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

The news of the coalition's annihilation quickly swept across the entire region like a storm.

Those territories that had previously observed and those forces that had previously hesitated all fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Nine seventh-rank soldiers were wiped out.

Of the tens of thousands of soldiers, less than 30% escaped and returned.

The Eternal Alliance, however, paid no price.

No one knows the specifics of that sealed-off war, but from the fleeing Allied soldiers, everyone heard the same name.

Lin Xiao.

The leader of the Eternal Alliance who never personally took action from beginning to end.

His ten seventh-tier subordinates alone wiped out nine veteran seventh-tier warriors.

And what about himself?

No one knows just how strong he really is.

But now everyone knows that his divine kingdom covers the entire territory of the Eternal Alliance.

At the top of the tower, Lin Xiao looked down at the territory below, the omniscient rules spreading in all directions like an invisible tide.

Within a radius of tens of millions of miles, the distribution of all forces that could be seen through the barrier was now clearly visible in his mind.

Those territories that were originally eager to make a move are now all cowering within their own borders, not daring to make any unusual moves.

Some of the weakest have even started packing their belongings and preparing to relocate.

"Zhuge Duo".

Lin Xiao spoke softly.

Behind him, Zhuge Duo's figure slowly appeared.

"Alliance Leader."

"For the next period of time, large-scale expansion will cease."

Zhuge Duo was slightly taken aback, but then nodded: "I understand."

Lin Xiao turned around, her gaze deep.

"It's not about stopping expansion, but about changing the approach."

"There's no need to conquer those small territories one by one."

"We need to let them choose for themselves: either join the alliance or leave this area."

"As for those medium-sized territories..."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Let them be nervous for a while."

A flash of understanding crossed Zhuge Duo's eyes.

This is intended to put pressure on surrounding forces, forcing them to make choices out of fear.

This option is often more effective than military conquest.

Sure enough, for the next two weeks, the entire area fell into an eerie calm.

Those small territories that were still hesitant made their decisions almost overnight after learning detailed intelligence about the annihilation of the allied forces.

Some sent people overnight to deliver surrender documents, expressing their willingness to join the Eternal Alliance, only asking to preserve the heritage of their tribe.

Some simply abandoned their territories, which they had cultivated for many years, and migrated with their entire clans, fleeing to more distant and deeper areas shrouded in mist.

Meanwhile, those mid-level territories with several sixth-tier warriors were embroiled in fierce internal disputes.

Some advocated surrendering, believing that the Eternal Alliance was unstoppable and that surrendering sooner would bring peace of mind.

Some advocated for a united front, arguing that if all the medium-sized territories united, they might be able to withstand the challenge.

Others advocated fleeing, arguing that the area was no longer safe and that it was better to find another place.

The debate resulted in three different options.

Some territories chose to surrender.

Their lord, along with his core members, personally came to the Eternal Alliance to express their submission to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao accepted them, but on only one condition: that they bring the territory crystals from their territory and integrate their territory into the Eternal Divine Kingdom.

Although the lords were heartbroken, they knew this was an inevitable outcome.

The moment their territory merged into the divine kingdom, they finally understood Lin Xiao's true strength.

The feeling of being watched by the entire divine kingdom, the feeling of having one's life and death completely out of one's own hands, filled everyone with awe.

More territories chose to unite.

They abandoned their individual territories and concentrated all their forces in a few of the strongest large territories, banding together for mutual support.

Within just half a month, three new centers of power emerged in this region.

One is the Elemental Orc Tribe Alliance, which is a union of seventeen different orc tribes, such as the Fire Fox Tribe, the Wind Sparrow Tribe, the Earth Bull Tribe, and so on.

They have three seventh-tier experts and more than twenty sixth-tier experts.

One is the Shadow Council, composed of various dark-attribute races, with four seventh-tier powerhouses and more than thirty sixth-tier powerhouses.

Another is the Free City-State, which is a union of several races such as humans, elves, and dwarves. Although the races are diverse, it is the most powerful, with five seventh-tier powerhouses and more than forty sixth-tier powerhouses.

Each of these three forces possesses at least three seventh-tier members and dozens of sixth-tier members, making them far stronger than any single territory before.

Further afield, powerful clans that were originally unrelated to them have also seen their strength expand rapidly by absorbing a large number of fugitives.

Lin Xiao's omniscient rules clearly captured all of this.

He neither intervened nor made any statement.

I simply observed, recorded, and analyzed quietly.

Because his divine kingdom is currently at a critical saturation point.

The nine seventh-tier rules devoured in that sealed battle are now being slowly digested deep within the divine kingdom.

Scorching sun, corrosion, ice crystals, lightning, storm, sharpness, gravity, illusion, curse.

Nine rules, nine entirely new power systems.

Lin Xiao needs time to fully integrate these rules into the divine kingdom.

It will also take time for the structure of the Kingdom of God to become more stable and complete.

"Half a month."

He murmured to himself.

"It should be about ready in about two weeks."

Beneath the tower, the territory of the Eternal Alliance is quietly expanding.

Those territories that surrendered were incorporated into God's Kingdom, one after another.

With each one he merges into, the scope of the divine kingdom expands, the density of its rules increases, and Lin Xiao's power grows stronger.

The territories that chose to flee left empty spaces that were quietly occupied by the Eternal Alliance.

No fighting, no killing, just a quiet advance.

The borders of the Kingdom of God are like a slowly expanding giant net, encompassing more and more land.

half a month later.

Lin Xiao opened her eyes, and a flash of seven-colored light disappeared in her pupils.

The digestion of the Kingdom of God is complete.

Those nine rules were now all integrated into the divine kingdom, and at the same time became part of his power.

Although each one is only in the initial stage of integration, far from reaching the level of the Sun Ancestor's hundreds of thousands of years of mastery, the qualitative change brought about by the superposition of the nine rules is something that no one can ignore.

More importantly, the structure of the divine kingdom has become more stable.

Those territories that were incorporated are now completely integrated with the Eternal Alliance, indistinguishable from each other.

The indigenous people who were incorporated into the territory gradually adapted to life within God's kingdom.

They discovered that cultivating within the divine realm was at least 30% faster than in the outside world.

They discovered that the rules in the Kingdom of God were clearer and easier to understand.

They discovered that as long as one is loyal to the alliance, one can gain the protection of the divine kingdom and even receive the blessing of the power of the rules.

Gradually, the initial resistance disappeared, replaced by identification with the divine kingdom and reverence for Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao glanced at the alliance interface and discovered that, without his knowledge, the alliance's member limit had been lifted.

Lin Xiao stood atop the tower, overlooking this increasingly prosperous land.

Lin Xiao could clearly sense that the seventh-tier experts from those three forces were currently watching the direction of the Eternal Alliance with bated breath.

They are waiting.

Waiting for Lin Xiao's next move.

And Lin Xiao—

He looked away, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"No rush."

He said softly.

"Let them be on edge for a while longer."
