Grey restores Xia Qingyue's soul to peak 6th Rank with his Saintly Halo and transmits his custom 5th Rank Nexus evolutionary path, independent of the Origin Will. She anchors to the Summit of Nexus and begins forming her first Nexus Cell using her soul power as a substitute. The path's realms—Source Cell, Frequential Helix, and Source Singularity—methodically forge the Source into a higher-dimensional structure, promising immense power.

Ripples of frequential power swirled around Xia Qingyue while six Nexus Cells glowed brilliantly near her form.

"Grey," she uttered, her face etched with total bewilderment. "Where did you discover these realms? They exist nowhere in this universe."

"Don't fret too much," Grey responded, flashing a confident grin. "I'm just built different."

"Uh-huh." Xia Qingyue stood speechless.

During his second metamorphosis, she had questioned whether he could truly shine as a genius across the boundless starry sky. But now, he appeared before her as the trailblazer of a superior path he'd carved out himself, utterly surpassing all his contemporaries. Not even the fabled thirty-year-old prodigies could rival his present might.

His Nexus Saintly powers let him enhance anyone nearby. Even more horrifying, he could transform innate flaws into utter perfection. The demonic devils he'd summoned and reshaped into sacred Nexus Angels stood as perfect proof.

Beyond that, he clearly shared a profound bond with the Heavenly Dao. She had sensed the tremors firsthand. The connection was beyond doubt.

"Congratulations on stepping onto my path for real. Now you can roam the universe without your soul fading away," Grey said with a casual laugh.

"I truly don't know what to say," Xia Qingyue murmured, still in shock. "Does this mean I'll have to wait for you to create the 6th Rank yourself before advancing?"

"Yep," Grey affirmed with a nod. "I must thoroughly examine the 6th Rank first. But now I have numerous supreme experts for inspiration, so it won't be long."

"Now that we've covered that, what's your next move?" Grey cocked his head and inquired. "You could join me and the others in the Dragon World if you like. Or are you thinking of pursuing revenge since you're back in fighting shape?"

"Revenge... huh?" A bitter expression crossed Xia Qingyue's face as painful memories surged. "I'm afraid revenge won't be straightforward. Not with my current strength, nor even at my peak."

She locked eyes with Grey. "Have you heard of the Immortal Sovereign Palace?"

"Who's that?" Grey inquired, utterly unaware.

"That's where I come from. I was born and raised there. The Immortal Sovereign Palace stands as a supreme faction outside the main alliance. They follow alliance rules loosely but possess enough power to thrive without aid." Xia Qingyue offered a faint, sour smile. "Two 8th Rankers oversee the palace."

"Two 8th Rankers? Fascinating," Grey remarked, truly taken aback. "Then why didn't I spot them when I reached the world's edge?"

"They harbor deep grudges against the human ancestors in the alliance. Should all-out war erupt, my palace's ancestors might fall, but the widespread destruction would be devastating. Thus, a tenuous peace holds," she clarified. "For revenge, I'd need to take down those 8th Rankers. They're like the Daoist Palace in stature. I simply lack a way to confront them."

"Can you share the exact events that sparked this grudge?" Grey asked with curiosity.

Xia Qingyue went quiet. "I don't want to discuss it..."

"If you keep it bottled up, do you intend to hold it in forever until the universe fades?" Grey urged softly.

"I wish I could." Tears welled in Xia Qingyue's eyes. "What would you do if your fiancé betrayed you, plotting your parents' murder to claim palace power? What if no one believed your innocence, not even the ancient ancestor who raised you?"

Her eyes brimmed with tears as fresh sorrow emerged.

"Oh," Grey nodded, understanding dawning. "So that's how it is."

"I was the top disciple in the sect, with my parents serving as acting Palace Master and Mistress. Then they welcomed a branch family youth with innate sainthood and a mighty immortal physique. He was exceptionally kind to me, treating me warmly and venturing through the starry sky together."

"I regarded him as far more than a mere friend in the past. I believed he was the person I could trust with my entire life. However, it proved to be nothing but a devious scheme. He conspired in secret with the palace's corrupt elders to overthrow my parents, labeling them as betrayers. The Immortal Sovereign Palace claims utmost orthodoxy. They charged my family with allying with a hostile alien race, accusing us of revealing the supreme cultivation techniques and permitting the aliens to breach the palace premises. A ferocious battle unfolded over four nights and five days. Ultimately, the elders refused to trust my parents and slew them without hesitation."

"This Soul Nourishing Jade alone preserved my lingering spiritual essence," Xia Qingyue concluded, her face etched with profound bitterness.

Despite her thousands of years of existence, she remained fundamentally human. Her heart could still shatter into pieces.

"Don't fret. I'll simply ask the human ancestors to utterly demolish the Immortal Sovereign Palace on your behalf," Grey assured her, flashing a confident thumbs up.

He effortlessly retrieved his cosmic phone. The 8th Rankers had provided it to him previously, already equipped with their personal contact numbers for immediate connection.

"You... what?" Xia Qingyue stood completely stunned by his laid-back demeanor.

"I'm merely expressing my gratitude fittingly. You supported me greatly during my stay on Blue Star. I won't ever forget it," Grey stated with a gentle smile while dialing the number.

Ring! Ring!

"The call arrived quicker than anticipated. What do you need from me, Grey?" The Yellow Ancestor's thunderous voice resounded through the speaker.

"I harbor a fierce grudge against the Immortal Sovereign Palace. Could you wipe it out for me?" Grey inquired, his face expressionless as he gazed at the screen.
