Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1428 - 983: The Prophecy of the Ancestor Epic: "Heavenly Destiny" Unifies All, Rebuilding the Jiao People!
"The Chief Divine bears witness, the Divine Object illuminates! The outline of the Ancestor Epic is the cycle of the five epochs, telling of the rule destined by the Chief Divine... Under the radiance of the Chief Divine, all the tribes of the world are destined to reunite!... And the Mexica Alliance, carrying the mission of the Chief Divine, is destined to rise from the highlands... Then, the Divine King is destined to conquer the world, and Your Highness is destined to unify all tribes... All of this is reflected in the Kingdom Epic of the Lake sent by Your Highness."
The old Witch Doctor Kani appeared calm, smiling, as he took out a thick scroll of the Kingdom Epic of the Lake. Upon seeing this brand-new scroll, the Papu Priest immediately nodded in understanding.
To enable the Coastal Priests to compile the Olmec Ancestor Epic, Xiulote specially sent dozens of copies of the latest Kingdom Epic of the Lake as a reference for many priests. Many people present had more or less read this "brand-new" epic and discovered many "truths" that had been altered.
Faced with this newly revised epic, the reactions among the many priests varied. Some openly praised it, some secretly shook their heads, some were full of reverence, and some harbored criticism in their hearts... Unfortunately, only the old Witch Doctor Kani and Priest Papu grasped the "essence" within it!
Xiulote aims to achieve the first grand unification of all the Central American tribes in history and even lay the ideological foundation in advance for the future unification of the tribes of North and South America... He must create and demonstrate the legitimacy of the Empire’s rule, the "Heavenly Destiny" of world unification!
This "Heavenly Destiny" will be established on the foundation of religion and culture, deriving from both the "Chief Divine" and the "Ancestor," as well as the consensus built upon the human heart. The newly compiled Olmec Ancestor Epic is a crucial "Ancestor" component in demonstrating the "Heavenly Destiny"! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"The myths and legends of all the tribes of the world, the relics and history of the Ancestors, all ’prove’ the divine decree of the Chief Divine and follow the prophecy of the Ancestor Epic! Our mission is merely to rediscover all of this under the guidance of the Divine Revelation..."
The old Witch Doctor Kani, smiling peacefully, looked around at the many priests, still somewhat astonished and bewildered. He pondered for a while, deciding to elaborate more clearly.
"All the tribes of the world know about the legend of the five epochs, with various different interpretations... It was only after we meticulously reviewed the historical materials of the Olmec Era that we ’discovered’ the ’true’ divine mandate and epic!..."
"As the compilers of the Ancestor Epic, we must ’inherit’ the legacy of the Ancestors to tell all tribes of the world: the ’Divine mandate’ they should truly believe in, the ’Destiny’ they should truly accept, and the ’Right Path’ they should truly follow!..."
"The ’reality’ of the five epochs... In the First Epoch, the Chief Divine awakened, igniting fire. He created the world, the sacred Rubber Divine Tree, and created and enlightened mankind... This is a consensus among all tribes of the world, all having similar creation myths. However, the tribes do not know that the distinct initial deities in their myths are actually manifestations of the Chief Divine!..."
"Hence, the key point of the First Epoch epic is the ’Chief Divine’! The Chief Divine is omnipresent and omnipotent and must be revered by all tribes..."
The old Witch Doctor Kani blinked at the audience, some deep in thought, smiling as he continued.
"The Second Epoch is the Epoch of the Olmec Ancestors! The Chief Divine slept; the Ancestors, using the ’Ancient Holy City’ as a source, established many ancient cities, the origins of all the tribes... As for the specific epics and legends within, they all require us to slowly organize, investigate, and compile bit by bit..."
"The key point of the Second Epoch is the ’legacy and omen’. The ’Legacy’ of ancestral divinity, the ’Omen’ of ancient destiny!... At the beginning of the epoch, fire ignited the Divine Tree; a blue-blooded serpent flowed out; an eagle of golden smoke flew away; and a wolf of black light descended!... Flame, Divine Tree, Blue Serpent, Golden Eagle, Black Wolf are the five sources of divinity in the world, also portending the destiny of the following epochs!"
