Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1552 - 1093: The Goddess of Spring’s Rite—Petals and the World

The night was deep, and the stars were dazzling. The bonfire illuminated the courtyard, casting enchanting shadows. The Goddess of Spring in the lake bestowed dreamlike enchantments of summer, enveloping the "Divine Warrior" lost in the aroma of the dreams.

And the seductive and obsessed, the passionate and sober, the singing and whispering, dancing and tumbling, chasing and struggling... all forms of indulgence transformed into vibrant memories, sinking into the subtly blood-colored Sacred Spring, as pleasing sacrifices to the Goddess of Spring...

In that heated dream, the lynx chased vibrant petals, clawing with wild instincts. Each petal of different colors concealed unforgettable sounds and more deeply etched images. When he plucked a blue flower, his eyes saw the pursuit of wind and thunder, and beside his ears, the high song of the clouds was heard.

"The masks bestowed by the Goddess protect the Goddess and the Spirit Fox! Before the Goddess breaks the divine power, the masks of the Goddess and the fox cannot be removed... To distinguish the one true Goddess among twenty Spirit Foxes, it relies on careful touch and sensation, from top to bottom, from outside to inside..."

Like lightning, the illusions flashed and faded, and the lynx transformed into wind and thunder. He inherited the power of the Divine Descendant, capturing Spirit Foxes one by one, identifying and releasing them over and over with patience, yet never glimpsing the sudden image of the Goddess.

Orange petals fell before the dim bonfire, reflecting fox bodies under fox clothes, etched with rouge-colored goddess water patterns. Until now, in these captivating and hazy light and shadows, the ruling eyes could only helplessly lose their function, while the submissive body instead exhibited acute sensation, becoming the master...

"The Goddess's ritual is a test for the Divine Descendants! A true Divine Warrior needs not only the strength, speed, and stamina of a Jaguar, but also the acuity, wisdom, and thought of an Eagle!... How should one deal with the surrounding, intersecting, cyclical Spirit Foxes?..."

Guided by the songs, green petals fell from the trees, like enlightenment from the Divine Tree. The lynx briefly awoke from indulgent hunting, his cat eyes reflecting the deep green pods and gray-yellow ropes.

Soon, he realized, flames rolling within his chest, wildness surging throughout his body. He dragged the captured fox, bound it between deep green and gray-yellow colors, unable to weave coherent pictures, listening to the whispered fox language... Then, in the lynx's sharp paws, those beautifully dancing butterflies were one by one clasped by their fluttering wings, helplessly falling beneath the tree of mesmerizing fragrance. The splendid moments of time fled and gathered, until the light and shadows halted their steps, solidifying the unique and final magnificence, falling into the Hunter's hands...

"Mighty and brave Warrior, I am the Goddess's envoy! Please spare my captured companions, please return my fox garment, let me maintain the sacred whiteness, and return to the Goddess's pure lake!"

Through the fox's mask, hearing the Goddess's weeping and plea, the Warrior confirmed the Goddess's identity. Burning with inner flames, he ignored the kicking and resisting prey, silently taking out the rope.

All resistance proved futile, and the lynx clutched its paws close, finally capturing the Chager Bird. Red petals fell from the bird's feathers, with a faint pink, like the subtle red of the Blood Spring, flowing with songs of sacrifice and desecration!

"The Goddess's power protects the Goddess; to completely break the Goddess's protection, remove the Goddess's mask... can only be washed away with the sacrifice's Blood Spring, the goddess water patterns inscribed on the Goddess..."

The lynx, carrying the Chager Bird, urgently came to the spring. Ignoring the Chager Bird's cries and resistance and the Spirit Foxes' mournful wails, he placed the bird into the water. After patient stroking and washing, the goddess water patterns dissipated in the water, and the Goddess's mask was finally removed.

Heavy breathing paused instantly; teary eyes were pure and flawless, the stunning face dreamlike... And after observing the tearful eyes, confirming the curling clouds, the person before him, cradled, was indeed the dream Goddess...

"No... it can't be! I am the Goddess's envoy, also the daughter of the sky! Earthly Warrior, you cannot do this, you cannot defile the sacred envoy of the Goddess, not under the Goddess's gaze!"

"Divine Warrior, the envoy connects to the divinity of the Goddess, to leave the envoy forever in the world, making her lose the ability to return to the sky... requires exerting every effort, injecting your own divinity... and such selfless blending, must be under the Goddess's altar, under the Goddess's watch!"

Colorful petals, fall with the ultimate white. Blazing flames ascend with the highest black smoke. The lynx shifted between black and white, swelling with the rising heat and transforming into a Jaguar. When the overwhelming wildness swept in, submerging the last thoughts. The Jaguar sought to hunt everything in the mountain forest because he is the master of the mountain forest!...

"Praise the Goddess of Spring! She witnesses the world's mountain forests, witnesses all hunting! She knows the mysteries of nature and the songs of birds and beasts! Jaguar hunts the birds, birds sing joyfully entangled. Jaguar hunts the foxes, foxes weep mournfully. Jaguar hunts the fawns, fawns kneel gently. Jaguar hunts the egrets, egrets circle their necks in cries..."

The moon rises and falls, and the bonfire burns out in the wind. The final song drifts under the profound night, like the ascending morning star reaching the heavens, seeking the Dawn of Qiming. And all accompanying fox cries and howls transformed into hymns to the moon, a symphony between the sky and the earth, the symphonic chapter of summer!...

"Summer is a flourishing vitality, and life is a cycle of the heavens and earth. The sky has winds, rains, and thunderbolts; clouds disperse and fog scatters. The earth gathers refreshing rains, with rivers and lakes flowing... The divinity of the Goddess and Warrior, like the blending of sky and earth, nurtures divine offspring, extending prosperous futures for the tribes!"

"Ah, ah! Hoo, hoo! As Divine Offspring are nurtured from the heavens and earth, the Goddess can only sigh, for all is the trajectory of fate. She leaves a blessing of vitality, bestowing it upon the newly born Divine Offspring..."

"Yoo-yoo! Awoo! That new Divine Offspring will have the fox's wisdom and beauty, will have the tiger's ferocity and strength, just like his brave father, just like his beautiful mother! Praise the Goddess of Spring!"

Summer's dreamlike enchantments, like the mist rising at dawn, flow with the mountain forest's breath. And when the morning sun appears by the lake, the master of the mountain forest falls into a deep sleep, occupying the entire courtyard territory. He embraces unforgettable memories, holding the beautiful Chager Bird close, surrounded by countless enchanting Spirit Foxes, sinking into a magnificent jade dream...

And a blood-red sun, vast and surging, rises from the southern mountain forest. It ascends with immense divinity, opening its blazing divine eyes, watching the world awake! All life in the mountain forest, upon meeting its gaze, will be seen through entirely, and the flames will burn upon them! And the only one able to elude it, forcing it to look away, is the one who falls asleep before it...
