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

It was the seventh day since Lin Xiao returned to the Eternal Alliance.

At dawn, the golden rays of the rising sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the top of the Eternal Alliance Tower.

Lin Xiao stood on the stargazing platform at the top of the tower, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, the rules around him flowing endlessly.

After a week of reflection, he had fully digested his insights from the Valley of Oblivion, and his Myriad Phenomena Flow Rule had reached the pinnacle of the sixth level, only lacking the final opportunity for a breakthrough.

But this final step was like an insurmountable chasm standing in front of Lin Xiao.

No matter how he tried or how he deduced, he always felt that something crucial was missing.

"Could it be... that my breakthrough was too rapid, resulting in too little time for reflection?"

That makes sense; in all these millions of years, no one has ever seen anyone break through to the speed of Lin Xiao.

It took less than a year for him to advance from the zeroth level of an ordinary human to the sixth level.

Creatures with such power must have cultivated for at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

Just as Lin Xiao was deep in thought, three special rule fluctuations rose simultaneously from three directions of the alliance and converged above the tower.

That is the natural resonance of the three top rules: fate, prophecy, and fortune!

"This... seems to be the third time in recent times!"

Lin Xiao opened his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in the conference room in the center of the tower.

Almost simultaneously, Zhuge Duo, Xing Yan, and Nali arrived from different directions, all three with unusual solemn expressions on their faces.

"Alliance Leader."

Zhuge Duo spoke first, the threads of fate dancing wildly around her: "Just now, my destiny talent activated on its own, capturing an extremely clear fragment of the future!"

"Your opportunity to break through to the seventh rank will come from a place called Fallen God Island."

The crystal ball in Xingyan's hand shone brightly, with countless star charts flowing within it: "My prophecy has also reached the same conclusion."

"Fallen God Island is the foremost of the three forbidden areas in the Misty World. Legend has it that a ninth-tier being once perished there. The island is permeated with a dense death rule, and all living beings that enter will gradually be corrupted by death and eventually turn into skeletons."

Nelly's face was pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "My fortune talent is issuing a frantic warning! Fallen God Island is extremely dangerous. Even if you are at the seventh level, the probability of death is almost over 90%."

"But it also provides clear guidance; there really is the key to your promotion there."

After the three finished speaking, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

Lin Xiao slowly sat down, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

Fallen God Island...

He had seen the name before.

That was when his small territory had just been liberated.

He had thought that Fallen God Island, judging from its name, was an extremely terrifying place, but he never expected that he would now be experiencing the terror of Fallen God Island firsthand.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao also recalled some of the information he had gathered about Fallen God Island afterward.

In the ancient legends of the Misty World, it was a forbidden land of death that even eighth-tier powerhouses dared not easily set foot in.

The skeletons on the island are not naturally generated undead, but rather beings permanently corrupted and transformed by some terrifying death rule. They retain their fighting instincts and some control over the rules from their previous lives, but are completely dominated by the will of death, harboring an instinctive killing intent towards all living things.

Even more terrifying is that the death rules of Fallen God Island will actively erode intruders.

According to records, there was once a seventh-tier peak expert who refused to believe in superstitions and forcibly broke into the Fallen God Island in search of the legendary ninth-tier item.

Three days later, his body was thrown out by the skeletons on the island.

No, it could no longer be called a corpse, but a skeleton that had just completed its transformation, with eerie green soul fire flickering in its eye sockets, letting out a silent roar towards the outside world.

Since then, no one has dared to set foot on Fallen God Island easily.

"A place where ninth-tier cities perish... corroded by the rules of death... even the weakest are sixth-tier skeletons..."

Lin Xiao repeated the key information in a low voice, his eyes sparkling with a rainbow of light.

The omniscient rule began to fully deduce and analyze all known information.

Zhuge Duo said worriedly, "Alliance Leader, although the opportunity to advance to the seventh rank is there, the risk is too great."

"The infamous reputation of Fallen God Island is well-deserved. Even if you can handle ordinary sixth-tier skeletons, it's said that there are skeleton kings on the island who have reached the threshold of the eighth tier..."

"And the timing of this news is just too perfect."

Xingyan added, "The three of us received simultaneous warnings, all pointing to the same location... Could there be interference from the Misty World behind this?"

Nelly nodded: "While my fortune-telling talent was warning of danger, I also sensed a slight discord, as if... as if someone was deliberately guiding our perception."

"Moreover, this is the third time that all three of our talents have been activated simultaneously!"

After listening to the three people's analysis, Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment.

But then he stood up, walked to the window of the conference room, and looked into the distance.

That place is a prosperous scene of the Eternal Alliance, a paradise where hundreds of thousands of beings of the All-Spirit Alliance live and work in peace and contentment.

