A bad future must stop Yuan Feng; how the future will be is not something a dream can decide.

This sentence is awkward. Literally: "A bad future cannot not stop Yuan Feng; how the future will be is also not something a dream can decide." Probably meaning: "A bad future cannot fail to stop Yuan Feng; how the future will be is also not something a dream can decide." We'll translate: "A bad future cannot but stop Yuan Feng; how the future will be is also not something a dream can decide."

Better: "A bad future cannot but stop Yuan Feng; how the future will be is also not something a dream can decide."
