Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!

Chapter 1873 1353: The Construction of Unified Culture: Five Elements, Heavenly Destiny, and Gummy Ren History

"When the first flame was bestowed by the gods, the ancestors of the Gummy People emerged from the forest, the Ancient Saint had already prophesied the future: Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions!... The cycle of the five eras, the nurturing of five divine objects, the reverse creation of the Five Elements, carrying five ancient and destined Heavenly Destinies!...""The divine objects of the five eras are the flame, the divine tree, the blue serpent, the golden eagle, and the black wolf. The First Era ignited the initial fire from chaos, and the ancestors of the Gummy People built the first City-State. In the Second Era, the divine tree emerged from the fire, and the Ancient Saint bestowed enlightenment upon the Tribes under the tree. In the Third Era, the blue serpent dispersed from the divine tree and scattered across the seven clans of the Gummy People. In the Fourth Era, the golden eagle hunted the blue serpent, subsequently conquering the Tribes of the Gummy People, re-coalescing divinity, and uniting the Tribes as one! Until the final Fifth Era, the black wolf ran north and south, connecting the endless continent, the seven branches of the Gummy People finally unified. And the Heavenly Destiny Divine Bird of the Chief Divine descended from the sky, perched atop the scorched divine tree, becoming the ultimate totem of faith for the Gummy People!"

"The elements of these five eras are fire, wood, water, gold, earth! They reverse positions to give birth, each succeeding element accommodating the previous; earth births gold, gold births water, water births wood, wood births fire, and the Five Elements are Heavenly Destiny!... And the specific revelation of Heavenly Destiny is the five missions of the Gummy People: 'Inherit the Divine Fire, Worship the Chief Divine', 'Cultivate the Fields, Nurture the People', 'Connect the Great Lake, Master the Two Oceans', 'Conquer the Four Directions, Proclaim Martial Prosperity', 'Unify North and South, Boundless Thousands of Miles'!"

Inside the tent, Aweit looked solemnly, carefully reading the "Gummy Ren History". At the beginning of this book, it contains the theme running through the entire text, akin to prophecy, "Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions". And as long as one carefully appreciates, the profundity and mystery within, the coherence and logic, the grandeur and guidance, are like the most sacred sacrificial divination, enough to drive the devoted Nava nobility into frenzy!

"Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions?... Xiulote, is this also the prophecy of your Divine Revelation?"

"Ah! Witnessed by the Chief Divine! Divine King Teacher, this "Gummy Ren History" comes from the archaeological discovery of the Olmec First Ancient City, the 'Ancient Holy City'... It was the devout Totonac priests who excavated the true ancient lineage and prophecy from the old Era Stele and carvings! According to the priests' investigations, this 'Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions' carving is at least four thousand years old and was drawn by the common ancestors of the tribes!"

Xiulote, with a solemn expression, recounted the origin of the "Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Missions". In fact, the historiographical priests of the Ancient Holy City indeed gathered five types of ancient divine object murals and found the images and reliefs of the Five Elements, arranging them into the "correct" interpretation sequence, which was enshrined in the pyramid temple of the Ancient Holy City! And Xiulote and the priests only made some "minor contributions", interpreting the patterns sealed in murals and stone carvings in a "reasonable manner".

Therefore, this Heavenly Destiny theory is by no means "half-true and half-false", nor "deliberately fabricated", nor "I annotate the six classics"... This is "evidenced archaeological" and "the Renaissance of ancient Gummy People civilization", with a complete set of complementary relics, antiques, and inherited songs, absolutely withstands the test of history and posterity!

"Chief Divine! It's genuinely an ancient Olmec prophecy? Heavenly Destiny... the fate of the world?... the Heavenly Destiny of the Gummy People!"

Aweit pursed his lips, his expression grew even more solemn. He could not transcend the times, nor see through beyond like those aged, seasoned old priests from "divinity". He continued reading further, flipping through the early deep and obscure, interlinked, and with various proofs by priests' "Heavenly Destiny Theory" section, proceeding to the real "historical investigation" part.

"In the earliest First Era, far away eighty 52-year cycles, forty-one thousand six hundred years ago! The Chief Divine awoke, igniting the flame of the sun. He created the world, created the sacred Rubber Divine Tree, using different Heavenly Divine images to create and enlighten human beings! The Chief Divine is omnipresent, omnipotent!"

