Then Quetzalcoatl made Tlaloc's sister, the water goddess Chalchihuitlicue, She Who Wears a Green Stone Skirt, the Sun. Thus began the era of the Fourth Sun, which lasted 312 years.
Tezcatlipoca made sure that the rain did not stop. It rained for many days and the land was flooded. The water carried away plants, animals and people. Those people who survived turned into fish. Thus ended the era of the Fourth Sun. This happened in the fourth year of Water (4 Atl).
It rained so hard that the sky fell to the ground. The earth could fall apart at any moment. Then the four main gods gathered again to raise the sky. Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl turned into large trees, and the other gods helped them put the sky in its place.
Four times the gods tried to create humanity, and four times the world was destroyed due to the enmity between Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl. It was cold and dark again and there was no sun
