Chapter 899 - 898: Sudden Enlightenment
Wu Wensheng paused slightly, then said coldly, "Alliance Leader Su, I think there’s something wrong with your question. All these issues you raised are hypothetical. Have you ever considered if I save this villain and he stops harming others in the future, wouldn’t I have then saved and aided a life? Moreover, if this bad person doesn’t make a mistake in the future and I didn’t save him, wouldn’t I have directly caused the death of a human being?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden roar of approval from behind, and everyone excitedly clapped their hands; Wu Wensheng’s retort was indeed brilliant.
Su Yang smiled faintly, "You truly are a great scholar, with impressive debating skills indeed. Alright, since you say my questions are incorrect because they’re all hypothetical, let’s talk about something practical. Elder, do you believe that good and evil ultimately get their rewards?"
"That’s natural!" Wu Wensheng said, "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is met with evil; it’s not that there isn’t retribution, it’s just not time yet!"
"Do you believe then, that the heavens have eyes?" Su Yang asked again.
"Of course!" Wu Wensheng exclaimed, "That’s why I repeatedly tell my descendants to do good and avoid evil. Because, after all, the heavens are watching!"
"Then do you think that the heavens will punish the wicked and reward the virtuous?"
"Absolutely!" Wu Wensheng frowned, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"If you believe these things, then it shows that you, in your heart, discern between good and evil. In your heart, you too believe that the virtuous should be rewarded and the wicked punished!" Su Yang smiled, then suddenly said coldly, "Given that this is the case, why do you speak to me of such nonsense as all men being born equal? You think that the wicked should be punished, which means from the moment a person commits evil, he can no longer be equal with others. So, what exactly is this ’equality’ you speak of?"
