The island filled with the aura of holy light finally stopped and merged with Lein's island.
The city gates opened, revealing five people who stepped out and walked toward Lein's island. From their appearance, it was clear they were a family—two adults and three children. The leader of the group was a woman with a white headscarf. Her face was fair and smooth, with a prominent nose and calm, relaxed eyes. Her black hair peeked slightly from under her white scarf.
This woman seemed to be the eldest daughter of the family. Beside her was a slightly younger girl, probably around Nita's age, and a boy who looked about 12 years old.
With steady steps, the family approached Lein and the other sovereigns who had arrived earlier. It didn't take long for them to meet and introduce themselves.
The presence of this family added a serious yet friendly atmosphere, and Lein could sense the sincerity in their every movement. Friendly smiles and meaningful glances adorned this meeting, signaling the beginning of a harmonious cooperation under the World Market Alliance.
With their arrival, Lein felt a wave of mixed emotions—happiness, enthusiasm, and hope. He knew that this alliance would bring many positive changes to his territory.
"Hello, Brother Lein, I am Laras," the woman said warmly. Lein somehow felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Hello, I'm Lein. Nice to meet you," Lein replied, returning her greeting and shaking her hand.
Upon hearing the woman's name, Laras, Lein's mind recalled something. Yes, this woman was the sovereign who ranked 6th on the event leaderboard.
"It seems I've gained a strong ally this time," Lein thought to himself. During a chat in the group (Princess Nita), Lein had already suspected. But after seeing her in person, he was 100% convinced they were the same people.
Then, Lein looked at everyone present, totaling more than 150 people, and said, "Since everyone is here, how about we discuss inside the city?"
Lein invited everyone into the city. The city gates opened, revealing a majestic and well-organized cityscape.
"It seems this man wasn't lying..." said the woman with the aura of light, admiring the splendor of Lein's city.
"Brother Lein seems to have quite deep secrets," remarked a young man with a black and red sword in his hand, his tone serious.
Some members of the group were also very impressed and amazed by the state of Lein's city. How could they not be, as Lein had spent hundreds of millions or even more than a billion energy crystals to decorate and strengthen the island. Which sovereign could generate hundreds of millions of energy crystals even less than three days after moving to the divine sky realm?
Their admiration wasn't just for the physical grandeur of the city but also for Lein's intelligence and vision in building a strong and harmonious community. This was the beginning of a new era that promised many opportunities and challenges for everyone involved.

Currently, inside the meeting room in the main hall, 12 people were seated around a round table to discuss various issues regarding the World Market Alliance.
Lein, as the meeting leader, spoke first. He delivered a few words of greeting before stating the discussion topic for this meeting.
"Once again, I thank you all for joining and becoming part of the World Market Alliance," said Lein, looking at everyone with a respectful gaze.
He then continued, "The first topic we will discuss is the compensation I promised earlier." Lein pulled out 50 Blessing Potions from his Spatial Bag.
Immediately, 50 transparent bottles appeared in front of everyone. Lein then distributed five bottles to each of them.
"Hahahah... Brother Lein is indeed trustworthy," said the old man Takulani from one corner of the table, his voice full of appreciation.
"What?! Isn't this potion equivalent to raising the level by five?" exclaimed a young man with blue hair. The young man, named Dion, was the sovereign who had sold the teleportation blueprint to Nita.
"A very pure and powerful potion," said the woman with the aura of light, staring at the potion with enthusiasm. If others saw the panel in front of her or even Lein, they would undoubtedly feel envious to their core.
(Blessing Potion)
- Attribute +200 (random)
*Note: Can only be taken 10 times.
Laras didn't show how happy she was inside. She simply took the potion and put it in her bag calmly.
"Next, I will provide you all with a full set of level 20 elite equipment," Lein then produced 10 packages of equipment wrapped in green light.
"Wuohhhh... level 20? Elite tier?" several people exclaimed in awe.
"How many crystals did Brother Lein spend to forge all this?" asked a female sovereign with black braided hair.
Lein looked at Hana and said, "Not much... not much... Sister Hana, don't worry about it, this is just my generosity."
Lein spoke honestly; he didn't find it difficult to forge elite-tier equipment. If he could obtain higher-quality stones, it wouldn't be impossible to forge them.
Lein distributed 10 sets of equipment to the 10 people around the table. Laras, observing from one end of the table, saw the equipment given by Lein.
First, she looked at the weapon, but she didn't check its status for long before putting it in her bag. However, when she looked at other equipment like robes, shoes, headgear, and gloves, a small smile appeared on her face.
(Heavenly Light Robe)
- Level: 20
- Attribute: Str +84, Int +132, Agi +92, Res +108
- (Body of Light) Increases light damage by 10%, restores health by 0.2% per second for 30 seconds, reduces dark damage by 25%. Cooldown 10 minutes.
If Lein saw the attributes on Laras' panel at that moment, he might feel his talent was slightly useless. All the attributes from the Heavenly Light Robe in front of him were twice as much as usual. Why not, all the equipment given by Lein had light attributes according to Laras' request.
Everyone temporarily checked all the equipment they had received. Lein and Nita sat quietly, observing them all closely. After a while, they finally sat back down comfortably.
"Hahah... apologies, Brother Lein. The equipment you gave was a bit beyond our expectations," said the old man Haikal with an appreciative tone.
"Yes, Brother Lein," Efan agreed.
"Alright, let's not exaggerate. Next, we will discuss the operational activities of the World Market Alliance," Lein said calmly, then pulled out some notes to continue the discussion.
