Chapter 257: Difu Li
Eventually, all the nobles were convinced, and the senators stood with the emperor and declared that they would make faith in the Lord God the state religion.
All past persecution of Christians was abolished in favor of missionary support.
The Roman Imperial machine functioned, spreading the edicts throughout the empire.
This is an ancient belief that has been in the empire for a long time, and it has long been sought after by the people at the bottom.
Because of this faith, anyone can believe, as long as the heart is pious and baptizes oneself with water, and there is no need to offer any precious sacrifices to God.
There is no miscellaneous theocracy, that is, the only and supreme Lord, and all other civilized religions are false gods, and they are only messengers of the Lord.
Simple and straightforward at a low cost...... And after death will be happy.
The last one is the most attractive, there is nothing to cross the river and cross the bridge.
Therefore, many of the slaves who could not get the response of the Roman gods in the past, and the poor ghosts who lacked sacrifices, have secretly believed in this church.
For hundreds of years, the Roman Empire was unable to completely eliminate it.
Now he simply accepted it and changed it to the state religion, and suddenly the whole empire was overjoyed, and for a time there were scenes of public baptism everywhere.
The influence of Ragnarok was minimized, and the political situation of the empire was stabilized, and even more cohesive.
However, due to the loss of the city of Rome, the center of the empire shifted eastward.
Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium and ordered the construction of a new capital.
"Your Majesty, Christians are not allowed to enslave Christians."
"Please change the state policy, Constantine I the Pious."
After the center of gravity of the empire shifted to Byzantium in the east, Athanassi petitioned the emperor.
However, despite the rapid expansion of the church's power, the emperor still held real power and sternly refused.
"Now is not the time, the empire can lose the gods, but not the slaves."
"Our population is too small, two million Romans, will disappear among forty million new citizens......"
"Abolish slavery, and my civilization will die out in an instant, and even if it continues, it will collapse, and the empire will lose its glory."
Where did Constantine not know the crux of the empire, but his civilization was too dependent on slaves.
The conquered land, with a population of 40 million, seems to be powerful, but has only 2 million citizens, and this is the Romans.
If the system is liberalized, 40 million foreigners are citizens, even if the empire is still called Rome, it can declare the real Rome doomed.
Because of the 40 million people, there are all nationalities, there is no shortage of ancient civilizations, and they have their own culture.
Despite the many cruxes of slavery, the reason why the Romans had not yet been assimilated was because of slavery.
In response, Athanassi simply solemnly said, "Your Majesty, this is what the Bible requires. ”
Constantine's face lost the piety he had shown in front of the nobles, and he looked at Athanasi playfully: "My archbishop, slaves are the source of Rome's strength. ”
"Our civilization has grown from a village to its current empire, and it is the foundation of civilization, not the Bible."
Seeing this, Athanassi frowned slightly and said, "The Lord loves the world......
Constantine said coldly: "Don't tell me this, I have accepted you as the state religion as you wish, this is to make up for the lost gods." ”
"Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar's!"
Athanassi's eyes widened: "What! ”
"Ling...... You're not religious at all, you're going to hell! ”
Constantine squinted and said, "Let's go down, I don't have much devotion to Jupiter, you expect me to believe in your Lord?" ”
"Religion is part of civilization, not the other way around. I don't care how you fight in heaven, if your Lord loses, I will not hesitate to believe in Satan. "Glory to Rome!"
Athanasi was stunned, "How can you say that! Is Satan influencing you? ”
Constantine said, "Trouble your lord, give a solution before giving a will, and I will not allow my civilization to disappear." ”
Athanassi shook his head and sneered: "Hehe, Satan is going to destroy the world, do you think you can be spared by believing in him?" ”
Constantine gritted his teeth: "If Rome is destroyed, what does the world want to do?" ”
Athanassi was speechless, and after his face changed repeatedly, he said, "So in your eyes, two million Romans are everything?" ”
"That's a pity, your population will continue to decline, and in the near future, you will not be able to have children and disappear into the forest of all races."
"What!" Constantine suddenly stood up, his hand pressed on his sword; "You're threatening me?"
Athanassi said lightly: "I am just making a prophecy, the demise of the Romans is the will of the Lord, which has long been predestined and cannot be disobeyed. ”
With that, he turned away, and the linen fluttered.
As an archbishop, in addition to mastering some divine arts, he can also get a glimpse of the general trend and make predictions.
The rise and fall of all countries and nations have a fixed number, and the so-called general trend cannot be changed.
In the east it is called the Mandate of Heaven, and in them it is the will of the Lord.
……
The underworld, or the underworld, has been largely built after ten days of rectification, and it is on the right track.
There is no miscellaneous crossing the bridge and crossing the river, and even the gate of the underworld has been renamed the Ghost Gate.
The deceased came in and went all the way to the most central city to be judged.
The judgment work is temporarily handled by the gods of the underworld, but they are busy because there is too much backlog of poor ghosts in the past.
And according to the deeds before death, there are three main results, not to mention the most heinous crimes, just throw them into the nearby horror environment and be punished.
The sentence is as short as one year, and there is no upper limit.
However, most ordinary sinners are only within ten years.
After all, the intensity of punishment in the underworld is extraordinary, and the pain of the soul is a hundred times better than the body, and it is still punished every day, the soul collapses, and the filthy soil is repaired.
