Chapter 1157: For once, he stops

Separating them might look counterproductive but these races other than the elves and the dwarves rarely meet each other.

If Katarina and him force these races to integrate with each other, it might backfire. It is better to let them mingle naturally.

Of course, if Azief and Katarina is planning to stay here long, some other methods could be taken.

But since they are not, some forceful method better not be executed in fear that it would lead to instability.

There are also the slaves that is already the inhabitants of the main world and had deep understanding of the more mystical stuff.

These people are the human descendants of the slave that was taken from the slave world in the past.

Unlike the humans and elves that just newly arrived in the main world, these slave descendant, elves and human alike have great relationship with each other.

They even intermarriage with each other, creating half-elves children.

This group also forms a faction of their own and it is the faction that probably have the most moderate thinking.

To the humans that have been in Rautah all of their life, they felt that they have to safeguard the interest of human. The same for the elves and dwarves that come from Taura.

But for the slave descendants, they do not feel that the path that is about to be taken by the people of the slave world is the right one

Humans and elves could coexist with each other.

They do not have to fight against each other.

The reason why the slave descendants of elves and humans could mingle so well is because of their shared experience of pain of living as a slave.

You could whatever you want about the backward mentality and civilization of both humans and elves in those two slave worlds but they have never been a slave of the Seresian demon

While they are slavery in the world of Rautah, at least their life is not that cheap as the slave of the Seresian demon.

The shared experience of pain between the slave descendants had made them able to connect and sympathize with each other in a way that the elves and humans from Rautah and Taura could not.

And it is this moderate faction that is now promoted by Katarina. Most of them hold powerful position in the Palace.

Half elves were given titles as senators and the slave descendants are given many government post.

The reason for such appointment is simple.

Unlike the human and elves from the slave world that have never seen a Seresian demon before and see the magical arts of demons, the slave descendant is easier to teach

The concept of magic, of advanced technology, the concept of world beyond this world, planets and basic science is easy for them to grasp when compared to the people from Rautah and Taura.

Of course he and Katarina also put some measure of restrain if this faction went too far with their power.

As long as they are still here, it is easy for them to restrain them. But things would only come to a head when they leave.

That is why they decided and think about many policies that would benefit this world and hope for the best.

He shakes his head again

‘Instead of calming myself by looking at the lake, my head is filled up with all of this problem. Well, in a way it is my fault’

Azief would like to forget all of this. At least for a second. At least for a second, he wanted to stop thinking and juts blanks out.

In the past this come easy for him.

But as his Divine Sense become stronger, as his influence grows bigger and as there are more and more things and people he cares about, all of this made him always have to think.

It would be good if people would just stop bothering him and he could just live a peaceful and serene life

But when you sit on the highest throne, whether you wanted to make waves or not, people would push the water and creates waves.

And once the waves lapped, whether he likes it or not, he had to calm down the waves.

But once he moves, the world tremble and shakes and more waves would appear. He is like a titan that walk on the Earth

Whether he likes it or not, when he walks, the world trembles.

When he breathes, wind and gust formed. And when eh waves his hand, he could overturn the heavens.

And when such a titanic figure moves, ants get stepped on.

And this is the prologue of a storm.

But Azief also had the time to think what kind of life he wanted to live.

Yes, he wanted to pursue power. He wanted it because he knows how dangerous this Universe really is

The moment that the All Source landed on Earth. Earth could no longer remain in the background.

Ironically enough, it is better when Earth was not advanced.

At least at that time, otherworldly civilization did not even spare a glance to the Milky Way galaxy.

But the moment the All Source is there, all kinds of alien civilization had landed on Earth. And almost all of them are hostile to Earth

Weronian is the prime example of this. the Orvanians is neutral but people do not forget that Sithulran is quite the catastrophe.

Many people died because of her action

And she is still in the Wheel of Reincarnation and Rebirth.

Every once in a while Azief would check it just to make sure that she is still there, still in the trials, trying to find an enlightenment of her own, trying to grind down that obsession of hers.

He had come a long way from that lonely boy that was scared and timid. He had come a long way from that clown boy

Of course, there are still some scars from the past. There are things he felt guilty about. He is never a perfect person.

He makes mistakes. And some of it bigger than others. Some of the things he did requires the forgiveness of others.

Some, requires him to forgive himself. There are regrets and there are sorrows. It shaped him to be who he is today.

But he never could think too much about what he wanted when he does reach the end goal.

When he could finally have the power to protect all that is dear to him, what will he do then?

He always said and desires a serene and peaceful life.

But when he thinks about it again, he fears that when he does get such a life, he would get restless.

After all, he had long been accustomed to adventure, and he even now find joy in fighting.

He likes when he adventures to another world, to discover things about the Universe he had never discover before, to see people and meet people and trying to understand why people act the way they do.

It is only when he reaches a certain level of power that he has time to think about all of this. Thinking about his life, his happiness.

Because he had never stopped running. From the first day the All Source crashed on Earth, he had never stopped running.

because once he stops, he would get taken over.

And unlike other people, once he is taken over by someone else, with the kind of enemies that he had make, being taken over means being vulnerable.

Means he could lose the people he loves; the people he swore to protect

But in this world, he was forced to stop running.

And, he chuckles to himself, as he still looks at the lake, now that he was forced to stop running, he could take the time to look back and take a breather for a while.

But even then he could not help but stop worrying.

But all of this thoughts, these worries are important.

As for this world, since he and Katarina is about to leave, they wanted to at least secure peace to all of three races that lives inside this planet

To hope that they never fight each other is an unrealistic expectation

As long as one has free will and desire, sooner or later, conflict will erupt.

Azief and Katarina know that they could not stop this.

What they are trying to do is simply making sure that any conflict that would one day erupt would not be so disastrous that it would wipe out this planet.

Intolerance. Hatred. Racism.

These problem will undoubtedly happen

The dwarves might be able to live in peace with the Elves but the same could not be said for the humans.

And the same for the Elves.

There will be people who would be intolerant. There would be people who have hatred. And racism is not something that this world could easily solve.

Even before the human were brought to this main world, they separated themselves into nations and kingdom and the colors of their skin, the status of their birth, their perceived possession of properties and many more.

If there is something different, they would find a way to make sure that the difference is magnified and the similarities minimized.

Of course, Azief and Katarina would be very happy if these three races prove them wrong.

But there is a high probability that they would also have the same conflict like it was before in Earth prime, Azief wanted to set up policies to prevent, to make this world a good world to live in
