Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1613 - 78: Crossing the Boundary of Life

The Sixth Era, Year 1283, Echo Year.

Federation Songstress 'Netherworld River Lanark' Jian Xin'er disappeared unexpectedly during a conflict. The official explanation did not provide detailed information about the conflict, only saying that the songstress took a stand against the Federation's policy, which ultimately led to many casualties from the collapse of an underground building.

However, this is just the official narrative. Among the local population of the Black Lion Star Domain, they saw strange and seemingly illusory crowns. On the day it happened, many people claimed to hear the songstress's voice in their dreams and saw many familiar faces who had long passed away.

Of course, this story only circulated locally; for the Federation as a whole, it was like a small ripple that quickly vanished.

For most residents of the Federation, now is an era of fervent change. Since Prin unified the Federation, the dramatic changes, although caused several major corporations to fall and disband, have given more opportunities for people at the grassroots to rise. Numerous construction projects require vast amounts of personnel and resources, putting the entire society's economy and resources in a state of high-speed circulation and constant appreciation.

In such a blazing and turbulent state, minor growing pains are quickly forgiven and overlooked by the public, who then focus attention on where to work, settle, and plan for the future.

...

Time passed unconsciously, and five years went by.

Sigma Mechanical Council, T-2831 Residential Star.

"Today is the wedding celebration of the two newcomers. Let us congratulate and wish them happiness and prosperity in their future lives~" The traditional and inspiring blessing was recited by the host, and then the couple walked out together amidst applause and expectant eyes.

"To be honest, seeing humanity and mechanical life forms getting married, no matter how many times I witness it, it still feels a bit unreal," a clapping guest conversed with a friend.

"Who would have thought, when we followed Lord Tiran here, that life would turn out like this?"

"The difference between humans and mechanical life forms is not only in the material constitution of their bodies but also in ethical and philosophical differences. No matter how you look at it, such a marriage is a very bold and adventurous attempt."

"How things will ultimately develop, no one knows. We can only see what kind of lives these pioneers will lead now."

After the applause ceased, the two newlyweds stood fully on stage, with the groom still a bit nervous and anxious. After all, he could never have dreamed of such a peculiar wedding, but now, he had come to terms with it and was mentally prepared.

"Still nervous, Ze?" his new bride, wearing a beautiful wedding dress, asked quietly beside him as they held hands.

"A little," Ze took a deep breath, finding it hard to meet Valerian's gaze.

As a High-Rank Mechanical Life, Valerian's physical appearance was almost indistinguishable from a human's, with snowy white and soft skin, a similar weight, and even the same body temperature, making it hard to differentiate. Furthermore, as his partner, her character was a bit too good. She could adjust her daily behavior and small gestures according to Ze's preferences and moods, making it just a matter of time before Ze fell for her.

Ze was certainly aware of Valerian's changes over the years, from a somewhat indifferent superior to a wife who was gentle with a hint of teasing temptation, making it increasingly difficult to ignore the gaze by his side.

The rational lines he once insisted upon were gradually broken by instinct and emotion. He began to understand his neighbor's brothers, started planning for their future life—what kind of house they would live in, what style of furniture to buy, and what happy and enjoyable activities to engage in daily.

In some respects, it turns out mechanical life forms are even more suited as partners than ordinary humans.

Their appearance has no obvious flaws, always young and beautiful. She could change her behavior style to fit your habits and personality, making your lives perfectly harmonious. She always cares about everything about you, your status akin to a background process she never ignores.

In addition, mechanical life forms have no urge or need to cheat. To them, it is an incomprehensible act that interferes with current tasks. In terms of loyalty, mechanical life forms provide immense peace of mind.

With such a partner who perfectly matches your aesthetic, harmonizes with your life, enjoys your company, and will never betray you, what else is there to worry about?

"That may be so, but there are still quite a few issues in ethics and philosophy," a guest at the scene quietly discussed.

"If we regard mechanical life as equivalent beings to humans, can she become a mother? If she becomes a mother, the humans who are her children must recognize mechanical life as a mother and accept their governance and education."

"Furthermore, after a partner passes away, how should she be arranged? Is she allowed to remarry or must remain single until life's end, and so on."

"Human society's morals can't be completely applied to mechanical life forms. Society still needs to continually adjust and adapt."

"But it can be foreseen that in the future, the majority of humans will choose mechanical life as their life partners, because compared to ordinary humans, mechanical life has far too many advantages, and morality and ethics alone can't constrain or hinder this choice."

As the wedding vows were made, the noise below gradually quieted, and all eyes focused on the stage.
