Under threat from Skull Clan members who demand they leave, someone defiantly kisses a zombie to stop the interference. That act triggers a system countdown and announces the Host has recruited the first disciple, Ivy Young. Reward text shows Ivy's rank jumping from C to S and grants the cultivation method Spatial Shift. Ivy addresses the Sect Master, thanking him—only S-rank zombies can speak, she explains. The system then reveals the Sect Master is an SS-rank superhuman, stunning witnesses. A bystander asks, "what rank superhuman are you?", leaving the Sect Master's power and Skull Clan's reaction unresolved.