At this point, the many priests looked at each other, their expressions subtle. In the ancient Olmec relics and stone carvings, the images of "flame", "Divine Tree", "serpent", "eagle", and "wolf" do frequently appear. Similar common elements are also present in the old relics and epic inheritance of various tribes, well known to all.
For example, the "Divine Eagle carrying the Divine Serpent" among the Mexica Tribes, the "Sun Divine Eagle, Flames of the Deceased" among the Lake Tribes, the "Cloud Divine Tree" among the Cloud People, the "God of Death Black Wolf" among the Tlaxcala Tribes, the "Coyote Ancestor" among the Wilderness Dog Descendants, the "Cotton God Tree" among the Maya Tribes, and the "Coastal Divine Serpent" among the Coastal Tribes...
However, these nature-derived worship images have various interpretations among different states and tribes, and there are more than just these five. There usually isn’t a strong connection between these five images... Yet, from the words of the old Witch Doctor Kani, it seems he intends to single out these five images and even arrange them sequentially to write some kind of "fate" or "prophetic" doctrine...
The expressions of the priests in the Temple of God changed, their thoughts churned. At that moment, they all vaguely anticipated something, grasping a little of the "essence" of the epic. Hence, they all just listened intently, and no one openly opposed.
"Within the prophecy of the Ancestor Epic, the roaming Blue Serpent, the flying far Golden Eagle, and the descending Black Wolf will return one after another, initiating a new epoch and concluding the end of an epoch!"
The old Witch Doctor Kani smiled slightly, with his eyebrows and hair slightly gray, like an old fox spirit. And a circle of priests in front of him varied in stature as foxes, big and small. Here and now, a group of foxes gathered, defining the rough outline of the five epochs, compiling an Ancestor Epic to be passed down through generations, establishing a "Historical Record" of the dominion over America!
"In the Third Epoch, the Chief Divine slumbers, and the Blue Serpent is the first to return, transforming into the myriad deities of all tribes, building tall pyramids! Thus, the images of the Deities of various tribes are mostly serpent-shaped. The tribes also built towering pyramids inscribed with carved depictions of the serpent deities..."
"As for specific evidence... The Maya Tribes in the Eastern Jungle have the Serpent Deity Pyramid of Tikal City; The Teotihuacan people on the Northern Highland have the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon; The Ancient Zapotek people in the Southern Jungle have Mount Alban Pyramid; The Loma Alta people in the Western Lake have the lakeside pyramid..."
"All tribes under heaven share a common origin and are destined to unite as one!... Thus, the brief division of the Third Epoch, the return of the Blue Serpent, and the emergence of false gods among the tribes were merely the temporary dispersal of our ancestors’ divinity during the slumber of the Chief Divine... The essence of the Third Epoch is also ’division and dispersal’..."
After finishing the explanation of the Third Epoch, the Old Witch Doctor took a deep breath, and his voice gradually grew louder. His expression solemn, he prayed to the Chief Divine in front of everyone before speaking loudly.
"Praise the Chief Divine, who awakens in the Fourth Epoch!... When the Fourth Epoch begins, the Divine Eagle carries the Divine Serpent back! The Divine Eagle, carrying the divinity of the ancestors, listens to the guidance of the Chief Divine, searching throughout the world, seeking the tribe truly ordained with the divine command..."
"At last, over two hundred years ago, the Divine Eagle rested on an island in the Lake. It obeyed the will of the Chief Divine, bestowing the Sun’s divinity to the Mexica Tribes, and simultaneously granting the divine mandate of the Chief Divine... which is ’to conquer the tribes of the world, unify their faith, and reclaim the divinity of the false gods’!..."
"From that time, with the rise of the Mexica Tribes, the previously scattered tribes began to move towards unification once again! And now, the sweeping conquests of the Mexica Alliance to unify the world is a destiny already predetermined in the epic!..."
The Old Witch Doctor Kani raised his eyebrows, a hint of ’devotion’ and ’excitement’ on his face. He spoke passionately, holding aloft the epic scroll of the kingdom as if holding a royal decree from his Highness!
