On December 26th, 4386 of the Black Dragon Calendar in the Black Dragon Domain, heroes from every corner of the True Profound Continent gathered on Shuilian Island.
Thirty-two factions of heroes from the Nine Domains and Four Islands gathered together. On the fifth day after their assembly—January 1st of the following year—they slaughtered a hundred beasts to offer a blood sacrifice to Heaven on an island contributed by the Dragon Alliance, over a thousand li in circumference and fifty thousand li from Shuilian Island. They erected a colossal stele, named the island King Island, and formed their alliance there.
Of the Nine Domains of the True Profound Continent, the Three Lights Domain, Piaoxue Domain, Water Cloud Domain, and True Spirit Domain formed the Earth Core Alliance. Its leader was Jian Qianxiong, the Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, who had unified more than half of the True Spirit Domain.
The Black Dragon Domain, Profound Dragon Domain, Heavenly Clear Domain, Heavenly Wind Domain, and Golden Light Domain formed the Black Dragon Alliance. Its leader was Guo Qijing, the Sect Leader of the Qi Yun Sect, who had unified two-thirds of the Black Dragon Domain and occupied one-third of the Heavenly Wind Domain.
Apart from the Earth Core Alliance and the Black Dragon Alliance, the former Dragon Alliance was renamed Dragon Island. Dragon Island and Myriad Stars Tower divided the seas between them, each controlling half the waters. They served as the protectors of the Earth Core Alliance and Black Dragon Alliance, the wings and arms of their leaders.
