While the Nine Immortal Peaks of the Eternal Sect were bathed in a silence so profound it felt like the breath of a sleeping god, the rest of the known universe was burning with a feverish intensity. Within the pocket of space-time Huai had carved out, thousands of disciples were consolidating their breakthroughs in a tranquil paradise. But outside that veil, across the vast expanse of the Human Federation, a single name was rippling through the stars like a solar flare: The Divine Physician.
The Grand Hall of the Human Federation
On the capital planet of the Federation—a world-sized city of chrome and light—the atmosphere in the Central Debate Chamber was explosive. Thousands of high-ranking officials, planetary governors, and medical geniuses from a hundred different galaxies were shouting over one another, their holographic projections flickering in agitation.
"It is impossible!" roared a General from the Iron-Blood Galaxy, his fist slamming onto a table made of concentrated starlight. "The Withered Heart Plague is a forbidden death sentence! It doesn't just kill the body; it rots the very foundation of the soul! For ten thousand years, we have quarantined entire star systems to contain it. Now you're telling me some nameless wanderer in the frontier cured it with a flick of his wrist?"
"The data doesn't lie, General," a Chief Medical Officer replied, his voice trembling as he swiped through a series of complex genetic strands projected in the air. "The patients from the Red Lotus sector haven't just recovered; their spiritual foundations are stronger than before. This isn't just medicine. This is a rewrite of the laws of life and death."
A physician who was researching forbidden disease said , " I reasearched that disease for 1000 of years , but couldn't find a cure at all .even before me there were countless researches who researched that disease but to no avail. This person is not so simple as we think...."
A pill emperor revered as the venerable of the nine- flame said , " did you guys saw the composition of the 5th grade drug that he donated to humanity, that drug was so perfect that even for me I can't produce a pill with 100% of its effect ."
Someone said beside him, " yes I tested that medicine on a patient with the withered heart disease."
" He get cured around 50 % by a single medicine, maybe just giving him one more can cure him fully."
Everyone looked at the guy who said those words, but to see it was a renowned general of human federation whose son in law suddenly feel ill a few years ago , he tried many ways contacted many physician to see no result . Now they know why , his son in law was infected by the withered heart disease.
Everyone looked at him in pity , but now that they have the cure of this disease they have hope once again...
The room fell into a stunned, fearful silence. To cure a forbidden disease was to challenge the natural order of the universe. Whoever this person was, they held the power to render the Federation's most feared bio-hazards obsolete.
The Void of Sovereigns
Far above the bickering of bureaucrats, in a dimension draped in perpetual twilight, thirteen colossal thrones sat in a perfect circle. These were the Thirteen Shadowy Sovereigns, the absolute rulers of the human galaxies, beings whose individual power could extinguish suns.
"The balance is shifting," a voice echoed through the void, sounding like grinding tectonic plates. It was the Sovereign of the North Star. "A variable has appeared. One that can touch the forbidden."
"We must possess him," another whispered, her form a swirling mass of violet nebula. "If this 'Divine Physician' can cure the Withered Heart, what else can he do? Can he extend the lifespan of a Sovereign? Can he mend a cracked Void-Core?"
"Agreed," a third figure said, standing up. "I have already sent my shadow-scouts to the Red Lotus Galaxy. We will find his sect, we will find his name, and we will bring him to the Center."
Another voice said ," don't act recklessly, we should win him over by our generosity not by the intimidating him using power ."
A voice as gentle as calm lake said , " I agree too , sometimes showing your power can bring the most worst outcome possible."
"You should know those betrayers are also loves in the society, if they found out and win him over then it'd be a huge lost for human federation."
Some said , " yes , but at first let's check the record of the guy . If we know more about him there's be more chance to get him join us ."
Evryone nodded.
The Wall of the Goddess
The thirteen Sovereigns simultaneously reached out with their divine senses, weaving their consciousness into the Akashic Records—the universal data stream managed by the Federation's core AI. They sought a single name: Shen Huai.
But as their collective will surged toward the data banks of the Red Lotus Galaxy, they didn't find the information they sought. Instead, they hit a barrier of pure, blinding white light. It was a restriction so absolute that even their combined might couldn't leave a scratch on it.
From the center of the light, a feminine silhouette materialized. She was beautiful, cold, and radiated a power that made even the Sovereigns feel a chill of insignificance. It was Nexus, the consciousness of the Human Federation itself.
"Cessation," Nexus commanded, her voice vibrating through the Sovereigns' souls. "This path is closed."
" The information you are trying to find is restricted."
"Danger ! Danger ! Danger!"
" Nexus goddess is giving you a warning for your forced entry, the file is encrypted with the highest security order ."
The Sovereigns recoiled in shock. "Nexus?" the Sovereign of the North Star gasped. "You are interfering? We are the guardians of humanity! We have the right to know the identity of a potential Grade-S threat!"
