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

The debate continued in the council chamber.

Wheel of Reincarnation and Heavenly Flame insisted on taking the initiative, believing that the longer they delayed, the stronger the God of Mist would become.

Yan Huang and Ye Chen advocated holding the line and waiting for reinforcements, believing that it was too risky to attack now and that they should wait until more people broke through to the ninth rank.

The argument between the two sides grew increasingly heated, with some even turning red in the face.

Lin Xiao stood in the main seat, the omniscient rules operating at full capacity, listening to everyone's opinions and analyzing everyone's reasons.

He knew that both sides had valid points.

Taking the initiative could indeed disrupt the God of Mist's plans and delay his awakening.

But the risk is too great; if they fail, the Eternal Alliance will be wiped out.

Holding out and waiting for reinforcements may be safer, but time waits for no one.

Four months later, the God of Mist will be fully awakened.

By then, even if the Eternal Alliance has more ninth-tier members, they probably won't be a match for him.

After all, the difference between the tenth and ninth tiers cannot be made up for by quantity.

"That's enough," Lin Xiao said, her voice loud and clear.

The argument in the council hall fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to him.

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over everyone present, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"I know everyone has their own considerations."

"There are advantages to taking the initiative, and there are reasons to hold the line and wait for reinforcements."

"But we have to make a choice."

He paused, then continued, "My decision is—"

He was speaking when his pupils suddenly contracted.

The omniscient rule issued a strong warning.

Enemies are coming.

Moreover, there is more than one.

There are nine.

Eight ninth-tier beings, plus the incarnation of the God of Mist.

They are flying towards the Eternal Alliance at an extremely high speed, their aura incredibly strong.

"They're here," Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, a hint of coldness in his tone.

Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.

"Who?" Zhuge Duo asked, even though she already knew the answer.

"The incarnation of the God of Mist, and those eight ninth-tier beings," Lin Xiao said, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"They came at just the right time, helping us make the choice."

He turned around, looked at everyone present, and his voice became firm and powerful.

"Everyone, listen up!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"This is not a drill, this is a life-or-death battle!"

"Our homes, our loved ones, our comrades-in-arms, are all behind us!"

"We cannot retreat, because our homes are right behind us!"

"We can't afford to lose, because if we lose, we'll have nothing left!"

"Therefore, we must win!"

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Dozens of voices rang out simultaneously in the council hall, shaking the entire hall.

Lin Xiao nodded, his figure transforming into a streak of seven-colored light as he flew out of the miniature universe.

Behind them, Zhuge Duo, Sikong Xinyou, Zhao Da, Bobo Sha, Wuse, Zhuanlun, Fentian, Yanhuang, Yechen, Cangxuan, Hongmeng, Lüqiong, Shiyan, Shenghui, Shengyan, Shengguang, and ten other eighth-rank experts, along with more than forty seventh-rank experts and billions of warriors, were all ready for battle.

Within the Eternal Alliance's miniature universe, defensive formations were fully activated, and seven-colored light flowed through the void, forming a massive barrier.

Countless runes flowed across the surface of the barrier, each rune representing a rule.

These rules were incorporated into the microcosm by Lin Xiao during his seclusion.

Hundreds of rules intertwine to form an impenetrable defense.

Even a ninth-level attack cannot easily break through this barrier.

Outside the barrier, nine terrifying auras were rapidly approaching.

Leading the group was the avatar of the God of Mist, his grey robes fluttering in the void and his grey hair dancing in the wind.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"The Eternal Alliance..." he said softly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"The last resistance fighters."

"Today is your last day."

Behind him stood eight ninth-rank individuals lined up in a row.

The High Priest, Mist Concealer, Dark Erosion, Frostbite, Soul Devourer, and three other ninth-tier beings.

Eight auras, eight kinds of power, intertwined together, forming a terrifying pressure.

That pressure made the entire void tremble.

Lin Xiao hovered at the edge of the miniature universe, the omniscient rules operating at full power, capturing every fluctuation of those nine auras.

