Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Upon hearing the male mermaid named Shui Ling claim that he was a survivor before Lin Xiao and the others, Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo's pupils immediately contracted.

Seeing the somewhat shocked expressions on Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo's faces, Shui Ling smiled.

Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo exchanged a glance, both able to see a hint of shock in each other's expressions.

This water spirit mermaid just said that he claims to be a survivor, not a descendant of survivors like the Grand Elder.

Lin Xiao had always believed that only when all the previous batch of survivors died would their eight billion people be pulled into Earth.

but……

Lin Xiao looked at Shui Ling in front of him, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Shui Ling suddenly snapped her fingers, manipulating the water to condense into four chairs behind Lin Xiao and the other three. Then, she used the water to condense a table in front of her.

Shui Ling extended her hand in a gesture.

Lin Xiao and the others carefully sat down in the chairs, looking at Shui Ling who was about to say something.

"I became a survivor around three thousand years ago."

"When my strength reached the fourth level, a few voices actually came from my mind."

"He told me that I had passed certain tests, and asked if I wanted to join the Mist World and work with us to build a new Mist World."

"I rejected him firmly at the time, but he kept nagging at me."

"And in the end... naturally, I am..."

"Of course you agreed, otherwise you wouldn't have appeared in this Water Soul Domain!" Lin Xiao spoke up, suddenly interrupting Shui Ling.

Shui Ling readily nodded in agreement.

After listening to Shui Ling's sudden explanation, Lin Xiao thought of the situation when he broke through to the fourth level, but he didn't hear any sound at that time.

But Lin Xiao didn't think Shui Ling was deceiving him. The Leaf of Judgment was one thing, but the other was that Shui Ling also possessed the Mist System!

At the same time, Shui Ling also possesses the so-called SSS-level talent!

At that time, he was the only one in the entire Water Spirit clan who possessed an SSS-level talent.

[SSS-level talent, Heart of Water, allows the user to manipulate water flow and create moisture out of thin air.]

At that time, Shui Ling believed herself to be the savior of her entire tribe.

Unfortunately, the real world of mist dealt him a heavy blow, making him no longer want to believe he was a savior.

Finally, Shui Ling became the water master of this Water Spirit Paradise. On the one hand, he had lost all his energy and spirit, and on the other hand, he was determined to protect the few remaining members of his clan.

According to Shui Ling, at that time, the number of people in their clan had dwindled to no more than 20.

It was because of this that Shui Ling became the Water Lord, or rather, a force within the Water Soul Domain.

At this moment, Sheng and Xun were studying something elsewhere in the palace, while Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo were sitting at the table listening to Shui Ling's complaints.

The tense atmosphere in the air was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning.

"Now, after hundreds of years of my efforts, our clan's population has returned to over three hundred!"

As he spoke, Shui Ling suddenly became proud, after all, this was the most impressive thing he had ever done.

Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo's eyes twitched as they looked at the female mermaids hiding somewhere in the palace.

If he wasn't mistaken, both outside and inside the palace, apart from Shui Ling, who was a male mermaid, everyone else seemed to be a female mermaid...

As for how he managed to turn a dozen or so clansmen into more than three hundred, Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo felt that this was not something to ponder deeply.

After clearing his mind of distractions, Lin Xiao finally got to the point: "Mr. Shui Ling, do you have any crystals here?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Shui Ling replied, "I'm sorry, our Shui Ling Paradise doesn't have any crystals."

"However, I have heard that another force in the Water Soul Domain definitely possesses this item!"

"What power?" Lin Xiao asked seriously.

"The name of this faction should be... Dark Ice Valley!"

"Dark Ice Valley?"

"Yes, Dark Ice Valley." Shui Ling nodded after muttering a few words.

"Their entire faction consists of difficult individuals, and although they live in the Water Soul Domain, the power they wield is ice!"

"Ice?" Lin Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it's ice. It's a natural counter to our ability to manipulate water, and unfortunately, we don't know how to defeat it!"

After hearing Shui Ling's words, Lin Xiao pondered to himself, "Ice? Indeed, this can be said to be the most effective counter to water."

"A single blast of cold air will turn any flow of water, no matter how strong, into ice!"

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a bit of a problem, since they were underwater, and his combat power was naturally affected to some extent.

Shui Ling nodded: "Mr. Lin Xiao, Miss Zhuge Duo, please don't worry. I am allied with the other two forces in the Water Soul Domain. In fact, this is an alliance we formed to jointly defend against Dark Ice Valley."

"I can message the leaders of those two factions and ask them if they have any crystals. At the very least, I should ask them what progress they've made in their research on Dark Ice Valley!"

As Shui Ling spoke, she waved her hand, and a small, agile fish swam to her.

Then, with her fingertips like a pen, Shui Ling wrote some words in the air... no, in the water.

Then, the words floating in the water turned into a stream of light and entered the fish's body.

The fish then vanished with a "whoosh!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiao wanted to say goodbye to Shui Ling and prepare to leave the Shui Ling Paradise with Zhuge Duo and the others.

However, Shui Ling persuaded them to stay for one night, and the two forces would give them an answer the next day.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao had no choice but to stay with Zhuge Duo and the others.

Shui Ling also wanted to know whether the Misty World had changed in the hundreds of years since he came to the Water Soul Domain.

Lin Xiao also exchanged intelligence with Shui Ling.

For example, if both of them have been to ruins, are there any differences between ruins from hundreds of years ago and ruins now? Have the rules of operation changed?

In the other Soul Realms, is everything still the same as usual?

And so on.

Lin Xiao, however, obtained a lot of information about other territories as a result.

After all, Shui Ling was once a survivor herself, and in order to survive, she would naturally travel to various territories to find items and tools to improve her strength.

Soon, darkness fell, and the atmosphere of the entire Water Soul Domain became incredibly quiet, as if there were still no living beings there.
