The alliance meeting continued with fervor. Essim, the main speaker, enthusiastically outlined the duties and responsibilities that each member must undertake. He detailed the long-term benefits of joining the World Market Alliance, emphasizing the potential for increased trade and greater access to diverse resources.
Essim reassured everyone that merging their floating islands did not entail the dissolution of their individual territories. Instead, it meant that they would remain in close proximity so that if any member required assistance, others could quickly come to their aid. This arrangement fostered a strong sense of community and solidarity among the members.
Moreover, Essim assured them that the development of their individual islands would proceed as usual. Members could continue to 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 aboard the same ship, navigating toward a shared goal.
After an intense and productive hour-long discussion, the meeting came to a close. Each member returned to their respective territories, eager to adapt and embrace the changes on the horizon. They left with renewed vigor and a clearer understanding of their roles within the alliance.
Back in the main hall, Essim, accompanied by Aisha, prepared to announce the formation of the alliance and the opening of the City of Life. The ten other members were also poised in their territories, ready to make the same announcement to their followers.
With purpose, Essim drafted a message for the regional chat #2344.
[Regional Chat #2344]
(Essim): Good morning, everyone! I am Essim, the leader of the World Market Alliance, and I am pleased to announce that the World Market Alliance has been officially formed. Additionally, as the sovereign of the City of Life, I am excited to share 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 now accepting new members! Experience the benefits of joining us by visiting our main base on Brother Essim'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 1,000 energy crystals. Weapon forging is available up to Elite level.
(Laras): Come, and your beloved family will be safe here!
...
The ten other members rallied behind Essim to promote the establishment of the World Market Alliance. Thousands of responses flooded in as the announcement spread, particularly when Laras sent her message. She boasted a considerable fanbase, thanks to her impressive kill points, which secured her a position in the top six rankings.
(Ucok): Look... aren't those equipment prices too cheap? The system shop prices average between 10 and 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's ranked #6 on the leaderboard! She might be the strongest person in our region!
(Deken): Brother Essim, where is your location? I don't have a teleportation portal!
(Mawar): Amazing! It looks like the strongest alliance ranking in the region is about to change...
(Hendro): Congratulations, Brother Essim! The Peace Alliance sends its regards!
(Wiko Suryo): Congratulations, Brother Essim! Egypt is proud to have talents like you.
The response from various smaller sovereigns was overwhelmingly positive; they were excited about the benefits offered by the World Market Alliance. Those without teleportation portals could only travel hundreds of kilometers with their islands, making this opportunity even more enticing.
In addition to the small sovereigns, many alliance leaders also extended their congratulations. Essim was pleasantly surprised to see Wiko Suryo himself reach out with his well-wishes. The Egyptian Alliance was the strongest in the #2344 region, bolstered by a formidable military presence.
Shortly after the announcement, several people appeared at the teleportation portal. They were all awestruck by the City of Life, which stood majestically with its stunning buildings and impressive architectural features.
As they took in their surroundings, they also noticed another brilliantly radiant city—Laras's City of Light—gleaming with luxury and beauty. Additionally, they observed Old Man Haikal's city, which exuded a tranquil aura. Both cities were open to the public, as Essim's city alone could not accommodate the vast influx of newcomers.
People continued to emerge, and within minutes, over 5,000 individuals had entered the city. Inside, numerous enjoyable buildings and gathering places awaited. Essim had previously arranged for the families of the ten other members to ensure the safety and comfort of the newcomers.
"Look, that tower looks incredibly powerful!" exclaimed a young man, gazing at the lightning tower, where sparks crackled at its pinnacle. He felt a surge of intimidation from the tower's formidable presence.
"Yes! How did Lord Essim manage to construct such a strong tower in just two days?" his friend replied, marveling at the speed and strength of the tower's construction.
At that moment, a family stepped through the portal, their eyes widening in admiration as they surveyed Essim's island.
"It's much safer here; there isn't a single Void Monster Island in sight," said a middle-aged man to his family. He had come to assess the island's environment. If it proved safe, he would make the decision to relocate his family here for their protection.
The man had initially planned to establish a business in the divine sky realm to secure their livelihood. However, he had missed the first opening of the Indonesia Alliance, causing land and building costs to skyrocket. Now, he was eager to explore opportunities with the World Market Alliance.
Others, too, harbored ambitious plans for the City of Life. A young entrepreneur, brimming with enthusiasm, aimed to launch businesses there. He envisioned shops and markets selling daily necessities and sought to expand a broad trading network.
Meanwhile, a family of former educators from Earth planned to implement an educational system in the City of Life. They aspired to create schools akin to those on Earth, complete with comprehensive curriculums and qualified teachers to nurture the city's youth.
Additionally, a talented artist envisioned establishing an entertainment business in the City of Life. He intended to present dance performances, operas, TV shows, and a variety of other entertainment forms to delight the city's residents. Fueled by his passion and creativity, he hoped to build a vibrant arts and culture center that would attract many visitors.
Lastly, an adventurous individual aspired to form an Adventurer's Association. He sought to create a hub where adventurers (Sovereigns) could receive missions, collaborate, and trade. Through this association, he aimed to foster a strong community that supported one another in facing the challenges of the divine sky realm.
With these grand ambitions, the City of Life evolved into not just a safe haven but also a vibrant center of activity and innovation, drawing countless individuals eager to settle and thrive within its boundaries.
