Pawn Crossing the River

As Kukulkan approaches death, his priesthood continues to manifest. The first one to appear is the priesthood of death. According to the agreement, it fell into the hands of Apuch, the god of death. This will not make him stronger, but it will make him more powerful. His way is wider. People from similar Taoist sects who have learned one more Dacheng method will not see significant gains in the short term, but in the long run, it will help them reach a higher level.

Then came the storm priesthood belonging to Quetzalcoatl, and this time it fell into the hands of the rain god Chayak. Wind and rain always go hand in hand. For Chayak, this is also a very suitable priesthood, which will help him regain his strength.

Finally, there is the most powerful sun priesthood. This priesthood not only includes the priesthood of Itsumna, but also the priesthood of Misir Sun God. It was the sun that pushed Kukulkan to the realm of quasi-one-kalpa immortal. .

Logically speaking, this priesthood should belong to Ixichel.

But Chakchel, who had never appeared before, finally appeared at this moment.

The old woman with tiger claws said, "Ixichel, according to the agreement between you and me, I will hand over the 'Chakchel Lock Wheel' to you, and you will hand over Kukulkan's Sun Priesthood to me."

It is difficult to renege on a contract between gods. Once a formal contract is made, it has equal effect on both parties. Back then, Zhang Zu relied on a contract to force Xu Zu to leave the world early when the situation was good. Qiniang was also unable to tell the truth to Qi Xuansu because of the contract.

Chakchel dared to hand over the lock wheel to Ixichel, so naturally he had already made a contract in advance.

Ixichel did not object, "As stipulated in the contract, the Sun Priesthood is yours."

Chakchel grabbed the priesthood that looked like a shrinking sun and said, "Ixchel, do you also want to be the God King?"

Ixichel said calmly, "Is there anyone more qualified than me? Is it you?"

Ixichel also has a contract with the God of Death and Rain. After they get the reward, they will naturally help Ixichel ascend to the position of God King. In a three-on-one situation, even if Chakchel gets it The most powerful sun priest is by no means a match for Ixichel.

"Of course not me." Chakchel said, "Itsumna once predicted that a great disaster will come, and the moon will cover the sun. Using the scarlet fire as a guide, Kukulkan will be sacrificed, and then the sun will come again. ”

"The great catastrophe was the invasion of the Holy Order, which resulted in the death of Itsumna."

"Ixichel, you are just the moon blocking the sun, not the real king."

Hearing this, Qi Xuansu, who shared his senses with Wu Niang, already understood the conspiracy behind the entire Tide of Shadows.

Ixichel and Chakchel have indeed been divided into two. They have become two completely different independent individuals, and they pursue completely opposite things.

In other words, the original Ixichel was a person with a dual personality. He was immersed in endless internal friction all day long. Finally, with the help of the Holy Court, he became two people.

We are freed from each other, and there is no need to forcefully pretend to be the same person.

These two personalities have been at odds for many years when they were in the same body. After being freed, they naturally became enemies. This was not an act.

What Ixichel seeks is to become a god-king.

Chakchel objected to Ixichel becoming the God-King, and she denied that she would become the God-King. According to the sentence "it is just the moon covering the sun", the plot of the old woman with tiger claws is already very clear.

Connected with the prediction of the "Guizang Lamp", the solar eclipse actually has two meanings. The first meaning is that the moon blocks the sun, that is, the moon girl Ixichel judged the sun god Kukulkan. The second meaning is that The fall of the sun god.

However, the second meaning also hides another meaning, that is, a total of two sun gods fell, including Kukulkan and Itsumna.

Chakchel said that using the scarlet fire as a guide, sacrifice Kukulkan, and then the sun would come down again.

This return of the sun means the resurrection of the sun after the solar eclipse.

This is not a random guess by Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu remembers very clearly that in the picture foreshadowed by the "Gui Zang Lantern", the sun finally dispersed the shadows, shined brightly again, and the world returned to the light again. Compared with the previous sun, the sun after the solar eclipse is a little different after "Nirvana and rebirth". It is brighter and clearer, and it feels like it has been washed away.

Now that I think about it, doesn’t the feeling of being washed away symbolize the dissipation of karma?

The hint of "Gui Zang Lamp" is already obvious.

Kukulkan will never be sacrificed, and Kukulkan will come again.

This doesn't make sense.

It can only resurrect another sun.

As the wife of Itsumna, what Chakchel seeks is to resurrect her husband Itsumna and return to the past divine order.

Then some of Chakchel's actions can be reasonably explained.

The reason why Chakchel supports Kukulkan to become the sun god is not because of external pressure, but because he wants Kukulkan to be a sacrifice, so Kukulkan must become the sun god. This can correspond to the prophecy of sacrificing Kukulkan to the sun.

Poor Kukulkan thought he was getting a big deal, but in fact he was being manipulated by Chakchel.

Ixichel opposed Kukulkan becoming the sun god. Whether Ixichel knew it or not, she did not want Itesumna to return.

Chakchel gave the lock wheel to Ishchel in order to successfully complete the sacrifice.

Chakchel asked Ixichel for the priesthood of the sun in order to bring the sun back, which is indispensable.

thing.

