In fact, the idea of creating the "Immortal Alliance" was first floated by Qu Luming on the front line, then jointly discussed and finalized by Du Li and Lan Shanying.
They felt that in the new alliance it was always the Commerce Association crowd calling the shots, leading to endless disputes; while the Left and Right Martial Guards, Law Enforcement Hall and all those Military Generals were far too strong. So why not take a different path altogether and scoop up the forging department that normally never gets much attention?
The Demon Realm Alliance's forging department was entirely made up of various technical members—Builders, Array Masters, Artifact Refiners and so on. They had professional skills but no combat power, and they couldn't compete with the Commerce Association's deep pockets.