Therefore, if the mortal soul is punished, let alone ten years, ten times it will be extremely repentant, and it will be washed away in one or two years.
After ten years, the soul will even become stronger because of the training, the mind will be tough and love the ordinary...... Reborn.
The second destination is the Promised Land.
In fact, it is to stay in the underworld and live in peace, there was this system in the underworld before, the authority of the Hades, and he can use filthy soil in the underworld to pinch and shape all kinds of things for the dead souls to eat and drink, but the quality of the original treatment is due to the number of funeral goods.
Luo Yan improved it a bit and distributed it according to his virtue before death.
The entire central area of the underworld is a place of quiet and elegant, pavilions and pavilions, and landscapes.
Good people can live here, enjoy the things they didn't enjoy in their lifetime, and even live with their deceased relatives.
Even if they are cultivators, the filthy earth material is useless to them, it doesn't matter, Miao Han has specially demarcated an area, both the environment and the material are the same as the human world.
There are a lot of normal human substances, exotic flowers and plants, genius treasures, and Yan slaves.
Countless harvests from the Lushan Cave Heaven, coupled with the conquest of the Roman gods, the cultivation materials of the East and the West can be said to be everything.
As long as he is not too tall, he can manage it enough, even if he consumes a lot in the future, he still has Shennong Ding.
Therefore, after the practitioner dies, he can continue to practice here, regardless of whether he cultivates immortals in the East or in the West, it is considered a top blessed land.
The third destination is retention.
Or for the ghosts, or simply resurrected, to join the Xingtian camp.
The prefecture needs a lot of manpower, such as maintaining order, such as watching the punished and punishing them regularly.
Now they don't lack fighters at all, and the original army of the undead only retains 100,000 highly qualified.
Others either live in the Promised Land or become ghosts to manage sinners.
So far, Yan Nu has also resurrected the nearly 100,000 monks who were killed in the cave and become the undead of the filthy land for trial.
Not to mention, there are really mistakes, and there are quite a few.
Not all monks participated in the persecution of the people of the mountains and seas, they read poetry and books, had a high sense of morality, and did a lot of good deeds, but in that environment, they were powerless to change anything.
As for the fight against Yan Nu, this cannot be regarded as a fault, and their three views of Shuntian and obeying the master's orders are right.
After telling them all the truth that was known, and the current situation between the anti-heaven forces and the Shuntian forces, Yan Nu gave them two paths, stay, or leave.
Most of the immortal cultivators still chose to leave, not because they still regarded Yan Nu as an evil demon, but they had to fight against him.
After all, after experiencing the catastrophe of the cave sky, and confirming that the people of the mountains and seas are really human, no matter how iron the head is, they will not dare to be the enemy.
They chose to leave, mainly because of the bond.
There are still teachers, family members, and close friends in various sects, especially close friends, and immortal cultivators are not ruthless, and most of their feelings are invested in Taoist friends.
Like-minded, similar qualifications, and cultivating as the same Taoist friends, those are truly lifelong friends.
"You...... Are you really letting us go? "Hundreds of Dao True Cultivators, standing on the clouds, looked at Yan Nu in disbelief.
Yan Nu carried the gun, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, come back next time." ”
"......" These monks are speechless, come again next time? How dare you, when they go back this time, they will say that they will pull their best friends and relatives out of this troubled water.
It is difficult for them to cultivate this point in favor of the sky, and it is even more difficult to go against the sky...... I want to survive in this great calamity.
Not to mention, the Xingtian side still upholds the ancient righteousness, why should it be mixed into this flesh and blood mill for the sake of the Heavenly Dao?
No matter how much Heaven gives, they won't do it, and Yan Nu will give less?
They have already seen that Yan Nu is now rich and invincible!
If you do that, 'next time' doesn't seem like a bad thing. As long as they don't make any big mistakes and die in this underworld, they will not die, and they will still have the opportunity to see the avenue in the future.
"Woohoo!" Some true cultivators scattered and went back to their homes.
Soon, the latest news of Yan Nu spread throughout the major sects.
The various sects that moved overseas were all dumbfounded.
After learning that the Xingtian army ran overseas and ran in reverse circles, they could be said to be worried.
I didn't even want the newly occupied mountain gate, and hid everywhere, looking forward to the return of the immortals.
Who would have thought that in just one month, Yan Nu had done great things.
Ragnarok, the underworld is born!
These two major events, no matter which one of them, shocked the cultivation world.
The Xingtian camp has become a trend!
The Roman god system, although it cannot be compared with the Central Plains, is the strongest god system overseas, and even they are connected to the pot, which shows that Yan Nu has the force of ascending to the immortal level.
At least the Scattered Immortals, that is, the Scattered Immortals, are absolutely impossible to threaten him.
Serious and true immortals, I'm afraid it's also difficult!
This is still hard power, coupled with the strangeness and horror of Yan Nu's own characteristics, even if he is an earth immortal, if he doesn't have two brushes and the ability to press the bottom of the box, I'm afraid he can't help Yan Nu.
And if you can't help him, it will make him stronger.
This growth is too outrageous, and the immortals are still on the way back, and most of them have already lost their qualifications to fight?
