Chapter 663 Return
After wiping out the monotheistic kingdom of God, the remnants of monotheism on the earth were like grasshoppers in autumn, unable to jump for a few more days.

However, when Richard destroyed the monotheistic kingdom, he discovered that the savior was not in the kingdom. Obviously, the monotheistic religion should have given up its current beliefs and wanted to make a comeback with the savior as its new belief.

Richard did not care too much about this. After giving up his belief in the Creator, he died again and lost a lot of his origin. He was born with defects, so even if he rebuilt his faith, it would be at most at the level of weak divine power.

If He honestly develops according to the laws of the empire, He may still survive. If He dares to violate them, He will probably be destroyed soon. With a church of this strength, any of the Roman gods can deal with Him.

When monotheism was strong, Richard needed to support polytheism to fight against it, but when monotheism was destroyed, polytheism has become the only dominant religion.

Richard knew very well what the Roman gods did when they were the only ones in power. They were extravagant, wanton, and hedonistic. How many bad things did they do?

The extravagant and debauched lifestyle of the upper class of the Roman Empire was partly due to the Roman gods, but of course it was more because human beings themselves like to be extravagant and debauched.

It is precisely because of this behavior that polytheism has been crushed by monotheism in all aspects, from missionary work to believers and doctrines.

Now that Richard has pulled them out of the abyss, he doesn’t want them to continue on their old path.

Richard and Athena discussed and established a set of divine laws for the gods, and by the way, they condensed a priesthood of law, and all gods were subject to the constraints of divine laws.

Just like the heavenly rules of ancient Dongda.

Now that the Roman Empire is orthodox, then the Roman gods are also orthodox, and the divine laws established by Richard and Athena are orthodox. If you want to preach in the Roman Empire, you must abide by them.

At the same time, the Pantheon in Rome would be reorganized into an institution similar to the heavenly court, in which not only the Roman gods would be included, but also religions that had sufficient influence in the Roman Empire would join.

Richard not only imposed divine law restrictions on the Roman gods, but also prepared to support gods from other religions to fight against them.

Of course, this confrontation is not the kind of irreconcilable contradiction between monotheism and polytheism, but more like a kind of healthy competition between each other.

After all, it is not a good thing for one company to dominate the market. Competition can make them alert at all times. At the same time, Richard’s behavior is also affecting the people around him. And the people around him are also affecting others.

Richard is very different from the people of this era, especially in his attitude towards gods. On the one hand, his power is strong and not weaker than that of gods. On the other hand, it comes from his previous habits.

In contrast, believers of this era are very devout to the gods, while Richard believes in what benefits the gods can bring to me? What can the gods help me with?
If they can’t help in any way and just sit there enjoying the incense, blood and food, then why should they be worshipped by people, and why should people believe in them?

Therefore, if you want people to believe in them, you have to do something. Just like when people seek guidance from gods, if the gods give guidance, then people will naturally believe in them, but if the gods do not give guidance, people will try another god.

If the gods are effective, then naturally there will be a lot of incense burning and an endless stream of people coming to worship them. But if the gods are not effective, then don’t blame people for not believing in them.

The present Roman Empire does not keep idle gods either.

As for preaching about entering the kingdom of God after death, or about future disasters, it is strictly forbidden to gain faith in this way. It may even be classified as a cult.

If Richard hadn’t been staying in this world for much longer, he would have planned to set a KPI for the gods in this world. If the KPI was not met, one warning would be given, two would be criticized in the Pantheon, three would be a serious warning and the god’s status would be lowered, and four would be directly abolished, the god’s status would be banned, and the god would be expelled from the Pantheon.

Richard prepared a relatively reasonable set of rules for Athena. If these polytheistic gods dare to be lazy and not preach seriously, they will soon be replaced by other gods.

From today on, the gods of the Roman Empire will begin to roll.

If you win, you will get a high position; if you lose, you will get a middle position; if you don’t roll, you will get no position at all.

After establishing all the laws of this world, Richard passed the position of emperor to his eldest son, and then left this world with his spoils.

Floating city, gate to the star world.

A powerful space fluctuation appeared, and then the Star Gate was activated.

The purple spatial force opened up the surrounding space, and a space portal appeared before his eyes. The next second, Richard’s figure appeared on the Star Gate.

“Huh, I’m finally back!” Richard stretched his body.

“Welcome back, master!” The voice of Tower Spirit also sounded at this time.

“Hill, it’s great to see you!” Richard said casually.

“Master, it is my honor to serve you!” said Talinghill.

“Not bad, you’ve learned to flatter!” Richard said in surprise. Tower spirits are intelligent creatures. Although they are constructed life forms, they will also improve as they master knowledge and learn from humans.

Of course, as for the situation where it gets out of control and becomes an out-of-control artificial intelligence life, it will not happen.

Constructed life tower spirits are much safer than artificial intelligence, but those that can learn and evolve are very rare. Richard has only seen a few of them.

“I’m not flattering, I’m just being realistic!” said Ta Ling.

“Well, it seems that you are learning and evolving very quickly.” Richard then asked, “How long has it been since I last left?”

“Master, one year and thirty-six days have passed.”

“It seems that this time travel through time and space took quite a long time!” Richard thought to himself.

“How is the construction of the floating city going now?”

“The fifth phase of the floating city project is under construction.” As Tallinghill said this, a ray of light appeared out of thin air, and then the real-time projection of the floating city appeared in front of Richard.

At this time, the main structure of the entire floating city has been completed. In the original high tower area, sixteen high towers have been built. These towers are all nine-story towers, and each tower is the residence of a legendary spellcaster.

