Novels by Legendary Daoist

Galastar had calmed.The Sect had not.Rumors spread like fire— about the black doppelgänger, the sky shattering, and the white flame that erased a monster no one could properly describe.Kai’s name was whispered across corridors.The new Sect—The Path of Equilibrium— tripled in size within days.New faces trained in the halls. Ships from nearby planets landed hourly. Pilgrims arrived seeking the “Storm Sovereign.”But Kai?Kai spent most of those three days standing on the balcony of the upper Spire, watching the stars.He wasn’t avoiding people.He was listening.Because somewhere far beyond this galaxy… the Evermind was recalculating.And he could feel its attention like a cold finger dragging across the back of his skull.Sylvia approached quietly, a mug of something warm in her hands.“You haven’t slept,” she murmured.Kai smirked. “Did I ever?”She slid the mug into his hand anyway.“You haven’t blinked in about ten minutes either.”“Monitoring the parameters.”She groaned.

The void outside Galastar dimmed.Not because the stars faded— but because something darker stood between them.A silhouette.Humanoid. Still. Perfectly motionless in the pitch-black space.But every system in the region screamed warnings as it appeared.Sirens echoed across starships. Holographic dashboards displayed corrupted alerts. Navigation sensors froze.Even Galastar’s planetary shields vibrated— as if something was pressing fingers against the very fabric of space.Sylvia looked up from the Sect’s platform.“What… is that shape?”Kai didn’t blink.“That,” he said quietly, “is me.”And as the words left him, the shape in space opened its eyes.A pair of blank crimson screens glowed in the dark— and the void cracked like a mirror struck by a hammer.Sahra stepped forward, fists clenched. “No way. That’s an Evermind puppet—”“No,” Kai said.“It’s an Evermind prediction.”Mandy shivered. “A what now?”Kai’s voice dropped lower.“They tried to make a version of me based

The galaxy around Galastar drifted into uneasy calm.But calm in the void is never peace.Kai slowly descended with Sylvia, Mandy, Sahra, and Simon toward the Sect’s upper platform. The Galactic Order ships circled far above—keeping their distance, broadcasting muted alarms across every channel.But they weren’t approaching.They were watching.Not with military caution.With deep, primordial fear.When Kai’s feet touched the floating obsidian of the Sect’s rooftop, the Order’s flagship sent a single message:“LEVEL UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED. WE WILL MAINTAIN DISTANCE.”Mandy scoffed. “Yeah, no kidding.”Sahra crossed her arms. “They watched him stand against that thing. Of course they’re afraid.”Sylvia was still pale. She walked to the railing, looking over the city below—where crowds had gathered, staring upward with awe and terror.“Kai…” she said quietly.“What did that Sovereign do to space?”Kai didn’t answer.Because above them—far above them—stars flickered like a low pulse.Th

The crack in space widened.Not like shattered glass……but like skin tearing open to reveal bone.Light bled out—black light, the negative of stars. The nearby Evermind shards stopped mid-flight. They did not think, fear, or hesitate.They froze.Even Sahra, watching from the Sect balcony miles below, felt her heart stop. “That… isn’t possible.”Serion staggered backward, pale as starlight. “He cannot be here. Not here. Not NOW.”Mandy grabbed him by the collar. “WHO?”Serion’s voice cracked—a thing that had never happened, not once.“The Unwritten Sovereign.”Sylvia felt cold spread down her spine. “Kai—get AWAY from it!”Kai didn’t move.Because he couldn’t.Not from fear.Not from paralysis.But because the thing in the crack had already locked onto him.A single black tendril slid out.Thin. Weightless. Almost gentle.Until—The entire galaxy dimmed.The Evermind vanguard retreated five hundred kilometers instantly—something they had never done in their entire recorded existence.

Galastar had no night cycle, yet the sky dimmed.Not because the planet rotated—but because something vast moved behind the light.Kai felt it first.He was on the balcony of the Sect Spire, overlooking the sprawling city that had grown beneath them in only weeks. His followers—hundreds now—filled the streets, the courtyards, the training rings, the meditation terraces. Lanterns of pale blue qi hung in strings between new-built towers. Crystals hummed. Airships drifted overhead with banners of the Equilibrium Sect.Everything was peaceful.Until the stars flickered.Kai straightened, eyes narrowing. Behind him, Sylvia stepped out, brushing loose strands of silver hair from her face.“Kai? You froze.”“I know,” he said softly. “Something’s coming.”Sylvia followed his gaze upward.The faint shimmering band of the galactic core swayed—like something enormous brushed past it, muffling its light.“That’s not a natural distortion,” Sylvia whispered.Kai said nothing.His hand clenched the

Far above the Sect, out among the drifting trade routes and the neon-lit space lanes, voices whispered.A new Domain had risen.A new power had formed.A new Sovereign had arrived—and he wasn’t part of the old galactic hierarchy.Some were intrigued.Some were frightened.Some wanted to ally.Some wanted to test him.And somewhere, hidden behind the veil of black nebulae…Something else took notice.Eyes like dying stars opened slowly.“So… another Architect’s heir emerges.”The darkness rippled with hunger.“Let him build. Let him gather. Let him ascend.”Claws scraped across the void.“When he finishes, I will break him.”The Origin Core pulsed like a second heart inside Kai.Not beating.Not alive.But resonating — a low, cosmic hum that vibrated through his bones whenever he focused on it.Night settled over the Equinox Domain’s floating citadel.The gardens dimmed, lantern-spores drifting lazily in the air.The marketplaces had gone quiet; the last ships had docked.It was the pe
