By this time, Yahweh's faith was well established in the Roman Empire.

Of course, it's still heretical.

The belief of the Roman Empire is still based on the Greek mythological system, but those gods are given a Roman name, such as the Greek mythological god of war Ares, who became the Roman god of war Mars, the patron saint of the city of Rome, in Roman mythology, the original founder of Rome The pair of brothers is his son, second only to Zeus in the worship of the gods of the Romans, Jupiter, all consuls must raise the holy spear symbolizing Mars before the start of all wars, and after the triumph must also worship Mars.

That's why Yang Feng came to wear the Aries holy clothes and pretended to be Ares.

But now, with the conquest of the Roman Empire, a large number of heretical beliefs have also poured into the city, the most representative of which is the Yahweh faith.

Yahweh has been spreading for one hundred and fifty years.

Although this belief is still not legal until 260 AD, it was not declared legal until 260 AD, the Milan Amnesty in 313 recognized the freedom of religion in the Roman Empire, in 380 Theodosius I decreed that other beliefs were forbidden to worship Yahweh, and twelve years later officially declared all other beliefs illegal, Yahweh became the state religion of the Roman Empire, completely replacing the original Roman mythological system.

It's a long process.

During this period, the treatment of Yahweh believers depended entirely on the emperor, ignoring them, showing understanding to them, and persecuting them, even such as Nero, Diocletian, etc., who attacked them with extremely cruel methods, but these still could not prevent their development and growth, after all, monotheistic religions are usually more powerful than polytheistic religions.

In addition, it must be admitted that many of the Yahweh believers of this era still show their charm, and those saints of this era are obviously more popular than the paper-obsessed parliamentarians.

The people who believe in Yawei are all the poorest at the bottom.

A mere refusal to recognize slavery is enough to represent its advanced nature, and the European Middle Ages were indeed dark and ignorant, but this should not be used to exaggerate how bright the Roman era, especially the imperial age, was, and what was the brightness of the era of indiscriminate and bloody entertainment? No matter how brilliantly the city of Rome was built, it could not hide the fact that the empire was only the pinnacle of slavery, and the prosperity of a city supported by the vast imperial wealth of the Mediterranean Sea as an inland lake could not represent the prosperity of the entire Roman Empire. The prosperity of spending more than 200 days in a year on public money and then increasing taxes to the provinces and magistrates preferring to abandon their posts and run away has nothing to do with the vast majority of the people of the empire.

Later generations can indeed marvel at the grandeur of the Colosseum, after all, they did not live in this era and did not need to pay for the revelry of the Romans, but for the entire people of the Roman Empire in this era, the Colosseum and the city it represented......

In fact, it is a cancer.

A cancer that sucks their blood, but does not give them any benefit.

This is no different from the East.

Just as behind the beauty of the Qingming Shanghe Diagram was the peasant rebellions of the Great Song Empire, and behind the glory of the Roman city was the hunger and cold of the entire empire.

It was the people of Rome who finally chose Yahweh.

The emperors of the Roman Empire did not eliminate it for more than 300 years, and even finally could only choose to cooperate with it, and then the Roman Empire was able to continue, even if the empire had been divided, even if the Roman Empire had become East and West Rome, even if the Western Rome was gone, only Eastern Rome remained, but the banner of the Roman Empire still stood until 1453. In fact, the co-rule of Diocletian's four emperors already represented the end of the unified Roman Empire, although Constantine was briefly integrated by force, but then fell apart again with his death, and the reason why he was able to clean up the broken mountains and rivers for a short time was because he had the support of Yahweh's followers, and it was he who announced the Amnesty of Milan.

The cooperation with Yahweh was an effort by Roman politicians to preserve the empire, and if it were not for Yahweh, the empire would have been completely dead, and how could the name continue more than a thousand years later.

The medieval Yahweh was indeed terrible, but they were still an inevitable choice in this era.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng.

His Majesty the Emperor is here to pretend to be a force, by the way to create some civil strife in the Roman Empire, he will definitely not let the European people fall into the darkness of the Middle Ages, he will let the light from the east shine on this ancient land in advance, but before that, he has to clear the main obstacle in the future, Yahweh will definitely become an obstacle for the light of the East to shine on the West.

Of course, he will not allow Yahwa to exist while conquering the West in the future.

The latter can only be an obstacle for him.