"Chief Divine bless! All the tribes, in the Fourth Epoch, are unified by the Divine Eagle! This is the prophecy of the ancestral epic, and also the main theme of the Kingdom of the Lake epic, repeatedly mentioned in this long scroll!..."
"Esteemed Coastal Priests! We have re-examined the Olmec ancestors’ epic under the guidance of the Chief Divine... only to discover that everything happening now was long determined in the oldest ’destiny’!... Therefore, this is the ’divine command of the Chief Divine,’ also the ’heavenly destiny’ from the sky!..."
"And as the Coastal Priests who inherit the Olmec legacy, our most important mission is to connect the past with the future, ’unearth’ everything in the ancestral epics, then amplify and inform all tribes!..."
"Divine command and heavenly destiny... linking past and future... amplify and glorify..."
Upon hearing such a resounding narrative, the expressions of many priests were shaken, unable to restrain themselves from discussing. They speculated about the true theme of the kingdom’s epic and pondered the connections between the epoch epics.
"The awakening and slumber of the Chief Divine, the dispersal and gathering of divinity, the heavenly destiny of Mexica rule... If the epic is compiled with such a mindset, the entire world’s context, the course of history, becomes instantly clear!"
High Priest Iwood was filled with emotion, eyes showcasing admiration. As the newly promoted third-level main priest in the temple of Golden Bay City, Iwood undoubtedly represents the authority of Golden Bay City and a certain will of his Highness. After a moment of thought, he looked at the Old Witch Doctor Kani before him, tightly gripping the epic scroll of the kingdom, unable to stop himself from standing up in front of everyone, first to agree and respond.
"Chief Divine bear witness! I have listened to his Highness’s teachings in Golden Bay City!... What wise Kani said indeed corresponds with his Highness’s Divine Revelation! I believe this is the enlightenment of the Chief Divine, also the most sacred guidance!... guiding us to unravel the prophecy of the ancestral epics and narrate the destiny-bound future for all tribes!..."
As this conclusion was made, those present instantly fell silent. Among the Totonac priests, some were silent, others nodded, without a word of dissent. The Divine Priest Papu showed joy, stood up, having long figured everything out. He bowed his head, offering a sincere bow to the Old Witch Doctor, then excitedly announced to everyone.
"Thank you, esteemed wise Kani! Thanks to the guidance of the Divine Object!... The Golden Eagle of the Fourth Epoch will subdue the Divine Serpent of the Third Epoch. And the Divine Eagle will descend with the Divine Serpent in tow, entrusting the Mexica Tribes with this divine command!... This is undoubtedly the prophecy of the ancestral epic!"
"The Golden Eagle symbolizes the Sun, incarnating as successive generations of Mexica predecessor monarchs. This last generation of Golden Eagle is the great Divine King Avit of the Alliance. He will sweep across all tribes, completing the mission of the Fourth Epoch’s end, unifying the world completely! By then, all tribes’ Divine Serpents will be subdued by the Divine Eagle, and the divinity of the Blue Serpent will fully return..."
"Therefore, the essence of the Fourth Epoch’s epic is the protection of the Chief Divine, an ’eagle and serpent unification’!..."
Papu, the Divine Priest, was radiant, standing at the center of the temple, looking towards the many priests present. Everyone nodded in agreement. The Old Witch Doctor Kani stroked his chin, smiling suavely, and once again retreated to the corner.
As for the epic of the upcoming Fifth Epoch, its significance is extraordinarily profound, and it’s related to the future of everyone. And since the Papu Priest stood forth, it is only natural, ’bound by duty,’ to personally announce and take credit for this great achievement.
"Chief Divine bear witness, the ancestral epics have long foretold! The Blue Serpent returns from the sea, opening the Third Epoch; the Golden Eagle returns from the sky, opening the Fourth Epoch... And the Fifth Epoch’s opening will be completed by the last Black Wolf returning from the earth!"
"It is a black light, coming from the deep earth, possessing the divinity of the God of Death, incarnating as our auspicious God of Death!..."
"And the essence of the Fifth Epoch is the ’reconstruction of the Jiao People’! Under the control of the auspicious God of Death, all tribes will gather into one again, reshaping into the true descendants of the Jiao People!..."
