Milan gazed at Gao Xin's flamboyant silhouette, finally understanding the root of her frequent ideological differences with Gao Xin.
It was that she despised war, always seeing selfishness as the root cause of all conflicts and injustices, something she wished to eradicate.

Milan no longer opposed Gao Xin's choice.
Because she realized that no matter how glorious the path of ascension was, it was a direction with no way back.
In contrast, the three great freedoms indeed offered a way back.
That was the advantage of freedom, having room for error. If one path fails, one can explore other futures, other forms of civilization.
