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

An hour later, the council hall of the Eternal Alliance was packed.

All the experts above the seventh rank were present. Forty-five seventh-rank experts, eight survivors with SSS-level talents, and three elders of the Holy Spirit Clan filled the entire council hall to the brim.

Lin Xiao stood in the main seat, his omniscient rules operating at full power, sweeping over everyone present, emanating the aura of a ninth-level being.

The aura was powerful and profound, inspiring a sense of awe in everyone present.

This is not a deliberate act of oppression, but rather the aura naturally emanating from a ninth-tier being.

"First of all, I have some good news to share with everyone," Lin Xiao said calmly.

"I have broken through to the ninth rank."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening cheer erupted in the council hall.

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhuanlun's eyes, a smile appeared on Fentian's face, and a smile also appeared on Shi Yan's lips.

Although Zhuge Duo did not cheer, her eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Great!" Wheel exclaimed, as the gray-white power of reincarnation flowed around him.

"With Alliance Leader Lin Xiao breaking through to the ninth rank, our chances of victory will be even greater!"

Fen Tian nodded: "That's right. With Alliance Leader Lin Xiao's strength, after breaking through to the ninth rank, he should be able to contend with the avatar of the God of Mist, right?"

Lin Xiao shook his head, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Confrontation is possible, but victory is still a long way off."

"The incarnation of the God of Mist, although only possessing ninth-order power, has tenth-order rules and essence."

"He's a level above me in terms of rules."

"It's like this: both are swords, but his is a divine weapon, while mine is just ordinary iron."

Even if the strength is the same, the difference in quality cannot be overcome.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious.

Lin Xiao continued, "Furthermore, I also want to tell everyone a truth."

"About the ninth order, about the tenth order, about the truth of this universe."

His gaze swept over everyone present, and his voice became low.

"In this universe, the ninth rank is already the limit that living beings can reach."

"Because in a single universe, there is only one tenth-order being, and that is the cosmic consciousness."

"The tenth rank is not a rank that can be reached through cultivation, but a rank of the universe itself."

"Cosmic consciousness is the embodiment of the universe, it is the universe itself."

"No living being can reach the tenth rank through cultivation."

A hint of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes.

"What about the God of Mist?" Shi Yan asked. "Why is he only at the tenth rank?"

Lin Xiao explained, "Because the God of Mist is not a being of this universe. He comes from outside the universe, from a much wider and more chaotic void."

"In that void, there exist countless beings like the God of Mist."

"They are powerful, greedy, and never satisfied."

"They devoured universe after universe, plundered the origin of world after world, and then continued on their way."

"Tenth rank is just the starting point for them."

"Above them, there are even stronger beings, and even realms beyond our comprehension."

The council chamber was completely silent.

Shock and fear were written on everyone's faces.

They knew the God of Mist was powerful, but they never expected that the God of Mist was actually one of the weakest beings in that chaotic void.

And how powerful must those even more powerful beings be?

Lin Xiao noticed their fear and continued, "But you don't need to be afraid."

"Because those more powerful beings are far away from us."

"At least for now, they won't affect us."

"The only one we need to face now is the God of the Mist."

"Moreover, we are not without a chance."

A glint flashed in his eyes.

"Before being consumed by me, the cosmic consciousness used its last strength to send me some messages."

"The most important information is about my miniature universe."

"My miniature universe was never an ordinary divine kingdom from the beginning, but rather the prototype of a universe."

"When my miniature universe is complete and powerful enough, I can merge it with this universe, replace the cosmic consciousness, and become a new tenth-order entity."

"By then, I will have enough power to fight against the God of Mist."

Hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes.

"So what should we do now?" Zhuge Duo asked.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"First, we need to determine our next course of action."

"The God of Mist will be fully awakened in four months."

"We must make a choice in these four months."

"It's a proactive move to disrupt the God of Mist's devouring plan."

"Let's hold our ground and wait for reinforcements. We'll take action when we're stronger."

Both of these options have their advantages and disadvantages.

"Therefore, I need to hear everyone's opinions."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Now, let's begin the discussion."

The council hall erupted in chaos.

Everyone was having a heated discussion, and everyone was offering their own opinions.

Zhuanlun was the first to step forward, the gray-white power of reincarnation flowing around him, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"I think we should take the initiative!"

"We cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise; we cannot stand by and watch the god of mist awaken."

"If we strike now, we might be able to disrupt his plans and delay his awakening."

"If we do nothing and wait until he's fully awake in four months, we'll really have no chance!"

Fen Tian nodded, and crimson destructive power surged around him.

"I agree with Wheel's view; let's take the initiative and catch them off guard!"

"With our current strength, we may not be able to defeat the God of Mist, but we can at least cause him some trouble."

"If we can delay his awakening, we'll have more time."

But Yan Huang stepped forward, the five-colored power of the five elements flowing around him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

I disagree.

"Taking the initiative is too risky. Our current strength is no match for the God of Mist."

"His avatars can crush us, let alone his true form."

"If we take the initiative to attack, we are likely to be completely wiped out."

"I think we should play it safe and wait until we have more Tier 9 units before taking action."

Ye Chen nodded, and the dark power of nothingness flowed around him.

"I also think we should play it safe."

"Although Alliance Leader Lin Xiao has broken through to the ninth rank, the rest of us are still only at the seventh and eighth ranks."

"If we could have more ninth-tier units, our chances of winning would be much greater."

The two viewpoints are diametrically opposed.

The debate in the council chamber grew increasingly heated.

While they were arguing, outside the Eternal Alliance, the avatar of the God of Mist was flying towards the Eternal Alliance with eight ninth-tier beings.
