Within the Divine Might Space, time ticked by, and all of humanity waited—waited for the appearance of the giant larger than Earth, and for the arrangements that advanced civilization would make for them. This concerned the future of 3.5 billion people on Earth.
——————————————
At the headquarters of the United Government, a huge screen projected the scene from the space warfare control room. Liu Peiqiang sat upright in the center of the screen, waiting for the giant to contact him so he could relay the giant's words to the federal government's decision-making level in real time. However, they waited and waited but Wang Han did not contact them. Instead, their stomachs were growling with hunger, and their minds were racing. A day was almost over, and they had done nothing all day. Liu Peiqiang, who had been sitting upright in his chair, was starting to droop his eyelids.
"Liu Peiqiang, it seems you've been waiting for me for a long time." A voice rang in Liu Peiqiang's mind. Upon hearing the voice, Liu Peiqiang immediately perked up and asked, "Respected expert, may I ask how we should address you?"
“Now that you have pledged your allegiance to me, then address me as my lord or master, just like my other subordinates,” Wang Han replied.
"My lord." Upon hearing this, Liu Peiqiang thought for a moment and addressed him respectfully. This was something he and the coalition government had anticipated.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat and chat." Wang Han's voice rang in Liu Peiqiang's mind, and a sumptuous meal instantly appeared in front of Liu Peiqiang.
"Thank you." Liu Peiqiang thought for a moment, then, without being polite, picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, took a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth. Once the meat entered his mouth, Liu Peiqiang couldn't stop eating, constantly moving his chopsticks.
"This meat comes from creatures that cultivate. It's not only delicious, but it also contains streams of attribute-less energy, which will be very beneficial to you," Wang Han's voice echoed in Liu Peiqiang's mind.
Although reluctant to stop eating, Liu Peiqiang didn't forget his mission. He repeated Wang Han's words and then asked, "My lord, now that we have pledged our allegiance to you, what do you need us to do?"
"I prefer this kind of straightforward communication; beating around the bush is so boring," Wang Han said. "Actually, what I need you to do right now is very simple: technology. Although my men and I are very powerful, our technology is very backward, and our productivity in various production areas is insufficient. So I need your technology. That's the first point. Secondly, a large number of warriors. The power of technology can quickly arm warriors with barely any combat strength, and even create mass-produced mechanical warriors. This is something that ordinary cultivation-based civilizations find difficult to do, and even if they could, it would be very resource-intensive and time-consuming. Warriors in cultivation-based civilizations require a long period of training to truly take shape. Thirdly, equipment. With your technological capabilities, you can quickly produce low-level equipment."
"My lord," Liu Peiqiang repeated Wang Han's words, then asked, "You said before that you would help us develop, so how will you help us?"
"We will help you restore the Earth's environment, provide you with methods for individual cultivation, send people to guide your cultivation, and give you more living space," Wang Han said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Peiqiang nodded, repeated Wang Han's words, and remained silent for a while before saying, "Thank you, my lord. Humans will certainly serve you with utmost loyalty."
"That's good. Also, I have my own rules here," Wang Han said. "There are some ironclad rules that absolutely cannot be broken by anyone other than me and the people and things I designate. These are taboos. You can still make your own laws, but in addition to the laws, I hope you will also designate a set of punishments. After you've decided on them, I will send someone to review them and make any unreasonable changes." After Wang Han finished speaking, a piece of paper appeared in front of Liu Peiqiang, floating in the air.
Upon hearing this, Liu Peiqiang quickly picked up the paper floating in front of him, first repeating Wang Han's words, then carefully reading it aloud. He didn't dare to omit or reverse a single word, line by line.
"Article One: The sale of human beings is punishable by a thousand cuts and imprisonment of the soul; the capture and sale of exotic beasts is punishable by a thousand cuts; killing an exotic beast without cause is a capital offense..." After reading this, Liu Peiqiang took a breath. These articles all contained extremely severe punishments, most of which, in addition to imprisonment, involved various forms of torture, much like in the cruel ancient times. However, there were exceptions. Those with mitigating circumstances, or those who pleaded for leniency, could be exempted from punishment to a certain extent, or even be exonerated.
Upon receiving these decrees, even the federal government remained silent for a moment. While the severity of the punishments would only be considered moderate in ancient times, it was quite harsh in modern society. Fortunately, these clauses were few in number, mostly concerning unforgivable crimes; the majority of the laws were to be formulated by the federal government itself. Furthermore, they understood the benefits of such severe laws, especially now that they were loyal to a powerful being and the possibility of future wars with other civilizations. Besides, they could not resist; the power of the advanced civilization would not allow them to do so.

"It's time to restore Earth's environment." Somewhere on Earth, Wang Han and Liu Peiqiang interrupted their conversation and came to Earth to prepare for the restoration of the planet.
'First, we need to strengthen the Earth's hardness to a certain extent, let's double it.' Wang Han thought, placing his hand on the ground, activating the strengthening cheat. Strengthening the Earth's hardness would have some impact on the lives of humans living on Earth, such as farming, but it wouldn't increase gravity or weight. More importantly, the Earth is truly too fragile; a more stable Earth would also be beneficial for his future use of the Tree Realm Descent and glacier melting, without causing too much damage to the land. Furthermore, once humans begin cultivating, the Earth's environment would be more able to withstand their antics.
