Chapter 435 The Crystal of the Golden Soul Domain

three days later.

The Eternal Alliance Tower Conference Room.

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

"Earth Soul Domain..."

Zhuge Duo paused as soon as she began her report, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Indeed, there is very little information about it. All that is known is that the Earth Soul Domain disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, but the specific reasons are unknown."

"I even asked some elders of the Rainbow Cloud Clan, but they all remained tight-lipped about it and were unwilling to say more."

Her brows furrowed even more.

"It's as if... some force is deliberately erasing that history."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

Disappeared?

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.

Golden light poured in from outside the door, illuminating the entire hall.

The figure of the King of Gold walked in.

His face was still somewhat pale, as the injuries he sustained in the battle with Mo Yuan had not yet fully healed, but his mental state had improved considerably.

Golden power of rules flowed slowly around him, each ray of light containing a chilling pressure.

"I heard you're inquiring about the Golden Soul Domain?" The Golden King looked at Lin Xiao, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and a slightly upturned smile on his lips.

Lin Xiao stood up, nodded slightly, and said decisively, "That's right, I need the territory crystal of the Golden Soul Domain."

The King of Gold was slightly taken aback, then laughed.

The smile was hearty, as if he had heard something interesting.

"What do you want the territory crystal of the Golden Soul Domain for?" He walked to the round table, sat down in the chair opposite Lin Xiao, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment.

The omniscient rules were rapidly working in his mind; he was weighing, thinking, and judging.

But in the end, he chose to trust.

He raised his head, looked directly at the King of Gold, and then spoke out his premonition in detail.

The discovery of the Five Elements cycle.

A conception of a miniature universe.

Hope for something independent of the world of mist.

"...If I can gather all five elemental soul domains and integrate them into my divine kingdom, then the Eternal Divine Kingdom may form a complete five-element cycle, endlessly generating and inexhaustible."

He paused, his voice becoming even more resolute.

"That will no longer be an ordinary divine kingdom, but a miniature universe."

Upon hearing this, a hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the King of Gold.

"A miniature universe..."

He repeated those words softly, lost in thought.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao.

Do you know what this means?

Lin Xiao shook his head: "I'd like to hear the details."

The King of Gold took a deep breath, slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the Eternal Kingdom.

The seven-colored barrier slowly swirled, enveloping the entire territory.

Within the barrier, countless creatures were busy at work: some were farming, some were cultivating, and some were building new homes. It was a scene of prosperity and vitality.

"In the Misty World, all the divine kingdoms exist in dependence on the Misty World." His voice was soft, yet it carried an indescribable heaviness.

"They are like branches and leaves on a big tree. Although they have their own shapes, they can never do without the nourishment of the big tree."

"The roots absorb nutrients, the trunk transports energy, and the branches and leaves can grow. Once separated from the tree, the branches and leaves will wither."

He turned around and looked at Lin Xiao with piercing eyes.

"But the microcosm is different—it is an independent entity! It has its own root system, its own cycle, and its own energy source. It can be self-sufficient, self-circulating, and does not depend on any external forces."

"In other words..." he paused, then said, word by word, "If your Eternal God Kingdom can truly evolve into a miniature universe, then you will possess the ability to escape the Mist World. Even the God of the Mist will not be able to easily destroy your God Kingdom then."

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

Escape the world of mist.

This is exactly what he has been pursuing.

From the first day he entered the misty world, he knew that this was a cage.

A cage personally crafted by the god of mist.

All living beings are prisoners in a cage.

All evolution is for the purpose of providing nourishment for the cage's owner.

Now, he sees hope in breaking free from his cage.

The King of Gold looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"If that's the case, then what is there for me to hesitate about?"

He raised his right hand, palm up.

Golden light gathered in the palm of his hand, eventually transforming into a palm-sized golden crystal.

The crystal was entirely golden, with densely packed regular runes flowing across its surface, radiating a faint aura of power.

"This is the territory crystal of the Golden Soul Domain."

The King of Gold handed the crystal to Lin Xiao.

"From this day forward, the Golden Soul Domain is yours."

Lin Xiao accepted the crystal, feeling the immense power of the rules contained within it, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

Thank you.

The King of Gold waved his hand: "No need to thank me. I have only one request—"

He paused, his gaze becoming deep.

"Once your divine kingdom evolves into a miniature universe, let me go and live there too."

"I've had enough of this godforsaken place!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly: "Definitely."

Just then, two more figures walked into the conference room.

Heavenly Venerable and Phoenix Flame.

Both of them looked unwell, as the grief of losing their homeland had not yet completely dissipated.

But their gazes toward Lin Xiao remained full of trust.

"Alliance Leader Lin Xiao," the Heavenly Venerable spoke first, "I heard you need the territory crystals of the Five Elements Soul Domain?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "That's right."

The Celestial Venerable took a deep breath and took out a jade-green crystal from his robes.

The crystal was entirely emerald green, radiating a rich aura of life.

"This is the territory crystal of the Wood Soul Domain." His voice was a little hoarse.

"Although the Wood Soul Domain has been destroyed, I have always carried the territory crystal with me. The core rules of the Wood Soul Domain contained within it should be useful to you."

Lin Xiao accepted the crystal and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Celestial Venerable."

Feng Yan also stepped forward and took out a crimson crystal from his pocket.

The crystal was fiery red all over, and it seemed as if flames were burning inside, radiating a scorching aura.

"This is the territory crystal of the Fire Soul Domain," Feng Yan said.

"Although the Fire Soul Domain is gone, this thing still exists, and I hope it can help you."

Lin Xiao accepted the territory crystal of the Fire Soul Domain, feeling the fire rules contained within it, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire.

The fourth of the five elements has now gathered.

Now only one more thing is needed—

Earth Soul Domain.

Lin Xiao raised her head and looked at the people present.

"Earth Soul Domain..."

He spoke softly.

"Does anyone know anything about the Earth Soul Domain?"

Silence fell over the meeting room.

The Celestial Venerable and Phoenix Flame exchanged a glance, both seeing the complexity in each other's eyes.

The King of Gold frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, the Celestial Venerable finally spoke.
