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

As for now...

He could easily overpower the high priest.

There's no need for a three-day, three-night battle, no need to fight to the death, and no need for schemes and tactics.

Using only a portion of the power of the miniature universe was enough to overwhelm the High Priest, leaving him utterly helpless.

The High Priest's corrupting power is like a drop of water in the face of an ocean compared to his complete system of rules.

The same applies to Mist-Hidden.

Although the Hidden Mist is stronger than the High Priest and has more unpredictable methods, he is still no match for him in his current miniature universe.

The mysterious methods of the Hidden Mist were completely suppressed by the miniature universe, leaving them no room to maneuver.

"In a one-on-one fight, I can easily defeat any one of them," Lin Xiao muttered to himself, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.

"But it would still be a bit difficult to face two at the same time, after all, the cooperation of two ninth-level beings is not a simple one plus one equals two."

"If I face three of them, I'm afraid I'll be at a disadvantage."

"As for all eight of them coming at once..."

He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

In that situation, with his current strength, he still has no chance of winning.

The combined power of eight ninth-tier beings is enough to create enough chaos in a miniature universe to create loopholes in his rule system.

Once the microcosm is breached, he will lose his greatest asset.

However, he still has time.

There are still about eleven months until the God of Mist awakens.

During this time, he can become even stronger.

His miniature universe is still growing, his nine rules are still merging, and his Myriad True Self Rules are still evolving.

Every day, he is getting stronger.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and withdrew his consciousness from the miniature universe.

He has been in seclusion for almost a month; it's time for him to come out.

I wonder what the situation is like with the Eternal Alliance.

With that thought, Lin Xiao flew out from the deepest part of the miniature universe and headed towards the council hall of the Eternal Alliance.

Along the way, he witnessed the changes in the Eternal Alliance.

The seventh-tier powerhouses were patrolling their respective posts. The forty-five seventh-tier powerhouses were distributed across various nodes of the entire miniature universe, forming a tight defense network.

Their auras were more composed than a month ago, clearly indicating that they had not relaxed their cultivation during this past month.

The eight survivors with SSS-level talents are also making the most of their time to train.

Zhuanlun is in seclusion in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Valley, Fentian is absorbing energy near Hengxing, Yanhuang is comprehending the rules in the Five Elements Array, and Yechen is cultivating the power of nothingness in the void.

Cangxuan consolidates the rules of immortality in the Immortal Temple, Hongmeng explores the mysteries of chaos in the Chaos Region, Lüqiong studies the runes of law in the Tower of Laws, and Shiyan adjusts the power of time in the space where time stands still.

The entire alliance was in perfect order, with no signs of chaos.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that Zhuge Duo managed the alliance very well during his month-long seclusion.

The ability to deduce the rules of fate does indeed have a unique advantage in management.

She is able to anticipate potential problems and make arrangements in advance.

Inside the council hall, Zhuge Duo was processing communication requests from various factions.

Threads of fate flowed gently around her, and silvery-white light covered the entire hall like a spider web.

Every piece of information that enters her perception range will be captured, analyzed, and deduced by the threads of fate.

Based on the results of her deductions, she will determine the authenticity of the information, the sender's intentions, and the best way to respond.

This was an extremely tedious task, but Zhuge Duo handled it with ease.

The moment Lin Xiao stepped into the hall, she suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"You've emerged from seclusion?"

Lin Xiao nodded and sat down in the main seat.

"Has anything major happened in the past month?"

Zhuge Duo shook her head: "No, everything has been peaceful during this time."

She paused, then continued, "Ever since we repelled the two ninth-tier forces from the Misty World, the attitude of the resistance forces in other regions towards us has clearly changed."

"In the past, although they were very polite to us on the surface, they still regarded us as a newly emerging small force in their hearts."

"After all, the Eternal Alliance has only been established for a short time and has a shallow foundation, so many people are not optimistic that we can last long."

"But now, they really see us as the main force in the fight against the Mist World."

"Because we have proven that we are truly capable of defeating a ninth-tier being head-on."

Lin Xiao's brow twitched slightly: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Zhuge Duo explained, "In the past month, at least a dozen major forces with eighth-tier experts have extended alliance invitations to us."

"They are willing to send strong people to support us, and they are also willing to share some intelligence and resources with us."

"Several factions have even expressed their willingness to directly merge into the Eternal Alliance, including some ancient races with a history of tens of millions of years, whose foundations are much deeper than we imagined."

Lin Xiao fell silent.

The omniscient rule operates within his consciousness, analyzing the meaning behind this information.

The change in attitude of these forces appears to be due to the Eternal Alliance demonstrating its formidable strength.

Being able to repel two ninth-tier forces is an extremely rare feat in the entire Misty World.

But the deeper reason is probably that they sensed a crisis.

The fact that the Mist World sent two ninth-tier beings to deal with the Eternal Alliance shows that the God of the Mist has completely regarded the Eternal Alliance as a thorn in his side.

If the Eternal Alliance falls, they will be the next to suffer.

That's why they're so eager to align themselves with the Eternal Alliance.

This is about sticking together for warmth and protecting oneself in the face of crisis.

"So how did you reply to them?" Lin Xiao asked.

Zhuge Duo smiled slightly: "I did as you said before, neither refusing nor accepting everything."

"Alliance is possible, but it must first pass our vetting process. I will use the rules of fate to deduce the fate of every faction that seeks to join us, to ensure they have no problems."

"As for merging into the Eternal Alliance... there's no rush. Let's wait until the situation becomes clearer. Absorbing too many forces rashly now might introduce instability."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Well done."

He knew that there might be spies from the Misty World among those forces.

Before thoroughly investigating the matter, one should not easily trust anyone.

Zhuge Duo's approach was prudent, avoiding offending anyone and leaving no potential problems for himself.

For the next three days, everything in the Eternal Alliance proceeded as usual.

Lin Xiao did not rush to make any big moves, but instead used this time to consolidate the insights gained during his seclusion.

He spends several hours each day in the miniature universe, observing the budding life.

That life force was growing stronger and stronger.

Although we are still a long way from true life, it may take hundreds of millions of years before the first single-celled organism is born.

But that vibrant energy gave Lin Xiao a deeper understanding of creating rules.

He saw the essence of life's birth: it was not bestowed by some external force, but rather the result of the natural evolution of rules.

When the rules are complete enough and the environment is suitable enough, life will naturally emerge.

This is a self-organizing process, an inherent law governing the operation of the universe.
