Chapter 151: History of the Holy See

In ancient times, the various ethnic groups lived together, lived a life of wool and blood, and there were some wars from time to time. Because of their weak individual strength, the human race has a very low status in the wars of various races, and is bullied and slaughtered by all races from time to time. At that time, the major races were divided into three classes, the first was the higher race, the second was the middle race, and the third class was the lower race. There is a huge difference in status between the three ranks, and even members of high-level races do not need to pay compensation for killing members of lower-level races, let alone pay for their lives. At that time, the human race belonged to the lower race.

Until one day, the messenger of the heavenly gods descended on the continent, and happened to descend on the territory of the human race. At that time, the human race was ignorant, thinking that the enemy was coming, and they took up arms to besiege the oracle, but they were defeated by the oracle. The god made magnanimity ignore their deeds and still live in the human race. He lived for more than 500 years, and during these 500 years, the Divine Envoy taught a lot of knowledge to the human race, including cultivation.

At first, other races also discovered the oracle, and in order to prevent the Terran from becoming stronger, they sent troops to attack the Terrans. But under the leadership of the oracle, the Terrans defeated the coalition of the tribes. Although the Terrans suffered heavy losses in that battle, everyone was happy because they won! ”

After that, the Terrans made great progress, and under the guidance of the oracles, the Terrans learned to build cities and defenses, and learned to forge weapons. And during those centuries, the Terran tribes recommended a powerful tribe to establish a state for the royal family, called the Roman Empire. At the same time, there were many saint-level masters in the human race, and even one of them reached the god level. You must know that at that time, there were not many saint levels in the entire continent, and there were only two god levels, both of which were high-level races.

After hundreds of years of development, the human race has become the third higher race in the continent, and the other two are the beast race and the feather race. At that time, the sea tribe and the mainland race were not closely related, so they were not counted among the mainland races, but were called extraterritorial. There is also the dragon race, the dragon race is strong, but the number is very small, so it is not a high-level race, but the status is not lower than that of a high-level race.

Hundreds of years passed, and the oracle suddenly told the Terrans that he felt the call of God and was leaving. Before leaving, he instructed his disciples to establish a holy church and believe in God.

Under the Holy See, there is a Holy Legion for foreign wars, with a total of 100,000 legions, one legion commander and nine deputy legion commanders; the Inquisition, which deals with heretics and apostasy, has a presiding judge, five vice-presiding judges, and a number of judges; The Missionary Council, which preaches doctrine, has a Speaker, nine Vice-Speakers, and a number of members; The twelve cardinal archbishops who assist the Pope in his affairs, and all the bishops of the regions under his jurisdiction; The 12 signs of the Apologists, who are in charge of the duties of the Apologists, have a total of 12 heads; There are also casual ascetics, the number of whom is unknown.

"His Holiness the Pope leads the whole Church, assisted by the twelve cardinals, and the departments coordinate with each other."

John said with pride on his face, talking about the former glory of the Holy See, he couldn't help but blush, as if he had seen the grand scene of the past.

Lin Han pursed his lips disdainfully, and secretly complained in his heart, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year! No matter how bullish the Holy See is, it has finally declined, and now even the vast majority of people do not know that such an organization once existed.

Ruohan is also an old monster who has lived for countless years, and he still knows people's hearts very well, and he knows what Lin Han thinks when he sees his expression. However, the Holy See has indeed declined, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, his voice was full of desolation, and he said:

"In the middle and late stages of ancient times, the Holy See has always been in charge of the beliefs of the human race, even if there are other human races who believe in other gods, but the number is insignificant compared to the Holy See. In the middle and late stages of ancient times, the Sea Clan, who had been living in the boundless sea, suddenly landed on the mainland, and because of its strong strength and unknown number of members, the Sea Clan became the fourth high-level race.

At the same time, they also brought some new belief gods to the various ethnic groups on the mainland, such as the sea god Poseidon and the water god working together, gradually, there are more and more gods of various beliefs on the mainland, such as a series of gods such as the earth god Houtu, the fire god Zhurong, and the gods and the demon gods of the hell clan appeared, so far, the human race has entered the era of faith explosion, this era is called the ancient era, also known as the age of the gods! ”

"In antiquity, race was no longer the dominant force, and religion was in control of the races. Because of the difference in beliefs, there were frictions and disputes between religions, which eventually led to wars. It can be said that in antiquity, racial wars were rare, but religious wars were frequent. Because the Holy See developed early, its strength was the strongest among the religions, and because my god was the god king who controlled the heavenly realm, many religions were headed by the Holy See, especially the beasts and demonic beasts who believed in the beast god at that time. ”

"Orcs and Warcraft?"

Lin Han looked at Ruohan in surprise and said, "Are you sure it's the beast clan and the demonic beast that are now incompatible with the human race?" ”

John nodded affirmatively, then said:

"According to the oracle, the Beast God was once my god's most loyal subordinate, but he was captured in a battle between Heaven and Hell, and later degenerated into a demon god. Therefore, the beasts and monsters are hunted down by our sect, and it is the duty of my sect to kill all the hellish clans! ”

Lin Han looked at this murderous god stick and was speechless for a while, the brainwashing ability of religion is really powerful, and a master with unfathomable strength has been brainwashed so thoroughly.

Ruohan also felt that he was a little too excited, and when he saw Lin Han's speechless expression, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his old face turned red. But after all, he was an old monster who had lived for countless years, and his face was still quite thick, and he coughed lightly and continued to tell the history of the Holy See.

At the end of the ancient era, the Venerable Pope suddenly received an oracle from the heavenly realm, saying that about 20,000 people of the Holy See would have a catastrophe, and after 30,000 years, the people of the Mandate of Heaven would help the Holy See prosper again. And tell us that this person will appear in the northeast!

When the pope received the oracle, he immediately sealed it and restricted it to the twelve cardinals. Ten thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye, and because of the frequent religious wars, the overall strength of the mainland has not only not improved, but has decreased a lot. As a result, the religions decided to gradually withdraw from the mainland dispute and instead develop behind the scenes. The continent began to enter a period of steady development, and since then the continent has entered the Age of Magic. ”

In the age of magic, due to the absence of war, the various races prospered, and the study of magic and fighting spirit also made great progress, especially magic, and magicians became the objects of cultivation among all races. Thousands of years after entering the Age of Magic, the entire continent was calm, but the entire Holy See began to run wildly, because it had been nearly 20,000 years since the last oracle, and the Great Tribulation was about to appear!
