She is a cry...
Chapter 777 The Bird That Fell from the Branches with a Deep Blue Color
"So, things have already developed to this point."
Sitting on the small balcony decorated with vines, Tilan was wearing a white dress, and the hair on the side of her ears was covered by the emerald green beside her. It was like sitting in the environment of the forest. On the inside of the balcony, Dolores stood on one side, flipping through the mainstream opinions and intelligence that had been sorted out recently, and read them to Tilan.
Facing the current rumors circulating in the Federation, she was not too surprised, as if this was all within her expectations.
With one hand gently going behind her head and arranging her hair, Tilan leaned lightly on the wooden chair, thinking about what happened during her absence.
She had been mentally prepared and expected for the arrival of this day. It should be said that since she learned from Filuselin that her life experience was special, she thought that there might be a day in the future that would cause controversy.
If it were before, she would probably be a little panicked, afraid of being denied and rejected by everyone, losing everything she had, etc., but now, she has gradually stopped caring about these things.
"Just deny it." She combed her hair in front of the small mirror on the table, imitating her mother Gu Yongrong's past dress, rolled up part of her hair, braided it into a classic hairstyle, and then inserted a hairpin.
"Don't care?" Dolores was a little puzzled.
"Yes, don't care about it. Whoever wants to believe it can believe it. Let them relax the control of speech in the southern star region."
"But this will affect your reputation and legitimacy." Dolores's suggestion was not firm. Perhaps the girl in front of her was too calm, which made her doubt whether her previous worries were necessary.
"It will have an impact." Tilan put down one hand and did the final grooming in front of the mirror with the other hand.
"Then what, they don't recognize me and drive me out of the Federation?" Tilan said the worst possible situation.
"If that happens, how do you think I will deal with it?" Tilan suddenly wanted to tease Dolores.
"Probably bring people to teach these guys a lesson." Dolores crossed one hand over her chest, holding the recording board, and touched her chin with the other finger.
"No, I will just leave." Tilan blinked.
"This..." Dolores was a little confused about what Tilan was planning.
"It's hard to explain the specific reasons to you. You just need to understand that I don't care much about the framework of the Federation now."
"Why must I agree with their views and rules? Besides, a forced melon is not sweet." Tilan shook her head.
Everything has two sides. If she wants the title of Federation Song Diva, she must be subject to the various jurisdictions and rules of the Federation Song Diva. For ordinary people, the benefits brought by this title are huge, and the little constraints paid are completely unnecessary.
But it's different for her. Now she doesn't need the title of Song Diva to support her. Even after giving it up, she can get rid of the various constraints established by the Rose Federation.
Sooner or later, she will break all the established things of the Federation. Instead of being cursed at that time for receiving the favor of the Federation and then coming to smash the pot, it is more convenient to break away now.
The dark sun, the sacred sun, and the golden sun are just names used to distinguish between enemies and friends. These are the products of the struggle in the fifth era. Now she can break away from the old framework to depict the future she wants.
Perhaps a long time ago, she had thought about becoming the third generation of the Federation's color-level singer to change the current corrupt situation, but as her cognition and experience grew, she became less and less optimistic about this kind of reform behavior that did not cure the root cause.
Even if she succeeded, she would only be the second Aimuralin, allowing the Federation to live a relatively stable and upward time for 200 years, and then fall again and reincarnate.
In the final analysis, when Isanissa founded the Federation, she was actually forced to build a framework in a festering world to frame the fragile civilization system and leave various constraints to prevent returning to the old path of the Fifth Era. As for how humans should go in the future and in which direction, she no longer cares so much.
This temporary framework played a huge role in the early Sixth Era, but now it is no longer applicable.
It cannot satisfy people's urgent need for a better life, and can only continue to wander on the old path. In terms of avant-garde and boldness, the current Federation is not as good as the major human factions in the Twilight Age, let alone developing new theories and changes.
