Lu Ping'an's influence is clearly centered around himself.
This is similar to many large companies with strong bosses, where a generation of leaders is overly dominant, leading to small groups ruling over larger ones... This in itself is not actually a problem; the first generation of leaders and those around them are often astute and competent, and the relative centralization actually improves administrative efficiency and decision-making speed.
The problem often arises in the second or third generation, when various powers become entangled, affecting overall operations.
But if it's someone like Lu Ping'an, an "Immortal", it's not a problem at all. On the contrary, it's actually a good thing... just that it poses some difficulty for the young elites aspiring to enter the "Inner Ring".
"...That's pretty much it, Mumu, keep an eye on the Tree Dragon area more closely, I don't want to hear announcements about farmland and factory destruction anymore..."
