Everything about the beginning of the universal superpower known as the Empire was shrouded in darkness. For as long as people remembered, the Empire was already the only form of ultimate power and authority. The Emperor, the one standing at the top, never had to prove anything as to why he was at the pinnacle of this Empire.
Indeed, those who tried to dig up what was buried in the past might have existed at some point, but no one even heard about them. They never existed as far as those who lived present were concerned.
However, one of the reasons why the Empire could continue to tighten its control over the world was undoubtedly the existence of the Holy Church. A religious organization that had billions of believers.
