Actually, I had been thinking about creating the Mist Alliance for a long time already.
It would be an alliance with a mutual goal, and each country would worship the God of Law. Each state would have a similar legal system and would obey the premise of non-aggression to create a relatively peaceful area in the Northlands.
Yes, it would only be an alliance, not some legendary kingdom and definitely not an empire. I had no intention of reigning over others and declaring myself emperor in the borderlands or anything like that. In fact, I didn't even intend to be the leader of any faction.
"I want to reduce the scale of this Holy War and the death it will cause as much as possible. I want to gather more power and be able to survive this dangerous war."
My primary goal had never changed, and after all this perseverance, I seemed to have begun getting results.
First, one of the most important members of the foundation, Wumianzhe, increased in strength.
Does anyone recognize the references in this chapter? We couldn’t (except for Chicken Soup for the Soul and Sleeping Beauty, which are explicitly stated). Please comment if you do; I can add notes in the chapter for other readers! --Pranav
