The seven-day deadline quickly passed. Compared to dying in vain and without any purpose, everyone on the mirage chose to live. Whether it was out of genuine concern or feigned reluctance, these people either wanted to save their lives or did not want to die in vain. They wanted to feign compliance and look for opportunities in the future. They all chose to submit to Wang Han. Even powerful figures like Donghuang Taiyi and members of the Mohist school were no exception. After all, only by living could they have any hope.
Wang Han was fairly satisfied with their choices; at least none of them were courting death. As for whether these people were sincere or not, he could gradually win them over in the future. Wang Han had plenty of methods and time, and it wouldn't prevent him from utilizing some of their value first. However, Wang Han still didn't multiply them back to their original size, nor did he remove the seal, at least not now. Wang Han had more important matters to attend to. After leaving them with a large amount of supplies, Wang Han left the Divine Might Space.
——————————————
"It seems you've finished your business." The planet's will contacted Wang Han as soon as he left the Divine Might Space. Even after Wang Han entered the Divine Might Space, the planet's will couldn't find him.
“It’s done,” Wang Han replied. “Where is what I asked for? Once I get what I want, I will go back in time and help you kill that outsider.”
As soon as Wang Han finished speaking, several narrow spatial rifts appeared more than ten meters away in the open space in front of him. Various books, rare treasures, minerals, creatures, and plants fell out of the spatial rifts and were then neatly arranged and piled up in five categories under the drag of gusts of wind.
"I have to admit, you're better than me at this level of meticulous work," Wang Han said with satisfaction, looking at the items and creatures piled up in five categories. Finding these things by himself, by manpower alone, would have taken a considerable amount of time, and he might not have been able to find them so thoroughly. In the creature category, even the males and females had been matched, and even the insects were distinguished by sex—something Wang Han found truly impressive.
Then Wang Han opened the Divine Might Space and put all these things into it. He also used illusion magic to make all the creatures behave.
By the time Wang Han finished doing all this, it was already evening.
"Can we begin?" the planetary will asked, seeing that Wang Han had finished getting ready.
"We can begin." Wang Han nodded and said, as a massive surge of energy erupted from his body, forming a dragon-shaped energy storm that shot straight into the sky.
"Whoosh..." The terrifying gale driven by the energy began to surge outwards from Wang Han, and a huge crater with a diameter of 100 meters quickly appeared on the ground under the force of the energy-driven gale.
"Twice the energy required to enter the spacetime tunnel, and you can begin to travel back in time. Remember, once you enter the spacetime tunnel, the past projections will rapidly rewind in your eyes. The stronger and more energy you use, the faster the rewind will be. Once you reach about thirteen years ago, you must stop immediately and leave the spacetime tunnel." The words of the planetary will echoed rapidly in Wang Han's mind.
"Boom..." Upon hearing this, Wang Han didn't waste any words and immediately increased the output of the dragon vein power within his body. The howling wind instantly broke the sound barrier. The surrounding hundred-meter crater also instantly expanded to three hundred meters.
The next moment, the immense energy carried Wang Han away from where he stood and into the spacetime tunnel, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed for a long time.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to get back to the future?"
————————————————
Within the spacetime tunnel, Wang Han was propelled forward by the spacetime abilities he unleashed. Everything outside the energy field seemed to be playing in reverse, though the reversal was slow. (This is just one example of spacetime manipulation.)
"It seems the energy isn't enough; it's only just reached the level where I can return to the past." Watching the surrounding scenery recede into the distance, Wang Han amplified the burst of dragon vein energy within his body several times over.
As Wang Han's power increased, the surrounding scenery also sped up considerably. The rising and setting of the sun and moon would repeat themselves every few minutes. However, Wang Han found it somewhat boring, because even if he returned to the past, the scenery he saw was still the same place where he had just been, only at different times.
"Doubled." Wang Han murmured softly, as the external cheat was activated, and the dragon vein energy on his body suddenly increased dozens of times.
As Wang Han used the cheat to increase the energy bursting from his body, the speed of time reversal suddenly increased a lot. Winter, autumn, summer and spring repeated endlessly, and in the blink of an eye, a cycle of the four seasons had passed.
"Damn it, the speed of time reversal isn't proportional to the intensity and quantity of energy." Watching the seasons pass by in the blink of an eye, Wang Han cursed under his breath, quickly deactivating the cheat and stopping the eruption of dragon vein power within him. Time stopped at a winter, and then the world returned to normal, everything back to its usual order. Unfortunately, Wang Han was still a little too late in realizing the problem.
Looking at the winter snow scene in front of him, Wang Han felt helpless. Originally, it should have only taken thirteen years, but unfortunately, Wang Han's calculations and predictions were wrong, and several years had suddenly increased. He didn't know exactly how many years had been added.
Although some problems arose, Wang Han finally gained some understanding of time travel.
"Sigh! Let's look around first." Wang Han sighed, activated the radar, and set up an intruder scan.
'Can't be scanned. It seems he hasn't arrived in this world yet, or he has a special way of hiding. Even my radar can't detect him. No wonder the planetary will wanted me to travel back to exactly thirteen years ago. Before that, the planetary will hadn't discovered this outsider either.' A few minutes later, Wang Han stopped scanning.
After thinking for a while, Wang Han headed towards Xinzheng, the capital of Han Kingdom. According to Wushuang's previous account, he was certain that he had been here before the fall of Han Kingdom, where he killed many people and took away most of the Baiyue people. Therefore, after returning, before finding the other outsider, Wang Han planned to first figure out the many doubts in his heart and why he did those things. He believed that he must have had his reasons for doing so, so the best way to find out why was to forget the future he knew and follow the path of events, participating in it.
——————————————
Along the border of Han Kingdom, Wang Han saw mostly dilapidated villages and chaotic order. He frequently saw various corpses, skeletons, and graves on the road. Some had starved to death, others had been killed by bandits, and sometimes they appeared in droves. Wang Han also often saw emaciated refugees and vicious bandits. In this era, in such a chaotic and unmanageable border region, food, desire, money, and all sorts of reasons could become reasons for killing. Moral authority and the constraints of national laws had been reduced to a minimum. Everyone followed the law of the jungle, where the strong controlled the fate of others, making it the perfect haven for countless villains.
"Is this the era of the Seven Warring States? Chaotic, filthy, and such an era has lasted for hundreds of years. I understand now why I did what I did."
