There is nothing that can give all living beings in the world an overwhelming sense of presence more than the dazzling yet hazy stars in the sky.
The sun itself has such charm that it both awes and reveres everything.
The civilization buried under the dust and the history once praised by generations will all pass away. In this world, the only thing that can be engraved with the years in rich and colorful strokes forever is the deep blue sun at the top of the sky. All things exist only for a moment.
But the waves that are stirred up in the end will penetrate the starlight and surpass everything. The countless wills in every era will be like the light of the sky that will save the silence without stars and moon. But in the next era, they will eventually return to dust like withered flowers. The torrent of fate is so irresistible that in the present era we can only hold on to the 'moment'.
Cause and effect are intricate and time is intertwined.
Although most living things cannot see it, cause and effect and time influence each other like complex threads that spread everywhere. People live, decay, and eventually die in their own trends and with their own will through the connection between cause and effect and time.
However, the distant sun was silently watching those lines.
'Destruction' is coming. Once the 'Spider' chooses to wake up, the planet will become like that. That is the precursor to destruction.
The blue planet will gradually disappear, shatter, tear apart, and gradually devour everything that lives on it.
Guan saw it this way, and the man saw the direction of the future, but it didn't matter to him.
......However, a sound was heard, a sound that should never be heard.
“I know who I am.”
That was not a sound from a physical entity; it came from within oneself, yet was even more distant.
"I will let you in the Aztec and Mayan world see--"
"Who will I be?"
Something extremely dazzling gradually filled up the heat of the 'sun' again.
Light is hope.
Hope is people.
As time passes, people are born, shine and give off heat, but their short lives will eventually disappear.
The light of life is brighter and nobler than any gem, and you never get tired of looking at it.
I have always cherished them, but I also feel pity for these lights.
Even though these starlights are so weak and unable to dispel the darkness, just like no matter how hard the stars try to shine, the true dawn will never come.
The darkness of the eternal night is deep and thick like ink, and can easily cover up the tiny and scattered starlight.
"I am the sun."
The whole body of the 'sun' is shouting, and after billion years, the long-lost vitality fills the whole body.
It was as if every tissue component was replaced with something completely different, far exceeding the limit allowed by a container like a human. The energy surging from the depths of the soul awakened the man's consciousness, which should have been "dead".
But is this worth rejoicing?
Living in the sun will imprison you, but at the same time you will also be blessed by the sun. There must be beauty in it.
If you want to live a peaceful life as a god, you must never step into there lightly, because the essence is just a mimicry, not the reality, and is destined to go out after burning.
However, he did not stop. He ignored the advice of the 'Sun' and insisted on taking that step.
There is nothing eternal in the universe, so there is no point in lamenting the end of things. The most important thing is how we spend the time before the end, right?
He seems to have answered the question "sun" like this...
But is it really just a simulated sun? Why is it no different in size from the real sun?
The man didn't know, after all, at first he had imagined that a planet the size of the Earth would be enough.
However, my whole body seemed to be burning like the sun, and my breathing was like a flame of thousands of degrees flowing through my body.
As much information as the sun could handle was transmitted into the man's body as he was about to move, his brain completely absorbed the messages.
The man let the energy burst out and jumped straight out of the sun. How many seconds passed before he simply turned into a flying existence in the universe?
Maybe one second, maybe dozens of seconds, maybe time has no meaning to him anymore.
Favia opened her eyes extremely quickly.
Judging from the speed of mimicry, it would actually take at least millions of years just for the eyelids to open.
Humans have a different concept of time from the 'sun', and live in different times and places. The sun, as a star, will not correctly understand the actions of humans on Earth, or its understanding may be too biased towards correctness, which will deviate greatly from humans.
Its size is equivalent to the sun in the current solar system, even though there is only one person in the mimicry.
Logically speaking, this scale is different from that of humans. Values and cognition are changing. This is natural. Its performance has long had the cognitive ability to transcend time and space.
However, Favia, wearing a leopard mask, smiled, as if he hadn't seen it for a long time, so comfortable -
"I am the Sun, the Sun of many."
The oasis eroded by the desert will eventually return, the clear water is just hidden.
That is why this 'sun' does not hang high in the sky like the real sun, but walks on the earth and looks at the world.
At this moment, the fragment of the sun that has successfully woven the sun after enduring the long years of billion years stands on the boundless earth, mimicking the strongest individual on the sun or equivalent to the real sun.
Sun UO——Favia Tonatiuh.
A dream that can only be realized by oneself, filled with hope for an infinite future, an eternal sun, and the protection of people.
Although it is a mimicry, it is the mimicry of the sun that only exists by itself, but it has spent billion years with the desire to become the apex of the sun, and it has awakened as the representative and apex of the sun.
It is the endless light that continues to illuminate the path ahead of the endless planets, the boundless light that fully illuminates all worlds, and the shining light that was born for the decisive battle with the cosmic creature Oort that landed on Earth from the distant Oort Cloud 6600 million years ago.
.......
It was a dark, moonless night, at the end of a month after the ritual death of the water monster Hipparchus.
The black-haired girl was waiting, because that person would definitely pass by here.
She stood there in the pitch-black night, doing nothing.
The girl actually didn't hate waiting, especially since everything on this earth was very familiar to her.
Perhaps, this is the feeling of waiting for someone. After all, during the waiting period, you can expect that someone will come.
This is actually very good and beautiful.
