After finalizing the general plan, Wang Han discussed many details with Emperor Huizong of Song. Emperor Huizong found each point reasonable and readily agreed to Wang Han's suggestions.
………
"Summon all civil and military officials to the palace to receive the imperial decree."
About half an hour later, the eunuch beside Emperor Huizong finally emerged from the main hall and called out to the civil and military officials who had been waiting outside for a long time. When the officials entered the hall, they found that Wang Han had already left.

“In this superstitious age, eliminating the population and suppressing the regime by creating natural disasters is undoubtedly the most appropriate method!” The next day, in the clouds above the capital of Goryeo, 20,000 miles above the city, Wang Han held a small stone in his hand and looked down at the city.
The next moment, Wang Han crushed the small pebble in his hand into dozens of even smaller pebbles and scattered them towards the city below. "Multiply power, speed boost!"
"Whoosh...!" With the dual boosts, the scattered pebbles instantly transformed into boulders the size of houses. With the acceleration boost, these boulders crashed down on the city below like a meteor shower, reaching speeds of nearly ten kilometers per second, giving them terrifying power comparable to meteorites.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters, these boulders thrown out by Wang Han looked like real meteorites from outer space.
In just two seconds, before the people in the city below even noticed, disaster had already struck.
"Boom!" The deafening roar of the meteorite hitting the ground echoed throughout the city. The impact sent up hundreds or even thousands of meters of debris, and the shockwave swept through everything around it, turning everything into ruins. The gale-force winds generated by the shockwave swept up fragments of the ruins hundreds of meters into the air and carried them thousands of meters away. The terrifying tremors could be clearly felt even in cities several miles away.
When the tremors subsided and everything calmed down, huge craters, hundreds or even thousands of meters in diameter, replaced the once glorious royal city. The few remaining ruins told the story of its former splendor, but no living creature survived.
"Don't blame me. This is war. The lives of my compatriots are more precious to me than yours." Looking down at the city that had been completely destroyed, Wang Han muttered to himself before disappearing.
In the distant mountains, the woodcutters who witnessed all of this were dumbfounded. From seeing the meteorite falling from the sky to the destruction of the royal city, only two or three seconds had passed, and they hadn't even recovered from their shock.
"Heavens! How could this happen!" Looking at the city replaced by a meteorite crater, a woodcutter knelt on the ground in grief, pointing to the sky and shouting angrily, "Heavens, why have you sent down such a natural disaster! What kind of calamity has this done!"
"My home!" Some woodcutters sat blankly on the ground among the trees, letting the firewood they had chopped scatter all over the ground, staring dejectedly at the destroyed city.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters, Wang Han flew at high speed over cities, forests, and rivers. Whether it was a village, a city, an uninhabited forest, or even the sea, Wang Han would occasionally drop a stone or a handful of stones to create the illusion of a meteorite impact. He didn't care about the result and continued to fly to the next place, regardless of whether he hit the target, how many people died, or how many people survived.
Wang Han then went to Tibet, Dali, Liao, Uyghur, India, and even to the more remote Siberia to the north. However, he did not cause any more disasters like meteor showers in these places. Instead, he assassinated their royal courts, eliminated their leaders, and then blamed the neighboring countries. He also used illusion magic to manipulate the generals leading the troops, spread rumors, and led them to fight each other.

On the other side, while Wang Han was stirring up trouble, the Song Dynasty was also undergoing a major overhaul. Wang Han was not without involvement in the internal reforms of the Song Dynasty. Under Wang Han's guidance, the Song Dynasty held an unprecedented public referendum. Citizens of each city voted for their respective officials, and people of each town voted for their respective towns. Generals such as Yang Zhi led troops to supervise the process to prevent fraud. The people voted in turn, suing each minister for their crimes. Finally, all the officials were brought to the capital and handed over to Emperor Huizong for judgment.
At the same time, the Song Dynasty began a large-scale talent selection process, and a variety of talented individuals emerged. Everything was proceeding according to Wang Han's plan.
As time passed, under Wang Han's control, the Song Dynasty easily annexed Goryeo and Dali, and began to win over the hearts of the people of both countries. It also began to migrate people between the two countries, which was the prelude to ethnic integration and mixed ethnic groups living together.
After the Song Dynasty revealed its true colors, the Liao and Tibetan kingdoms, which were at war with the Uyghurs, dared not wage war against the Song. On the contrary, under the threat of the Song, their wars with the weaker Uyghur kingdom ended with them paying a price to sue for peace and continue to pay tribute to the Song.
Within the Song Dynasty, under Emperor Huizong's resolute stance, Wang Han's covert manipulation, and the joint supervision of officials, soldiers, and civilians, the atmosphere improved significantly. Not only did a large number of talented individuals emerge and be given important positions, but the lives of the Song people also improved considerably, even showing signs of bringing the Song Dynasty back to its former glory.
Meanwhile, with Wang Han's secret support, many of the Liangshan heroes were successfully recruited by the Song Dynasty and participated in the suppression of bandits. At Wang Han's suggestion, Emperor Huizong of Song also granted them high-ranking official positions and sent them to guard Goryeo. Wang Han also specifically instructed Wu Yong, believing that these Liangshan heroes could effectively and permanently change Goryeo.
