With the fall of the Star Luo Empire and the establishment of the Clear Sky Empire, the Soul Land Alliance Assembly was rife with open and covert struggles, yet it still managed, through fits and starts, to establish a preliminary framework for exchanges among the nations.
Sharing resources, establishing order, and standardizing the conduct and behavior of Soul Masters—everyone across the continent, whether commoners, nobles, or Soul Masters, became busier than ever before.
The Soul Land Alliance Assembly also had a set of standards regarding rights and responsibilities: the greater one's ability, the greater one's responsibility, and the greater one's rights.
Those with ability who took on responsibility would naturally gain status, honor, and rights.
Conversely—
If one had ability but refused to shoulder responsibility, hoping to gain without working, then they would have no rights whatsoever. And if they still refused to behave, acting recklessly and abusing their power, they would be arrested, have their Soul Power sealed, and undergo Labor Reform.
Once the framework of the Douluo Continent Nations Alliance Assembly, led by Red China, had largely been established, the exploration of other worlds was also set into motion.
This was a massive undertaking. The talent required could not be like in "Journey to the West," where four people and a horse were enough. It required personnel versed in politics, economics, education, medicine, diplomacy, and more. Members of the team also needed to understand farming, animal husbandry, forging, and other crafts—
No matter whether a civilization in another world was advanced or not, it would inevitably involve such things. Even if their languages differed, those who understood these crafts could still share a common body language with people of another world and foster goodwill.
Beyond that, there were combat personnel!
