Who is the main god for Daoism?

There is not a main god in Daoism (Taoism).

The core of Daoism is, of course, Dao ( the Way), which is beyond description. It is said that Dao is the origin of the universe, the basis of all existing things, the law governing their development and change, and the ultimate force of Daoism.

The concept of Virtue (De) is closely related to Dao. Dao De Jing relates,“All respect Dao yet value Virtue.” Virtue has different connotations. One common explanation is that Virtue is the specific manifestation of Dao in specific things.

Daoism is a philosophical system described and compiled first by Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu in manuscripts advocating a simple honest life and noninterference with the course of natural events, but characterized by a pantheism of many gods.

The roots of Taoism and the concept of Tao, are, however, lost among the animist traditions of ancient China and before. Daoism has many lines, including esoteric Daoism with practices of alchemy , divination and magic.

Why did motecuhzoma welcome Cortes to the Aztec empire?

He believed Cortéz was a descendant of the alleged leader who brought his people to Mexico. Allegedly the leader left the people after bringing them to Mexico, and when he came back to them, they would not recognise him as their leader, and he left again.

Therefore the people believed that his descendants one day would come back and rule them once again.

When Cortéz and his men came with weapons, clothes and bigger ships than they had ever seen, they believed Cortéz was him.

Were did the Aztecs come from?

This is the second answer-I can't stand people just writing "asdjfkharh;sdsdsd." The Aztecs came from Asia, crossing the Bering Strait and settling eventually in Latin America, after some wandering around as they were defeated, being weak. They greatly respected some other strong tribes and adopted the feathered-serpent god as their own. Eventually they were exiled to an island called Tenochtitlan, where they settled because of an old legend. They expanded the island by making floating islands, called chinampas, which are still used today. The Aztecs conquered lands around them and became very strong and respected/feared. It's lucky I'm having a unit on this :). (Probably I didn't have to say all that but the basic answer is this-Asia.)
