The alliance meeting continued with fervor. Lein, the main speaker, enthusiastically outlined the duties and roles each member must undertake. He detailed the long-term benefits of joining the World Market Alliance, such as increased trade and access to broader resources.
Lein emphasized that merging their floating islands did not mean destroying individual islands. Instead, it meant staying within the same area so that if any member needed help, others could quickly provide support. This created a strong sense of community and solidarity among members.
Moreover, Lein assured that the development of individual islands would continue as usual. Members could still upgrade their territories, levels, and make various improvements without interference. However, as core members of the World Market Alliance, they would work together as if on the same ship, sailing towards a common goal.
After an intense and productive hour-long discussion, the meeting concluded. Each member returned to their respective territories, trying to adapt and embrace the upcoming changes in their environment. They returned with renewed vigor and a better understanding of their roles within the alliance.

Lein, currently in the main hall with Nita, prepared to announce the formation of the alliance and the opening of the City of Life. The ten other members were also ready in their territories to make the same announcement to their followers.
Immediately, Lein wrote a message in regional chat #2344.
[Regional Chat #2344]
(Lein): Good morning, everyone. I am Lein, the leader of the World Market Alliance, announcing that the World Market Alliance has been officially formed. Additionally, as the sovereign 'sof the City of Life, I am pleased to announce that the City of Life is now open to the public. Please use portal ID #id42877 to access it.
(Hana): The World Market Alliance is accepting new members. Experience the benefits of joining by visiting our main base on Brother Lein's island.
(Dion): We offer level 5 weapons for 10 energy crystals, level 10 weapons for 100 energy crystals, level 15 weapons for 500 energy crystals, and level 20 weapons for 1000 energy crystals. Weapon forging is available up to Elite level.
(Laras): Come, and your beloved family will not be in danger.
...
The ten other members helped Lein promote the establishment of the World Market Alliance. Thousands of responses poured in when the announcement was broadcast, especially when Laras sent her message. Laras had many fans due to her high kill points, placing her in the top 6 rankings.
(Ucok): Look... aren't those equipment prices too cheap? The system shop prices average 10-200 crystals for level 5 equipment. I would transfer if I had teleportation.
(Night Hero): Did I see correctly... Goddess Laras is also a member of the World Market Alliance? She is ranked #6 on the leaderboard! She might be the strongest person in our region.
(Deken): Brother Lein, where is your location? I don't have a teleportation portal.
(Mawar): Amazing, the strongest alliance ranking in the region seems like it will change this time...
(Hendro): Congratulations to Brother Lein. The Peace Alliance sends its regards!
(Wiko Suryo): Congratulations, Brother Lein, Indonesia is proud to have talents like you.
The response from various small sovereigns was very positive; they were pleased with the benefits offered by the World Market Alliance. Those without portals could only travel hundreds of kilometers with their islands.
Besides small sovereigns, many alliance leaders also congratulated them. Lein did not expect Wiko Suryo himself to extend congratulations. The Indonesia Alliance was the strongest in the #2344 region, supported by Indonesian military soldiers.
...
Not long after the announcement, several people appeared at the teleportation portal. They were all amazed by the appearance of the City of Life, standing majestically with beautiful buildings and impressive architectural structures.
As they looked around, they also saw another very bright city, Laras's City of Light, shining with luxury and beauty. Additionally, they noticed a city with a peaceful aura, Old Man Haikal's city. These two cities were also open to the public since Lein's city alone could not accommodate the massive influx of people.
People kept appearing, and within minutes, more than 5,000 people had entered the city. Inside the city, there were many enjoyable buildings and places. Lein had previously arranged for the families of the ten other members to ensure the security and comfort of the newcomers.
"Look, that tower looks very powerful," a young man said as he gazed at the lightning tower with sparks crackling at its tip. He felt a bit intimidated by the tower's power.
"Yes, how did Lord Lein obtain such a strong tower in just two days?" his friend standing next to him replied, amazed at the speed and strength of the tower's construction.
At that moment, a family emerged from the portal and looked at the surroundings of Lein's island with admiration.
"It's much safer here, not a single Void Monster Island in sight," said a middle-aged man to his family. He had come here specifically to check the island's environment. If it was safe, he would decide to move his family here for their safety.
The man had planned from the beginning to run a business in the divine sky realm to survive. However, he was a bit late when the Indonesia Alliance first opened, and the cost of land and buildings had become very high there. So, he was willing to come early to the World Market Alliance to try his luck in business here.
Others also had big plans for the City of Life. A young entrepreneur, full of enthusiasm, intended to open businesses in the City of Life. He planned to set up shops and markets selling daily necessities and expand a wide trade network.
Meanwhile, a family of former educators from Earth planned to establish an education system in the City of Life. They wanted to create schools similar to those on Earth, complete with comprehensive curriculums and quality teachers, to educate the city's young generation.
Additionally, a talented artist planned to open an entertainment business in the City of Life. He aimed to present dance, opera, TV shows, and various other forms of entertainment to entertain the city's residents. With his passion and creativity, he hoped to build an arts and culture center that would attract many people.
Lastly, an adventurous man planned to form an adventurer's association. He wanted to create a place where adventurers (sovereigns) could get missions, collaborate, and trade. With this association, he hoped to build a solid community that supported each other in facing various challenges in the divine sky realm.
With these grand plans, the City of Life not only became a safe place to live but also a center of activity and innovation that attracted many people to come and settle there.
