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

Inside the core research and development room, the seven-colored halo of the eternal realm intertwines with the rules of all parties, forming a dazzling energy vortex.

Lin Xiao stood in the center of the vortex, his entire body operating at full capacity according to the rules of the Myriad Phenomena Returning to Flow, like an invisible hub that firmly bound Yun Xi's power of creation, Xing Yan's prophetic rules, the Heavenly Venerable's life essence, and the Golden King's wishing coins.

"Let's begin."

Lin Xiao spoke in a deep voice, and the core rule power of the Myriad Phenomena Return to Flow surged from his fingertips, transforming into a seven-colored thread that weaved through the energy vortex like a shuttle.

This thread, imbued with the precise insight of omniscient rules, meticulously traces the threads of power from all sides, eliminating mutual repulsion.

Yunxi moved lightly, and the green light spots around her surged. As she formed hand seals, countless fine energy threads emerged from the void, weaving into four crystal-clear prototypes, which were the foundation for the upgraded Saint Crystal.

"The power of creation sustains the vitality of all things, infusing the Sacred Crystal with the essence for its advancement!"

She gave a soft shout and tapped her fingertips. The four crystal prototypes were instantly enveloped in a green halo, and visible life energy began to flow inside them, as if they contained the vitality of an entire primordial land.

Xingyan held a crystal ball, his eyes closed, and the rules of prophecy were operating at full power.

The crystal ball shone brightly, and the core trajectories of the talents of Zhuge Duo, Zhao Da, Bobo Sha, and Mary Keith, their energy bottlenecks, and the optimal paths to advancement clearly emerged, transforming into four golden runes that precisely merged into the four crystal embryos.

"The power of prophecy sees through illusions, guiding the Holy Crystal on the perfect path to advancement and preventing any backlash!"

As he finished speaking, golden runes transformed into complex loops within the crystal, solidifying the advancement process into an irreversible, perfect closed loop.

The Holy Crystals may be the same, but the process of getting others to the sixth rank is completely different.

The Wood Soul Domain Celestial Venerable stepped forward, his body radiating intense light. A highly refined emerald green life essence poured out like a waterfall, flowing into the energy vortex.

"The essence of life, a solid foundation, allows those who advance to a higher level to possess profound inner strength and have no worries about the future!"

After the emerald green energy is incorporated into the crystal, the originally slightly fragile crystal wall instantly becomes tough, and the internal energy flow becomes more stable, like a rushing river being smoothed into a gentle stream.

The King of Gold raised his hand and waved it, sending dozens of glittering golden wishing coins floating out, his body radiating the power of cause and effect.

"The Golden Rule empowers the Sacred Crystal, using the power of cause and effect to break through the barriers of rank!"

The gold coins disintegrated one by one, transforming into pure golden energy that merged with the energy inside the crystal, causing faint golden patterns to appear on the surface of the sacred crystal, radiating a chilling aura.

Lin Xiao's gaze was sharp, and he pushed the rule of the return of all things to its limit, causing the seven-colored threads to intertwine wildly, completely melting all the power.

"All things converge, rules unite, solidify!"

With a low shout, the energy vortex suddenly contracted, and the four upgraded Saint Crystals were fully formed in the light.

Its entire body is translucent with seven colors, and green and gold light flows inside. Prophecy runes are engraved on its surface, and it emits a terrifying aura that can both break through ranks and stabilize one's origin.

It was thanks to Lin Xiao's talent for synthesis that he could achieve a 100% success rate; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do.

[Advanced Sacred Crystal (Exclusive to SSS-Rank Talent Survivors): Fusion of the five rules of Creation, Prophecy, Life, Gold, and the Flow of All Things, usable only by SSS-rank talent survivors. Allows direct advancement from Tier 4 to Tier 6 without any backlash, and perfectly unleashes talent potential. Post-advanced combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Tier 6 survivors!]

The Mist System notification sounded in everyone's minds, and the Golden King raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "The quality of this Holy Crystal is much more reliable than my Wish Coins for a temporary upgrade."

The Celestial Venerable nodded in agreement: "The origin of life and the power of creation complement each other, and the foundation of those who advance will only be more solid than those who advance normally."

Lin Xiao put away the Saint Crystal, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "It's time for them to break through."

Soon, Zhuge Duo, Zhao Da, Bobo Sha, and Mary Keith were summoned to the research and development lab.

