### Summary
Following the complete destruction of the Northern Heavenly Sect's ruins, readers express deep sorrow over Jin Mu-Won's loss of his home and the physical records of his sect's techniques. This catastrophic event is widely seen as the conclusion of the story's prologue, setting the stage for a new arc and prompting speculation about a significant time skip. While the loss is tragic, some find a positive aspect in the outcome, reasoning that Jin Mu-Won is now the sole and secure inheritor of his family's martial arts, with no physical evidence left for outsiders to discover. Amidst the anticipation for what comes next, including the hope that he will forge a new sword from a "space rock," a key uncertainty lingers: the fate of Eun Ha-Seol's hostile vice captain. Readers question whether he survived the conflict and, if so, when he might reappear to expose Jin Mu-Won's concealed skills. The chapter marks a definitive turning point, forcing the lone warrior to move forward with his heritage now entirely resting on his shoulders.
