Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1647 - 1174: Gathering of the Tribes, Negotiations to Decide Maya’s Fate (Part 1)_2

In the eyes of many Mayan Nobles, that elongated head, serpent-like face, and sharp teeth perfectly embody their aesthetic ideals, like the incarnation of everything sacred in the world, suddenly emerging from the myths! The somewhat rough and mottled surface seems to imprint the marks of time, narrating the divinity of the distant First Era, the glory of the Mayan Golden Age!

"All Gods and Ancestors! This is the source of divinity, the Ancient Saint's Skull, a truly immortal divine object! If one can obtain this divine object and gain the divine recognition of the Ancient Saint, one would possess the qualification to rule the Lowland Maya, or even the entire Maya!"

Seeing the glimmer of the "Ancient Saint's Skull," the envoys from various tribes had emotions flickering in their eyes, their Adam's apples gulping, as their breathing became somewhat heavy. The envoys exchanged glances, with various complex calculations turning in their minds, like the multiplication tables memorized since childhood...

There was a moment of silence in the Temple, as more than a dozen elongated heads seemingly swayed slightly, attracted by the divine object. After a while, it was Huwa, the envoy of the Xiwu family of Divine Descendants, who first responded with a gloomy face.

"Heavenly Serpent Divine and Ancestor Spirit witness! This so-called Ancient Saint's Skull was forged by the Highland Barbarians! The Mayapan Royalty has been extinct for fifty years, the Kokom Family has suffered divine punishment and already completely extinct... these two ant people who appeared from nowhere are not descendants of Kokom at all, they don't have a shred of divine bloodline! Not only do they worship the Highland Evil God, but they also offend the ancient sacred, deceive all Maya tribes, and will certainly be punished by the gods to death!"

"With the Supreme Gods above! As the only Serpent Divine Descendants, the Xiu Clan will never compromise with the Highland Barbarian Tribe that killed the Serpent Divine Descendants, or with the descendants of the Volcano Demons! The Xiu Clan will fight to the death with these invading barbarians for the gods and ancestors! Any clan daring to aid these barbarians is an enemy of the Xiu Clan!"

"Ha! Sun Supreme God, Serpent Divine, Ancestor Spirit witness! We, the Mayapan Royalty, will definitely completely annihilate the vile Xiwu Clan! The Kumkom Family will forever remember the blood feud of sacking cities, exterminating tribes, and destroying the kingdom! This hatred will not be forgotten for generations, until the last male Divine Descendant of Xiwu perishes!"

Ti'aj Kin glared fiercely at the Xiu envoy Huwa, swearing an oath of not to die. His angry arm trembled while his right hand tightly grasped the Bronze Axe at his waist. Tikalo lightly patted his shoulder, signaling him to remain calm, then turned to look at the East Sea Marshal Bertade.

Bertade frowned slightly, pondering silently. It was at his insistence that the Xiwu Clan envoy was invited to this tribal meeting. In fact, the Kingdom of the Lake did not have the intention to conquer or destroy the strongest Xiwu Clan located deep in the jungle. If the Xiwu Clan were willing to yield, and set aside the hatred of the Prince's murder, not hindering the kingdom's sea route to Cuba, the rest could be negotiated.

However, the current response of the Xiwu Clan, along with the blood feud with the Kokom Clan, no longer allows for any possibility of reconciliation with the kingdom. With affairs having reached this stage, the Kokom Clan's conversion to the Chief Divine has led them to be firmly bound with the Kingdom of the Lake, even yielding the right to inherit the Mayan Kingdom legally, thus the Xiwu Clan can only be considered an enemy to be destroyed!

"Someone! Expel the Xiu envoy from the city!"

Bertade gestured, and several seaside samurai came dressed in copper armor, holding Big Axes, to expel the Xiu envoy, Xi Wu, from the temple. Huwa turned away with a sullen face, looking coldly at King Kanu the Serpent, and at the Kapul envoy Kinich, and let out a low "hum." Finally, he nodded to the Ekab Chiefdom envoy, Maya Divine Descendant Baixing from the Yixi Clan, who bowed his head in return, and Huwa then left forever.

Seeing Huwa leave, envoys from the Wei Yu Clan, Luchong Clan, and Li Tree Clan stood up to follow the Xiu envoy. These three small clans have been northern vassals of the Xiwu Clan for at least two generations, easily not betraying.

"..."

The envoy of the Wei Yu Clan, Wei Ying, was at the end of the three, his steps noticeably hesitant. After all, the Black Wolf Army's vanguard had already reached the territory of the Wei Yu Clan and had even seized several noble manors around Stone-carving City... But ultimately, Wei Ying still did not stay, choosing to leave with the Xiu envoy. Thus, the attitude of the Xi Wu, Wei Yu, Luchong, and Li Tree four clans became clear, with complete hostility and no compromise possible!

"The Xiwu Clan, located deep in the jungle, is difficult to attack. But these three small coastal clans, not knowing their place, block the kingdom's advance towards the Maya Coast..."

East Sea Marshal Bertade calmly showed murderous intent. He continued observing the reactions of various tribe envoys, especially the powerful Kapul Clan and Ekab Chiefdom. Unexpectedly, the second to stand up was the envoy from the Chel Divine Authority Tribe, the Divine Priest Amuchel.

"The gods are watching the jungle, serpent eyes distinguish truth from falsehood! This Ancient Saint's Skull is exactly the same as recorded in the epic of inheritance and should be a genuine divine object! The two leading Divine Descendants are indeed the noble remnants of the Kokom, the last Mayapan Royalty!"

Amuchel appeared solemn, first respectfully bowing to the sacred skull, then seriously offering a grand salute to Ti'aj Kin. Then, his eyes sharpened, showcasing the ultimate technique of controlling the eyes trained by Maya Divine Descendant since young. He glanced obliquely at the statue of the Chief Divine with one eye, and the other eye suspiciously at Bertade, speaking coldly.

"The temple priests of Chel Heaven Water City will never recognize the War God of the Highland Tribe as the Maya's current divine, unified with the Serpent Divine! The Ancient Saint will never descend such absurd decrees to guide the noble Mayapan Royalty to convert to any Highland Divine!"

"Esteemed Mayapan Royalty, Kokom Clan Leader, please carefully consider to awaken from the enticement of Highland Spirits and return to the right path of the Serpent Divine! As long as you return to the embrace of the Serpent Divine, the Chel Divine Kingdom will mobilize all warriors and able-bodied men to join your army, supporting the revival of Mayapan Royalty!"

"Of course, the Kokom Family and the temple priests of Heaven Water City have a sacred alliance spanning hundreds of years... Even if you are temporarily bewitched by the Highland Spirits, the shores of Chel Divine Kingdom will still open to you, and will assist your passing army!"

"The elongated heads gather divinity, serpent faces know human hearts... Honorable Ti'aj Kin K'uhul Ahau, may your offspring flourish and receive the protection of the Ancient Saint, ultimately returning to the true path of all gods!"

Having said this, Amuchel once again saluted Ti'aj Kin, glancing around, splitting his gaze like a real serpent. Then, he reluctantly looked at the shimmering Ancient Saint's Skull, sighed lightly, and strode out of the hall.
