Chapter 976 Rebuild the Ancient Holy City and Compile a New Epic

The moonlight is like water, falling from the western sky, pulling the towering Yanhuo Shenshan into a long shadow that extends like a giant snake. Clusters of sparkling flames lit up in the shadow of the majestic mountains.

At this moment, if one looks at the mountains on the ground from the distant night sky, it is like seeing a seaside giant snake that devours everything in tribal mythology! The giant snake gradually woke up from its deep sleep, and opened countless bright eyes. He looked at the gods in the galaxy coldly, revealing greedy hunger and killing intent. He will eat up all the old gods and bury all the old divinity. And the newborn sun will be born from his belly, just like the ancient prophecy...

"The gods died in the galaxy, and the main god will ascend to the top! All the ministries will be unified, and the descendants of the gluemen will be reshaped! And all of this must be realized in my hands, and it must not be delayed to future generations!..."

Shulot looked up at the stars, with the grand ambition of the first emperor burning in his chest. The conquest of the world has gradually reached a new stage. For him at this moment, fighting in one city and one place is far more important than the overall plan and the integration of the hearts of the various ministries! Therefore, he will be extra tolerant and let go of the talents who can help him in the integration of culture and belief and in the great cause of national cohesion!

Thinking of this, Shulot turned his head, with a gentle smile on his face for the first time. He dismissed all the generals, looked at the uneasy general Papp, and said with a smile.

"Pap, you have to meet me in person and surrender to me... There are two considerations. One should be to cancel the enmity and obtain the kingdom's forgiveness. For this, I have made the black wolf avenge me, and publicly forgive you for everything in the past in front of the generals..."

"Ah! Thank you, my supreme highness! You are this majestic mountain, and I would like to be a stone statue on the mountain, like an Olmec sculpture, to guard the deep mountain pass for you, and it will remain unchanged for thousands of years..."

The surrendered general Papp knelt down proficiently and sang compliments proficiently. During the half day today, he almost used up all the metaphors in the sacrificial poems, changed dozens of rhetoric, and didn't even have a single repeated praise. And personally felt Papp's literary and theological attainments, and Xiulot became more and more sure about the arrangement of this surrendered general.

"Pap, your second consideration should be to get my promise and to seek a bright future..."

Xiulot smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted Papp on the shoulder. Afterwards, the corners of his mouth curled up, calmly talking about his decision.

"According to my plan, I want you to choose a position among the priests of a temple somewhere on the seashore, or the captain of the thousand-man battalion of the navy fleet..."

"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Highness! I would like to be the captain of a navy battalion, conquer the east for the kingdom, and fight for the Lord God!..."

Hearing this, Papp was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he immediately chose the second one and became the captain of the Thousand-Men Battalion of the Navy.

"Don't worry! Papp, that was my original plan, before hearing your proposal..."

Seeing Papp's reaction, Shulot's smile became brighter. He shook Papp's hair, and told the new arrangement under the astonished eyes of the other party.

"After hearing your proposal of 'rebuilding the Olmec holy city', I agree! And I thought about it carefully. I need a candidate who can preside over the Olmec holy city and understand the Olmec heritage. He must also be able to compile the Olmec ancestral epic and properly integrate the epic of the alliance and the kingdom... And after thinking about it, there are very few cultural talents who can do all this well and convince the Totonac and Shanlinsoc tribes..."

With a relaxed expression, Xiulot looked at Papp, who was born as a Feathered Serpent Priest, and said meaningfully.

"Witness of the Lord God! In fact, in such an important position, there is probably only one person left in the Seashore Alliance right now... that is you, Pap!..."

"Ah! Ah, this! Your Highness? You... want me to go to the Holy City of Olmec and preside over the compilation of the epic of the ancestors?"

Hearing such an arrangement, General Papp opened his mouth wide in disbelief. He led the navy to surrender, and worked hard to gain His Highness's appreciation, but in exchange for a bright future...it turned out to be to go to the ruined "Ancient Holy City" right now, and to repair the nonsense "Epic of the Ancestors"?

"Lord God! Let...Let me write history?!...But...but my identity?...Your Highness, how can you let me do it alone in the future?!..."

"Witness of the Lord God! As long as there is devotion to the faith and loyalty to the kingdom, this great event can be done naturally! What's more, Papp, you are very smart and have the heritage of two seaside holy cities... You are also very flexible, with flexible beliefs and bottom lines..."

"And for this position, to sort out the 'true' epic of the ancestors... what is most needed is a smart and flexible talent like you!..."

Shulot put away his smile, his expression became serious for an instant, and a faint murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"What? Papp, you don't want to accept it? Could it be... your loyalty to the alliance and the kingdom today, and your devotion to the Lord God are all deceiving me and pretending on purpose?"

Shulot asked the question knowingly, and hit the general Papp. But upon hearing this sentence, General Papp was speechless, wanting to cry but not in tears, and didn't know what to say for a while. He hesitated for a long time, seeing His Highness's dangerous eyes, he had no choice but to kneel down on the ground.

"Your Highness! I...I am willing to accept it!...Just...just... I don't know the position of compiling epics in this ancient holy city, what is the status in the kingdom, and how many priests are equal to it?..."

"Hmm...let me think about it."

Shulot touched his chin, his eyes flickering. Rebuilding the holy city of Olmec and compiling the epic of the ancestors is undoubtedly a major task of the kingdom's priests!

For the Mexica Alliance and the Kingdom of the Lake, regardless of whether the ministries of the world recognize it or not, they have always claimed to be the orthodox inheritors of the Toltecs, and they also regard the older Olmecs as their ancient direct ancestors! The ultimate purpose of these statements is to strengthen the source of divinity of the Mexica royal family by emphasizing the ancestral civilization respected by all ministries, and to promote the reverence of the main god.

Right now, since the kingdom has conquered the coast of Totonac and has mastered many ruins of the Olmec civilization, it is natural to go further and strengthen the legitimacy of this culture and belief!

Therefore, the establishment of the Olmec Holy City and the compilation of ancestral epics are essentially competing for the highest interpretation of culture and beliefs in the Mesoamerican world! Then, this interpretation of culture and beliefs, along with the alliance's military conquest, was extended to all parts of the world... Finally, in the narration and inheritance of generations, the hearts of all parts were integrated, and the common consciousness of a nation was completely condensed!