Richard brought a large number of high elves last time, plus people he brought from other worlds, there are now nearly a hundred legendary spellcasters in the floating city.

Such a large number is very rare even in the Supreme Arcane Council. Of course, there are not many orthodox arcanists here.

There is a difference between the Grand Arcanist and the Legendary Mage. The Legendary Mage is the threshold to become a Grand Arcanist. Grand Arcanists possess more and more comprehensive knowledge.

These legendary mages still need a lot of time to make up for their mistakes. There are now sixteen towers in the tower area, which are probably built by the mages during this period of time.

Richard looked at the structures of these towers and recognized at a glance that they were all floating towers. Although they were not as large as Richard’s floating tower, they were also quite good. They were equipped with element pools, but the element furnace was still empty.

The manufacture of an elemental furnace is not an easy task. Even in the Supreme Arcane Council, this knowledge is top secret and only a great arcanist is qualified to learn it.

Richard also set a very high security level for this knowledge. If you want to learn it, you must have a high enough contribution score and permission level.

Currently, no one in the floating city is qualified to learn this knowledge.

Although no one has learned the knowledge of building the elemental furnace, many people have exchanged for the theoretical principles of the elemental furnace. This kind of knowledge is also advanced knowledge, and only legendary spellcasters are eligible to exchange it.

Of course, if you want to rely on these theoretical knowledge to learn how to build an elemental furnace, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Just like the theoretical knowledge on making hydrogen bombs and neutron bombs, there is a lot of it on the Internet and anyone can read it, but is there anyone who can make hydrogen bombs and neutron bombs based on this theoretical knowledge?
If there is someone who can do it, Richard will immediately give him the authority second only to him without saying anything. This kind of person is definitely a legendary figure who can lead an era.

Richard naturally had to win him over.

In addition to the sixteen towers in the high tower area, the biggest changes are in the residential area, commercial area and college area of ​​the floating city.

The residential area has now been transformed into villas and dormitories, while the college area has been divided into more than a dozen schools based on the classification of magic.

Originally, there were only nine schools here, but as Richard acquired other magical knowledge in the world of the universe and added to it, eventually the number of schools in the academy increased.

Of course, the school of thought in the academy does not mean that you can only specialize in one subject. Richard requires all students to learn more than a dozen subjects before becoming high-level wizards.

This is not to make them all-round mages, but to broaden their horizons and learn about various schools of thought. Eventually, they will study two or more schools of thought based on their talents.

By far, the largest number of students studying part-time are studying six schools.

After Richard brought back a large number of high elves, the teaching staff of the magic academy was greatly improved. In the past, there were only dozens of teachers in the magic academy, but now there are thousands of teachers and professors in the magic academy.

Most of these people are high elves. Those high elves who have recovered from the Naga have high magical talent. After learning a lot of knowledge, they are qualified to be teachers.

There are now about five to six thousand teachers and students in the college. Among them are not only the talented orphans adopted by Richard from all over the world, but also students of other races such as Amazons and elves.

The college area is very lively now.

Not everyone can study in the academy. Arcanists, like wizards, value knowledge and believe in equal exchange. Gaining knowledge requires paying a price.

The currency here in the academy is also contribution points.

Contribution points are required to exchange for corresponding courses, and the same is true for the library. Of course, Richard also formulated many tasks and activities to earn contribution points.

Many students study while completing various tasks.

Opposite the college area is the commercial district, which is now the most prosperous area in the entire floating city. The commercial district gathers a variety of different commodities, in addition to various magic materials or props, there are even other modern things.

In the trade zone, there are not only people from the floating city, but also people from other countries in the Marvel world. These people exchange various materials for goods here.

It can be said that the trading area of ​​the floating city has become the most important trading area in the Marvel world.

Richard opened up trade, basically wanting these countries to work for him.

He can use some magic items to exchange various resources and so on from these countries.

The floating city now has a pyramid structure, with the lowest level mages at the bottom. They provide Richard with various materials or produce various magic items through various tasks.

Richard paid with contribution points.

There are a large number of mages working in the alchemy workshop in the floating city. These mages are the most hardworking. The construction of the floating city cannot be separated from them.

Apart from this area, the construction progress of other areas will be slower. Richard then checked the demiplane again. After a year of development, the scale of the demiplane has not changed much.

The evolution of rules is also normal, but the production area in the demiplane has changed drastically. The scale of the production area has almost doubled, and the output of various magical resources has also increased significantly.

With the help of the two gods he arranged, the demiplane developed very well and has now become the most important raw material base of the floating city.

Ninety-five percent of the various magical items sold in the floating city are produced here.

In the current demiplane, the various magical beasts, dragons and various demonized plants he brought back from other worlds have basically been successfully cultivated and are growing very well.

The ecological park built by Richard at a huge expense in the demiplane allows these creatures to grow and reproduce very well.

This demiplane is not only the production base of the floating city, but also a verification of Richard’s own rules.

He was using various laws to change this demiplane. If he wanted to master the laws of creation, he had to create a complete world.

This world can be small and simple, but it must be able to operate and develop rationally and have its own set of rules.

It is very difficult to do this.

Every improvement of the demiplane is a verification of Richard’s own power, rules, and domain. Now it is no longer accurate to call this world a demiplane.

Although this world is very small compared to other worlds, it is indeed growing. When the rules of this world are perfected, Richard will be promoted to the creator.

This is the correct path for the Creator to be promoted. Simply relying on believers to shout slogans and use various prayers and sacrificial mantras to consolidate the Creator’s priesthood and domain is simply a dream.

Even if it is really condensed, it is just like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water, just for show.
