"I can betray my own class and represent the commoners against the powerful families.”
Dugu Ce smiled and leaned forward, staring at Shen Luoyan,""But why should I? Wild Goose, can you give me a reason?”
Since ancient times, there had been many people who had betrayed their social class.
In his previous life, Dugu Ce was just an ordinary person. He was lucky enough to obtain an ancient inheritance and became the last cultivator of the 21st century.
With his true background and his evil cultivator mentality of " ascending to immortality is the most important thing in the world. If God blocks him, he will kill him. If Buddha blocks him, he will destroy Buddha." Even if he became a noble family in this life, he would not take the aristocratic families seriously.
In his eyes, there was no difference between the aristocrats and the common folk.
This was why he could always maintain his manners when facing people at the bottom of society.
As long as the other party did not provoke him, he would not lose his manners even if he asked a beggar on the street for directions. However, if the other party stopped him from ascending to immortality, he would kill them with a single sword strike, be it refugees, beggars, noble families, or the emperor.
However, he did not care about his family background and did not despise the people at the bottom of society, but it did not mean that he was willing to lead the commoners to a great counterattack.
The general trend of history is that if you follow it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish.
If Dugu Ce could take advantage of the situation, with his noble background as the son of a top family, he would be able to take over the world with half the effort.
Even if the Dugu Family was ungrounded, had no foundation in the local area, and didn't have their own army or territory, with Dugu Ce's talent, as long as he had the help of the Dugu Family's prestige, he could still succeed easily.
However, if he wanted to go against the trend and represent the commoners to fight against the powerful families and take over the world, then even with his talent and strength, with his foresight of history, he had to abandon his cultivation and devote all his energy to the great cause of rebellion. Only then would he have any hope of success.
After he succeeded, he could continue to cultivate, but why would he waste time and energy?
"I need a reason."
He looked at Shen Luo Yan with a gentle smile, but his eyes were indifferent,"A reason that makes me feel that the gains are greater than the losses.”
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or present life, Dugu Ce's goal had always been to ascend beyond the heavens and obtain great freedom and bliss.
Compared to Ao Xiao Firmament and the Carefree Universe, this small world was too insignificant.
If he became an immortal, then the rise and fall of the mortal world would be in his hands. No matter how powerful the emperor was, he could only bow down and worship him.
Since that was the case, what reason did he have to go against the trend?
If he wanted to be the emperor, he had many ways. As long as he had the strength to resist the heavenly punishment, then he could wait for someone to unify the world and directly kill that person, transform his body, and replace him!
Why would he need to expend his own effort?
If he had the time and energy, he might as well cultivate properly and strive to obtain the strength to not fear the divine retribution as soon as possible!
Shen Luo Yan's heart was thrown into chaos by Dugu Ce's sharp words. Under his interrogation, she could only answer instinctively,"If Young Master is willing to assist Duke Mi and help us commoners to break the world, I am willing to serve Young Master.”
"Assist Li Mi? Ha, Luo Yan, you really have a strong will. I've already explained it so thoroughly, but you still want me to assist Li Mi. This Young Master is even unwilling to end up like this, what kind of ability does Li Mi have to deserve me to assist him?”
Dugu Ce shook his head and chuckled." Even if I lose my mind and help Li Mi conquer the world, what can I do?" Do you think that commoners can really step onto the stage of history? It was impossible. At that time, you commoners and bandits will become a new aristocratic family. They would continue to be like the aristocratic families in the past, controlling wealth and power, rising up the ladder, and oppressing the commoners. There had never been an exception to this historical cycle.”
The true arrival of the age of commoners would only be accompanied by great progress in productivity and an abundance of social resources.
With the improvement of productivity and the abundance of social resources, there would be enough resources to produce vehicles and spread knowledge. The children did not need to go to the fields to help with the work and could sit in the school and study in peace.
Only when the commoners mastered knowledge could they be considered to have the capital to change their own destiny and make their own voices heard.
In Dugu Ce's previous life, the internet era had a glimmer of hope.
As long as one was willing, anyone could learn anything on the Internet. Be it astronomy, geography, military strategy, science and technology, medicine, finance, or even the knowledge of making nuclear bombs, they could all be learned. As long as they were willing, everyone could make their voices heard online.
However, even in the internet age, most ordinary people could only make a sound online. Whether the rulers were willing to accept it was another matter.
If the civilians were too loud and made the rulers unhappy, the rulers could control the fishing boats at any time or even block the channels.
Even Dugu Ce's previous life's internet era had only just seen the dawn of the era of the common people, let alone the current chaotic era of the Sui Dynasty, where productivity was extremely backward.
Not to mention that he was not an immortal yet, even if he became an immortal, it was impossible for him to raise the productivity of the entire society to the level of the Internet age within a hundred years with his own strength. It was even more impossible to easily change the deep-rooted historical traditions and change the people's inherent thinking about social classes.
Therefore, the so-called breaking of the aristocratic families and creating an era of commoners was simply a false proposition in the historical period of at least 1,300 years from now.
"Luo Yan, I admit that you are a woman worth having. However, among my women, there are also daughters of noble families. I can't ignore them because of you.”
Dugu Ce sighed and stood up, walking towards the silent Shen Luo Yan. He grabbed her slender and soft hand and said gently,
"The matters of the world are too heavy. No matter how ambitious you are, you can't bear it. Why don't you temporarily put down this heavy burden and enjoy the bliss with me? I promise that I will make you forget all your worries…"