There is another important point here.

That's why Kukulkan, a quasi-one-time immortal, doesn't have much power to fight back? The strength displayed simply cannot match the realm of a quasi-evil immortal. You must know that the national master, a quasi-one-time immortal, can slay a dragon with ease. If the national master were here, then Ixichel and others may not be able to succeed.

But Kukulkan was almost at the mercy of others.

Everyone knew that something was wrong with Kukulkan, but what problem could make the mighty Immortal Quasi-One Calamity fall into such a weak state?

This is also not difficult to guess.

A huge empire usually does not die from foreign enemies, but from internal troubles.

The same is true for a quasi-one-kalpa immortal like Kukulkan. Although he died at the hands of the foreign enemy Ixichel, what fundamentally killed him was various internal troubles, such as the karma accumulated through blood sacrifices, and that The "problem" that prevents him from using his full strength.

Under the influence of Donghua Zhenren, Qi Xuansu has been reading "Xuansheng Xiang'er Commentary" written by the great master of the Five Dynasties. Since it is the annotation of Xuansheng by the great master of the Five Dynasties, he must first understand Xuansheng.

Xuansheng once practiced the unmodified "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" in his early years, and gave birth to an inner demon, another self, which caused a lot of trouble for Xuansheng.

The original Ixichel was also deeply troubled by two personalities.

The only thing that could render Kukulkan powerless would be another Kukulkan.

Kukulkan inherited Itesumna's priesthood, throne, palace, kingdom, and even his wife.

I will take care of your wife, so don’t worry about her.

Kukulkan is almost another Itsumna.

It is known that the gods possess a triple death.

Itsumner was not completely dead.

Of course, that alone is far from enough. Kukulkan was not a fool. He must have thought that Itsumna would not be resurrected or that he could control the situation, so he inherited everything from Itsumna without any scruples.

What variables caused the development of things to escape Kukulkan's control?

Qi Xuansu immediately thought of a place, the Pyramid of Paititi.

Itsumner spent a lot of effort, using both soft and hard tactics, and finally captured this place.

As a result, It Sumner died.

At first, Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang thought that Itsumna did not have time to use the pyramid of Paititi. But now it seems that Itsumna left so many prophecies and even predicted his own death. In this case, Itsumna would not leave the Paititi Pyramid unused.

Perhaps the function of the Pyramid of Paititi is not ascension but resurrection, and Itsumna had already used the pyramid in advance.

There is a legend about the Pyramid of Paititi that after the sacrifice is successful, the sun will be destroyed and the world will be plunged into darkness.

This is the earliest mention of "sacrifice".

If "the sun will be destroyed" is understood to mean that something went wrong with Kukulkan, then the answer is readily apparent. The "sacrifice" here does not refer to sacrificing Kukulkan, but to the Tide of Shadows.

As the Queen of Gods, Chakchel secretly launched the Tide of Shadows behind Kukulkan's back, leaving a sign of the solar eclipse and grabbing a large amount of divine power. In essence, he was offering sacrifices to the pyramid of Paititi.

Under the influence of the Paititi Pyramid, Itsumna, who had already used the pyramid, awakened in Kukulkan's body and restrained Kukulkan at every turn. As the Tide of Shadows gained more and more power, Itsumna became more and more awakened.

It corresponds to the phrase "The sky is about to wake up."

The "heaven" here does not refer to the way of heaven, but to "itsumna, the god of heaven".

As a result, Kukulkan fell into endless internal strife, becoming increasingly silent and unable to care about what was happening in the outside world. Even the fall of the royal family was just a symbolic incarnation.

With Itsumna almost fully awakening, Kukulkan could only resist Itsumna with all his strength.

This also gave Ixichel and Chakchel more space to play. Ixichel accelerated the pace of seizing power and joined forces vertically and horizontally. Although he was disturbed by Qi Xuansu, it didn't matter. Chakchel pretended to compromise with Ixichel to prepare for the final resurrection.

Now, it's time to show up.

Chakchel looked at Ixichel, "Ixichel, return to your position and welcome the return of the God King."

Ixichel smiled and said, "In the past, there was only one Ixichel and only one God Queen. Now Ixichel has become two people. If Itsumna returns, then who will be the God Queen?" "

Chakchere didn't answer, it was a question that didn't need an answer.

Ixichel added, "The God-King's brain is outdated and has no longer adapted to the times. He can still sleep peacefully and leave a good reputation for dying bravely. Why should he insist on living a second life?"

Chakchere responded with concrete actions.

The already embodied Sun Priest turned into a sun, flew out of the temple, flew out of the Kingdom of God, and flew to the cave sky of Paititi, which was connected to the Kingdom of God.

It is worth mentioning that letting Kukulkan connect the Kingdom of God with the cave was also Chakchel's suggestion. In name, of course, it was to share the karma, but in essence it was for the resurrection of Itsumna.

Now it's finally put to use.

Qi Xuansu, who had already left the Kingdom of God, saw such a scene. In the sky above Paititi Cave, a glorious pyramid slowly emerged and gradually solidified, just opposite the location of the Kingdom of God, welcoming the arrival of the sun.
