Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1437 - 991: The Doctrine of Heavenly Destiny: Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions, and the Origins of the Clans
The long wind of September stretches a thousand miles eastward, accompanied by the running Messenger, until the end of the seaside. The golden one ascends to the sky, illuminating the ancient seaside city. And the black God of Death’s Wolf Banner flies over the head of Hidden Serpent City, symbolizing the king’s presence!
At this moment, thousands of Imperial Guard Warriors are tightly patrolling inside and outside the city. In the most securely guarded Hidden Serpent Temple, Xiulote looks on with satisfaction, watching the two Third-Level Main Priests before him, and gives a pleased nod.
"May the Chief Divine protect us! Very good! Very good!... Papu, Iwood, the epic outline of the ancestors you reported, I am very satisfied!..."
"Papu, the five symbolic Divine Objects you proposed for the Five Eras: Flame, Divine Tree, Blue Serpent, Golden Eagle, and Black Wolf, can be further expanded!... That is, the Five Elements of the Five Eras: Fire, Wood, Water, Gold, Earth!... These Five Elements of the Five Eras are exactly about reverse-generating and accepting the predecessors, Wood generates Fire, Water generates Wood, Gold generates Water, Earth generates Gold... As for the detailed explanation, hmm..."
Upon saying this, Xiulote paused for a moment and decided to stand on the shoulders of the Celestial Empire, transforming the Han Dynasty’s "Five Virtues and Five Elements Theory" into the "Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions"! This is the American characteristic of "Heaven and Human Resonance," the Central American version of "Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals," to form a complete doctrine of Heavenly Mandate rule.
"The Chief Divine has sent down Divine Revelation! This is precisely Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions!... The reverse generation of Five Elements is just like the shape of a pyramid. The topmost layer is Fire, which receives the divinity of the Sun God! Next is Wood, nurturing the verdant fields. Then comes Water, connecting the East and West Great Lakes. Below that is Gold, conquering the various places of the North and South. The final layer is Earth, connected to the land, extending to the land of the Jiao People, linking the North-South Continent and all tribes under heaven!..."
"Therefore, these Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions, layer by layer, reverse-accept and expand, the divinity spreads from heaven to earth, becoming ever grander and broader... It is not only the epic outline of the Five Eras, but the prophecy that the Chief Divine granted to the ancestors has long revealed the five fates and missions of the Jiao People’s descendants!..."
"Those are ’Inherit Divine Fire, Worship the Chief Divine’, ’Cultivate the fields, nurture millions’, ’Connect the Great Lakes, control the two oceans’, ’Conquer the four directions, prosper in martial virtue’, finally ’Unify the North and South, boundless across a myriad miles!’... In summary, it’s ’Faith’, ’Farming’, ’Controlling the Sea’, ’Conquest’, ’Unification’!"
Xiulote, with a smile of satisfaction, concluded somewhat proudly.
"Five Gods: Flame, Divine Tree, Blue Serpent, Golden Eagle, Black Wolf! Five Elements: Fire, Wood, Water, Gold, Earth! Five Missions: Faith, Farming, Controlling the Sea, Conquest, Unification! So, the legacy of the Five Eras, Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions, is the Heavenly Mandate of us Jiao People’s descendants to rule the world!... Haha!..."
"Ah! Oh this! Let me record your holy words, Your Highness, and carefully study them to refine them into our ancestors’ divine text!..."
Papu Priest was stunned for several moments upon hearing this comprehensive system of teachings, showing sincere admiration. He respectfully bowed, then quickly began writing, recording His Highness’ enlightenment. Behind him, two steps away, the old Witch Doctor Kani shrank his neck, instantly realizing he had encountered a truly formidable peer. He immediately bowed his head, deciding to remain silent and not vie for any credit in composing history.
"Oh Heavenly Divine! This Highness, said to be divinely inspired, though young in age, is so adept at ’prophecy, divination, and divinity’!... Hmm, no, it is taboo among peers, saying too much would lead to mistakes!... In his presence, it is better to say less, yes, less!..."
"Very well! What I just said is the main idea and outline. As for specific elucidations, epic correspondences, interpretations of relics and Divine Objects... these will depend on your excavation and research! As long as your compilation yields results, the printing houses of the Alliance and Kingdom will print thousands of copies of these ancestors’ epics with illustrated texts, distributing them to every village and banner team, letting all tribes under heaven inherit and chant them!... And all of you who compose history will also become immortal with the spread of these epics!..."
Xiulote, with a smile and poems, affirmed the contributions and merits of these Coastal Priests on the cultural unification front and promised rewards in the future. Then, looking towards the other Third-Level Main Priest, Iwood, he praised with a smile.
"Iwood, you are also doing well! You managed to see the lineage of six Olmec ancestors from the kingdom’s epics, excavating the bloodline of the Jiao People from the distant East Sea Islands and various tribes on the North-South Continent... I am very satisfied, very satisfied!"
