The Aztecs' obsession with mythological beliefs was very extreme.
They practice human sacrifice as the highest standard of sacrificial activities. From a civilized perspective, their sacrificial behavior belongs to barbarians.
But the Aztecs were originally barbarians, no different from the natives of other parts of North America.
They are outsiders to the Valley of Mexico.
They first lived deep in the Cordillera Mountains and belonged to primitive tribes. When their ancestors arrived in the Valley of Mexico, they began to gradually integrate into the civilization system of this "city-state".
The source of this civilization system is the continuation of the remaining Mayan civilization.
Therefore, the "Aztecs", who were just born from the mountains, were rejected by civilized people in their early days. There is a cause and effect——
There was a city-state leader who valued the Aztecs' fighting prowess and hoped to have a marriage alliance with them, marrying the city-state princess to the leader of the Aztecs.
When the Aztecs saw the noble princess, their first reaction was not to be moved by her beauty.
They thought...
If a noble princess from such a highly civilized city-state could be sacrificed to the gods, the gods would definitely bring more blessings to the Aztecs.
So, the princess was sacrificed alive by them.
Beauty?
Beauty will only affect their piety towards their gods!!
Of course, the Aztecs received retribution for this, being attacked by a coalition and unable to recover.
Later, when I gradually gained the enlightenment of civilization, I realized that I should keep a low profile, first absorb the advantages of the other party's civilization to strengthen myself, and then wait for the opportunity to dominate one party.
For this reason, after the Aztecs gradually grew stronger, they also existed as a vassal of Azcapozalco City. They were good at forming alliances and constantly annexing other countries.
Until it truly has strong strength.
Human sacrifice!!
Crazy human sacrifice!!
Therefore, the "Glory and Crown War" was launched.
Because they firmly believed that human sacrifice could calm the anger of the gods and speed up the famine; therefore, they forced all countries to sign treaties...
Wars were launched regularly, just to fight each other, and the victor obtained slaves, which were turned into fresh human sacrifices and held grand sacrificial ceremonies.
It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Anyway, I hit you at home, so there's no way you won't fight back.
In fact, such war consumption physically curbs population growth and indeed saves survival materials.
at this time.
The black shadow in the sky coincides with the mythological beliefs of the Aztecs.
They firmly believed that this was the coming of gods.
"Bring all the slaves in the city and sacrifice them with endless blood to the Lord God Huitzilopochtli!"
News spread in the palace, and soon the guards opened the cages and gathered the slave sacrifices in the sacrificial square in the center of the city. The number of people exceeded a thousand!!
The people in the city also began to chase the "Lord God" in the sky on the streets and cheered and praised.
And on the plane.
Snow Girl, Niu Shi and others were so shocked by the architecture of this big city that they even forgot the purpose of this trip to punish and sentence them.
They had made some guesses and comparisons in their minds when they came.
There are nearly 100,000 residents in each of the balanced cities, which is already more than twice that of Nahohokam City.
Everyone has a place to live, has fields to cultivate, and builds public canteens, warehouses, and colleges. In their minds, this is the most prosperous country in the world.
But at this time, their sense of superiority suffered a critical blow!!
In the center of the city are several 30-meter-high pyramid altar buildings. The buildings are about 10 stories high and subvert the perception.
Although they also have construction knowledge in their practice rules, this is still in the theoretical learning stage and has not been put into practice.
And when such a magnificent building actually appeared in front of our eyes, the shock was unspeakable.
In the central square under the pyramid, there is a huge stone statue with a diameter of 4 or 5 meters square. It cannot be seen clearly from a high altitude, but you can also vaguely appreciate the existence of the so-called "artistic sense".
Outside the center, there are hundreds of buildings in the palace gardens.
The polished stone trough brings in fresh water from the lake outside the city and surrounds the city... This is far more shocking than the Hohokam people's water conservancy system.
On the edge of the city, endless flood control dams block the lake water, making the city worry-free.
The entire city covers an area of nearly 10 square kilometers and has more than 50,000 houses built.
And Zhou Li'an knew that this was not yet the peak period of the capital of the Aztec Empire, and this big city would be expanded in the future.
Even he was quite shocked.
It's like going to Egypt to visit the pyramids, seeing the yellow sand filling the air and making the history mottled with vicissitudes, but you can't help but feel the greatness and splendor of an era.
But now it feels like the Pharaoh is resurrected and really appears before his eyes.
This is why.
He didn't rush to do anything, just hovering over the big city.
When the Aztecs gathered in the city, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but call out: "My lord, they are gathering slaves..."
Zhou Weiguo held the camera in his hand and zoomed in to see the most vivid scene.
Niu Shihua also quickly came closer to watch the scene, "Are they going to sacrifice slaves?"
"You ignorant people!"
"Could it be that they still hope that the false gods they believe in can protect the crimes they commit?"
"My lord above, this is a blasphemy against balance! You should be sentenced to eternal annihilation!"
Zhou Li'an also frowned when he heard this.
La Shen comes out and breaks his head?