So why not let the Romans kill a wave for themselves first? Could it be that they can clean Yawei and be able to thrive? This is impossible, they cleaned Yahweh and caused the empire to fall apart in advance, especially Caracalla has just laid the foundation for him, you must know that at this time, Yahweh's believers have already spread all over Rome, according to archaeological findings, even the most distant Britain at this time, after the Milan pardon, when the Yahweh believers first assembled, there were actually three bishops in the province of Britain, all of them were so poor that they didn't even have enough money for the journey.

It can be said that the believers of Yahweh are all over the empire.

It would be strange if there was no chaos in such a situation when a purge for the purpose of purity of the faith was carried out, and although the emperors and local officials of the Roman Empire sometimes cleaned them up, it was always in moderation.

And Yang Feng wants to promote a thorough purge.

"Pantheon!"

He floated in front of the granite pillars of the Pantheon and spread his arms, and then roared like a madman: "Gods of Olympia, look at what your believers look like now, this is Rome, this is the city favored by the gods, the city that is falling, the city that is going to destruction, maybe we should withdraw our favor for it and let a heavenly fire bury it completely, just as Pompey was buried in the first place." ”

Around him, all the Romans cried and worshipped.

"We should give them a chance to atone for their sins."

With a gentle voice that appeared out of thin air, a beautiful figure appeared beside him out of thin air, wearing a white robe, holding an exaggerated scepter in her hand, smiling and looking around like Nuo Lan who was emitting holy light.

Athena's appearance sends the surroundings into a frenzy.

Although she is not really mortal, but just a phantom, which can also be seen by the surrounding Romans, but her voice must be true, of course, the Romans will not know that this voice has been recorded by Yang Feng a long time ago, and it is impossible to build even a tape recorder with his strength. And then with the reflection of the human shape and ice crystals simulated with color particles, an ethereal and emitting holy light Athena stood beside Yang Feng, and showed the demeanor of the Olympian gods to the Roman people with him, but Zeus or something will definitely not appear, and it is enough to have Ares and Athena.

"Opportunity? We have given them enough opportunities, and under our protection, Rome has turned from a city into a vast empire, conquering countless lands, but what have they given us in return? It's heresy, it's blasphemers everywhere, it's the depravity of faith, no one believes in their gods, xie evil heretical false gods are sought after, they don't need God's favor anymore, all they need is a flame of heavenly punishment! ”

Yang Feng roared.

"Great Ares, please give us a chance! We are willing to atone for our sins. ”

A senator said tremblingly.

Behind him, the senators, the generals of the army, and the heads of the great families pleaded that Ares meant to bring a Pompey-like destruction to Rome, and that the wrath of the gods should be appeased at any time, and whatever the gods wanted.

"Atonement? How to atone for sins? ”

Yang Feng shouted majestically.

"Great Ares, we ......"

The councilor couldn't go on, to put it bluntly, their sacrifices, building temples and the like are definitely useless, and it is estimated that the contribution of gold is enough, in fact, he understands very well that those are fooling mortals, and the real gods will definitely not look down on them.

He looked at Athena with a pleading gaze.

Apparently hoping that Athena would give him some hints on what would calm Ares' anger, Athena was clearly here to help them.

"Ares, we should give them a little time to atone for their sins, after all, they are your people, they used to serve the gods devoutly, but we haven't been here for too long so they have gone astray, we should let them clean up their own country, purify the faith of the people, and stop ignoring the erosion of those heretics."

Athena said.

"Yes, we will, we'll clean up those heretics immediately!"

The councillor said without hesitation.

"What about the rulers of the empire?"

Yang Feng asked.

"The Führer fought against the infidels in the East."

The councillor said.

At this time, they were actually the head of state, and the first citizen was the supreme ruler of the empire, but in fact, like the emperor, the senate was for the elderly at this time.

Not quite, though.

After all, behind them were the great families of Rome.

"Tell him that you need a sheng war now, a sheng war of pure faith, no matter what you do, even if you burn the heretics to ashes, you must completely cleanse Rome of filth, I will give you ten years, and I will come back in ten years, if Rome has not really changed at that time, if this kingdom is still full of heretical believers, and if the splendor of the Pantheon is still tarnished, then I will destroy the city, and I will show you what the wrath of the gods is, the pestilence, the fire, the flood, the tsunami, Earthquakes, I will make all kinds of disasters come to Rome without stopping, I will turn Rome into a second Pompey! ”

Yang Feng roared viciously.