In the following months, the southern star region's comments about Tilan intensified, and the girl at the center of the storm never responded, which made some forces gradually bolder.
In order to gain recognition from the central star region and to gain benefits that are now difficult to harvest by selling out the current southern star region, a small number of people began to incite the people to protest against Tilan and began to fabricate more exaggerated remarks and facts.
...
Finally, half a year later, a protest was launched in the southern star region, involving 16 star regions, 21 inhabited planets, and nearly one million people, hoping that Heshia would step down and the Golden Flame Flower Cathedral would deprive the girl of her title of singer.
Although it sounds like a big force, considering the trillion-dollar population of the southern star region, the protesting group may not even be one ten-thousandth, and many of them are young people who join in the fun and think that such behavior is "cool", and there may not even be 100,000 people who really agree with the idea.
As a singer, Tilan is indeed controversial at present, but as the leader of the 'Emerald Dragon' in the southern star region, her actual achievements cannot be ignored. During this period, she has driven the development of countless industries and has countless followers. This kind of mosquito-bitten protest can never solve it.
However, to everyone's surprise, after this protest, Tilan really came out to respond, and the result of the response exceeded everyone's imagination.
"I know some people don't like me, but fortunately, there are more people who support me and believe in our cause." Standing on the podium, the girl was wearing a simple black off-shoulder dress with only a blue and a gold flower on her right shoulder.
"I know that this is an extremely difficult time. The Federation needs to change. We need to develop a different path, a path that breaks many old frameworks."
"I understand that this is not the time to give up. I should bear the pressure with a more determined will and shoulder everyone's expectations."
"But." She paused and her eyes slowly swept over everyone present.
"I don't want to continue with this ambiguous and embarrassing identity."
"Since I am not 'complete' enough to become a diva in accordance with the Federation's tradition, I have no choice but to give up this title and identity."
"Also to avoid suspicion, I will give up all the positions and powers that I have obtained as a singer in the past, in response to this notice." After
she said this, there was an uproar in the audience. Not only were the people in the southern star region extremely shocked, but even the factions and forces in the central star region were puzzled. Originally, many people were waiting for Tilan to break the rule of 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' and change the situation. Now, she gave up so easily.
The whole incident was like a farce, but the girl really fulfilled her words with her actions. She resigned from the position of leader of the Emerald Dragon and negotiated with Pulin Koko again.
About a month later, the Federation announced that it would peacefully take over the Southern and Western Star Regions. As a condition and agreement, it would not persecute people who had opposed the central faction, and would not make major policy changes in the next five years. The turnover rate of personnel positions should not exceed 10% per year.
In this unpredictable situation, the Federation miraculously unified again, realizing the revival pattern that many people dared not hope for.
The technology owned by the Emerald Dragon and the Brilliant Stars will gradually be popularized in various star regions of the Federation in the next 20 years, used to open up the world in the sky and on the ground, and improve the living environment of the entire Federation residents.
It can be predicted that in the next few decades, the Federation will usher in a period of rapid economic revitalization and development, until the current technological innovation is completely over and enters a period of stability again.
A few months after the incident, some people began to analyze the cause of such a wonderful result, and finally a generally accepted view was analyzed.
That is, as two singers from the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, Pulin and Tilan, the personal relationship between the two may be far better than the outside world imagines. This high degree of trust made this seemingly impossible peace talk reach a smooth handover in a short period of time.
In addition, although the two have different ideas and styles, there is no irreconcilable conflict. Some people speculate that the success of this peace talk may be that Tilan finally gave up the idea she had insisted on before and let Pulin go her way.
...
Leaving the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region and the Southern Star Region, Tilan did not accept Pulin's invitation to go to the Central Star Region, but took a small number of core followers to the distant Sigma Mechanical Council.
On the long-distance starship, Tilan slept peacefully in her exclusive bedroom. It is rare to have a leisure life without being busy with various affairs.
In this way, with her gentle breathing, time passed slowly.
