The debate over whether commoners or clans are more important is as pointless as arguing whether a chicken or an egg came first.

A clan is essentially an exceptional gathering of commoners, and from this perspective, it would seem more important to secure the allegiance of a clan, for it represents a selection of outstanding commoners. But, we can’t just skim the surface while evaluating matters.

Tang Luo knows that it is almost impossible to change the present mindset singlehandedly, hence he chooses to discuss the potential of commoners with the aid of two more convincing noble families.

“You all have seen Ji Fu, and have heard from Xu Clan about how powerful Han Family was a thousand years ago,” Tang Luo leaned his chin on his interlocked hands and softly said, “The first sacred land in the world was indeed that of the Han Family. Even when Saint Han ventured alone into the Endless Sea’s Dragon Island, it took seven other sacred clans and the top sects, together with the betrayal of allies from the An Clan, to break through the ancestral land of Han Family in the Central Plains.”

Perhaps it would be, if it said: “All are ‘born’ equal,” but after birth, equality probably ceases to exist.
