After Wang Han wrapped the guards who were holding Li Sisi and the others in yellow sand and set up a seal, he sucked them into the Divine Might Space and then unlocked the chains on Li Sisi and the others.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Han," Li Sisi said.
"It's a piece of cake," Wang Han nodded and said. To everyone's surprise, he created twenty shadow clones, exactly the same number of people in the room before Wang Han arrived.
"Transformation Technique." After the shadow clones appeared, they formed hand seals and, to everyone's even greater astonishment, transformed into their own likenesses, even the people guarding them also materialized.
"I'll take you away first," Wang Han said, distorting a larger area of space and disappearing from the room with Li Sisi and the others, leaving behind shadow clones that had taken their likenesses. Wang Han still needed to take them to his grave.

Inside the Divine Might Space, after Wang Han absorbed Li Sisi and the others into the space, he said, "You can stay here for the next few days!"
"Brother Wang Han, where is this?" Li Sisi asked curiously, looking at the strange scene around her. It was incredibly eerie; not only was it dark, but the surrounding area was filled with square pillars, and there were dozens of people enveloped in yellow sand. Li Sisi recognized some of them as the Dutch people whose limbs had been crippled by Wang Han. Even with their eyes closed, it was clear they were still barely alive.
"This is an alternate dimension," Wang Han said casually, tossing out more than ten tents and some food (purchased from the Naruto world) from his backpack. "You can stay here for a few days, and I'll send you out in a few days."
After Wang Han finished speaking, he took out a series of strange machines from his backpack and began to arrange them.
After Wang Han arranged the various instruments, a foreigner enveloped in yellow sand automatically flew to the table in front of him. Wang Han then used his Vajra Lock to immobilize him. This person's ability overlapped with that of others.
"Wang Han, you, you are..." In the Divine Might Space, everyone who saw Wang Han's actions, including Anna, stared at him in disbelief, their hair standing on end. No one had expected that Wang Han would use these enemies for this purpose.
"Surprised? Do you think I'm cold-blooded and evil?" Wang Han said without turning his head, continuing what he was doing, uttering shocking words. "In chaotic times, there were countless things even more cold-blooded and evil than this. Back then, many people had lost their humanity. It wasn't uncommon for people to kill their wives to entertain guests or exchange their children to eat. Even the extinct Xiongnu and Qianghu tribes would humiliate innocent civilians, the elderly, the weak, and women before killing them to use as military rations, calling them 'two-legged sheep.' During that period, there were bones everywhere. Now I'm just making the most of these foreign enemies."
Li Tiezhu retorted, "But, but we are now in a time of peace. The ugliness of human nature has been restrained, and the things you mentioned no longer happen."
"Peacetime?" Wang Han shook his head, continuing his work, and said, "As long as there are interests, there will be desires, there will be competition, and there will be war. Wars break out in peacetime quite often, for all sorts of reasons. Under such circumstances, the ugliness of human nature will inevitably surface sooner or later: slaughter, abuse, deception, enslavement. I was just striking first. Tiezhu, striking first is always better than striking later. If China hadn't struck first to exterminate the foreign races back then, those races would have attacked China. Do you think China would still be so powerful then?"
“China has excellent education and science, advanced medical care, powerful weapons, and abundant resources and land,” Li Tiezhu retorted. “China’s strength is inevitable.”
"You're too naive, Li Tiezhu. Nothing in this world is predetermined," Wang Han said. "You say China has excellent education and science, but that's because other countries' education has been suppressed and plundered by China. You say it has advanced medicine, but that's because medicine has been proven through countless lives. You say it has powerful weapons, but that's because in war, you need the strength to protect yourself. Weapons are tested and improved on the corpses of both sides. And you say it has abundant resources and land, every inch of which is stained with the blood of our ancestors, fought for from the enemy. If you don't have the strength, everything you say is just a pipe dream. Do you think it's predetermined?"
"This..." Li Tiezhu was speechless.
"Do you know?" Wang Han said, "If China hadn't launched those foreign wars back then, the China you live in would definitely not be what it is now. Even if China were strong, there would be plenty of countries that would want to take your throne and wealth. This is the principle of 'the first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers.' Things in this world can't be perfect just because you wish. All you can do is be prepared at all times. Strength is everything. Without strength, what can a saintly heart do? It probably can't even save yourself."
“Brother, Brother Wang Han is right,” Li Sisi said. Although she still couldn’t bear it, she could understand Wang Han’s thoughts: “Brother Wang Han is right. Things in the world are not perfect just because you wish for them to be. Just because you think this way doesn’t mean that others think the same way. Even if everyone thinks the same way, it doesn’t mean that no one will have different thoughts in the future. This is to be prepared for a rainy day.”
"Then, what does that have to do with what you're doing?" Li Tiezhu finally retorted.
“Eighteen hundred years ago, Chinese medicine developed in this way, and I was one of the participants. Otherwise, do you think Chinese medicine was able to lead in all aspects? Was it just luck?” Wang Han said. “What I’m doing now is to find out why they awakened superpowers, and how ordinary people without superpowers can acquire them. Humanity must always progress and venture into the universe, but humanity itself is too weak. Weakness is a sin. And I am helping China to have a better foundation and gain more advantages before the arrival of a great era.”
Everyone stared at Wang Han in astonishment, surprised that he was from 1,800 years ago, surprised that China was doing the same things 1,800 years ago, and surprised by Wang Han's motives. They couldn't refute Wang Han's words, because this was the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. To become strong, one had to be ruthless. If it hadn't been China that was powerful back then, but another country, they would have certainly done the same thing; the only difference was that China did it much more ruthlessly.
Seeing that Li Tiezhu did not refute, Wang Han continued what he was doing.
