At this time, the world's global population record reached 265 million.

After three centuries of glory, the Tang Empire withered, and the Arab Empire barely supported an empty shell. In this era, both East and West Asia were in the stage of reorganization of forces and re-establishment of order. The Liao Empire, an East Asian power, was also founded at this time, although its population was less than 6 million.

In 962 AD, Otto I of Saxony was crowned emperor by the Pope in Rome, which was the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" is actually only an empty shelf - the real tradition is tightly grasped by the Byzantine Empire, which inherited the classical art and culture of Greece and Rome to a certain extent at that time, compared with the former, it is an empire with complete organizational significance.

It doesn't matter how the Romans protested against them, anyway to these Germanic people, oh. To be precise, the East Germanic peoples were able to rely on the Christian Church to establish a theocratic empire, not only to end the millennia of territorial disputes, but also to justify the Germanic peoples: they were not uncivilized barbarians.

The coronation ceremony was under the watchful eye and protection of Hado, who was of course bored with the coronation itself, but he had to intervene himself: the Christian Church was becoming less and less controlled by the Tri-Trinity Alliance and the Demon Church, and after so many years of development, secular forces began to inquire about independence from the predators. In the unfortunate circumstances of the sudden death of Pope St. Paul I, the Synod of Rome urgently ordered the Patriarch of Sicily to take office, and the new Pope St. Stephen III, in the second year of his appointment as Pope, established through the Synod that the "Bishop of Rome", that is, the Pope must be elected from among the deacons and "cardinal priests" of the Diocese of Rome. This move directly cut off the possibility of the patriarchs of other dioceses outside Rome running for the pope, but also reduced the influence of the secular on the diocese of Rome, consolidated the legitimacy and stability of the Christian church on behalf of God, and also avoided the problem that the patriarch of the diocese from other places would tilt church resources and meddle in secular affairs in his original place after becoming pope. In this way, the Roman emperor must have been satisfied with the church's reduction of secular control.

St. Stephen III's approach is not to be singled out from the point of view of "deep righteousness": he was not a deacon or a "cardinal priest" in the diocese of Rome, but in order to ensure the legitimacy of the Church, he was willing to sacrifice his own children or relatives to become pope, and this act should be praised and boasted about. But even the Tri-Commune Alliance, the de facto controller of the two churches, and Hado himself, did not discover that this Sicilian pope, whose true identity is the second in command of contemporary Shiism, Islami bin Puyid bin Lamit bin Ihan, born in Sicily, ascetic missionary in Arabia, secretly joined Shiism and was trusted by Ali Hadi, the leader of the Twelve Imams.

Since he was not suspicious of the Tri-Trinational Alliance, St. Stephen III began his plan: first, like previous popes, first replace the bishops of the neighboring dioceses around Rome, that is, the "cardinal priests", and then gradually remove the deacons of the diocese of Rome, replacing all churches with the pope's "own people". These two tricks were things that the pope would do in the past in order to facilitate daily affairs, and naturally did not arouse anyone's vigilance. As a result, by 771 A.D., with the exception of the dioceses of Albano and Ostia, the bishops of the other five "sub-Roman dioceses" had been replaced.

However, their ambition to separate the Papal States from the Tri-Trination was not immediately apparent, but it was not until nearly 300 years later, in 1059 AD, that Pope Nicholas II, in order to further ensure that the election of the head of the church was not influenced by secular forces, stipulated that the dimensional "cardinals" had the right to elect the pope, and that the other levels of cardinals and the clergy of the diocese of Rome were required to accept the chosen pope – as for the Roman emperor, he was only politely informed of the results of the election of the pope. But such a notice must have been rude to the emperor, and from this period onwards, the relationship between the Roman emperor and the pope became more and more rigid. However, it is not easy for the Tri-Tri-Nation Alliance to mediate in such a situation: first, it is still the same sentence "can't pick out the thorns", Nicholas II's practice of gathering the top talents of various dioceses near Rome is not a problem, but it is the idea that a serious believer should have; second, the great increase in the power of the Church has made the interests of the Tri-Clan Alliance fully protected, and it has also reduced the difficulty of their ability to collect and plunder, which is something they have never dared to imagine for thousands of years.

It was at this time that the manpower of those men to divide the pope and the church from within was exposed: in 1095 AD, Pope Urban II called on Western volunteers to go to the Byzantine Empire to resist the invasion of the Seljuks from Anatolia. This matter was also discussed at the Tri-Commune Council, when Urban II responded to the Byzantine Emperor Alexei I's plea for help. In this regard, the joint council considered that this was the perfect opportunity for the pope to strengthen his control over the world, and it agreed to the action of Urban II. However, with the crusades of these soldiers and knights wearing crosses, and the Pope himself often blessed and prayed for the soldiers when they were about to fight, the slogan in the Crusades gradually evolved from "For God" to "For the Pope". Even if none of the top leaders of the three joint groups were pedantic, they would still be somewhat dissatisfied with Urban II - this is not the glory of a puppet.

However, in order to ensure the victory of the First Crusade, the "very clever" of the Council of the Three Clans did not intervene, and as a result, this group of knights, who were very excited but had no structure or rules, captured Jerusalem in one fell swoop.

During this time, the Holy See reaped a great deal of wealth and gathered enough people with the ability to plunder (instead of sending them to the battlefield, they were sent to the Vatican), giving the Pope himself great power and strength, and finally having the ability to fight the three joint councils head-on, with the main dioceses, the Papal Guard, and the forces of the plundering powers, as soon as he struck out, the Trinity Alliance was defeated.
