The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 593: Transforming God

The backbone of Monotheism among the Franks was almost wiped out by Richard.

Many of those Frankish paladins were of noble birth, and many were even leaders of Frankish tribes. To preach among the Franks or Germans, they only needed to open up the high-end route, and basically the faith of a tribe would be won.

Therefore, monotheism took a high-level route among the Franks, spreading the belief of monotheism through those tribal leaders and nobles.

At the same time, the pious and qualified people among these tribal leaders will be absorbed into the church to become the backbone of the church. According to the model of monotheism, it will take at most a dozen years for all the Franks to become believers of monotheism.

Richard's war completely changed the situation.

Although the vast majority of Franks believed in monotheism, they did not do so for long and their faith was not stable.

Richard's act of allocating land to these Franks this time immediately won their support. These Franks would also subconsciously understand Richard's preferences.

Therefore, the development of monotheism was restricted here.

After several days of cleaning, the sanitation of Paris finally improved a lot, and Richard officially entered the city.

The city of Paris built by the Romans was a very small city with a population of only about five or six thousand people. Its architectural style was also Romanized, with military fortresses as the main feature.

Later, the Franks expanded on this basis, and the architectural style became much more rough. After a few days of cleaning, the streets were paved with loess again.

The great Governor of Gaul, Sir Richard, returned to his loyal Paris.

Richard stepped on the re-laid yellow soil. Behind him were Alea and a team of guard knights, as well as the Druid Priest Group of Drenos and the polytheistic temple guards.

Although Paris is a small city, its buildings are very complete.

In addition to the town hall, warehouses, churches, and central square, there is also an altar site. Since the Franks settled here, the Roman tradition has gradually disappeared, and after the arrival of monotheism, even the last trace is about to be erased.

"Seal off the temple area!"

Richard looked around and gave orders. Soon, teams of soldiers blocked the temple area in the city. As for the Monotheism, their church had been confiscated by Richard and was now moved to the outer city. The Monotheism church was converted into a library by Richard.

After occupying Gaul, Richard prepared to revive polytheism. Of course, he did not intend to establish the Pantheon directly, as that would likely arouse the vigilance of the monotheistic religions that were in the midst of internal strife.

He planned to build an altar, not to worship the Roman gods, but to the Druid gods of agriculture and hunting.

Compared with other gods, Druid beliefs are easier to spread, especially after seeing that food production can really be increased, their beliefs will become more firm.

This is also one of the reasons why Richard chose Druid.

The deity that the Druids now worship is actually a new god, a deity altered from Celtic mythology, where the Celtic gods essentially became an aspect of the gods after being absorbed and merged into the Roman gods.

Under Richard's will, the druids began to change their belief in the gods. Now the gods the druids believed in were actually a group of several remaining gods.

Now he was ready to completely unify the beliefs of the Celts in Gaul and concentrate the scattered beliefs. Only in this way could they resist monotheism.

Temple area.

Aleiya began to hold a sacrificial ceremony. This time, the sacrifice did not build a temple, but was to awaken the holy land of the gods. Let the gods condense the field of [Agriculture].

A dozen priestesses began to clean the ground and place the offerings. Wool mats were laid on the ground. The altar was also cleaned, and soon the Druids placed a shrine on the altar.

After completing all the rituals, Richard came with a team of guards.

Sonorous.

There was a sound of armor plates rubbing against each other, and two teams of fully armed soldiers appeared outside the altar. The soldiers immediately separated to the left and right and surrounded the altar.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Richard dismounted, looked at Aleiya and Dranos, and asked in a deep voice, "How are the preparations for the ceremony going?"

Aleiya nodded slightly, and Dranos said, "It's all done."

At this time, Alea was wearing a gorgeous priest robe, and Drenos was also dressed gorgeously. Behind them there were many female priests and druids.

Basically all of Richard's polytheistic priests were present.

Richard looked up at the altar and said calmly, "Let's go."

After saying that, Dang walked in first, followed by Alea and Drenos, and the rest of the priests followed behind, including Alea and Drenos. All the priests were very excited.

You know, this is the first time that polytheists have officially carried out large-scale priest activities since the closure of the Pantheon.

This time, Richard was going to change the Celtic gods. Changing the gods with human power was an act that made people feel crazy just thinking about it.

If the gods had not fallen into deep sleep at this time, this act of forcibly changing the gods would even anger the gods, but these Celtic gods either perished or fell into deep sleep, and they had no right to choose.