"The Chief Divine bears witness! You must continue the research and excavation in this area, you can even create another book, titled... ’Jiao People’s Ancestral History, Study of the World’s Clan Origins’. Now, with the Alliance unifying the Highland and Seaside, the highland system and cloud system are almost completely under control, you can start proving from the Olmec ancestors onwards, generation by generation!"
"Remember! For all tribes, the source is the same for ten thousand generations, you must ’pursue truth and reality’, thoroughly ’excavate’ every tribe’s Jiao People’s ancestral lineage! And those outstanding ancestors from each tribe, the epic heroes sung, must also be ’organized’ and recorded within, leaving behind the names of the Jiao People’s bloodline..." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"The God’s Temples and Priests in various places will cooperate with your historical verification! Once the compilation is complete, the necessary ancestral steles to be erected, and the inheritance carvings, craftsmen will naturally engrave them, offering them at the Main God Temples of each place, receiving the worship of the tribespeople!..."
Xiulote earnestly instructed, guiding with patience. For the unification of all tribes under heaven, for the cohesion of various tribes into one nation. He did not mind starting a ’discovery of ancestors’ throughout the world, compiling an unprecedented ’vast lineage’. Even, if necessary, large-scale ’archaeological excavations’ and ’reproductions of panels’ are entirely possible, and they will definitely occur!
"As for the ’Maya lineage’, the ’Island lineage’, the ’Northern lineage’... Since the Alliance and the Kingdom have already made contact, preparations can be made in advance... But the ’Southern lineage’ is somewhat too distant and is not urgent at the moment..."
"Yes! Yes! Praise the Chief Divine! Praise Your Highness!... I will definitely compile the Jiao People ancestors’ history, authenticate the ancestors of various tribes of the Jiao People!..."
The Third-level Main Priest Iwood was full of excitement, prostrating. From the instructions of His Highness, he could imagine how grand a project it would be to compile the history of the Jiao People and organize the ancestral origins of all tribes under heaven. And what immense power and honor it would carry! With such responsibility bestowed upon him by His Highness, his future would certainly not be just that of a third-level main priest!
"May the Chief Divine protect! Perhaps ten or twenty years later, I might even touch the revered Divine Staff of a Fifth-level Supreme High Priest!..."
"Very good! All you Coastal Priests, I am very satisfied with your ancestral authentication and excavations! From today onward, the staff compiling the ancestral epics shall continue to expand, double in size!... Hmm, right here, establish the Olmec Academy of the Divine Might University of the Kingdom, responsible for compiling the epics! And subsequent Priest Apprentices will also join in batches, allowing your authentications to systematically continue!"
"As for the direction of your authentication, it should be divided into two main categories: one is the Heavenly Destiny of the Five Eras, Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions. The other is the history of the Jiao People ancestors, the heritage of six branches!"
After arranging the matters related to the centuries-long ’historical construction project’, Xiulote felt elated and the smile on his face became much brighter. He looked at the many respectful Coastal Priests, at those graying heads, generously granting promises.
"May the Chief Divine witness! Learned and devout Coastal Priests, accomplish all this, and your names shall be eternally engraved in the epics! And whether you or your descendants, you will be richly rewarded by the Kingdom!"
"Praise the Supreme Chief Divine! Praise the Olmec Ancestors! Praise the Divine Revelation of His Highness!!..."
Many history-compiling priests saluted in unison, their voices filled with excitement. Meanwhile, the old Witch Doctor Kani lowered his head, eyes flickering, feeling that the position he had mingled into this time seemed like one he could truly hold for a lifetime...
"Your Highness! An urgent message from the Head Warrior!..."
Everyone was gathered together, singing praises and imagining a bright future. A red-haired, swift-running Messenger, however, raised a roll of parchment high, rushing in from outside the Temple. Moments later, Xiulote took the parchment, unfolded it for a glance, and burst into hearty laughter.
"Haha! Good! Very good!... More than half a month ago, the Kingdom’s legion had already captured Cloud Serpent Mountain City! The last City-State of Tlaxcala on the Highland has thus fallen!"
"This is the protection of the Chief Divine, and even more so a revelation of destiny! The unification of the world, the fusion of all tribes, has taken yet another great step forward!"
At this point, Xiulote felt exuberant and very satisfied. After nearly four years of conquest, the most stubborn archenemy of the Mexica Alliance, the Tlaxcala tribes, known posthumously for their strongest fighting force, had finally been completely annihilated! And at this moment, the unification of Central America, apart from the loosely divided Maya tribes, had only two remaining major forces: the Mistec tribes, and the Zapotec tribes!
"Praise the Chief Divine! Go, record this major event as a symbol of the fusion of the Tlaxcala tribes into the epics, to be sung to future generations!"
"Praise the Chief Divine! Divine protection for the Alliance!"
The many Coastal Priests saluted again, faces full of smiles. The stronger the Alliance became, the more important their work. And when the Alliance unified all tribes under heaven, everything they unearthed would be history that is immutable for millennia, passed down through generations!~
