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

In the Eternal Alliance's miniature universe, Lin Xiao and Nelly's figures emerged from the void.

Neither of them looked too good.

Lin Xiao was still injured, and the surface of his miniature universe was covered with cracks, which were the marks left by the impact of the power of the core of the God of Mist.

Although Nelly was well protected by Lin Xiao, her face was extremely pale, and her right hand was always pressed against her heart, where the resonance power was several times stronger than before.

Zhuge Duo rushed forward immediately, the threads of fate flowing wildly around her.

When she saw the two of them looking so disheveled, her heart sank.

"What happened? What happened to you?" she asked anxiously.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and briefly recounted what had happened on Fallen God Island.

The truth about cosmic consciousness, the origin of the Mist God, the fragment of the Mist God within Nelly, and their adventure to delve into the core of the Mist God.

When Zhuge Duo heard that they had ventured deep into the core of the God of Mist, his expression turned serious.

"You took too much risk," she said in a deep voice, a hint of lingering fear in her tone. "If the God of Mist had fully awakened back then, you wouldn't have made it back at all."

Lin Xiao shook his head: "He won't wake up. The cosmic consciousness said that it will take him at least another year to fully wake up."

"But that's not the problem."

He paused, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"The problem is, the God of Mist has discovered us."

Zhuge Duo frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Lin Xiao explained, "While I was analyzing the core structure, my consciousness penetrated deep into the sphere of light. At that moment, the God of Mist discovered us. Although he wasn't fully awake, his consciousness had already locked onto us."

"To be precise, he's got his eye on Nelly."

Nelly's body trembled slightly, and silver light swirled around her, attempting to suppress the increasingly intense resonance in her heart.

"He's calling me..." she whispered, her voice heavy with emotion. "I can feel it. He's calling me to come over... He wants to devour me... to make me a complete part of him..."

Zhuge Duo's destiny rules were operating at full speed, deducing the possible consequences of this event.

"The God of Mist will send people to capture her," she said. "And he will send very strong ones."

Lin Xiao nodded: "That's what I think too. There's a small fragment of the God of Mist inside Nelly. If the God of Mist can devour her, his power will recover faster, and he might even awaken earlier."

"Therefore, he will definitely send someone to capture Nelly."

Zhuge Duo took a deep breath, suppressing her nervousness: "Then what do we do? Hide Nelly?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It can't be hidden. The Misty World is his home turf. He can sense Nelly's location. No matter where we hide her, it's useless."

"The only way is to fight off the people sent by the Mist World."

He turned around and looked into the depths of the Eternal Alliance.

"From this moment forward, the entire Eternal Alliance is on high alert!"

"All members cease training and return to their combat posts. The patrol teams will be expanded tenfold, and the defensive arrays of the miniature universes will be operational 24/7!"

Zhuge Duo nodded: "I'll go arrange it right away."

Lin Xiao stopped her: "Also, notify all members above level seven to assemble in the council hall one day from now. I need to redeploy the defense system."

Zhuge Duo responded and turned to leave.

Lin Xiao stood at the edge of the miniature universe, his gaze piercing through layers of space and piercing into the depths of the misty world.

His omniscient rules were operating at full power, capturing the changes in the auras of the eight ninth-tier beings belonging to the Misty World.

Currently, all eight auras appear calm and show no unusual activity.

But Lin Xiao knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Since the God of Mist has already targeted Nelly, he will definitely send someone to help.

Moreover, the people they send will definitely not be weak.

"Come on," he murmured, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."

One day later, in the council chamber.

All members of the Eternal Alliance above the seventh rank were present. Forty-five seventh-rank experts, along with Lin Xiao, Zhuge Duo, Yun Xi, Zhao Da, and other seventh-rank combatants, filled the entire council hall to capacity.

Lin Xiao stood in the main seat, the Omniscient Rule operating at full power, sweeping over everyone present.

"A day ago, Nelly and I went to Fallen God Island." He got straight to the point and briefly recounted what had happened.

When they heard about the core of the God of Mist and that Nelly had fragments of the God of Mist inside her, everyone present changed their expressions.

"Therefore, the God of Mist will definitely send someone to capture Nelly," Lin Xiao continued, his voice calm and firm. "Moreover, the person sent will not be weak. It's very likely that they are at the ninth rank, or even more than one."

The Wheel of Reincarnation stepped forward, its grayish-white power of reincarnation flowing around it.

"Alliance Leader Lin Xiao, just tell us what you need us to do."

Lin Xiao nodded: "I need all of you to prepare for battle. People from the Misty World could arrive at any time, and we must engage them immediately."

"In addition, I need to redeploy the defense system."

He raised his right hand, and seven-colored light gathered in his palm, transforming into a huge star map.

On the star map, the Eternal Alliance's miniature universe is marked as the center, surrounded by defense nodes in dozens of star systems.

"These nodes are the key to the miniature cosmic defense array," Lin Xiao said, pointing to the nodes. His voice was clear and calm. "Each node requires at least one seventh-tier expert to guard it. If a node is breached, the entire defense system will collapse."

"So your task is to guard these nodes."

His gaze swept over everyone present, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"No matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how fierce the battle is, we cannot lose the key points."

"Because if the defense system collapses, the entire Eternal Alliance will be exposed to enemy attacks. At that time, billions of warriors and countless lives will become targets for the enemy."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Forty-five voices rang out simultaneously, shaking the entire council hall.

Lin Xiao nodded, then looked at the eight survivors with SSS-level talents.

"The eight of you have another mission."

Zhuanlun and the others exchanged glances, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.

Lin Xiao continued, "Your SSS-level talents can play a huge role on the battlefield. Therefore, instead of guarding nodes, you will serve as a mobile force to support the most dangerous battlefields at any time."

"Especially you, Shi Yan."

Shi Yan's silver pupils lit up slightly.

Lin Xiao looked at him, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "Your talent for time is our greatest trump card."

"In battle, you need to find the right moment to use time stop to change the course of the battle, even if it's only for a few seconds, it's enough."

Shi Yan nodded, a confident smile playing on his lips: "Leave it to me."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and scanned everyone present with his eyes once again.

"Alright, everyone get ready! Remember, the enemy could come at any time, so we can't afford to be careless."

Everyone responded in unison and turned to leave the council hall.

Lin Xiao stood in the empty hall, the Omniscient Rule operating at full power, capturing every subtle change in the atmosphere deep within the misty world.

His intuition told him that the command from the God of Mist had been issued.

He, however, must be fully prepared.
