Chapter 1158: To miss home and the people in it (1)

Of course, Azief doing this is not because he felt responsible but because of Katarina. 

But, after knowing the people of this world, if he still remains heartless, then he is not quite human.

Before, he could care less about what happen to this world. 

But once you know the people in it, even though you would not sacrifice everything for them, you would still have some empathy and since it is not something that is hard for him to do, why not help them?

Both and he and Katarina is doing the best they can. 

A perfect world where everyone understands each other, at least in this world, could not be realized.

Azief and Katarina himself did not know what a perfect world would look like. One could say Earth has developed to a high level.

And after the Fall, the advancement become even faster.

But even then, this did not mean the problem are all solved. 

There are still social issues, and while there is rarely lack of resources in the new world after the Fall, the problems that plaguing Earth right now is threat from otherworldly invasions and the people inside Earth itself.

And while Azief tries to make sure that the racism between the three races not reach a boiling point, racism on Earth itself is not entirely eradicated. 

While Earth has eliminated most of racism tendencies, it only happens because there are other races outside of Earth to hate.

And only with the deconstruction of nations and kingdoms, free from the megacorporation influence, that such sentiment like patriotism and nationalism has been able to crumble and the World Government could push out the slogan that We Are All Humans. 

That is one of the slogans of the World Government other than the One Government, One World slogan

Azief remembers he makes fun of that slogan. 

Most of the other politician from the other world power also sometimes makes fun of that slogan. 

But that slogan does attract a lot of people to the World Government

People might hate that the World Government but no one denied that they were instrumental in the early days of the Fall to concentrate the effort of humanity to fight against the disaster

Freedom and individuality is good. But it is a united civilization that push the progress of the era. 

In the history of mankind, while an individual could change the world, it needs the entire civilization to progress it forward.

It needs everyone to change for change to happen. A revolutionary idea could not be realized if no one wanted to adopt it. 

In the beginning some people like that nations crumble, and the old order is torn down. But that is only for a while. 

But an anarchist world is not a world that everybody wanted to live in. It sounds good in theory, but not all people like it.

While the old nations and kingdom had been deconstructed, the world powers rise and it is more of the same. 

Of course unlike the nation in the past most of the world power wanted to attract people to them instead of pushing them away.

And the people of the world have the freedom to choose which world power that they wanted to serve. 

And if they don’t want to, the world is vast and anyone under the Heaven, with enough power and strength could go strike it out in the big and vast Universe.

Since he is ready to leave, there is many thought in his mind. 

And he had to put some measures in place before he could leave this world with his heart at peace 

he believes that for a few decades after they left, this world would be mostly free of conflicts. But sooner or later, something would happen. 

And then the living beings in this planet have to learn to rise above it. 

Adversity builds characters. It is the same for worlds. Azief would like to just wave his hand and solve all problems.

But when it comes to living beings, it is not that simple. 

The people of this world, after he and Katrina go back home would be bestowed with some knowledge of the modern world. 

But just because Azief and Katarina gave them some modern knowledge did not mean that these people would suddenly become an enlightened living being.

Many of them are still have the mentality of a medieval person. 

Even now, after month of trying to say that they are not gods, they are still thought of as some deities or divine being by the three races

They did not understand many of the concepts of science or magic. after all, development usually did not leap from medieval era to spacefaring era in the time span of months.

That takes thousand if not tens of thousands of years.

It is one of the many reason why Azief and Katarina uses the native slave in this world and put them in the government, occupying important position. 

Of course, Azief could also see that this might be a point of contention later. But the conflict would not break out until a few decades. 

This period of founding is still full of vitality. Everyone is still trying to adapt to this brave new world. 

‘I should really talk to this with Katarina. This is her task. And it is good for her. She could stack up some experience so that when she got back she would not be oppressed by Jean charisma and ingenuity in the field of politics.’ he mutters to himself. 

Jean is not a threat to Katarina. 

But sometimes these things are not in their hands. 

Jean probably have no intention of usurping Katarina position. 

While Azief could not say that he is close friend with Jean he does know that Jean after he had given up his desire to conquer Europe he become a changed man.

But the same could not be said about Jean subordinate and Boris subordinate. 

Katarina subordinate is her White Maidens, a group of woman warrior dressed in white that protects and exercise Katarina will

They are a little bit like the Shadow Guards only that the Shadow Guards is basically CIA, KGB and the Gestapo combined.

Katarina formation of the White Maidens is simply a whim. She saves a lot of abused children but she could not just save them and then leave them. 

For the girls she saved, she created the White Maidens and teaches them her swordsmanship. There are some methods she could pass down. 

Azief could also do it but he rarely does such a thing

For the men, she sent them to her brother.

Before Azief went to the Seresian world, he had been reading the reports and knows that even though Jean was on the hill maintaining the portals between the worlds, his influence in the Senate had increased.

Most of the time, the proposal by the Left faction of the Senate is blocked by the Right faction. 

But since Jean become a Divine Comprehension leveler, the momentum of the Left is overwhelming.

Jean himself is not a master politician. But, he does know how to play the game. And the only reason he did not is because he was not that interested in the supreme power of the Republic.

But even if he did not have such ambition if the people below him wanted to clothes him with the Emperor clothes, even he would find it difficult to resist.

The problem lies in the fact that even though Katarina is the High Chancellor she rarely even shows her face in the Senate. 

To some people, her position as the High Chancellor is merely because she is the strongest woman in the world and her relation with him.

The Republic did not have many allies. 

But because of the relationship between Katarina and him, the world believes that if there ever was a time where the Republic is being attacked, pandemonium would stand on the side of the Republic. 

She did not play politics. 

Azief himself did not play politics. But, his situation and her situation is different. He had many capable helpers that is loyal to him

Wang Jian for example is very loyal to him. 

Shinji is also the same. 

As for Sasha, in the past she might not have been that loyal to him, but after almost a decade serving him, she and him have an understanding.

Unless he is truly in such a dire strait, many of his subordinate would not betray him. 

And since he is tied up onto pandemonium, if he falls, Pandemonium falls and as Pandemonium falls, the benefits of millions of people that is tied up on him will also crumble

So, many of them would gladly fight for him. 

So, Azief believe that at least trying to govern the people of this world would serve as an experience so that she knows what she needs to do when she returns home