Nexus's eyes, filled with rotating binary code and ancient star-maps, fixed on them with terrifying indifference. "Every Sovereign has the right to protect special assets," she stated flatly. "This specific citizen is saved and shielded by my own internal power within the Human Federation Headquarters. His profile is now a Universal Forbidden Secret."
" This individual is special in it's own way ."
"Why?" the Violet Nebula Sovereign demanded. "Nexus, you have never shown interest in a single mortal in ten million cycles! Why this man? Who is he to you?"
"He is the one who did what you could not,"
" He founded the medicine and even treatment method that can cure the forbidden disease THE WITHERED HEART PLAGUE. In just last few centuries we lost total 4.3 million people in our human federation to this disease.
In past we don't know just how many people died to this disease."
" If those extraterrestrial races found out about this person , his name would be on the main list to eliminate ..."
Nexus replied, her form beginning to fade back into the light. "He is the Divine Physician. And until he chooses to step into the light of the Federation, he remains under my mantle. Do not attempt to breach this wall again, or I will consider it an act of rebellion against the Federation Core."
The Legend Unleashed
The Sovereigns were left in a stunned silence. They know it clearly what Nexus said all are true .Nexus, the impartial judge of the universe, was acting as a personal bodyguard for a single man. This revelation didn't dampen their curiosity—it turned it into an obsession. If Nexus was protecting him, he wasn't just a physician; he was a treasure that surpassed the value of entire galaxies.
Within hours, the news leaked. It couldn't be stopped.
From the glittering high-rises of the Core Worlds to the muddy trenches of the outer-rim mining moons, every human being with a communication device heard the story. They spoke of a man who wore the stars in his robes, a man with a red mark on his brow who could pull a soul back from the abyss of the Withered Heart.
"The Divine Physician has appeared," the commoners whispered in awe.
"A god of life walks among us," the soldiers muttered in prayer.
The name Shen Huai was not yet known, but his title was burned into the collective consciousness of humanity. He had become a myth while still alive—a beacon of hope for the trillions suffering from incurable ailments and a target of infinite desire for the powerful who feared death.
The Peace of the Eternal Sect
Back in the Emerald Mist Valley, the "Universal Forbidden Secret" himself was sitting on his obsidian throne, his eyes closed in a light meditative state. He was unaware—or perhaps simply indifferent—to the fact that the greatest powers in the universe were currently having a collective meltdown over his existence.
Around him, the sect was a picture of perfect tranquility.
Yue Hua and her elders were in their cultivation areas in the time tower, weeping with joy as they realized the "wood-element tea" they were drinking was slowly repairing decades of hidden cultivation damage.
Gu Xuan and the Peak Masters were in deep meditation, their new Soul Transformation foundations hardening into something indestructible.
The Disciples were asleep or meditating, their breaths synchronized with the mountain's pulse.
The Eternal Sect was a small, silent island in a raging ocean of galactic chaos. To the outside world, they were a ghost, a mystery protected by the highest power in the Federation. To those inside, they were the only true sanctuary in existence.
Huai slowly opened his light brown eyes. The cosmic phenomena in the hall slowed their rotation, as if waiting for his command. He felt the sincerity of his disciples and the growth of his sect, and a small, enigmatic smile played on his lips.
"The wind is rising outside," Huai murmured to the empty, star-filled hall. His voice was gentle, but it carried an edge of cold certainty. "Let the world debate and the Sovereigns wonder. Here, under my peaks, time belongs only to us."
He waved a hand, and the holographic screen of the System appeared before him, showing the progress of the Serene Willow disciples within the Time Tower. He wasn't looking at the galaxy; he was looking at his foundation. For Shen Huai knew a truth the 13 Sovereigns had yet to learn: Medicine can cure a body, but power preserves a legacy.
Standing at the absolute apex of the Eternal Peak, Shen Huai looked out over a landscape that was no longer a terrestrial mountain range but a celestial masterpiece of his own creation. Below him, the eight elemental peaks pierced through a sea of glowing, iridescent clouds, each radiating its own unique aura: the Fire Peak pulsed with a deep, rhythmic crimson glow like a beating heart, while the Wood Peak shimmered in a vibrant emerald aurora that seemed to breathe with the rhythm of life itself. Bridges of solid, crystalline light arched gracefully between the summits, connecting floating islands where waterfalls of liquid spirit energy cascaded into the abyss, only to evaporate into a shimmering mist of Ancient Qi. In the quiet valleys between, the ivory-stone residential spires of the disciples glowed softly like pearls under the starlight, and the entire sect hummed with a low, harmonic resonance—a symphony of power and peace that confirmed his status as the architect of a immortal realm.
The "Divine Physician" was ready. And soon, the universe would realize that his ability to save lives was only matched by his ability to dominate them.