His miniature universe slowly revolved within him, with nine-colored light flowing around him.

His gaze was fixed on the avatar of the God of Mist.

That person is the biggest threat.

Although those eight ninth-tier individuals were quite strong, Lin Xiao was confident he could handle them.

Even now, as the incarnation of the God of Mist, he is not absolutely certain of victory.

"Lin Xiao," the avatar spoke, its voice cold and calm.

"You're very brave to face all nine of us by yourself."

"But courage can't save you."

"Today, you and your Eternal Alliance will die here."

A cold smile crept onto Lin Xiao's lips.

"Is that so? Then we'll see if you have the ability."

The avatar shook its head, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

He raised his right hand, and gray light condensed in his palm, transforming into a huge pillar of light.

The beam of light crashed down on the Eternal Alliance's miniature universe at an astonishing speed.

Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his miniature universe expanded to its full potential, with nine-colored light condensing into a thick barrier in front of him.

boom--!

The beam of light slammed into the barrier, causing the entire void to tremble violently.

Countless cracks appeared on the barrier, and Lin Xiao's body was blasted back hundreds of feet.

But his gaze remained fixed on the avatar, and the power of the miniature universe flowed continuously into the barrier, repairing the cracks.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the avatar.

"Oh? It actually blocked it?"

"That's interesting."

"It seems you've indeed made a lot of progress these past few months."

"But that's not enough."

His figure vanished from the spot and appeared in front of Lin Xiao in the next instant.

Gray light condensed on his fist and slammed down towards Lin Xiao's head.

That punch contained the rules of the tenth rank, the essence of the tenth rank, and the ultimate power of the ninth rank.

Lin Xiao had no time to dodge and could only raise her hands to shield herself.

Nine-colored light condensed in his palm, and the full power of the miniature universe erupted at this moment.

boom--!

The moment the two forces collided, the entire void collapsed.

Lin Xiao's body was blasted away, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His hands were trembling slightly, and countless cracks appeared on his arms.

But his eyes remained largely unmoved as the power of the miniature universe rapidly healed his injuries.

The avatar looked at Lin Xiao, a hint of seriousness flashing in its eyes.

"A kid who just broke through to the ninth rank actually managed to withstand my punch?"

"It seems I underestimated you."

"But from now on, I won't give you another chance."

His aura began to rise rapidly.

Gray light surged around him, transforming into countless gray threads that coiled towards Lin Xiao.

Those silk threads contain tenth-order rules; once entangled, even a ninth-order being cannot break free.

Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his miniature universe operated at full power. Nine-colored light formed a barrier around him, blocking the threads outside.

But there are too many threads, and they are too dense.

The barrier began to crack under the erosion of the silk threads.

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, and the power of the miniature universe poured into the barrier in an attempt to maintain its stability.

But the silk threads were too strong, and the cracks in the barrier became more and more numerous and larger.

Just as the barrier was about to shatter—

A silver light surged from behind Lin Xiao, freezing all the gray threads.

That was the time of Yan.

His power of time played a crucial role at this moment.

Under the influence of time, the gray silk threads slowed down and came to a standstill.

Lin Xiao seized the opportunity, his figure disappearing from the spot as he escaped from the encirclement of the silk threads.

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the avatar, and its gaze locked onto Shi Yan.

"The talent of time..."

"interesting."

"Then let's start with you."

His figure disappeared from the spot as he rushed towards Shi Yan.

Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his figure also disappeared from the spot, blocking Shi Yan's path.

Nine-colored light condensed on his fist and collided head-on with the fist of the avatar.

boom--!

Another exchange of fire.

Lin Xiao's body was knocked back again, but a smile appeared on his lips.

Because he felt it during that strike.

Although the avatar was stronger than him, it wasn't so strong that he was invincible.

As long as he persists, as long as he finds the incarnation's weakness, he has a chance to win.

"Everyone, listen up!" he shouted, his voice echoing in everyone's mind.

"Attack those eight ninth-tier fighters with all your might!"

"Leave this incarnation to me!"
