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

"Boss Lin Xiao, the Celestial Venerable has returned, and he has even sent someone to request your presence at the City Lord's Mansion!"

Sikong Xinyou's sudden report disrupted Lin Xiao and Zhuge Duo's thoughts.

"Forget it, it'll probably take several more days for the number of forces to reach one hundred. Right now, the most important thing is to upgrade my talent!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao temporarily stopped thinking about the power rankings and quickly walked out of the house with Sikong Xinyou.

When he arrived outside, he found Mori Kita waiting for him.

It seems that Senbei has become a professional liaison between the city lord's mansion and him.

"Lord Lin Xiao, the Heavenly Venerable and the City Lord have sent me to invite you over!" Senbei politely and respectfully told Lin Xiao about his mission.

This made Lin Xiao really curious about what had happened in Senbei.

But he was just curious and didn't intend to ask any further questions.

Lin Xiao nodded, and Senbei led the way for her.

Both of them were at the fourth level of strength, so their travel speed was not slow.

In just a few minutes, Lin Xiao and Senbei arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

When Senbei brought Lin Xiao to the entrance of the city lord's mansion, he withdrew.

Lin Xiao was not surprised, and without knocking, she pushed the door open.

Sure enough, the Heavenly Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain, the City Lord of Wood Soul City, and the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons were all here.

It is worth mentioning that the reinforcements sent by Qingliu Wilderness left the Wood Soul Domain early this morning.

"You've arrived, just in time. I've already obtained that item."

Upon hearing the Celestial Venerable's words, Lin Xiao was overjoyed. However, he then noticed that the Celestial Venerable had some dust on him, making it seem as if he had been fighting with someone.

This discovery startled Lin Xiao. Just as he was about to ask, the Celestial Venerable spoke first:

"Don't panic. There may have been a few hiccups on the road, but it's nothing serious!"

"But this thing cost me a seventh-tier item in the trade!"

"This thing is so expensive?" Lin Xiao and the city lord stared wide-eyed at the Heavenly Venerable's palm.

The Celestial Venerable looked at them, then slowly opened his palm, revealing an irregularly shaped, egg-sized, crystal-clear gem floating in his hand.

Illuminated by the surrounding light, the crystal emitted dozens of colors.

If you look closely, it seems as if there is a galaxy flowing inside the crystal.

At the same time, an unimaginable force slowly spread from the inside of the crystal outwards.

"This crystal is what can enhance a survivor's talent!" The Celestial Venerable held up the crystal and slowly said to the group.

Upon seeing this thing, Lin Xiao immediately activated his deconstruction talent.

"Deconstructing the Talent Source Crystal, Rank 7, estimated time required: 10 years. Shall we proceed with the deconstruction?"

"yes!"

"This is a seventh-tier item. No wonder that guy wanted me to exchange it for a seventh-tier item."

It seems that even the Heavenly Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain doesn't know much about this item.

"Sigh...and according to my friend, this item was given to him by a survivor from back then!"

"and……"

At this point, the Celestial Venerable gave Lin Xiao a strange look.

"Furthermore, according to my friend, the survivor told him that years later, someone would come looking for this item, and that no matter what, he had to make sure the survivor took it!"

"My friend didn't want to trade this item at first, but he suddenly remembered what the survivor had told him, so he traded it to me for the price of a Tier 7 item!"

"And judging from my friend's expression, it seems he lost a lot of money in this deal?"

After saying that, the Celestial Venerable looked at Lin Xiao with a half-smile.

Lin Xiao didn't understand what the survivor was saying, after all, he was only at the fourth rank.

All he could think of was that the survivor possessed a similar fate, or a talent or ability of cause and effect, which allowed him to foresee that many years later, someone else would come looking for this item.

After hearing the story told by the Celestial Venerable, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment about whether to take the Talent Source Crystal.

This item was, after all, traded by the Celestial Venerable for a seventh-tier artifact.

Even if he has made great contributions to the Wood Soul Domain, he cannot ask for an exorbitant price.

Lin Xiao originally thought that if this item was a fourth or fifth tier item, it would be fine, and even if it was a sixth tier item, Lin Xiao would be able to accept it without any guilt.

Even if I add up all the items I have right now, I don't know if a seventh-tier item is worth as much as a sixth-tier item.

However, Lin Xiao only hesitated for a few seconds before she understood.

"I should still accept this. Even if we take a step back, it's still a reward from the Celestial Venerable!"

"Even if we take a step back and assume that the Celestial Venerable felt I wasn't worthy of this seventh-tier item, he wouldn't have traded this Talent Source Crystal for me in the first place!"

"So, even if we take a step back, this item would have no other use in the Celestial Venerable's hands. Since it's called the Talent Source Crystal, it's obvious that it only affects talents!"

"At least including the Celestial Venerable, neither the City Lord of Wood Soul City nor the leader of the Green Bamboo Demons can use this Talent Source Crystal!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately felt at ease.

The Celestial Venerable, standing at the head of the table, sensed the change in Lin Xiao's attitude with some confusion.

The Celestial Venerable was not quite aware of Lin Xiao's changing mood.

The Celestial Venerable glanced at the three of them, and seeing that they had no further objections, he reached out and grabbed the Talent Source Crystal, casually tossing it to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, and the Talent Source Crystal naturally floated in his palm, as if... the Talent Source Crystal itself was prepared for Lin Xiao.

After receiving the talent crystal, Lin Xiao did not use it immediately, but planned to take it back and use it when he entered a quiet place.

As for the location, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind.

That is the territory of the alliance where the Eternal Alliance he founded is located.

That territory, belonging to the Alliance, was as large as the Earth itself.

Moreover, as the territory where the alliance is located, the safety level there is definitely much higher than other places.

The Celestial Venerable naturally saw through Lin Xiao's eagerness and did not force him to stay. He simply instructed him not to make too much of a commotion before letting Lin Xiao go back.

After expressing his sincere gratitude to the Celestial Venerable, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to take the Talent Source Crystal back to his room.

Then Lin Xiao opened the Alliance interface and teleported to the Alliance's territory.