Six hours later, the sound of ding-dong music sounded, and the girl, who looked like a high school student, stretched out her snow-white arms like a work of art from under the quilt, turned off the alarm clock, and then opened the quilt after a while, shook her dark blue hair, and sat up.
Walking barefoot on the soft carpet, Tilan opened the curtains on one side of the room, where she could see the bright galaxy outside. The starship was in a buffer period and had not entered the superluminal navigation state.
"It's time for dinner now." Tilan looked at the time on the terminal on the side, which was exactly two minutes after 18:00 in the evening.
She looked at the thin nightgown on her body, thinking that it would be a bit bad to go to the restaurant like this, so she went to the cloakroom, picked out a set of suits from the hundreds of suits that were like exhibition racks, and then walked out of the room.
The corridor was spacious, and even driving was no problem. Tilan met many accompanying personnel along the way.
"Good evening, Your Highness Tilan." Two attendants in white uniforms with silver edges saluted. They were elite personnel absorbed by the Qiyehua Star Cluster in the later stages, and each of them was around Sequence 7.
In response, Tilan nodded and told them not to be so reserved. Then she continued forward and met three vampire maids walking together. They followed Tilan wherever she went and were now doing some auxiliary work on the starship.
"Lady Tilan~" They greeted the girl in a relaxed and polite manner, and then introduced the restaurant's menu tonight to Tilan.
"The windmill ice cream tastes very good, sweet but not greasy, and has a little vanilla cold fragrance."
"There is also a special method of grilling the big red fish, which is also very delicious."
It seems that they quickly adapted to life on this starship. Now that Tilan has resigned from her position, many of these vampire maids have become free.
Turning around the corridor, they came to the warmly decorated restaurant. This is one of the 27 dining spots on the starship. Because this starship was specially converted from a battleship by the 'Emerald Dragon', it can accommodate about 200,000 passengers, and the maximum may be around 600,000, but that would be very crowded and there would be insufficient food.
This time, Tilan went to the Sigma Mechanical Council and took away three remodeled battleships, with about 600,000 crew members, one-tenth of whom were the crew members on the ships, and the rest were the elite members who had always supported her.
If she had the heart, she could actually take more than ten times the number of people, but that would not be a peaceful departure.
According to estimates, she would probably stay in the Sigma Mechanical Council for 20 years to run in and explore the path of future civilization, such as the symbiosis of humans and machines, the nature of soul consciousness, the role of the flesh and body in the growth of personal spiritual character, and the establishment of new standards for social values.
20 years is definitely not enough for these topics, but Tilan estimates that in about 20 years, the Federation will face new problems. At that time, she will make a judgment whether to intervene or continue to wait for the opportunity.
"Well, that's how people are. They won't turn back until they hit the wall." Tilan's eyes passed through the metal glass on the side of the road, and the dots of stars in the distance.
"It's the same for me and the Federation. Everyone must use all their perseverance to achieve the final stability and move forward steadily."
If she stayed, even if she defeated Pulinkoko and implemented reforms, there would still be people who would wonder if the path represented by Pulinkoko would be a better choice, and finally begin to doubt everything at the moment.
There will always be fantasies and expectations for what you can't get, and there will always be reluctance and regret.
In this case, let them get it.
She is tired of arguing with people about the right and wrong of these things, and she doesn't want anyone to be entangled in this issue in the future, trying and making mistakes again and again.
So, let them do it as much as they want, and perhaps only pain can make people sober up, so that they are willing to abandon the past and embark on a new path.
She doesn't want to force others, nor does she want to be cursed as a sacrifice, because the beauty that comes by force will only make people disgusted.
The process must be correct, and the result must also be correct. Going to the future without regrets and remorse, such a sunny evening with colorful clouds is the ending she wants.
Time passes by, and everyone's heart is like a clean glass bottle, with a faint halo, simple and peaceful.
Well, the description is a bit hazy, maybe haziness makes it more like a fairy tale fantasy.
