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

The news of the Dark Territory's destruction was like a bombshell, causing a huge shock among all the surrounding forces.

A territory with a seventh-tier expert was wiped out just like that?

Moreover, it is said that Lin Xiao, the leader of the Eternal Alliance, did not make a move from beginning to end.

The ones who wiped out the Dark Territory were just his sixth-tier subordinates... no, it's said that some of them have already broken through to the seventh tier.

This news made all those in power uneasy.

They began frantically gathering intelligence on the Eternal Alliance, and the more they gathered, the more alarmed they became.

They swept through more than 100 small and medium-sized territories in three days.

Two new seventh-ranked individuals.

More than ten sixth-tier combatants.

And that mysterious leader who is said to have already formed a divine kingdom.

If such a power is allowed to continue expanding, it won't be long before the entire region falls under its control.

At that time, their territories will either surrender or perish.

There is no third way.

Thus, an unprecedented alliance began to brew in secret.

---

One month later.

At the border of the Eternal Alliance's territory, a massive force is tearing through space and slowly approaching the core area.

The team consisted of nine square formations, with a figure radiating terrifying pressure floating at the center of each formation.

Those were nine seventh-rank individuals.

Behind them were eighteen sixth-tier warriors and tens of thousands of fifth-tier and fourth-tier warriors.

Wherever this team passed, space trembled, rules twisted, and even the clouds in the sky were torn to shreds by the immense pressure.

This is a joint force composed of all surrounding powers to launch a punitive expedition.

They have only one goal—

Completely eliminate the Eternal Alliance.

---

Border outpost.

A fifth-tier member stared in horror at the massive formation in the distance, his hand trembling as he pressed it against the alarm rune.

The moment the runes lit up, the entire Eternal Alliance knew the news.

Conference room in the high tower.

Everyone gathered together.

Lin Xiao sat in the main seat, listening calmly to Zhuge Duo's report.

"Nine are at the seventh rank, eighteen are at the sixth rank, and countless others are at the fifth and fourth ranks."

"Among their seventh rank, all of them are seventh rank without a divine kingdom."

"Even so, this lineup is far beyond our current capacity."

Zhuge Duo's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

Xingyan continued, "My prediction shows that if we confront them head-on, our chances of winning are less than 10%."

"But if we stick to the alliance, our chances of winning can increase to around 40%."

Lin Xiao nodded without speaking, but was thinking:

"These guys are so careless... it seems they don't know my territory is my divine kingdom, otherwise they wouldn't have stepped into my alliance territory like this!"

Even Lin Xiao hadn't expected that this united force would step into his divine realm.

"Well, let them try it themselves this time..."

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then glanced at everyone present.

Zhuge Duo, seventh rank, SSS-level destiny.

Star Evolution, Rank 7, SSS-level prophecy.

Yunxi, sixth rank, SSS-level fortune, is just one step away from the seventh rank.

Nelly, at the peak of the fifth rank, with SSS-level fortune control, is not far from recovering to the sixth rank.

Zhao Da, a sixth-tier, SSS-level talent sword immortal, is only one step away from the seventh tier.

PPSS, Tier 6, SSS-level talent: Infinite Firepower.

Marikis, Tier 6, SSS-level Mist, mysterious and unpredictable.

Sikong Xinyou, Rank 6, S-level Divination.

Lü Qiao, Tier 6, A-rank Berserker.

These are all the core combat forces of the Eternal Alliance at present.

Nine seventh-tier individuals are not someone they can easily handle, judging from the current situation.

Moreover, there are eighteen sixth-tier soldiers and tens of thousands of troops.

"To hold fast to the divine kingdom is indeed the safest option."

Lin Xiao finally spoke, her voice as calm as if she were discussing the weather.

"But this is not what I want."

Everyone was taken aback.

"To hold one's ground means to be passively attacked, and it means to hand over the initiative to the enemy."

Lin Xiao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the approaching Allied forces in the distance.

"The fact that they dared to come shows that they are afraid."

"They are afraid that we will continue to expand, afraid that we will become stronger, and afraid that one day we will come knocking on their door."

"Therefore, they chose to take the initiative."

"This just proves that we're on the right track."

He turned around and looked directly at everyone.

"However, passive defense is not my style."

"I want them to know that daring to attack the Eternal Alliance was the worst decision they've ever made."

"I will make sure they never return."

The group exchanged glances, all seeing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The leader's meaning is very clear—

beat.

But instead of a head-on confrontation, they will take advantage of the home field of the divine kingdom to achieve the greatest results with the least cost.

"Zhuge Duo, Xing Yan, you are responsible for using the rules of fate and prophecy to monitor every move of the allied forces and find their weaknesses."

"Nelly, you're in charge of using your Luck talent to provide a boost to our every attack."

"Others—"

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Zhao Da and Bobo Sha and the others.

"Be prepared and strike at any time."

"But remember, your goal is not to kill the seventh-tier enemies, but to deplete their strength and disrupt their formation."

"As for those nine seventh-tier individuals—"

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

"You can deal with them too! But... we need to prepare!"

---

three days later.

The allied forces have reached the border of the Eternal Alliance.

The commander-in-chief of the allied forces was an elderly orc of the seventh rank, named Ancestor Blazing Sun, who controlled the rare rules of the blazing sun.

He hovered in mid-air, gazing at the seven-colored halo that enveloped the entire alliance, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"The Kingdom of Gods..."

