the gods.

Izkoatl looked at Qiboche again: "Then let the oracle make the decision. If the will can be known to everyone, I will naturally follow the oracle."

Qi Boche was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandered over several people.

He clearly felt that the dignity and inferiority of these people were also on the verge of collapse.

Otherwise, why should Izkoatar seek their opinions?
not to mention……

Divine decree?

What decree?
Only then did Qiboche realize an important problem.

They had no choice but to give guidance, but there was no oracle to give them, but if they couldn't say one, two, three at this time, these people who had just seen hope would inevitably have emotional riots.

"Everyone, since we have arrived, things will turn around."

"After all, it is the true God who guides us to meet you."

Qi Boche tactfully forwarded the voice, and everyone sighed and stopped following.

The seven of them stepped into the courtyard with Itzkoatel, and then entered the house.

Wait until the door is closed.

Izkoater took a long breath and turned to Mengdaya: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Mengdaya was a little panicked, and looked at Qiboche as if asking for help.

Qi Boche said: "He has seen your identity, so there is no need to hide it."

Only then did Mengdaya explain: "I have longed for balance, so I escaped from the capital, and was hunted down by my father. I was taken care of by Mr. Qiboche all the way, so I fled here."

"My father and the grandfather of the country would never have thought that I would escape to the city in the lake."

"And this is also the guidance of our Lord True God."

Itzkoatl didn't feel too surprised.

Although the princess of the royal family has a special status, he has seen too many twists and turns in the past two years, so it is not surprising.

Only then did Qiboche add: "The identity of Her Highness the Princess must not be revealed, otherwise people from Tepanix Kingdom will take the Princess away."

Itzkoatl nodded slightly.

But what he cares about is not the princess, but... If the true god guides these people to come, does that prove that the true god has forgiven the Aztecs?

"My lord, please also grant the will of the true God."

He bowed and begged with a humble gesture.

Qiboche had expected this scene long ago, but the rest of the people had only now suddenly woke up...

The true God did not issue a will at all.

Just when they were stunned, Qi Boche had already spoken: "Before you accept the will, I have to ask you, have you already turned your heart to balance and surrendered to our lord?"

Izcoatel nodded without any hesitation: "Since the divine punishment came to the city in the lake, the Aztecs have built statues of our Lord! They praise, repent, and beg for salvation every day."

"Whether it is the royal family and nobles in the palace city, or the civilians in the outer city's self-contained system, they dare not rebel against the balance. They can only offer their sincere faith to him."

"Maybe my words are not enough to be believed."

"But you only need to walk around the city to see the truth."

"Even if the people in the outer city are in distress, they dare not forget the wrath of the true God every day, and worship the true God every day; just because they know that all these things come from the sins we committed. disaster!"

"It's also like my royal family, the order collapsed, and the authority is no longer; you should have seen the scene in the palace, everyone is only working hard to survive..."

"Actually, I just met some envoys on the road because I was going to the outer city to negotiate with their principals about the 'connection'."

"If this continues, the palace's wealth will always be drained by the garrison outside the city, and if the civilians cannot be managed in an orderly manner, sooner or later the next turmoil will arise."

"Only by uniting again can the Aztecs survive. When the judgment comes, whether it is life or death, there will be a result."

"Instead of being annihilated in my own hands before the result comes."

"It is also the experience of the past two years that made me understand that the power and wealth in this world are nothing!"

"The only expectation of a person in this world is to live! To share joy with family members and relatives, instead of seeing them die in despair from illness and hunger one by one."

"If the true God can cast a benevolent gaze, we will dedicate everything we have to beg His forgiveness and redemption, and let us step into His kingdom of joy."

"This is not my decision alone. As long as the adults are willing, we can go to the outer city now and meet the people of the outer city! Listen to their voices."

After some words fell.

There was no sound in the hall.

Everyone in Qiboche was lost in thought.

Mengdaya had seen the Tepanix royal family's attitude towards balance. The royal family and nobles only wanted to maintain their own authority, and they did not hesitate to disobey the true God.

And what about civilians?

Blinded by their lords, they fall into falsehood, and hope only to distance themselves from the true God.