Now it is not them who choose humans, but Richard who chooses Him. In the altar.

The druids had already taken their positions and were chanting prayers. As they prayed, a faint light invisible to the naked eye began to appear around them.

The priestesses beside them prayed with the druids. Dranos and Alea presided over the sacrifice, and almost all of Richard's men came to this sacrifice.

With each chant, the faint lights gradually became brighter. These faint lights were the spirits of nature, dancing along with the prayers.

Richard could clearly sense a supernatural force beginning to surge, and a beautiful melody rang in his ears without him noticing.

In Richard's eyes, the entire altar had become the kingdom of God. The remaining Celtic gods began to merge and eventually converged into the image of a goddess.

However, the face of this goddess was still very blurry, but with the prayer, her features gradually became clearer.

Soon a brand new deity appeared in the divine realm.

Divine power began to gather in the shrine, and laws began to condense. After an unknown amount of time, the plants around the altar began to show vitality.

A natural force enveloped the entire altar.

'The sanctuary sacrificial site has been detected!'

'The power of law detected!'

'Nature force detected!'

A series of prompt sounds appeared in his ears. It was obvious that the gods had begun to revive and respond.

Changes also took place on the original altar. A team of druid priests offered various grains that had been prepared long ago to the altar.

Then the flames rose, and the food and grains also burned quickly, but they all disappeared in a moment. On the shrine in the center of the altar, runes representing harvest appeared, in addition to harvest, there were also farm tools and bows and arrows.

'Detected the concentration of [Agriculture] priesthood!'

'The appearance of the [Abundant] area has been detected!'

In the spirit world, a new god appeared, and the shadow of the Celtic gods could still be vaguely seen in this god. The original wild and seductive temperament turned into a feminine gentleness, but this gentleness also carried a hint of strength.

——The god of agriculture and hunting.

'The Field of Plenty begins to solidify.'

'The sanctuary begins to solidify.'

As a reformed god of agriculture and hunting, blood sacrifices were no longer necessary. In fact, before the Romans conquered the Celts, the Celtic gods were very keen on blood sacrifices.

Basically, every sacrifice required the killing of a group of slaves, and some gods even used children and girls for sacrifice.

Later, after these Celtic gods were incorporated into the Roman Pantheon, blood sacrifices were abolished and replaced by sacrifices of cattle and sheep.

Even in the early days of Rome, blood sacrifice of captives was still popular. Later, it gradually decreased. The first person to promote animal sacrifice in the Roman Empire was Athena.

Later, sacrifices were changed to offering sacrifices of cattle and sheep.

'The Sanctuary has been detected.'

'The small sanctuary site [Altar of Plenty] was born.'

[Altar of Plenty]: A sacred place for the goddess of agriculture and hunting. The divine power projected from the kingdom of God makes this place a blessed place. Performing sacrifices here can increase agricultural output in the surrounding areas, reduce pests and diseases, and natural disasters. There is a slight chance of a good harvest here, with agricultural output +3 and natural disasters -2.

(Sacrifice: Sacrifice four times a year, with sacrifices of cattle and sheep, etc., and grains can also be used as sacrifices. After the sacrifice is completed, the fertility field will last for a year. As the sacrifice lasts longer, the scope of the fertility field will also expand, and the effect will gradually improve.)
[Animal Husbandry]: The power of the goddess of agriculture and hunting makes this area more suitable for livestock growth and reduces the chance of livestock getting sick. Animal Husbandry Growth +3, Disease Resistance +2.

[Hunting Domain]: The domain power of the goddess of agriculture and hunting. Those who believe in her will gain stronger hunting abilities, and at the same time, when encountering danger in the wild, there is a slight chance of escaping danger. Bow +2, Wilderness Survival +2.

Seeing the appearance of three divine realms, Richard nodded slightly. The Celtic gods left behind quite a lot of legacy, and they actually directly condensed the power of three realms.

Richard walked forward slowly and inserted a long sword into the altar. As the sword was inserted, a golden light also shone into it.

This long sword was blessed with the power of the gods, as well as the power of various runes engraved on it by Richard. After receiving the blessing of Richard and the goddess of agriculture and hunting, this long sword also became a holy sword.

For Richard, this holy sword is of little use, and its power is not comparable to other artifacts in his hands, but in this world, it is definitely one of the most powerful holy objects.

This holy object was left to the Druids to prevent monotheism or other evil gods from making a comeback after Richard left this world.

This holy sword was created to counter the monotheistic Spear of Longinus.