The four of them stared at the Saint Crystal for advancement in Lin Xiao's hand for a moment, then their faces were filled with excitement.

They knew all too well how difficult it was to leap from Tier 4 to Tier 6, a feat that ordinary survivors might not be able to achieve even in their entire lives.

Moreover, most survivors are currently at or below Tier 4 in terms of combat strength.

"This is an Ascension Crystal, specially crafted for your SSS-level talents, which can directly advance you to the sixth rank."

Lin Xiao handed the first Holy Crystal to Zhuge Duo.

"Zhuge Duo, your destiny talent is currently the highest priority talent here. I've also heard the saying that time is supreme, space is king, cause and effect cannot prevail, and destiny reigns supreme."

"We've already dealt with your spatial and causal talents, and your destiny talent is right next to me. As for your time talent, we don't know its current status."

"Therefore, I'm very interested in the enhancements brought by my destiny talent!"

Zhuge Duo accepted the Holy Crystal, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath and pressed the Holy Crystal to her brow. The Holy Crystal instantly melted, turning into seven-colored energy that surged into her body.

In an instant, countless threads of fate appeared around her, the originally blurry threads becoming incredibly clear, and even beginning to intertwine into a net.

The river of fate that was once under our control has become even more powerful.

Even the thinnest of the dozen or so branches that split off from the main vein of the River of Fate are much thicker than the ones Zhuge Duo had previously mastered.

Her aura surged at a visible speed, the fourth-order barrier shattered like paper, and the pressure of the fifth and sixth orders erupted one after another.

When Zhuge Duo advanced to the sixth rank, Xing Yan suddenly looked at her in surprise.

Next was Zhao Da, who took the Holy Crystal and swallowed it without hesitation.

The Holy Crystal energy erupted, and a powerful sword will surged out from his body, condensing countless sword energy phantoms around him.

As his aura surged, a massive sword shadow appeared behind him, radiating an invincible sharpness.

After advancing to the sixth rank, Zhao Da clenched his fist, and the sword energy around him automatically condensed into a physical longsword. With a casual wave of his hand, a condensed sword energy was unleashed, leaving a shallow mark on the energy barrier of the research lab.

"I feel like I can control even more flying swords now!"

"If I were to unleash a flying sword, I could probably shatter the sun of the original world!"

After obtaining the Holy Crystal, Poposha excitedly rubbed his hands together and pressed the Holy Crystal to his chest.

The moment the energy surged in, a blazing energy wave erupted around him, as if an inexhaustible source of energy had been opened within his body.

After advancing to the sixth rank, he raised his hand and countless phantom images of heavy weapons appeared behind him—machine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and other modern weapons were all present, and they exuded the pressure of the sixth rank.

"Now, I can summon all sorts of ranged weapons out of thin air; I no longer need to prepare my own weapons!"

"And...it seems there's another big thing activated inside me?"

Finally, it was Mary Keith's turn. Dressed in black, she received the Holy Crystal and slowly absorbed it into her body.

When the energy erupted, countless black mists surged from her body, instantly enveloping half of the research lab. The mists contained a strange aura of erosion and concealment.

After advancing to the sixth rank, the mist slowly dissipated, and Mary Keith's eyes turned deep purple.

"The manipulation of the fog has evolved."

She spoke softly, her tone tinged with mystery.

"My mist can not only conceal my form and create illusions, but it can also devour the energy and rules of my enemies. It can even create independent spaces within the mist to trap sixth-tier powerhouses!"

After the four individuals completed their advancement, four sixth-tier auras intertwined within the research and development room, forming seven powerful combat forces with Lin Xiao, Yun Xi, and Xing Yan. The sheer intensity of their auras was so great that even members of the Eternal Alliance in the distance could clearly perceive them.

Zhuge Duo's talent for destiny not only greatly enhances the power of destiny strikes and destiny manipulation.

It can also bless teammates with destiny protection, improve their luck, reduce the probability of encountering danger, and see through the enemy's destiny weaknesses to find the battle trajectory where they are most likely to perish.

Most importantly, Zhuge Duo now has the complete protection of fate.

[Fate Immunity]: Her own fate line is absolutely stable. Any intervention, curse, or prophecy targeting fate will be ineffective. Even if Lin Xiao's omniscient rules want to predict her actions, they will be interfered with by the power of fate, resulting in a 30% deviation.

In Xingyan's prophecy, he is no longer seen at all.