But only when disasters really come, people will really wake up.

Just like the Aztecs at the moment.

Survival became their only will.

Then just imagine, when the prophecy of disaster comes true in a few decades, the city-states will also be reduced to the same result as the city in the lake.

Howling under the evil butcher's knife, invaded by filth.But he will no longer be able to receive the attention and salvation of the true God.

It will be too late to repent at that moment.

The present of the Aztecs is the future of the valley!

in silence.

Pairs of eyes fell on Ziboche.

They originally thought that Qiboche would fall into panic, because the true god did not issue a will.

But never thought.

Ziboche looked very calm, and even more frankly confided——

"Izkoatl, I must tell you the truth;"

"The army of judgment will not go south."

"What?" Izko Arter suddenly exclaimed, "Will not go south? Then the trial..."

"Yes." Qi Boche said abruptly, "Judgment and divine punishment will not come!"

Itzkoatel was completely confused.

Because of the prophecy of the trial, the Aztecs were spurned and banned by the city-state alliance.

But in the end, neither judgment nor divine punishment will come?
When his thoughts were disturbed, Qiboche said again: "In other words, it won't be long before the army of judgment leaves Tadong City, and the ban will be lifted when you wait. As for whether the city-states will take advantage of your weakness , destroy and annex the Aztecs, I don’t know.”

"And before that, you have another choice, which can also be used to prove..."

"Is what you said just now true or false?"

"My lord has a word, whoever moves toward equilibrium, the equilibrium will also toward that person."

"Anyone who betrays the balance will also be betrayed by the balance!"

"If the Aztecs are willing, they can submit to Balance and become His people. Then they will go to Tower Cave City and return to the Kingdom of God with the army of judgment!"

"If you don't want to, you can wait until all the dust settles, and become the 'People Abandoned by God' together with everyone in this valley."

Qiboche was indeed flustered because he did not bring the "divine decree".

But after listening to Izko Atel's words, he immediately woke up...

The will of the gods came down in the dark.

As a fire passer, he will call the Aztecs to confirm their piety.

Is surrender, or betrayal.

All in their own choice.

When the words fall.

The gazes of everyone shifted from Qiboche to Izkoatl.

The valley will return to its previous appearance, and the city in the lake will be unsealed.

Then, if they consecrate their faith because of the current disaster in the city, they don't have to do so.

"I, I..." Izkoatel trembled.

But Qi Boche patted him on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to answer in a hurry, you have to ask your heart."

However, Izkoatl shook his head violently: "No, my heart of faith is true, and I am willing to go to Him, there is absolutely no falsehood."

"However, my personal will cannot represent everyone in the city! But I believe that most of the people have the same will as me!"

"If it's time to go back, I would like to take my relatives and go to the kingdom of God with you."

From the mouth of the garrison outside the city, they knew the news that the tower hole city was broken and the divine punishment came.

Obviously the army of judgment can sweep across the valley, but they stop at the tower hole.

Then do we still need to question the majesty of the true God?

And only those who have truly experienced this calamity and suffering can empathize with the prophecies of future disasters.

The Aztecs were on the brink of genocide. Even if they survived this time, would the outcome be the same when disaster struck decades later?
Since the true God has given merciful judgments and is willing to accept sinners who walk towards Him, why is there any hesitation?
There was sincerity in his eyes, "My lord, please tell me what I'm going to do!"

Ziboche said—

"wait!"

"Wait?" Everyone looked at each other, unable to understand.

The people in Polipoma knew that there was no decree, but Qiboche now appeared to be strategizing.

At this moment, another voice uttered, giving Izkoatel an answer——

"Yes, wait."

Everyone looked sideways at Kukmo.

The young man and Qi Boche met each other's eyes, reached a tacit understanding, and said, "Since my lord wants me to come here, he must have a deep meaning! If there is no next step to guide, then just wait quietly!"

"At the same time, we must spread this matter in the city, so that the Aztecs in Lake City will make the same final choice as Izcoatel..."

"Faith, surrender."

"Still abandoning and alienating!!!"

"This is also the... final judgment of the Aztecs!"
