TED-Ed: Kay Almere Read: The Aztec myth of the unlikeliest sun god

The transcript narrates the myth of the Fifth Sun's creation. After four previous worlds were destroyed, Quetzalcoatl retrieved bones from the underworld to create new life. Nanahuatl, chosen for his humility, sacrificed himself to become the Fifth Sun. Tecciztecatl, chosen for his wealth, failed to show courage and became the dim moon. The sun initially did not move, requiring the gods' blood sacrifice to set it in motion, establishing the Fifth Age.

What was the reaction of the other gods when Nanahuatl asked for their blood?

How did the sun begin to move through the sky after the sacrifices were made?
