Joe Di was enveloped by endless Way Intent. He could clearly sense his injuries rapidly fading, and at the same time, his understanding of the Path of Laws was being perfected.
For him, the more complete his Path of Laws, the better. What he pursued was the most perfect Grand Way and the most flawless cultivation method.
Precisely because of this, after losing a leg, what he thought about most was obtaining the best Celestial Relic to restore his physical body.
But today, he finally understood—there is no such thing as perfection in the Grand Way. There is only existence and nonexistence.
As long as it exists, it is reasonable—it is the Grand Way! His Path of Laws is no exception.
Even imperfection is a kind of cosmic rule. Between heaven and earth, there is no such thing as flawless perfection.
Not only physical imperfection—even if one's Way Intent is incomplete, it is still a rule, still a Way.
At this moment, Joe Di clearly felt the Ninth World once again being perfected. Even the World Tree radiated a joyful aura, instantly growing from one zhang to dozens of zhang tall.
A calm joy welled up in Joe Di's heart. He had always taken from the World Tree—every time he was injured, it was the World Tree that nourished him. Now, he finally understood: everything in the universe is mutual. Even if the World Tree was planted by him, depended on his world to survive, and even regarded him as its master, that did not mean the World Tree could only be taken from and never give back.
Today, his Grand Way was finally perfected...
No, it should be said that his Grand Way had finally reached its second stage of perfection. As his Grand Way advanced to this second step, the rules of the Ninth World were simultaneously perfected. Under this perfected world of Grand Way rules, the World Tree's further growth was only natural.
Boom! A roar erupted in his Spiritual Sea, which, after recovery, rapidly expanded. Without hesitation, Joe Di grabbed several Supreme Ley Lines, and swallowed the remaining Spirit Marrow Essence without a second thought.
At this moment, Joe Di's aura grew ever more formidable.
Boundless Genesis Realm aura condensed, and the spiritual energy from the Supreme Ley Lines formed a vortex, which instantly enveloped Joe Di and again formed a giant cocoon.
Rona Grace and the others did not cultivate; they only kept retreating, shocked as they watched the blurry waves of Way Resonance before them. Everyone nearby could feel the impurities in their bodies being constantly cleansed, giving their entire body a sense of lightness.
All the villagers of Galor Village knelt down. Even if they were fools, they now understood that the transformation of Galor Village was not due to that massive meteorite statue, but to Joe Di standing before them.
The swirling light of Way Resonance made them unable to look up; they could only kneel in worship.
Only Rona Grace stared blankly at Joe Di. She knew that, no matter what she said, she would not be leaving Galor Village with Joe Di.
She had always firmly believed in equality among people, but when the gap reached a certain extent, could equality still exist? At this moment, not to mention others—even she herself began to doubt.
The only one who understood cultivation, Advisor Nate Easton, was already trembling. He had always suspected Joe Di was stronger than him, but he had never imagined Joe Di was this powerful.
The dense spiritual energy here—how could it be from any ley line? It was clearly brought by this powerful figure before them. Just looking at the dozen or so ley lines he tossed out made him feel dizzy.
Even if he wasn't cultivating, his cultivation was rapidly rising, soon breaking through Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. He hadn't even considered forming a Golden Core, yet he was already beginning to condense one. What kind of spiritual energy was this?
Advisor Nate Easton felt no joy at his crazily rising cultivation. He only wanted to escape as quickly as possible. But he knew very well that he couldn't leave at all. The other's cultivation aura alone could make his power surge like this—where could he possibly run?
He could only kneel on the ground, praying just like the other villagers.
Crack! The bones and meridians throughout Joe Di's body crackled, and his Stellar Nexus was once again perfected. Only after a long while did the aura of Way Resonance around him gradually dissipate.
After Joe Di put away the dozen Supreme Ley Lines, he returned to his original appearance.
After realizing that the Way is never perfect, Joe Di had stopped thinking about restoring his severed leg. Yet now, his leg had naturally recovered.
Joe Di did not feel that he was more perfect now than when he was missing a leg. Gazing at the vast void, he knew clearly that, if he wished, he could leave this realm at any time.
Traveling from a higher realm to a lower realm is not simple, but going from a lower realm to a higher realm is quite easy.
Moreover, Joe Di understood that, with his current comprehension of the Grand Way, even traveling from a higher realm to a lower one would be effortless.
This was truly his own Way—this was the direction he sought.
He truly hadn't expected to step into the Genesis Realm on a mortal planet.
Joe Di turned around and saw the villagers kneeling, not daring to raise their heads. Only Rona Grace gazed at him in a daze.
"Rona Grace, I come from a distant place, but sadly, I cannot take you with me." Joe Di walked up to Rona Grace, speaking apologetically.
It wasn't that he couldn't take Rona Grace with him, but rather that he had no reason to do so.
"Brother Di, I know..." Rona Grace didn't know if she was speaking to Joe Di or murmuring to herself. "You've recovered—I am not worthy to leave with you."
Joe Di didn't know how to respond to Rona Grace. He knew it wasn't for the reason she said.
"Brother Di, I only hope that one day I might have a chance to see you again—even if that chance is one in a billion, it would be enough." Rona Grace's face was pale; Joe Di's breakthrough to Genesis Realm had cleansed all her impurities, making her even more beautiful.
Of course Joe Di understood what Rona Grace meant—she was saying that fate had treated her unfairly. If she had a chance and lost it, so be it. But fate had given her no chance at all; without a chance, how could she strive?
"Rona Grace, you do have a chance—not necessarily to see me, but perhaps, through your own efforts, to behold the vast universe. Maybe one day, you will encounter me in the cosmos. And remember what you said: in this universe, none of us are lesser than anyone else." As Joe Di finished, he inscribed a Spirit Mark deep within Rona Grace's Way Intent.

There, he left behind a Pocket World. If Rona Grace can one day cultivate to the Golden Core Realm on this mortal planet, she will obtain the Pocket World and have the chance to cross into the vast void.
If Rona Grace cannot even reach the Golden Core here, then she will always remain in this place with the Pocket World. Just as she said, she deserves a chance to see the universe.
......
When Rona Grace awoke, Joe Di was long gone, and even the Imperial Advisor had disappeared. Her eyes were red; no matter how hard she tried to hold back, she couldn't stop the tears from falling. In the end, Brother Di didn't choose her, the village girl, to take away from here.
"Rou'er, we're not people of his world. We're just mountain folk from Galor Village..." Her father, who had always watched over her, understood her feelings. Ever since he recovered, she had gone out searching for the man named Joe Di.
But that Joe Di must be an immortal from beyond the heavens, separated from them by an unimaginable distance. He hoped his daughter would wake up soon and stop dreaming unrealistic dreams.
Just as Rona Grace was about to speak, she suddenly froze. She felt countless things in her mind, so vivid they seemed carved into her consciousness.
It must have been left by Brother Di—he was a cultivator, and her mind was now filled with cultivation methods and the path to higher realms...
"Rou'er, don't overthink it." Her father didn't know how to comfort his daughter; seeing her stunned and in tears, he could only tell her not to dwell on it.
Suddenly, Rona Grace sprang up, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes. "Father, I'm going to find him."
