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

Half a month is but a blink of an eye for a seventh-level expert.

However, for the power structure of this region, half a month is enough to bring about earth-shattering changes.

When Lin Xiao finally awoke from the digestion of the divine kingdom, the power distribution in the entire region had been completely reorganized.

What were once hundreds of small and medium-sized territories have now been reduced to three large centers of power.

The Southern Elemental Orc Tribe Alliance has three Tier 7 members, twenty-seven Tier 6 members, and countless members below Tier 5.

The Shadow Council of the East has four members at the seventh rank, thirty-four at the sixth rank, and a vast number at the fifth rank and below.

The free city-states of the West have five members of the seventh rank and forty-two members of the sixth rank, with each race having a population exceeding one million.

Beyond these forces, there are more than a dozen powerful clans further away. Although they do not directly border the Eternal Alliance, they have absorbed a large number of fugitives, and their strength has made a qualitative leap compared to before.

Especially the three strongest ones.

The Frost Giant Tribe, the Fire Dragon Clan's territory, and the Dark Elf Kingdom.

Each of them has more than ten seventh-tier powerhouses.

The Frost Giants tribe originally had only five seventh-tier members, but after absorbing some escaped ice-type tribes, the number of seventh-tier members surged to twelve.

The Flame Dragon Clan's territory originally had seven seventh-tier members, but after absorbing various sub-dragons and some flying races, the number of seventh-tier members reached fifteen.

The Dark Elf Kingdom originally had six seventh-tier members, but after absorbing the Shadow and Darkness-type fugitive groups, the number of seventh-tier members also reached fourteen.

The three factions each have more than ten seventh-tier members.

With the addition of the three emerging powers—the Orcish Horde Alliance, the Shadow Council, and the Free City-States—the total number of Tier 7 individuals in this region has exceeded fifty.

This is an extremely terrifying number.

It should be noted that in the original situation in this region, seventh-tier powerhouses all acted independently and rarely joined forces.

Now, under pressure from the Eternal Alliance, they have been forced to unite.

It has even become a place similar to the Wood Soul Domain and the Dark Sun Forest.

Conference room in the high tower.

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

"...Currently, the three closest forces to us—the Elemental Orc Horde Alliance, the Shadow Council, and the Free City-States—have officially formed a defensive alliance."

"Although this alliance is still very loose, they will definitely join forces to deal with us once we launch an attack."

"The frost giants, fire dragons, and dark elves further afield, while not having made any official statements, are all closely monitoring the situation. If our expansion threatens their interests, they are likely to intervene."

After Zhuge Duo finished speaking, she closed the report in her hand.

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Xingyan glanced at the crystal ball in his hand, then turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Although we are extremely powerful, expanding is still somewhat difficult with so many forces united."

Lin Xiao nodded without saying anything.

The omniscient rules have already taken all this information into account.

He knew the strength and movements of those forces even better than Zhuge Duo and Xing Yan.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Because he could sense that his divine kingdom had reached a certain state of saturation.

This does not mean that the Kingdom of God cannot expand further, but rather that it needs to be digested, stabilized, and settled first.

Just like a person who has eaten a full meal needs time to digest and absorb the food before they can continue eating.

The nine seventh-tier beings devoured in the previous sealing war, along with the territories subsequently integrated, brought a tremendous boost to the divine kingdom.

According to Lin Xiao's own estimation, the size of his current divine kingdom is at least four times that of the solar system, which is almost measured in light-years.

But this also brought several problems. One of them was that he felt the oppressive force from the misty world.

"Indeed, this misty world is the divine realm of the Mist God!"

"Although I don't know why, it seems to have lost some control over the divine realm..."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao subconsciously glanced at Nelly, then looked away.

Another problem is that his integration of the rules is not yet deep enough.

Those newly incorporated rules are still like a pile of loose sand, scattered in various corners of the divine kingdom, and have not truly become one with the divine kingdom.

Lin Xiao needs time.

It takes time for these rules to settle, for them to deeply integrate with the divine kingdom, and for them to truly become one's own power.

"Temporarily halt expansion."

Lin Xiao finally spoke, her voice calm and clear.

"For the next period of time, we will focus on internal development."

He looked at everyone present.