So, after waiting, the girl finally met that person.
The man recognized her figure and stopped in the darkness.
"Tlaloc."
Favia moved slightly closer and called her name, his tone without surprise, as if he had already anticipated her arrival at Moon Lake.
This was understandable, because he had the spiritual vein structure of the Moon Lake in his body, so he could sense the location and aura of the girl who was the incarnation of the Moon Lake very clearly. The same was true for Tlaloc, otherwise he would not have been waiting here specifically.
"I have sent Bawan Xi back as you said. She is sleeping well. It was you who did it."
"Thank you so much."
"I'm glad you're thanking me..." Tlaloc narrowed his eyes fiercely, "I don't understand what you're doing. I've already asked Sokoyotsin, Bartolomé, and Geronimo why you left like this. Is there something you can't tell me?"
The girl's heart was filled with unquenchable anger. After Favia suddenly made the move to become UO and disappeared that day, she asked these people.
It turned out that they all seemed to have expected this. When I asked, I found out that Favia had already told them in advance -
They all said, he said he would be back.
I can't understand what this is.
"Favia, why don't you answer me? You can talk to other people nicely, but why can't you talk to me? Didn't you say you don't hate me?"
"I don't hate you, Tlaloc."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter whether you hate me or not. I don't understand. It's really no wonder. I've become the fifth sun recognized by everyone, and I've killed the water monster Hipparchus. Now I can only deal with the Spaniards who are coming. It doesn't matter whether I perish or not. Why why—"
The annoyed black-haired girl grabbed half of the leopard mask on Favia's face, and the man allowed her to remove it to reveal the remaining half of his face.
".....You, why is your face so expressionless? Did you use my brother's power in the battle with Shipacre? In other words, Shipacre is not dead, but was just transferred to the future by you..." She lowered her eyes with guilt, "I'm sorry."
Favia's face, half of which was covered by the leopard mask, has turned into suspended obsidian fragments. This is the price of using the power of the Black Sun of the First Sun.
"No, I have indeed killed Shipaktri. It has not been transferred to the future by me."
The man still held his head high and chest out, took the leopard mask from his hand, put it on again, and continued speaking.
"ORT has awakened. I transferred it to a month later."
As the girl of Moon Lake, she knew what Ort he was talking about.
Of course, that is an alien creature that fell in South America before Christ. Even the South American gods consider it the most terrifying thing. It is a strong and incredible life form with a hard, soft, hot, and cold skin. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its body and can transform the matter it touches into crystal. It is a giant spider-shaped alien creature.
Humans are an existence that even the gods of the Age of Gods cannot rival.
However, such an existence has awakened now, even when the Age of Gods is declining.
These words alone were enough to make Tlaloc understand why Favia did everything he did.
That’s why the girl asked the question that everyone would ask after learning about this situation -
"Why, Oort wakes up now......"
Why now?
If it were in the past, there would be no need to suffer, because the world had been destroyed and there was no possibility of rebirth.
If it is in the future, there is no need to suffer, because it is a disaster that will happen in the future and there is no need to worry about it now.
But it happened right now, so we had to witness the horrific act of that terrifying thing destroying everything.
"It's because of me."
"...No, it's not your fault. If Ort wakes up, it's destined. It won't stop because of your arrival or absence. Okay, okay, I understand. After all, with your personality, there's nothing you can do about it. You insist on being the fifth sun, so you want to take it all on yourself, but, but——"
Tlaloc said, looking up and looking directly at Favia, noticing the unshakable steel will in the man's eyes.
I have to do it no matter what, because it is the Fifth Sun. Yes, it is because of the Sun that I am so determined.
I believe that there will not be any shadow on the determination in my heart.
Tlaloc understood, understood very well, but she could hardly accept it.
".......You are the sun, that's right...You also said that the reason why the sun is great is that it shines on all the dust, that's also true..."
She knew it was useless, but she still shouted in protest with a trembling throat.
"But that's Ort. You will die like this, too. We all will. It's meaningless..."
"No, it makes sense to me."
Favia smiled softly, he raised his head, and in a blink of an eye the two of them appeared outside a house.
"Tlaloc, go and see inside the house."
Hearing this, the black-haired girl raised her head and realized that this was a house in Tenochtitlan, which was extremely far away from where she was waiting. She also saw the scene inside the house -
“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow…”
It was the cry of a newborn baby.
"My child, my child..."
The cheers of a father and the gentle gaze of a mother.
The baby comes into this mysterious world amid cheers, and then cries as he looks at his parents' smiling faces. For this life born into the world, the cheers and warmth are like a small bright lamp that illuminates the unclear road ahead. As parents, their hearts must be filled with joy and happiness when facing the arrival of their child.
As a father, a man will shoulder the responsibility for the family, and as a mother, a woman will silently watch what the man sacrifices for her. The actions of both will gradually be reflected in each other's pupils, and the spark of love will also shine.
For both of them, their children are proof that they have lived.
"Have you thought about a name?"
The mother asked gently.
"I have thought about this. Lord Favia likes to give names to everyone. That name sounds nice. I plan to use that one."
"But, there are too many people using it..."
"It doesn't matter, because that is the pronunciation of courage that the great 'Sun' bestows upon all of us and blesses us all throughout our lives—"
The man said,
"Kuauhtemoc."
"Indeed, it is a good name, my child, Cuauhtémoc..."
The woman murmured softly.
