So instead he makes a bet with Tezcatlipoca: he will find a human, 'the lowest of the low', and crown him his champion so he will close the gates before the equinox, when Tezcatlipoca will kill off humanity. To these ends, Quetzalcoatl decides to close the gates to the underworld, but can't due to said gates being made of obsidian, which is toxic against the gods.
