Chapter 593 - 144: Changing Heavens (Requesting Monthly Votes~)_3
"I can tell, your feelings are complex right now."
Gu Lushen saw right through him, speaking lightly, "We both have climbed to the peak of Changye, I understand your feelings; many years ago, I felt the same. I had thought that there was nothing in this world that could make me betray my own conscience and bottom line. But later on, that ’something’ still appeared."
Zhu Wang narrowed his eyes, gazing at Gu Lushen.
"Today, you saw it too – the old fellow’s domain is called ’Infinite Scale’."
Gu Lushen said with deep meaning, "Everything in this world can be weighed, including conscience and bottom lines... So, it’s not strange for one to sell out anything, as long as the weight on the other side is sufficient. And those who have seized ultimate power, if they desire to go one step further, the price they must pay is naturally extremely heavy. In comparison, conscience and bottom line become insignificant. If there is blame, it can only be placed on the other side of the scale, for the temptation placed there is too great."
"Is that so?"
Zhu Wang spoke calmly, "Perhaps you’ve overestimated your own bottom line."
Gu Lushen raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Since we are now in the same boat... it might be better to speak frankly."
Zhu Wang said somberly, "I am different from you; at least I reached the summit of Changye on my own, while you... most likely did so by selling out your conscience. Since you’ve been doing such things for many years, how could you possibly understand me?"
