With the progress of society and the improvement of civilization, people believe that as long as they get along well with each other, there is no need to stick to a certain form.

The original intention and the final result are not all predictable, and people's feelings will also change due to changes in environmental conditions, or they may become indifferent or even turn against each other. Once it reaches this point, the oath of worship is broken, and the alliance members often break up unhappy. Generally, in order to end the sworn alliance at that time, it needs to be ended in the same form as when the sworn alliance was formed.