Were the Aztecs so wild?
Finally, the plane turned around and hovered over the central square.
And on the earth.
When the people saw that the main god Huitzilopochtli was staying, the boiling momentum became more intense.
A group of priests said to their monarch: "It's time. The Lord God is already watching us, waiting to receive the fresh and hot blood!"
"We shall ascend to the highest altar and offer our sacrifices to Him, Huitzilopochtli!"
Vizili Vitel took a deep breath and tried his best to control the wild beating in his heart. Under the guidance of the priest, he led the ceremonial group who hurriedly dressed in luxurious services and climbed to the highest pyramid.
Behind them, slaves lined up in a long line, climbing the stairs under the fanatical roar of the guards.
These slaves have long been at a loss...
They no longer cared about being killed as sacrifices, but were shocked that the Aztecs could actually summon the gods.
All eyes are fixed on the sacred thing high in the sky, which is empty and lifeless.
Countless people gathered in the big city.
Under the leadership of the priest, they began to call out in unison——
"Huitzilopochtli!"
"Huitzilopochtli!"
"Huitzilopoch..."
Repeatedly.
The shouts from hundreds of thousands of people were terrifying, easily overwhelming the roar of the plane's propellers, and even causing Li An and others on the plane to feel their hearts trembling from the sound waves below.
Niu Shi and others turned pale.
Since the arrival of our Lord, Balance, they felt pressure coming for the first time, and there was a faint fear in their hearts.
Is it possible that such a powerful country is really enveloped by a god?
Zhou Li'an, on the other hand, was amused.
Although the demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people were huge, they were like thousands of bees trying to attack a person holding a flamethrower...
How about playing?
Turn on autonomous driving hover.
Zhou Li'an stood up.
Cow shit, Xiaohua and Zhou Weiguo were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and worshiped. They felt guilty and blamed themselves for having fear.
Zhou Li'an can probably guess their psychological activities here.
After all, I have just embarked on the practice of scientific divine power laws...
They have no idea of the scientific power they are about to master!!
"Weiguo, start shooting!"
boom.
Zhou Li'an unlocked the hatch. The moment the hatch was opened, strong winds poured in, causing the balance of the fuselage to tilt.
And the shouts from below came even more violently.
Niu Shi and the others were trembling and a little at a loss.
But the snow girl has calmed down.
Although she had been shocked before, she had never been afraid, because she knew that the only true god in the world was my Lord, Balance...
She angrily scolded everyone: "You guys still haven't stood up!!"
"You are scared out of your wits just because of the cries of these ignorant people?"
"This big city is indeed prosperous and powerful..."
"What about the evil spirits on the other side of the ocean predicted by our Lord? If it is so powerful, will you abandon your faith and let others slaughter you?!"
"If this is what you call piety, don't say that our Lord is balanced, even I will sentence you to the most cruel punishment!"
"Those who are disobedient will only suffer eternal annihilation and will not be guided by the door to the afterlife!!"
In the midst of angry shouts.
The panicked mood of several people calmed down, but their shame became stronger.
They all shed tears unconsciously, "Please my Lord punish me!"
"We sinners are no longer qualified to serve at the knees of our Lord..."
Zhou Li'an looked calm.
Although I understand a few people in my heart, the reason why the only three civilizations in America are called civilizations is that they are different from the primitive tribes of North America.
When I first arrived in Dacheng, what I saw was beyond my understanding, and I had lost my normal thinking logic.
This is an ideological dimensionality reduction attack.
But Yuki-onna's angry rebuke is not wrong.
If the heart of faith is unstable, it must be judged by punishment——
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped."
"After returning to equilibrium, you and others need to atone for your sins in front of millions of people in the equilibrium, and be sentenced to claustrophobic confinement. When will you break through the high-level secrets of various laws, and when will you be released from claustrophobic confinement!"
When several people heard this, they were even more confused.
Imprisonment and punishment, but can you still practice the law?
I’m afraid this is not a sin, but a reward!!
But at this moment, the voice of our Lord True God came again, "The sentence is 2 years. If you fail to complete the 2 years, you will be sentenced to eternal annihilation! During the period of claustrophobic confinement, no one is allowed to visit except me and the witch!"
Gudu.
The three of them swallowed hard, their faces trembled, and they finally panicked.
They know the profound meaning of the law.
But in fact, the three of them had a very solid foundation. They did not take any holidays for two years and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to it. It was not that difficult to complete high school studies.
Furthermore, it’s not Zhou Li’an who decides the assessment standards?
At this moment, the snow girl frowned even deeper, saying in her heart that she didn't feel sorry for her brother at all, it was impossible.
However, she can only obey the will of our Lord absolutely.
Although the Snow Girl was not afraid of the Aztecs, she did feel pressure, but as she said...
If you retreat because your enemy is strong, how can you be a balanced people and enjoy the blessings and grace of our true God?
If her brother really didn't survive, she could only remember him in her heart.
11 years ago, cow shit was still young.
