The correct answer is Origin Myth.

Explanation:

The Aztecs had several creation myths, the result of the integration of different cultures. In one of them, Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl realize that the gods feel empty and need company. That is why they need to create the earth. There was only one immense sea, where the earth monster lived. To attract him, Tezcatlipoca offers his foot as bait and the monster comes out and eats it. Before it can be submerged, the two gods take it, stretch it to give the earth its shape. Their eyes become lagoons, their tears in rivers, their holes in caves. After that, they give him the gift of vegetation to comfort his pain. And later they were given the task of creating the first men.

According to another myth known as "The legend of the fifth sun," in the beginning, everything was black, lifeless, dead. The gods met in Teotihuacan, raising the question of who would have the burden of creating the world, for which one of them would have to throw himself into a bonfire. Two of them were selected as victims for that purpose.

However, the strongest and most vigorous, when throwing himself at the stake, recoils before the fire; so the second, a small god, humble and poor (used as a metaphor for the Aztec people about their origins), throws himself without hesitation into the fire, becoming the Sun. Seeing this, the first god, feeling courage, decides to throw at the stake, becoming the moon.
