Jiang Zhen presented his own understanding.

From that moment onward, there would no longer be any inevitable or absolute causal connection between a newborn being's awakened Martial Soul and its parents' bloodline inheritance!
The children of Nobles might awaken farming-tool Martial Souls, while the descendants of commoners might awaken top-tier Martial Souls or even the embryonic forms of divine weapons!
