Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

Chapter 616: Eastern Expedition Grand Sacrifice! The Divine King sits high, the blood-colored poetry!



The sea breeze blows across a thousand miles, transforming from the heat of the seaside back into the slight chill of the highland, reaching the Lake Capital City in the Mexica Valley. Lake Texcoco glistens with brilliant waves, reflecting the white stone dyke of Tenochtitlan, like the projection of the Divine Kingdom on earth!

Divine Smoke swirls, bringing the fresh scent of pine resin. In the Divine Kingdom, there are envoys of the gods, communicating between heaven and humanity. Soon, the cries of hundreds of city priests soar into the sky, echoing praise across the lake and sky.

"...Praise the Chief Divine! He is supreme and almighty! He bestows sunlight and rain, grants harvest and food, gives victory and glory, provides land and future! Praise him! The Chief Divine loves us, protects the mighty alliance, and we repay with devotion, with sacrifices and blood!"

"Praise the Chief Divine! Repay with devotion, repay with sacrifices and blood!"

Tens of thousands of city citizens prostrate themselves on the ground, fervently praying to the sun, celebrating an unprecedented great sacrificial feast! The boiling wave of sound shakes the four directions, vibrates the lake surface, and even disperses the clouds in the sky, causing ripples on the water!

"The sun rises high, and the Chief Divine Huitzilopochtli ascends to supremacy! The supreme Chief Divine protects the alliance, the eastward Divine War has once again achieved perfect victory! The Chief Divine has devoured the Cloud Serpent of the mountain and devoured the God of the Hunt! He holds the javelin, carries the bow and arrow, holds the authority of war, conquering all directions, invincible!"

"Praise the Chief Divine! Conquering all directions, invincible!"

The towering Great Temple reflects in the water, so clear and magnificent. The twelve Elder Priests stand atop the pyramid, holding the black obsidian stone long dagger for sacrifice. In front of the Main God Temple, behind the elders, a more than one meter high Divine Platform has been newly erected, holding a golden Throne of the Gods.

At this moment, in the shining golden light, King Aweit sits high upon the throne, dressed in splendid royal attire, holding the divine staff with yellow gemstones. He sits above everyone, overlooking the tens of thousands of ant-like city citizens, overlooking the tens of thousands of Royal Warriors, overlooking the hundreds of lake region nobility, and also the twelve Elder Priests!

"The great King Aweit is the incarnation of the Sun God, leading the divine citizens! He has conquered our enemies, conquered the Telascallan of the East! He has captured the divine descendants of the Cloud Serpent and delivered them to the altar of the temple!"

High Priest Uguel wears the Divine Crown, dons ceremonial dress, raises both arms high, shouting under the pyramid of the Great Temple. The twelve Elder Priests, four hundred various priests, also shout together, guiding twenty thousand citizens of the lake!

"The great king is brave and adept at war, having twice achieved victory in the Divine War, extinguishing two factions of the world, and is undoubtedly the Divine King! Let us pray for the Divine King of the alliance, praying for him to lead us forever!"

Then, High Priest Uguel turns around, under the eyes of tens of thousands, suddenly kneeling towards the king on the throne.

"Praise the Chief Divine, praise the Divine King! Praise you, my supreme king, may you sit high on the throne, unifying the world!"

"Praise the Chief Divine, praise the Divine King! Sit high on the throne, unify the world!"

In an instant, the frenzy of cheers rises from beneath the pyramid, all converging into the sky! Even the flying birds are dizzy from the shouting, shaking as they escape into the distant sky. The cheers are so boiling, yet so deeply imprinted upon the hearts, like tens of thousands of worker bees vibrantly buzzing under the command of the queen bee!

"Ha ha! Sacred as I am, sitting above all living beings, I shall certainly unify the world!"

Seeing the kneeling High Priest Uguel, seeing the subjugated twelve Elder Priests, Aweit is extremely pleased, laughing aloud. He leads tens of thousands of the Royal Army, carrying the momentum of great victory, hurriedly returning to the capital city, primarily to fully suppress the High Priesthood, becoming the sole supreme of the alliance!

The immortal elder has fallen, Morning Star's High Priest Xutel has gone to the Divine Kingdom. Now, within the High Priesthood, only the weak and mediocre High Priest Uguel remains. Under the king's overwhelming pressure, the draw and divide, plus the guarantee and promise of status, finally leads to today's ceremony! From this day forward, both divine authority and royal authority are under the Divine King alone!

Thinking of this, Aweit trembles all over, like being electrified, feeling the pleasure brought by power. He abruptly stands up, raises the divine staff in his hand high, and proudly declares to tens of thousands.

"The Sun God incarnates within me, I am the entire alliance! The Chief Divine's will is my will, and also your will!...At this moment, the sun arrives at the zenith, the Chief Divine is watching us! He has long impatiently awaited for the soul to ascend into the sky, for the freshness to burn in fire, for vitality to flow into the earth, and more awaits to personally bless us!...Come! Sing joyful celebrations, pray to the sun, the sacred great sacrifice, begins now!"

Upon hearing the king's declaration, High Priest Uguel freezes for a moment. He quickly reacts, raises the divine staff high, and announces as well.

"...Praise the Chief Divine, praise the Divine King! The great sacrifice, begins!"

Behind High Priest Uguel, the expressions of the Elder Priests change. Elder Priest Tonaltiliu of the Sun God, Elder Priest Azar of the War God, Elder Priest Acap of the Chief Divine, the three Deputy High Priests exchange glances, eyes flashing. Moments later, Elder Priest Acap of the Chief Divine is the first to raise his divine staff, followed by Elder Priest Tonaltiliu of the Sun God, lastly Elder Priest Azar of the War God. Then, the entire High Priesthood kneels to the king on the highest throne.

"Praise the Chief Divine, praise the Divine King! Victory in the Divine War, sacrifice the divine descendants of Tlaxcala!"
