"Why do you say that?"

Looking at the serious expression on Lu Changge's face, Tang Tian furrowed his brows and asked.

But Lu Changge didn't answer the question. Instead, he sighed lightly and said, "Tang Tian."

"Do you believe in retribution?"

Tang Tian took a sip of tea, contemplating the concept of retribution.

Retribution is a difficult thing to define.

Some ordinary people in the mortal world may consider it to be nonsense.

But in the cultivation world, there is a similar concept called karma.

It is a law of the heavens.

Where there is a cause, there will be an effect.

However, karma is different from retribution.

Retribution specifically refers to the backlash one receives due to their evil deeds.

Karma, on the other hand, does not distinguish between good and evil.

"For hundreds of years, Cloud Peak Heavenly Mansion has been expanding recklessly, committing countless sins that are too numerous to count."

Lu Changge said, "You can't imagine how many people curse them in secret, wishing for their collapse and descent into hell."

"But Heavenly Mansion remains ignorant and oblivious."

"If this continues, it is absolutely inevitable that they will face backlash."

In the face of Lu Changge's words, Tang Tian shook his head slightly.

"No one can avoid committing sins during rapid expansion."

"There will always be obstacles in front of you on your path, would you stop moving forward just because of these obstacles?"

"As long as there are no major issues overall."

Tang Tian said.

He felt that Lu Changge's words were somewhat naive.

Not to mention Heavenly Mansion, even he himself caused a sea of blood and made millions of people die a tragic death just for the position of the second-in-command of Qingyue Gate.

Now, saying these things, it seemed a bit hypocritical.

Lu Changge noticed Tang Tian's attitude and turned to look at him, asking, "So, do you think the expansion of Heavenly Mansion is good in terms of the so-called overall situation?"

Tang Tian roughly guessed the reason why Lu Changge said these things.

From a certain perspective, the ultimate reason for the tragic death of Zhulin Daoist was actually due to the expansion of Cloud Peak Heavenly Mansion.

He should have had such thoughts because of this.

It is impossible to judge right from wrong, but it can be said that it is somewhat narrow-minded.

"I have seen a set of data."

Tang Tian said, "Before Qingyue Gate ruled this area, it was firmly controlled by those families and major forces."

"The conflicts between different forces would result in the deaths of tens of millions of cultivators every year."

"And the harsh cultivation environment made it impossible for ordinary cultivators to have a chance to stand out. Even if they had good talent, it was difficult for them to fully display it."

"But now?"

"Under the unified management of Qingyue Gate, the cultivation environment is like heaven and earth compared to before."

"The number of lower and middle-level cultivators has increased dozens of times compared to before."

"Every year, there are hundreds of times more young cultivators than before!"

"The foundation has been laid, and the upper structure has begun to flourish. Those with talent can receive sufficient cultivation and have enough room for survival. The number of strong cultivators is also increasing."

"The entire cultivation world is thriving."

Tang Tian looked at Lu Changge and continued, "I have also been to those areas that have not yet been brought under the influence of Cloud Peak Heavenly Mansion."

"Desolate, cruel, dark, and unbearable. That's how I would describe those places."

"Perhaps in the eyes of a minority, such an environment is better, where the law of the jungle can select the strongest."

"But the vast majority of people would rather live in a stable and prosperous environment."

"I am the same."

Faced with Tang Tian's answer, Lu Changge fell silent.

It seemed that he didn't expect Tang Tian to give such a serious and lengthy response.

After a moment, Lu Changge smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."

"These years, I have witnessed the changes that have taken place in the outside world."

"Compared to over a hundred years ago, things have indeed improved by leaps and bounds."

"But no matter what, there are still people who hold grudges against Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion, and their numbers are definitely not few."

"Retribution is bound to happen."

Tang Tian did not deny this.

The actions of Heavenly Mansion will definitely infringe upon the interests of certain groups, and this is an unavoidable matter.

But how can we be afraid of these if we want to develop?

"I believe that for Heavenly Mansion to rise and stand at the pinnacle of the world, it must possess the power to suppress everything."

"And this is not something that I, a disciple who has not even reached the entry level, can speculate about on my own."

Tang Tian said.

Lu Changge smiled, "So, have you made up your mind to go to Heavenly Mansion?"

Tang Tian shrugged, "I was originally a disciple under Heavenly Mansion, so why wouldn't I go?"

"And even if Heavenly Mansion will face calamity in the future, I think I have no reason to stand by and do nothing."

"Let alone escape in advance."

Since crossing over, he had been staying inside Qingyue Gate for over a year.

Although his cultivation and growth were mainly supported by his two systems, the sect did not provide much help.

But if it weren't for the environment created by Qingyue Gate and the conditions provided, his growth would definitely not have been so rapid and smooth.

It's possible that he would have died due to some wrong decision when he first arrived.

After more than a year, he had gradually regarded himself as a member of Qingyue Gate.

And being a member of Qingyue Gate is equivalent to being a member of Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion.

This answer made Lu Changge silent again.

After a long while, he slowly said, "It has been many years since someone spoke to me like this."

"This is what they call being short-sighted."

"I will remember your words."

"But I still want to advise you, if there are other choices, it's best not to go to Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion."

"The storms there are far more terrifying than Qingyue Gate."

Tang Tian remained silent.

His decision would not be changed by a few words from Lu Changge.

To stand at the true pinnacle of the world, he must climb the mountain that is Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion.

The two fell silent, and a gentle breeze blew, only the rustling sound of the leaves of the old locust tree could be heard.

Suddenly, a faint fluctuation emerged from the Nianquan Ancient Well.

Chi Yuan, woke up.

Tang Tian could see that he had fully recovered at this moment. Apart from being slightly weaker in aura, the previous heart demon had completely disappeared.

"Alright, my task is complete."

Lu Changge stood up and stretched lazily.

Then, he looked around the environment inside Zizhu Courtyard with nostalgia, finally stopping at the position under the old locust tree.

"It's still comfortable here."

Lu Changge smiled, "If I'm about to die in the future, I really hope I can spend the last moments of my life under this tree."

Tang Tian remained silent, he could tell that Lu Changge truly liked this place.

"Now that everything has been understood, it's time to bid farewell to the past."

Lu Changge clasped his hands towards Tang Tian, "Goodbye, Tang Tian. I'm glad to have met you at Qingyue Gate."

"But I hope that the two of us will never meet again in the future."

Tang Tian also clasped his hands, "Goodbye."

Lu Changge smiled, turned around, and walked away.

Watching his figure, Tang Tian always felt that with each step he took, there was a noticeable change in his aura.

It became more and more obscure.

Until the end, he couldn't even see clearly.

When he came back to his senses, Lu Changge's figure had completely disappeared.

"An interesting and dangerous person."

Tang Tian shook his head and stood up, walking towards the Nianquan Ancient Well.