"Zhuge Duo, you are responsible for managing the newly integrated territories and establishing a sound administrative system."

"Xingyan, you are responsible for monitoring the movements of surrounding forces. Report any abnormalities immediately."

"Yunxi, you are responsible for using the rules of creation to accelerate the life cycle within the divine realm, so that the newly integrated lands can adapt as quickly as possible."

"Lü Qiao, Zhao Da, you are responsible for training the newly joined soldiers and improving the overall combat effectiveness of the alliance."

"PPSh, continue developing new weapons and equipment, especially those targeting seventh-tier powerhouses."

"Marikis, you are responsible for infiltrating surrounding forces, gathering intelligence, and creating chaos if necessary."

"Sikong Xinyou, you are in charge of setting up defensive formations, especially in the border areas, making sure they are watertight."

"Uther, you are responsible for calming down the newly joined groups and using the Holy Light to purify any negative rules they might bring."

"Nellie, you are responsible for using your fortune-telling talent to monitor the overall fortune of the divine kingdom. Issue an immediate warning if any anomalies are detected!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Lin Xiao stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.

There, the boundaries of the three emerging forces were clearly imprinted in his mind.

He could sense that three, four, and five seventh-level experts from those three forces were gathered together at this moment, discussing something tensely.

They are discussing the Eternal Alliance.

They are discussing Lin Xiao.

They were discussing how to deal with this terrifying adversary.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"Let them worry."

"We have plenty of time."

In the days that followed, the Eternal Alliance entered an unprecedented period of stable development.

Under Zhuge Duo's guidance, the newly incorporated territories gradually established a comprehensive administrative management system.

The previously chaotic order began to become well-organized.

The newly joined groups gradually lowered their guard under Uther's reassurance.

They discovered that in the Eternal Alliance, as long as the rules were followed, they could receive relatively fair treatment.

Those initially conflicting emotions gradually transformed into acceptance.

After all, in the world of mist, the primary goal of each race is survival.

Yunxi's rules of creation circulate endlessly within the divine realm, allowing the lands eroded by the rules of death to regain their vitality.

Plants are growing, animals are reproducing, and even the air has become much fresher.

In PPSh's laboratory, all sorts of new weapons are constantly being developed.

He not only upgraded his own mech, but also designed a batch of standard equipment for some of the alliance's sixth and fifth tier members.

Although those equipment were not as powerful as his mech, they were enough to increase the strength of ordinary members by 30%.

Sikong Xinyou's talismans are spread throughout the entire border.

Some of those talismans were responsible for early warning, some for defense, and some for counterattack.

Anyone who tries to sneak into the divine kingdom will be discovered immediately and then attacked by the talismans.

The mists of Marikis have silently seeped into some factions.

Every day, new intelligence was delivered to Zhuge Duo's desk.

The internal movements of those forces, the whereabouts of those seventh-tier powerhouses, and the hidden conflicts and rifts.

Everything is under the control of the Eternal Alliance.

Nelly's aura of fortune always enveloped the entire divine realm.

She could sense that the fortune of the divine kingdom was steadily rising.

Although slow, it continues.

Like a towering tree that is growing.

half a month later.

When Lin Xiao stood atop the tower once more, the entire divine kingdom had been completely transformed.

Those newly incorporated rules have now become deeply integrated with the divine kingdom.

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

All nine rules have now become his power.

Although each one still needs further refinement, at least in terms of quality, it has reached the level of the seventh tier.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao also discovered that he seemed to have gained new abilities within the divine kingdom.

It's like Lao Tzu's concept of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones".

He can also differentiate himself into clones of the same rank based on each rule.

This discovery filled Lin Xiao with immense joy.

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

The feeling was like a building whose foundation has finally been laid, and construction can begin.

Lin Xiao withdrew his senses and looked into the distance.

The three seventh-tier powerhouses from the emerging forces were still watching this side with tension.

But Lin Xiao knew that this calm wouldn't last long.

Just now, the Omniscient Rule detected an anomaly.

In the distant depths of the void, a hidden will is awakening.

That is the will of the God of Mist.

Moreover, along with the awakening of that will, countless powerful auras are approaching in this direction.

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

"Has it finally arrived?"

He murmured to himself.
