Chapter 540 A Turbulent World
Richard learned about the Roman and Greek gods from Mia, and the period when the gods were active was thousands of years ago.
In the beginning, it was an era when humans and gods lived together. At that time, gods walked in the world and gave birth to many sons of gods. This era was an era of mythology.
When the mythological age ends, the gods begin to return to heaven and no longer appear in the human world. It only influences the world in the form of churches and priests.
The closest era to the contact between man and God is hundreds of years ago, when the Son of the Creator of the Monotheistic Church came to walk in the world.
It was the Son of God who substituted the Monarchy into the Roman Empire.
The Roman gods were very messy. After they conquered one region after another, they incorporated various gods into the Roman gods.
The most famous of them is the integration of the Greek gods, the most special thing about the sun god Apollo, who is the Greek sun god and the Roman sun god.
Other gods were Greece integrated into Rome, such as Zeus became Jupiter. Hera incorporates Juno, Athena integrates Minerva, Aphrodite integrates Diana and so on.
After the rise of Monotheism, the Romans no longer believed in these gods, and the pantheon in the center of Rome was later transformed into a Catholic church.
Strictly speaking, the current Monotheistic Church is far from its peak. The Monotheistic Church at its peak was indeed after the demise of Rome.
Without the suppression of imperial power, the Monodiac Cult developed very rapidly and finally successfully suppressed the royal power.
In the later Middle Ages, the king had to be crowned by the pope before it was legal. Once the royal power dared to have a dispute with the pope, the pope would directly expel the king's religion.
At this time, the people ruled by the king were basically Christians. After being expelled from the church, the king became a pagan. At this time the Pope could call on Christians to oppose the rule of the pagans.
At this time, the Monodiac Cult did not have such a powerful influence, and the Monodiac Cult is not as stable as Mount Tai in this era, just like a problem they have to face.
The Huns invaded.
The powerful Han Dynasty in the East launched a hundred-year Han-Hungarian War against the Huns. Finally, after the efforts of the Han emperors of all generations, the Han Dynasty completely defeated the Huns.
Some of the Huns were forced to start moving westward. These Huns first came to Wusun and then moved to Kangju. Next, the Huns discovered that these Western nations were so easy to defeat and conquer, and the environment here was not as good as the grasslands in the north. bad.
On one side is the northern Mobei with a harsh climate and powerful Han Dynasty, and on the other side is the weak Western Regions. As long as they are normal people, they know how to choose, so the Huns began to migrate westward on a large scale.
This process lasted for about three or four hundred years, and the Huns migrated from East Asia to West Asia and entered Europe.
At this time, the Huns were actually no longer the Huns on the grasslands in the northern desert. During the migration process, these Huns gradually merged with other ethnic groups to form a new Hun tribe.
Although there are still some blood relationships, they are already far away, but some of their living customs are still very similar to those of the Huns.
These Hun Empires, which conquered a large number of nations, have become very powerful.
So the powerful Hun Empire began to invade Europe. These Huns destroyed the country of Alan at the first stop. At this time, the Roman Empire was not until a powerful Hunter empire appeared in the east.
Next, the Huns destroyed the Otgothic Kingdom established by the Germans. These Goths entered the Roman Empire. Due to the strong pressure from the Huns, the Roman Empire had to join forces with the barbarians to fight against the Huns.
But even if the two sides join forces, they are not a match for the Huns.
The Goths later rebelled against the empire and defeated the Roman emperor, took the opportunity to rob the city of Rome, and then fled west with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and wealth, entering today's Spanish region, and then reestablished a Visigothic Kingdom here.
The unlucky Roman emperor suffered heavy losses in the Visigoth rebellion, and these Visigoth rebels even burned the Roman emperor to death.
The Roman emperor's crushing defeat directly reduced the imperial deterrence to freezing point, and the provinces in various places that were originally difficult to control were basically directly autonomous. The Roman emperor had no way to govern the princes and provinces in various places.
These Hun empires are now the ones who can threaten the rule of the Monarchy. If the powerful Hun Empire really attacks desperately, European countries will not be able to stop it.
The Huns at this time did not believe in the Monotheistic religion. They had their own faith, and would not abandon their faith to believe in the gods of a country that they had perished.
Moreover, from the historical events told by Mia and Druid, Richard discovered a situation, that is, the war between humans has a great impact on the gods.
Just as the Romans defeated the Greeks, the Greek gods were merged into Rome. The same was true for the Romans conquering other nations.
Once the Huns completely defeated Rome, the gods believed in Rome must be integrated by the Huns.
The influence of gods on the earth is not very strong. After all, this is the rules of this world.
But I don't know why the Huns retreated when they were about to win.
This gave the Uni-Divine Church the opportunity, and Attila, the emperor of the Hun Empire, died quickly. The Hun Empire was originally integrated by tribal alliances and was composed of tribes one by one.
The position of the Huns emperor was not a father-son story, which led to the struggle for power and profit within the Huns after Attila's death.
All tribes wanted to compete for the emperor, but the result was that the power of the Hun Empire had dropped significantly.
There is no more power to attack Europe. Attila's sudden death was full of doubts, and Richard doubted whether the creator of this was involved.
But Richard thinks there must be some, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. From this point of view, this creator of the Universal Cult is not that strong either.
The gods use divine power to force the king of a powerful empire to die suddenly under the rules of this world. The price he needs to pay will not be small.
Richard is now preparing to use the power of the human world to influence the divine war. If he can have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Richard is very confident to sweep all the faith of these gods into the garbage dump.
Others may not be able to resist the gods' actions, but Richard is different. Although he was restricted by the rules of the world and could not use powerful divine power, it was still possible to resist the plot of those gods.
More importantly, he has now entered the human world in his original body, and the bodies of those gods have not entered, and even incarnation has not entered.
The rules of this world have great restrictions on gods. Once the incarnation comes, Richard will use a large army to surround him and kill him, which will probably be able to drop a large amount of divinity.