He murmured to himself.

Although he had heard that the leader of the Eternal Alliance had gathered a divine kingdom, seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel immense pressure.

That layer of seven-colored halo, though seemingly thin, contained immeasurable power of rules.

Rushing in rashly will definitely result in a huge loss.

Lin Xiao deliberately reduced the area covered by the divine kingdom in order to lure them deeper.

"Pass down the order: set up camp on the spot and arrange the formation."

"We will surround them without attacking, and then take them down in one fell swoop when their resources are exhausted."

However, that very night—

An anomaly has occurred.

A violent fluctuation of the rules suddenly erupted on the east side of the allied camp.

The three sixth-tier guards were horrified to find that the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and countless colorful threads surged out from the ground, instantly binding them.

The threads, like living things, burrowed into their bodies, devouring their power of rules, and then—

The three of them turned into three dried-up corpses and fell to the ground.

On the west side, Lü Qiao rushed into the camp like a red meteor, smashing a tent with a single halberd strike, and then quickly retreated before a seventh-level expert could react.

On the south side, the mist of Marikis silently drifted into the camp, plunging dozens of guards into a hallucination and causing them to turn on each other.

On the north side, Zhao Dayong used countless flying swords to tear open a crack, sucking all three resource storage warehouses into the spatial turbulence.

Overnight, the allied forces lost ten Tier 6 soldiers, hundreds of Tier 5 soldiers, and a large amount of strategic resources.

The Old Ancestor Lieyang was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Despicable! Shameless!"

He roared and led three seventh-tier warriors toward the alliance border.

But just as they were about to rush into the divine realm, a seven-colored light surged out from within the divine realm, blocking them from entering.

Lin Xiao's figure slowly emerged in the light.

He stood at the edge of the divine kingdom, calmly looking at the Fiery Sun Ancestor through that barrier.

"Since we're here, why rush to leave?"

The Fiery Sun Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense that although the young man in front of him had only just entered the seventh rank, the fluctuations of rules emanating from his body made even this veteran seventh rank man feel uneasy.

Is this the power of the Kingdom of God?

"Lin Xiao!"

The Old Ancestor of Blazing Sun roared, "You have annexed surrounding territories without cause, disrupting the regional balance. We have come here today to demand an explanation!"

Lin Xiao smiled.

"statement?"

His voice was as calm as if he were chatting casually.

"Isn't the rule of the Mist World simply survival of the fittest?"

"I am strong, so I will annex them."

"You are strong, so you come to attack me."

"Isn't that fair?"

The Old Ancestor of Blazing Sun was speechless.

Because what Lin Xiao said was true.

This is how the world of mist has operated since ancient times.

The strong are respected, and the weak are prey.

There's no logic to it.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

With a wave of his right hand, the Old Ancestor of the Blazing Sun condensed a small sun in his palm, radiating a heat that could melt everything.

"Let's do it!"

Three seventh-tier beings attacked simultaneously, unleashing four devastating attacks towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao did not dodge.

He simply raised his right hand and waved it lightly.

Seven-colored light surged from within the divine kingdom, forming a barrier that blocked all four attacks.

Then, he withdrew his right hand and disappeared into the light.

"If you've got the guts, come in and fight."

His voice came from within the divine realm, tinged with mockery.

The old ancestor of the blazing sun had a grim face, but dared not rush in.

Inside the divine kingdom, that was Lin Xiao's domain.

Going in would be suicide.

"withdraw!"

He gave the order through gritted teeth.

The four retreated back to camp.

For the next month, the two sides were deadlocked.

The allied forces dared not attack the divine kingdom rashly, and could only station themselves on the periphery, attempting to starve out the Eternal Alliance.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Alliance took advantage of the God Kingdom's home ground by constantly sending out small teams to harass the allied forces, keeping them constantly on the move.

Every day, the coalition forces suffer new losses.

Every day, several sixth-tier individuals perish, dozens of fifth-tier individuals die, and hundreds of fourth-tier individuals are reduced to dust.

The old scorching sun's face grew uglier day by day, but he was helpless.

And at this crucial moment—

Within the Eternal Alliance, a series of violent fluctuations in the rules erupted.

That's a sign of a breakthrough.

At the top of the tower, Yunxi sat cross-legged, her body surrounded by a surge of emerald green creation rules.

She finally reached the threshold of the seventh level.

Inside the battle space, Lü Qiao, covered in blood, was engaged in a fierce battle with a phantom formed from rules.

That was an opponent that Lin Xiao had specially arranged for him—a seventh-order rule projection.

After three days and three nights of arduous struggle, he finally found an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Within the Sacred Realm of Creation, Nelly closed her eyes and concentrated, a pale golden aura of fortune forming around her.

She has finally recovered to the sixth rank and has even faintly touched upon an even higher realm.

Besides, there's Poposha, Marikis, Sikong Xinyou, Zhao Da, Uther...

Everyone's aura was rising rapidly.

As the final surge of energy dissipated, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Two newly promoted to the seventh rank—

Yunxi, Lüqiao.

Three peak sixth-tier individuals—

POPSA, Marikis, Sikong Xinyou.

And Zhao Da and Nelly, who are only one step away from the seventh rank.

At this moment, the strength of the Eternal Alliance more than doubled.

Lin Xiao stood up and looked in the direction of the Allied Forces' camp.

"Now, it's time to take the initiative."
