Ch. 101Civilization's Halt Is a Sin; Stagnation Is Death
Zhang Cheng used the last of his strength to confront Huo Yuhao, sharing his memories and urging his daughter, Dai Ruoheng, to move forward without hatred. Dai Ruoheng awakened, rejected Huo Yuhao's submission to the gods, and clashed with him as space shattered around them.
- Zhang Cheng used his final power to awaken Dai Ruoheng and told her he was proud of what she had accomplished.
- Huo Yuhao struck with the first two forms of the Haodong Three Ultimates, while Zhang Cheng answered with the Red Flame Blade and the memories of his life.
- Zhang Cheng's blade shattered as his attack canceled Huo Yuhao's second strike, and Zhang Cheng disappeared.
- Dai Ruoheng regained consciousness and declared that civilization's stagnation was humanity's greatest sin.
- Dai Ruoheng confronted Dai Yuhao over kneeling before the gods and met his final Haodong Three Ultimates strike with her greatsword.
- Space shattered at the point of impact, and Dai Ruoheng opened her eyes with her feet planted on the ground.