"The ancestors raised the flame torch of the Chief Divine, emerged from the jungle, from the origin at the end of the Western Sea, traveled east for forty-one thousand six hundred li, finally stopping at the position of the Ancient Holy City! Here, they saw the sacred Rubber Divine Tree, towering to the sky, supporting the ancient heavens. This unique world divine tree carries the divinity of heaven and earth, also the only path from earth to sky!... So it was here that the ancestors established the first City-State, the Ancient Holy City..."

"Then, the Chief Divine slept in the divine tree, in dreams exhaled the true flame of the sun. Thus, the initial great fire of the Second Era burned the towering divine tree! The flame of the sun ignited the rubber tree, flowed out the blue-blooded serpent, flew away the golden-smoke eagle, fell the black-light wolf... these five divine objects dispersed, became the five sources of divinity in the world. And the Ancient Saint saw all these in person, knew this was the fate of the five eras, thus leaving the prophecy of 'Heavenly Destiny Five Elements'..."

"Thus, the ancient Second Era began from eighty 52-year cycles, four thousand one hundred and sixty years ago! Starting from the 'Ancient Holy City', the ancestors then established many ancient cities. These initial ancient cities were also the clan origins of various Tribes across the world. But the Chief Divine never awoke, with the burnt towering divine tree, divinity dispersed everywhere. Thus, the ancestors of the Gummy People, for finding the trace of the Chief Divine, for seeking the dispersed divinity, resolutely left the Ancient Holy City, heading in different directions! Hence, the seven branches of the Gummy People emerged! And the scattered Third Era of the Gummy People began!..."

Reading this, Aweit took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotional turbulence within! Even as wise as he is, he was still shocked to the bone by this ancestor story that spans thousands, traversing thousands of miles. Though he is often doubting, in the face of this logically complete myth-history, with all sorts of proofs and research, he could not but choose to believe!

Ultimately, this narrative of unity of the Gummy People and ancient divinity is precisely what he is willing to believe and what the absolute majority of the tribes around the world are willing to believe. This is the connection of culture, creating "something" from "nothing", then freezing "something" into "truth". And when it comes to the final connection of generations, this is incredibly real faith, engraved in everyone's soul imprint!

"The Chief Divine witnesses it all! From the Second Era to the Third Era, each branch of the Gummy People has created its own legends and civilization! The first branch of the Gummy People remained in the land of Olmec, guarding the many ancient cities. They continued the Totonac Tribes, Jungle Soc Tribes..."

"The second branch of the Gummy People went west to the highlands, becoming the Teotihuacan Tribes, establishing the pyramids of the sun and moon, extending to the Highland Nava Tribes, until the Mexica chosen by the Chief Divine..."

"The third branch of the Gummy People went further west to the lake, becoming the Loma Alta Tribes, establishing the pyramids by the lakeside, finally extending to the Prepetcha and Tekos people..."

"The fourth branch of the Gummy People went to the southern jungle, becoming the Gusapoteque Tribes, establishing the Mount Alban pyramid, then extending to the three Chuyun Tribes..."

"The fifth branch of the Gummy People went east to the Maya Jungle, founding the Golden Maya Tribes, establishing the Serpent Divine pyramid of Tikal City, extending to the lowland and Highland Maya! They did not stop, continuing eastward to the East Sea Islands, spreading in the stormy sea, extending to the warm lands of Cuba, mountainous Haiti, and island tribes!..."

"The sixth branch of the Gummy People went north to the Northern Continent, scattering amid endless divine disasters, from the Western Sea Coast to the East Coast, from the wilderness to the grasslands, from the Great River to the forest... They formed hundreds of small tribes, reaching the cold Far North land!... They have started returning, rejoining the ancient Gummy People clan..."

"The seventh branch of the Gummy People went south to the Southern Continent, getting lost in the endless rainforest, divided into four major tribes... the stone salt gemstone Tribes of the Chibcha, the jungle Great River Long River Tribes, the Andes Tribes of the mountains, the Earth Mountain Plateaus Tribes of the Mapuche... They have forgotten the Chief Divine, but the sunlight of the Chief Divine shines over all, they will eventually have a day of return, the Tribes must be reunited!"

"However, the story of the seven branches of the Gummy People is not the entirety of the ancestor history. The Ancient Saint of the Second Era, through the gaze of the Stellar Realm, saw through everything of the origin! At the very beginning of the First Era, forty-one thousand six hundred li to the west, there were the ancestors of the Gummy People holding high the torch, the initial starting point of origin! And the location of that origin lies opposite the sea in the west, on the distant Western Sea Continent, with ancestors of the same clan who have not crossed east!"