Even though he was enslaved by the Tushi tribe, he was protected by the elders and only spent a few days in a cell.
But when my Lord comes, I will always be immersed in blessings.
But the snow girl has experienced all of that.
The enemy was cruel and killed the shaman. The clan leader he killed had missing teeth, and their blood was stained on the face of the snow girl.
She still can't forget the moment when she praised her...
Outside the Tushi Valley, the glorious figure under the setting sun descended, destroying those cruel enemies with divine punishment.
Now, 11 years later, everything that Balance has gained has been hard-won.
If our lord is angered again because of his ungodly heart, the fate of millions of people in the world will completely turn into darkness.
The snow girl would never allow such a thing to happen.
For example, she once confided her feelings to Zhou Li'an...
Following and serving our Lord is not only the grace she has received, but also a heavy mission and responsibility.
She is responsible for the millions of people who have balanced beliefs, so even if her brother's bull shit offends the wrath of our Lord and True God, she cannot be forgiven.
So, besides being distressed, I am also angry.
Xue Nu took one last look at Niu Shi and others, then looked away, "Master, the punishment for their crimes will be strictly enforced by Xue Nu, and these hundreds of thousands of sinful people will never be forgiven..."
Zhou Li'an nodded slightly and looked at the high pyramid platform.
The three bullshit behind him were listening to the trial, and all they could do was kneel down and worship.
Zhou Weiguo watched the filming...
Then you can only do it yourself.
The system map here has been opened, [Eye of the Void] has been activated, and the recording function has been enabled.
The Aztecs inherited and absorbed the Mayan civilization and formed a magnificent city, all of which can be seen under his gaze.
After returning to equilibrium, these scenes will be played in every city in the equilibrium to make the people realize the vastness of this world.
Only by moderately accepting some blows can you grow more resiliently.
And more importantly...
Even a country with such a prosperous civilization, in the face of our lord, Balance, is nothing but ashes and annihilation in the midst of laughter and talk!!
Of course, it is not easy to completely annihilate it. This big city will belong to Balance in the future.
On the pyramid.
The obsidian dagger made by Vizili Vittel, inlaid with exquisite copper ornaments, pierced the slave's chest.
He skillfully found the position of the heart, took out the still-beating living sacrifice, and held it high——
"Patron Saint of the Aztecs, Huitzilopochtli!"
"Please listen to the call of Uvi Chilivitel!"
"I am willing to dedicate my freshest heart and hottest blood to build your sacred body..."
He stared at the sky, but his vision was blurred by the tears of excitement and he could not clearly see what was going on in the sky.
But Zhou Li'an used the [Eye of the Void] to see his every move and listen to his words.
"Great summoning spell, right?"
"Huitzilopochtelli, right?"
Whoosh!
Backhand, the rocket launcher appeared out of thin air.
The weapon is already loaded, so there is no need to worry about damage when placed in the system space...
The launcher fires.
Boom!!!
A flash of fire instantly appeared in the cabin, causing the snow girls behind them to feel a surge of high temperature on their faces, as if the down on their cheeks had been completely burned.
Not to mention the huge impact of the air wave, which made them sluggish.
Just when I was stunned for half a second...
boom!!!
The rocket accurately hit the pyramid temple!
A huge flame suddenly engulfed everything on the high platform of the temple, and smoke and dust overflowed from all sides...
This is not an explosive bomb, but an explosive bomb that mainly burns at high temperatures.
Limited damage to building structures.
However, the momentum created is incomparable to the former.
After the first shot, the temple building did not shake, but the body of the person inside was already wrapped in flames, letting out miserable howls.
At this moment, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people stopped abruptly and fell into a very brief pause.
But just then...
Boom, boom, boom!
The earth-shattering explosion and thick smoke and flames completely swept through the temple complex, and continued to fall on the open space outside the crowd, forming a continuous sea of fire, blocking their way.
And on the temple, the figure turned into a burning man and kept rolling down the stairs.
Others were rolling around in an attempt to catch the flames on their bodies.
Vizili Vittel was unlucky. He was already charred black, with charcoal burning out of his skin, and blood was oozing out from the cracks in the charcoal shell.
His eyes never leave the sky...
Full of doubts.
Until the moment before his life dried up, he was thinking, why? Why on earth is this?
Why was the patron saint of the Aztecs so angry?
And the hundreds of thousands of people gathered under the high platform were able to listen to the words of the gods——
"I, the only true God in the world, the Lord of Balance, will judge you for your sins!"
"You are condemned as heretics by me for serving and believing in false gods!"
"Today's punishment is just the beginning of the calamity you are waiting for. Two years from now, the legion of gods under my command will carry the sword of judgment and bring real destruction!"
"If there are any penitents, you can recite my name silently and praise the holiness of balance at all times! Purify and baptize your sins with a sincere heart!"
"When the legions of God arrive, surrender to them with a repentant heart, and then you can be guided, embark on the road to redemption, go through trials, be illuminated by the glory of my balanced Lord, and return to the Kingdom of Joy..."
