“Since you are willing to submit to the Great Song and become its subjects, you must abide by the rules of the Great Song from now on. The Great Song will then send people to govern you,” Wang Han said. “But I am showing mercy today. If anyone still thinks about restoring the Western Xia kingdom, then this will be their fate.”
After saying that, Wang Han conjured a lightning spear in his hand and hurled it towards the distant plains.
"Boom..." A terrifying thunderclap echoed across the distant plains. The dazzling blue lightning almost obscured the sunlight, leaving everyone with only the blinding blue light in their eyes. The bright lightning stung their eyes, causing them to tear up.
When the lightning dissipated, a small basin several kilometers in diameter had appeared on the plain, and the surrounding land was completely scorched black, allowing anyone who saw it to imagine just how terrifying the lightning spear that Wang Han had just thrown out must have been.
"We swear that from this day forward, we will never restore our kingdom. Western Xia is a thing of the past. We swear we will never establish any new country. We will forever submit to the Great Song, forever submit to the Central Plains, and forever be a part of the Great Song and the Central Plains. If we break this oath, may our descendants die a horrible death." Upon hearing Wang Han's words, the leading guard immediately swore a loud oath, a vow to the death, with the air of a true soldier.
With this guard leading the way, everyone took the oath together.
"Remember your oath. Heaven is above. Today, we ask Heaven to oversee their oath." Upon hearing this, Wang Han smiled and shouted loudly to the sky.
"Boom..." As Wang Han spoke, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder. In the center of the dark clouds, a huge eye appeared out of thin air, and endless pressure descended on an area of hundreds of miles.
"The oath is made." A majestic voice echoed in everyone's minds, like a brand deeply etched into their consciousness. Even the Heavenly Dao showed leniency towards Wang Han, this terrifying being; it had only intervened once for all the commotion Wang Han had caused, allowing him to run rampant afterward. Now, with Wang Han's declaration, it had even stepped in to lend its support.
Feeling the boundless majesty and remembering the oath that was branded into their minds, the soldiers and civilians in the city all gave up hope. No one could have imagined that the Great General of the Song Dynasty could even invoke the will of Heaven. This oath was truly one that could not be broken for generations to come.
"Thank you!" Seeing that Heaven was giving him face and he didn't need to pretend, Wang Han politely cupped his hands in thanks to the sky.
"As long as you don't cause too much damage to this world, the cycle of heaven has its own cause and effect laws of past and future lives." A voice appeared in Wang Han's ear, and only Wang Han could hear it.
"Don't worry, I will be leaving soon, and I don't know when I will return. So please take good care of the land of China. I will definitely repay you in the future." Wang Han communicated with the Heavenly Dao through his mind and said, "In addition, I have finished some things. I would like to ask the Heavenly Dao to discuss the rules of heaven and earth with me."
"I would be more than happy to. Please let me know if you need any help." Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao was also somewhat excited. There weren't many things that could make the Heavenly Dao's emotions fluctuate, but destroying a world and discussing the rules of heaven and earth with the powerful beings of other worlds were definitely two of them. Destroying a world goes without saying; the Heavenly Dao might even fight you to the death. Discussing the rules of heaven and earth with the powerful beings of other worlds would definitely be of great help to the Heavenly Dao. Being able to use the rules of other worlds to improve itself would not only promote the evolution of the world, but the Heavenly Dao itself would also become much stronger, and might even become a higher-level Heavenly Dao. This would save the Heavenly Dao a lot of detours compared to the world slowly evolving.
“Of course,” Wang Han replied spiritually, then looked down at the people and soldiers in the city below and said, “Now that you have made an oath, Western Xia no longer exists. You all know what to do next.”
"Yes, we will not only join the Song Dynasty ourselves, but also call on more former Western Xia people to join the Song Dynasty, and have them also make an oath, asking Heaven to supervise us." Upon hearing this, the guard quickly took the lead and said.
"I will keep an eye on them," Tiandao said at the right time. Although many people have made oaths, supervision does not need to be so complicated. Just eliminate the ringleaders and follow the clues.
"Good, hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Wang Han laughed loudly. With the Heavenly Dao overseeing them, this was practically a one-time solution. Neither Western Xia nor Later Jin could ever hope to rise again. With the Heavenly Dao's help, once he dealt with the Liao and the former Yuan dynasties and left some backup plans, China's position as the world's number one would be absolutely secure for the next thousand years. Even a thousand years later, with the Heavenly Dao's support, absolutely no one would dare to bully them.
As for whether Heaven would go back on its word after he left, Wang Han wasn't worried. After all, it was Heaven. Even a fart from Heaven is a rule; violating the agreement wouldn't benefit Heaven, but rather harm it.
"In that case, you should all hurry up and go," Wang Han said with a smile. He turned around, got on Little White, and flew back. There was no need to worry about Xixia anymore; the rest could be left to Zhong Shidao, the hard worker.
————————————————
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Han spotted the Song army led by Zhong Shidao. He immediately flew down.
"General!" Zhong Shidao called out as he saw Wang Han flying back, wondering why Wang Han had returned. Had something happened?
"The Western Xia has perished. Your mission has changed. You will take over all of the Western Xia's territories, cities, and people. They have sworn never to betray them, and Heaven bears witness," Wang Han said with a smile.
"The Western Xia is destroyed!" Upon hearing this, Zhong Shidao was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "As expected of the Great General, I told you we didn't need to abide by any agreements. We should just hurry up and destroy the Western Xia. Otherwise, once they get the imperial decree to cease hostilities, their recovery will be another big problem."
