"Try it, maybe I can help you~" Zach's suggestion was not sincere. If you recall the situation of Maitreya and Zach, you will know that Zach has never helped this person meet the requirement of "fulfillment in life" idea, but it always helped him achieve his goal inexplicably.
Therefore, Zach should know more about Zach's proposal and what is happening in the city of Barton.
"You can't help."
Uh... Maitreya was more direct, smiled at Zach, and stopped paying attention to Zach.
This matter could have gone over like this, but Brier might be bored. "He is worried that more and more aliens are coming to the Republic illegally, and the resources at his disposal can no longer meet the needs of those aliens."
"Sounds like a good thing." Zach commented casually, "Business is sufficient."
"It's not enough, it's overflow~~" Brier seemed happy because he said a 'high-end' word, "In the past, he provided good people who smuggled into the Republic and lived in the Federation~ Now, he He is a villain who refuses the possibility of most smuggled aliens to live in the Federation~"
Zach tilted his head, and after thinking about this logic for a while, he realized that the number of aliens from the former Republic who came to the Federation was limited, and Maitreya's work in the Ancestors Office could well meet the needs of these stowaways. But the current situation is obviously that supply exceeds demand. Maitreya simply cannot satisfy every republican alien who comes to the Federation and arrange life for them, so he can only say no to those people.
Are your life experiences perfect, huh
"There have been a lot of aliens coming from the Republic recently." Zach asked Briar.
"Hmm~"
"It's because of the Republic..." Zach returned to Maitreya. After a short period of communication with Briar, Zach could still control it. However, over time, Zach was afraid of being led astray, so it was better to find the right owner, "Is it a vaccine?" The environment of the Republic is getting worse and worse for the foreign races native to the Republic."
Maitreya is Lizak after all, and this trouble seems to be real. Maitreya started to sigh before he even raised his head, "Not only that, I heard those aliens who came to the Federation talking about how the road to 'Ascension to Immortality' has been closed because there are no offerings. The environment in the Republic is not bad, but it is no longer tolerated." Everyone.”
New words. Judging from the meaning of the word, Zach can understand that this expression is very similar to the Federation's 'go to heaven', right? But for the Republic's 'Ascension to Immortality', it should refer to the elves and ghosts becoming real gods and entering the world where the Republic's gods and goddesses live, the heaven. It has nothing to do with the human soul, a completely republican belief system.
Zach got it right.
Maitreya raised his head and looked at Zach, "The meaning of the Republic's government has been very clear. If you have other places to go, Republic is not your home."
Zach didn't understand this sentence, "What do you mean?"
"The Republic must develop." Maitreya said with a bitter look on his face, "For the Republic of the land and the life on that land to have a better life."
Zach didn't hear anything wrong yet, "Sounds good."
"No!" Maitreya suddenly became excited, "This is not 'good'! Our culture is that everything will be born. The existence of this life at this moment is for the last 'thing' that is born, whether it is an elf, a ghost, or even the last thing that is born. Immortal? No matter what it is, life at the moment is just a cocoon used for cultivation!"
Zach could feel that this topic touched on some of Maitreya's principles and was not suitable for being forceful, so to understand what the other party meant, Zach needed to use his brain.
After thinking for a moment, "It sounds like you mean that the Republic does not need to develop because..." Zach frowned. Just some time ago, Zach was still lamenting that the Republic has its own local god, which is much better than the Federation. , but now? "The life you live in the moment is not important."
"Yes! It's just not important! What's important is the one who was born last..."
"Wait a minute." Zach interrupted Maitreya. He had to interrupt, "Aren't you important?" Zach looked at Maitreya, yes, looked at Maitreya.
"Me?" Maitreya was stunned for a moment when he was interrupted, and now he was stunned again when he was asked, "No! I'm not important! At least it's not important now! I will only be important when I am really born in the future!"
"Because when the time comes, you will become a god with the concept of 'completeness of life's encounters'." Zach continued to look at Maitreya.
"right!"
Zach nodded, understanding what Maitreya meant. Without making any comments, he lowered his head and calmly advanced Maitreya's expression: "The life before becoming a god is not important." Zach tilted his head, "That is, the tens of millions of human lives currently living in the Republic."
"Of course it's not important!" Maitreya said with great certainty, "Compared with the God who is the supreme principle of heaven and earth, a whole life that is nothing is nothing!"
Zach continued to lower his head. This was a polite gesture. Zach didn't want Miroku to see his eyes rolling to the back of his head. "So for these, uh, 'whole' quality of life." Zach took it. Maitreya's wording, "The republican government has given up on 'gods', is it really unreasonable?" Pay attention to Zach's tone.
"Yes! It's unreasonable! Why do we need to improve the living standards of citizens? Why improve the quality of citizens? Why..." Maitreya was almost always put "why" in front of the advantages of a country's prosperity, as if this was unreasonable. "Why?! To make us true seekers homeless for the sake of those lives that don't matter at all!"
Zach was a gentleman and pushed forward gently, "Well, strictly speaking, you 'beings seeking the truth'..." Zach continued to use Maitreya's terminology, "You don't regard the Republic as your home, right? It has become God, you will go to that heaven, that is your world." Zach was a little confused now, and he didn't know if he was mocking: "All of them represent the world where the gods live in the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth." Really. Zach finally experienced the culture shock, a little late.
And Maitreya has completely fallen into his own... Haha, in the devil's barrier. "Yes! Isn't this what I just said? The republican government has made its attitude clear! It has chosen some unimportant citizens! It no longer provides life for us seekers. space."
Zach nodded, and finally controlled his expression. He was calm, "There is nothing wrong with a republican government. A republic is a country, a human country, and its first priority should be its human citizens. It's not like you who don't care about the country's wealth and strength, and sooner or later Yes, um, a 'god' who has ascended to another world." Zach finally maintained his Toledo-style precision, "Are you blaming the wrong person for your troubles? The Republic has been developing for thousands of years. History has given you the opportunity to be born, and it is already kind. How to go in the future? Shouldn't you ask the 'god' who you think is your home and the most reasonable one? In turn, complain about an unimportant human country , isn’t it a bit childish?”
Maitreya looked at Zach, the excitement on his face... and then he regained his composure, but, "We need a place to grow into gods. If we are not in the Republic, tell me where we can go."
Zach opened his mouth, and Sam in his eyes took the lead and walked out of Zach's body, "It's not the Federation anyway. The Federation is also a country. It's not an intermediate station that needs to please you! Find your own world!"
Then, a ball of black fire surrounded Maitreya.
In the end, the fire and the people disappeared together.
Three seconds later, Sam said to Zach, "He's possessed."
Zach asked three questions, one: "What does it mean to be possessed?" Two: "How do you know?" Three, "Sam, why do you want to stimulate Maitreya?? I almost explained the truth to him clearly..."
"When I was at Jian (West)'s place, I heard a lot of knowledge about the republic and alien races, but you should know that she doesn't like me and won't explain it to me. I can't explain it clearly either. You go ask her. "The last question, "I am still a wizard at heart. I hate all souls who don't take their own world seriously and want to go to another world. It's a matter of principle! Moreover, Zach, you can't convince him. He thinks he It is the supreme principle of heaven and earth, you are just a vampire among countless unimportant lives in this world!"
oh.
