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

Above the territory of the Eternal Alliance, the Seven-Colored Divine Kingdom Barrier slowly rotated, enveloping the entire territory.

At the top of the tower, Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze from the depths of the void and looked down at the territory below.

The battle is over.

The eight branch cults sent by the Dark Erosion Order were all wiped out.

Mo Yuan, the eighth-rank sect leader, has fallen.

Seven seventh-level sect leaders and twenty vice sect leaders all perished.

Of the more than 200,000 believers, not one survived.

The price the Eternal Alliance paid was zero.

Zero casualties.

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

Because he knew this was just the beginning.

The real storm is yet to come.

"Zhuge Duo".

He spoke softly.

Behind her, Zhuge Duo's figure slowly emerged. Her face was still pale, a consequence of overexerting the rules of fate, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Alliance Leader."

"Calculate battle losses, comfort the wounded, and sort out the spoils of war."

Lin Xiao's voice was calm and clear.

"I want to see a complete postwar report within three days."

Zhuge Duo nodded and said, "Understood."

She turned and left, leaving Lin Xiao standing alone at the top of the tower.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked into the depths of the void.

There, the figure of the Golden King was slowly descending.

He is in very poor condition.

The golden divine kingdom has shrunk to one-third of its original size, and the surfaces of those dazzling golden artifacts are covered with cracks, some of which have even shattered completely.

His face was pale, his breathing was rapid and disordered, and there were traces of black blood at the corners of his mouth.

Those are the scars left by the rules of devouring.

Lin Xiao raised his hand and waved it, and seven-colored light surged out from the divine kingdom, enveloping the Golden King within it.

That was the power of a healing item enhanced to the seventh rank through the Universal Divine Art. Although it was not as miraculous as Yunxi's Creation Rules, it could still help the Golden King stabilize his injuries.

The King of Gold landed beside him and nodded slightly.

Thank you.

Lin Xiao shook her head: "I should be the one thanking you."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the King of Gold.

"How are you?"

The King of Gold gave a wry smile: "I won't die, but I'll still need some time to recover."

He raised his head and looked into the depths of the void, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Mo Yuan is dead, but the Dark Eclipse Cult still has nine top-ranking branch cults. Moreover—"

He paused, his voice lowering slightly.

"As I said before, the will of the Mist God has already been half awakened."

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and then he nodded to himself.

The omniscient rules had long ago detected that faint, almost imperceptible, spying.

"Your Excellency, the King of Gold..."

He asked softly.

The King of Gold shook his head, interrupting Lin Xiao's question: "That is not an opponent you can face yet! Not to mention you, even I am nothing but an ant in front of Him."

He turned around and looked at Lin Xiao, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Be prepared, this victory will only enrage them further. The retaliation to come will be far more devastating!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

"I know."

------

Deep within a world shrouded in mist.

In the midst of eternal darkness, a colossal palace floats suspended.

The palace was formed from pure dark rules, and was pitch black, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Every brick and stone in the palace is engraved with ancient runes, which are constantly being created and destroyed, each creation and destruction signifying a cycle of rules.

Deep within the palace, nine figures sat atop a dark throne.

Yama, the leader of the first branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

Styx, the leader of the second branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

The leader of the third branch of the Dark Erosion Cult, the destroyer of the world.

Void, the leader of the fourth branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

The leader of the fifth branch of the Dark Corruption Cult, Abyss.

Eternal Night, leader of the sixth branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

Twilight, the leader of the seventh branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

Deep Space, leader of the ninth branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult.

The leader of the tenth cult of the Dark Erosion Cult, the Other Shore.

Nine people, eight ranks.

Nine divine kingdoms.

Nine auras powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Above them, an even greater will was slowly awakening.

That is the will of the God of Mist.

On either side of the will of the God of Mist stood eight figures even more terrifying than the leader of the Dark Eclipse Order.

"The Eighth Division was completely wiped out."

Enma's voice was deep and hoarse, like an echo from hell.

"Mo Yuan is dead, and the other twenty vice leaders of the branch sect are dead. There are also over two hundred thousand followers—all of them are dead!"

His gaze swept over everyone present, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"And the price that Eternal Alliance paid was—zero."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence.

Styx frowned slightly, surrounded by dark, illusory river shadows—the embodiment of Styx's rules.

"The King of Gold has made his move."

He said softly.

"If it weren't for him, Mo Yuan's mission would have been completed long ago!"

With a cold snort, the rules of destruction surged around him, transforming into countless fine black lightning bolts.

"The King of Gold... that coward from a million years ago has now become tough."

Void shook his head, his figure appearing and disappearing in the void as if he might vanish at any moment.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. The key question is, what's next?"

The Abyss remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "His Majesty's will has been half awakened, and His command is—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Completely eradicate the Eternal Alliance! Sacrifice those survivors as soon as possible! And—"

"Eliminate all forces associated with the Eternal Alliance!"

A cold glint flashed in Yongye's eyes: "To make an example of someone?"

Dusk nodded: "That's right, let the entire Mist World know that His Majesty's will is inviolable."

"What about the more than three billion survivors?"

"Open all the four-directional barriers; the misty world no longer needs to be divided into region after region!"

"As for the survivors... let's wait until His Majesty is fully awake before sacrificing them!"

"Once the mission is complete, Your Majesty will completely devour the will of this universe, becoming an existence beyond the tenth rank, and ultimately transcending this universe!"

At this point, all nine cult leaders gave a sinister smile.

Then Yama stood up, and the Dark Kingdom slowly unfolded behind him.

"Then it's settled."

His gaze was fixed on the distance, piercing through the endless void, and landing in the direction of the Eternal Alliance.

"Second Branch Church, Fourth Branch Church, you go."

"There is only one goal—"

"That means destroying all allied forces of the Eternal Alliance!"

"Let those ants see what happens when they ally with the Eternal Alliance."

Styx and the Void stood up at the same time.

"clear."

In an instant, the two figures disappeared into the darkness.
