Chapter 795 The confrontation between the two

"The fifth fleet of the Federation has set sail. They will arrive at the border and be ready." The news media reported the current situation of the Federation.

Because of the ownership of the 'Eternal Covenant of Lorenxia', the Rose Federation and the Sigma Mechanical Council began to have friction and conflict, and gradually tore the cracks.

Seeing that the conflict was getting more and more intense, someone finally came out to mediate and stop the war that was about to break out. Who else can mediate the two powerful galactic regimes now? That is.

"Welcome, Lady Heshia Tilan."

On the starship, a group of people bent over to greet the black-haired girl who had just landed.

"Let's go, take me to see Pulin." Tilan thought about how to stop the old friend who was in high spirits.

Following the guidance of the maid in dark red uniform, Tilan walked through the overly spacious passage in the starship. This kind of emptiness in the space age often makes humans feel insignificant and more likely to cause loneliness.

Half an hour later, Tilan saw Pulin who came to greet her. She was standing alone in a huge flat space, with a floor screen under her feet that served as the Federation star map.

Although the sound of the soles of her shoes stepping on the floor was slight, it was particularly clear in this extremely quiet room. This was the second time the two had met in a year. They had not been apart for long, but the unfamiliarity between them was far greater than before.

When she came to three meters in front of Pulin, Tilan stood still, and the hem of her gorgeous dress above her ankle stopped fluttering and hung down, decorating the girl with a dignified elegance and a hint of youthful purity and beauty.

"Your style of dressing is different now." Pulin moved her gaze away from Tilan, which had been staring for a long time, and looked at the huge star map in front of the two.

"This is a map of the Milky Way, and the majority of the red area is the Federation." You can see the Milky Way starry sea with a silver-blue background, divided into four main spiral arms and two secondary spiral arms, and the Rose Federation occupies most of it.

"What do you feel when you see such a map?" Pulin asked the girl not far away.

"It's magnificent, but also feels empty and lonely." Tilan answered.

"My feeling is, why not fill the entire star map with red?" Pulin said as a matter of course.

"Just like when I was a kid playing graffiti, fill the gaps between the grids to make it a beautiful solid color grid."

"People have this instinct, the instinct to fill in the gaps." Pulin continued to narrate.

"I know you are here to dissuade me, but why should I stop? I really can't find a reason for you to stop me." Pulin continued to narrate.

"Because the covenant cannot fulfill your wish." Tilan answered directly.

"As a promise between 'Loranxia' and humans, she is not the kind of person who will listen to your wishes as long as you pray. She is more likely to be annoyed and indifferent. If you rashly use the covenant to start communication with the god, the result will be unpredictable and extremely dangerous." Tilan advised.

After listening, Pulin smiled and lifted her hair with her hand.

"You are still as cautious as before, and you always look at everything with pessimism, but this pessimism is sometimes understood as gentleness."

"In fact, you never had hope for anyone from the beginning, right, Tilan."

"You don't believe that the reform of the existing system can produce results. You believe that the inferiority of human beings will be exposed sooner or later and eventually degenerate."

"But, although you are extremely pessimistic rationally, there is a kindness in your character that you can never give up, which prevents you from expressing this cruel pessimism."

"You tolerate me time and time again, not necessarily because you hope that I can really find a way out and break your previous assumptions."

"You have set countless constraints for yourself, always avoiding facing your true self, so that you put your hopes in the distant future."

"Future, wow, what a beautiful word, containing countless hopes and possibilities."

"I am a very pragmatic person, and I realized this very late." Pulin flicked the sparks on his fingertips, causing them to explode in the air, becoming a huge fireball with a diameter of ten meters, quietly burning and spinning in the air.

The hot wind was flowing, the firelight illuminated the faces of the two people, and the airflow caused their hair and skirts to flutter.

"When I was young, I didn't understand why I liked things that were passionate and exciting, so I made it a hobby." Pulin closed her eyes and spread her hands. The fireball in the air was getting bigger and bigger, and the bright light almost submerged her figure in the white light.

"Later... I discovered..."

"Actually, I'm just like you, afraid of the coming of a certain future."

"We all grew up in Four Leaf Crystal, and we all realize what a slowly aging and withered society will look like if we don't change. Although living conditions have not declined, people have lost their illusions and motivation for the future, like zombies who haven't yet entered the grave."

"In order to fight against this slowly approaching coldness, I eagerly let myself burn, get intense, and run. Even though I don't know what the road ahead will be like, I think as long as I keep moving forward, it will definitely be a good thing."

"You're different. You never allow yourself to be a gambler, to do things that are uncertain, may make mistakes, and bring harm. You don't want to hurt others, nor do you want to affect others because of yourself, so you have always insisted on restraining your influence and just being an observer and recorder in the dark."

"In this regard, you and the Star Children are really similar. Perhaps you would be better partners."

"But is this really useful?"

"Just like an ecological niche in nature, if you don't occupy it, someone else will take it. Do they really do better than you? Or worse, more stupid."

"You don't want to hurt others, so you don't allow yourself to do wrong things. The final result is that because of your concession, more incompetent people will come to power." Pulin opened her eyes and stretched her hand into the air. The huge burning fireball immediately shattered and turned into thousands of sparks falling down, which was particularly beautiful and gorgeous.

"So, do I want to do the same wrong thing as you?" Tilan shook her head.

"Yes, I do have a pessimistic view of human nature, and I don't like gambling. When I don't know what to do, I will stop."

"But this is not a sin. It's just that I haven't found a better way to achieve it. I can't succumb to reality and do something that is completely inconsistent with my heart just because I can't do it temporarily."

Regarding the problem of personality, Tilan has long seen herself clearly and has no knot in her heart. She will not be shaken by Pulin's judgment. Both of them are currently singers in the Sunday stage and no longer have spiritual weaknesses.

The second negotiation between the two is still a stalemate. No one can convince the other. Such a result has long been expected by both of them.

"Then I'll be frank. I won't stop unless you hand over the covenant." Pulin responded at the end of the conversation.

"But you also know that the consequences of opening the covenant are extremely dangerous and uncontrollable." Tilan questioned.

"What the result is, that's my choice. You are not qualified to judge for me, Tilan."

"But it's not just you who will bear the consequences, but also the human civilization of the entire galaxy." The girl closed her eyes and answered, which is why she wanted to dissuade Pulin.

"So what? Are you going to make a questionnaire to ask every resident of the Federation whether they are willing to take back the covenant? If you want such an answer, I can have people start preparing immediately." Such a thing is easy for the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction that has controlled the Federation for nearly 20 years.

"You can't convince me, Tilan." Pulin showed a mocking smile, and his eyes were like looking down at the black-haired girl in front of him.

"I really can't convince you." The girl turned her head.

"But you can't convince the Sigma Mechanical Council. They won't hand over the covenant to you."

So the negotiations came to a deadlock and stagnated for several weeks. There was no progress. The Fifth Fleet's route of advance also stopped at the border area of ​​the Federation - Hanging Stone Star Region.

Pulin was very arrogant, but she finally stopped in front of the red line of starting a full-scale war between humans and mechanical life.

Everything has a price, and it cannot be covered up by a victory in words. At this time, she also understood that if she wanted the Sigma Mechanical Council to peacefully hand over the covenant, she could only let the girl who had a special relationship with her and was now very popular in the Sigma Mechanical Council take action.

"It seems that our previous discussions and arguments are far from over." Pulin summoned Tilan again.

"A verbal battle cannot determine the winner, but facts are often more convincing, so-"

Let's go to the ground this time." The ground that Pulin said was the residential planet of this remote star region where the fleet was stationed-'Wind Erosion'.