That's why he looked at Zhuge Duo with surprise just now.

Even fate, talent, and other variations exist, which will not be discussed further for now.

Zhao Da's sword immortal talent, on the other hand, led him down the path of extreme attack and quantity.

First, the number of flying swords under his control reached one hundred million.

Moreover, the power of each flying sword is equivalent to that of an ordinary sixth-tier item.

Once his sword domain is unleashed, the entire area within a one-light-year radius becomes his sword territory. Enemies' movement and attack speeds will be significantly suppressed, while the power of his swordsmanship will double.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique can condense countless sword energies to form a saturation attack, precisely striking multiple targets.

It can also materialize sword intent, condensing it into a long sword tens of millions of meters long, unleashing a world-destroying slash.

PPSh's unlimited firepower directly turned him into a mobile artillery turret on the battlefield.

He can simultaneously control hundreds of different types of heavy weapons, creating a comprehensive firepower coverage, and each weapon can inflict a type of rule-based damage.

The flames extinguish, the frost freezes, the lightning paralyzes, the armor pierces—all at will.

This is an ability that PPSh gains by leveraging the effects of the Wishing Coin.

And the big thing he mentioned is supposedly a weapon made of antimatter, with incredible power.

Mary Keyes's manipulation of the fog made her the most enigmatic controller of the battlefield.

Her mist can devour the energy of rules; the power of rules used by enemies within the mist will be gradually eroded, greatly reducing its effectiveness.

The illusion can simulate the enemy's most feared scenarios, directly impacting their soul. It can even cause those with weak willpower to break down. The opened mist space can isolate the inside from the outside. After trapping the enemy, the mist will continuously compress, causing continuous erosion until it is completely annihilated.

Just like the divided areas in the current misty world.

She herself can gain extreme speed and stealth in the mist, making it as easy as taking candy from a sixth-tier expert.

Looking at the changes in the four, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction: "With your addition, our combat strength has reached a new level."

Yunxi smiled and said, "Seven SSS-level Tier 6 survivors are enough to contend with the other side."

Xingyan added, "According to the prophecy, they are already gathering and will arrive in the void of the Eternal Alliance in three days at most."

"Lin Xiao, please note, they are different from us; they are not people you can communicate with!"

As he continued, Xingyan's expression became serious.

"rest assured!"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and gave Xing Yan a reassuring look: "I'm not some saint, I have to be responsible for the Eternal Alliance!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xing Yan was completely relieved.

"So, Brother Lin Xiao, do you need our help this time?" the Wood Soul Domain Celestial Venerable suddenly asked.

"No, this is an internal matter for us survivors, and after this incident, I also want to reorganize the situation within the survivor team!"

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. He was preparing to officially use the passive extension effect of his talent to completely control all the survivors.

Apart from Xingyan and Zhuge Duo, no one else discovered Lin Xiao's purpose.

But Zhuge Duo had already become Lin Xiao's loyal follower.

As for Xingyan... after a moment of stiffness, he regained his nonchalant expression.

He foresaw what would happen next, but he also foresaw the consequences of revealing the truth.

He wasn't naturally gifted in combat, so... he decided to bury this secret deep in his heart forever.

Meanwhile, the remaining seven survivors with SSS-level talents were also ready to take action.

The seven SSS-level talent survivors did not bring their subordinate forces with them, because they knew that anyone whose strength was below the sixth rank was simply cannon fodder.

Moreover, they are the highest-ranking members in their respective factions.

They are now aware of Xingyan and Yunxi's betrayal.

However, they didn't have any particular thoughts.

Therefore, even the Misty World underestimated survivors with such an SSS-level talent.

Loyalty? They are completely beyond our control.

They took on this task solely to have a match with Lin Xiao, the world's number one. They wanted to know why he was number one and whether he truly deserved the title!

They believed that with their SSS-level talent, they were in no way inferior to Lin Xiao.

Regardless of what these SSS-level survivors thought, the Dark Eclipse Order had at least achieved its goal of causing trouble for Lin Xiao.

And they can then spare some of their attention to achieve other goals.

Within the Eternal Alliance, Lin Xiao stood atop the tallest tower, the Omniscient Rules already having detected the movements of those SSS-level talent survivors.

Zhuge Duo, Zhao Da, Bobo Sha, Mary Keith, Yun Xi, and Xing Yan stood behind him.
