"Pour the oil. This time, without the Golden Hammer of the Drum, Marquis Dingshan can't possibly unleash the underground river again," Liu Yan said painfully. Pouring the oil would kill Marquis Dingshan, but most of the soldiers fighting him would also be set ablaze. Liu Yan had no other choice but to continue. Even though Marquis Dingshan was injured, he was still a fierce tiger, not yet at his last gasp. He couldn't be killed quickly; countless more soldiers' lives would have to be sacrificed. If the oil wasn't poured out, Marquis Dingshan would only kill more soldiers.
Following Liu Yan's order, Zhang Lu and the foreign generals watched with tears in their eyes as vats of oil were ignited and poured into the canyon.

"Damn it, here we go again." Wang Han cursed as he looked at the crimson flames that had been cascaded down on both sides of the canyon. Although his plan was to die here, he didn't want to be burned to ashes. If he were burned to ashes, his plan to deceive the world's will through death would fail. It turned out that although the previous battles were fierce, Wang Han had been holding back all along.
"Damn it, we need to add more water." Wang Han cursed under his breath again, finally dropping the corpse he had been holding above his head. He grabbed a spear with his right hand, abandoned his defense, and brandished both spears to kill the enemy, making it look like he was desperately trying to break through.
The oil dripped down instantly, igniting the soldiers in that section of the canyon and also setting Wang Han ablaze. Arrows and projectiles continued to rain down from the cliff face, and Wang Han, who had abandoned his defenses, was riddled with arrows and riddled with wounds.
"Liu Yan, let's die together."
Feeling his life force rapidly draining away, Wang Han shouted towards the cliff face. After casting a power-up on himself, he charged towards the edge of the canyon, stepping through the sea of fire. He slammed into the mountainside with frenzied force, again and again, each time creating a crater seven or eight meters deep and causing the mountainside to tremble violently.
"Crash..." After several impacts, the mountain wall finally gave way and began to collapse, and Liu Yan and the others fell down with it. Wang Han was also buried by countless boulders.
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, observing the buried body of Wang Han and confirming his complete death before gradually dissipating.
The soldiers looked at their dead generals, at the canyon buried by the collapsed mountainside, and at the piles of corpses in the canyon, and didn't know what to do.

Three nights later, in the canyon of Sanzu Cliff, Wang Han's sleeping soul awoke from his body, detached from his corpse, and left the canyon.
"As expected, the soul, hidden and dormant within the corpse, will not be detected by the world's will after losing its autonomy. Or rather, because a soul without autonomy will dissipate, the world's will will not intervene," Wang Han, in his soul state, analyzed. "Although I don't know why, I have successfully deceived the world's will."
(Here are some points to clarify: First, Wang Han discovered this by observing that the soul dissipates after a living being dies. This only happens in some worlds without cultivators. Second, Wang Han doesn't understand the world's will, so much about it can only be speculated upon. Third, the world's will has limitations in its actions, namely, it can only act when it poses a threat to the world.)