But Lin Xiao knew that if he couldn't break through to the seventh rank, all of this would be nothing but a mirage.

The ascension of the God of Mist is imminent, and the countdown to the universe has begun.

Seventy-seven years sounds like a long time, but for the game between high-level beings, it is just a fleeting moment.

To be honest, Lin Xiao is only in his early twenties, and the rise and fall of the universe should not be his responsibility.

He hasn't even fully figured out the origin of the mist yet.

but……

"I have to go."

Lin Xiao turned around and looked at the three of them, his voice calm and firm: "Whether this is a trap or not, Fallen God Island offers me an opportunity to break through, that's a fact."

"Breaking through to the seventh rank is my most pressing need right now."

"But..." Zhuge Duo wanted to say something more.

Lin Xiao raised her hand to stop her: "I know there are risks, but some risks must be taken. Besides..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "If this really is a trap set by the Misty World for me, then I'm even more determined to go."

"Because this shows that they are starting to fear my growth and are beginning to use this method to restrict me."

"The more something is feared by the enemy, the more it proves its value."

"That means we will gradually transform from chess pieces into chess players!"

Xingyan gave Lin Xiao a deep look, and finally sighed: "Since you have made up your mind, then I will no longer try to dissuade you."

"My prophecy indicates that after you enter Fallen God Island, the probability of your life or death is 50/50. This is an extremely rare situation, indicating that there are too many variables on the island, which even prophecy cannot fully predict."

"Even at the seventh level, there's a 90% chance of success. For me, a 50% chance is more than enough!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly: "I've come this far from level zero, and I've faced more than one life-or-death crisis. Each time, my chances of survival were less than 50%, but I still made it this far."

He looked at Nelly: "Nelly, will your Fortune talent continue to provide remote guidance after I enter?"

Nelly closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's possible, but the effect will weaken with distance and interference from the rules of death. Within the island, I can only provide you with about 30% of the luck boost."

"Thirty percent is enough."

Lin Xiao then looked at Zhuge Duo and Xing Yan: "After I leave, the alliance will be in your hands. Although the Golden King has agreed to stay and oversee things, do not disturb him unless absolutely necessary."

"Eighth-tier battlefields exist in their own way. Our war is one we must fight ourselves."

The three nodded solemnly.

Lin Xiao no longer hesitated and began making the final preparations before setting off.

He first went to see the Heavenly Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain, Feng Yan and Yun Yin, and informed them of his decision.

All three expressed their understanding and each gave the other a life-saving item.

The Celestial Venerable's Life Origin Talisman, Phoenix Flame's Divine Fire Protective Feather, and Yun Yin's Purification Rule Crystallization.

After all, they were the ones who most wanted Lin Xiao to become stronger and stronger.

Next, Lin Xiao summoned Zhao Da, POPSA, Mary Keyes and other core combatants, and explained the alliance's next defensive arrangements.

Finally, he went to the top of the tower alone and began to adjust his state.

Three days later, everything was ready.

Lin Xiao stood in front of the Eternal Alliance's barrier, with a crowd of people who had come to see him off behind him.

"Bai Qi! Target selected: Fallen God Island!"

Lin Xiao said softly.

Yes, after Bai Qi advanced to the fifth rank and absorbed all the rule power of that fifth-rank supervisor, he also moved to the territory of the Eternal Alliance.

As Lin Xiao finished speaking, a seven-colored light shone, and the rules of space began to distort.

But at the last moment before stepping into the barrier, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed something and looked up into the depths of the void.

There seemed to be a pair of indifferent eyes watching him from there.

Is it surveillance from the misty world? Or the gaze of some other being?

Lin Xiao didn't know.

But it didn't matter anymore; whether it was an opportunity or a trap ahead, he had to keep going.

Because he chose this path himself.

The light swallowed his figure.

When his vision cleared again, Lin Xiao was standing on a completely different piece of land.

Before me lay a gloomy sky, beneath my feet cracked black earth, and the air was thick with the stench of death. With each breath, I could feel the slight loss of life.

In the distance, the outline of a huge island was faintly visible in the mist.

A persistent black cloud hangs over the island, with pale lightning flashing intermittently through it, illuminating the slowly moving skeletal figures on the island.

That's the Island of Fallen Gods.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and the rule of the return of all things circulated around him, forming a seven-colored shield that resisted the erosion of death.

Then, he stepped forward and headed towards that forbidden land of death.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao turned around and looked at him, his pupils shrinking instantly.

Only then did he realize that the entire massive Fallen God Island was actually submerged in the Sea of ​​Mist.

That's right, it's the source of the misty waves he witnessed in the Water Soul Domain.
