"Halt!" On an unknown road, dozens of burly men wielding swords and knives suddenly sprang out from the nearby woods and surrounded Wang Han.
"Boss, look at this kid, all dressed smartly and with fair skin, he must be a rich man's son," a burly man said, pointing at Wang Han to the scarred man next to him.
"Another big deal! This rich kid is much fatter than those refugees." The other robbers laughed heartily, delighted with today's great haul.
"Kid, hand over all your valuables and food." The scarred man pointed at Wang Han and said, "I might spare your life today if I'm in a good mood."
"Spare my life." Looking at the bandits surrounding him, feeling their murderous aura and the smell of blood, Wang Han said coldly, "But I don't want to spare your lives. Since you've met me today, I'll just give you, the parasites of the country and the cancer of the nation, back to life."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge fire dragon appeared out of thin air around Wang Han, circling around him with its massive mouth open, staring at the numerous bandits.
"This... demon... monster..." The bandits were so frightened by the appearance of the giant fire dragon that they took several steps back.
"A monster!" the bandit leader cried out in terror, turning around and scrambling to escape. The other bandits also dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.
Seeing the robbers trying to escape, Wang Han smiled coldly. The huge fire dragon around him coiled and chased after the fleeing robbers, devouring them. In just a few seconds, after the fire dragon passed, only piles of charred ash remained. Wang Han waved his hand lightly, and a breeze swept up the charred ash on the ground and blew it into the nearby woods.
"In a long period of chaos, when people lose the constraints and control of rules for an extended period, morality between people becomes numb, lost, and collapses. Desires and ugliness within people begin to breed, infect, and are amplified by the environment, erupting and growing rapidly. In such an era, it was indeed right for Ying Zheng to implement harsh laws. Most people have become numb, accustomed to it, and it has become a habit. How many people will continue to be treated like frogs in slowly boiling water? How many years and how many generations of effort will it take to change this? If the laws are not severe, they will not instill fear. If people are not afraid, evil will be difficult to stop. In this respect, Ying Zheng and I are quite similar. Unfortunately, in this great era, how many people can understand this!" After burning the robbers to death, Wang Han sighed and continued on his journey, leaving behind only the charred marks left by the fire.

After more than ten days of travel and sightseeing, Wang Han finally arrived at Xinzheng, the capital of Han Kingdom.
Upon entering Xinzheng, the capital of Han, Wang Han was not greeted by bustling streets and cheerful smiles. Instead, everyone hurried about, afraid to utter a word. The current situation in Han was impacting their lives; externally, Qin was watching with predatory intent, while internally, General Ji Wuye was wreaking havoc on the court.
Seeing this, Wang Han lost interest in exploring Xinzheng. He bought a house from an ordinary family outside the city, near the river, for a hefty sum and settled down. It was still too early; even Han Fei hadn't returned to Han Kingdom yet, and the outsider hadn't appeared. Wang Han decided to cultivate in seclusion, read, fish, and wait. As for collecting items or books, Wang Han's divine space already contained everything he needed, enough to keep him occupied for a long time.
——————————————
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had gone by.
"Wang Han, outsiders have appeared." At dusk, just as Wang Han was enjoying the sunset while fishing, the voice of the planet's will suddenly rang in Wang Han's ears.
"It's finally here," Wang Han said, putting away his fishing rod and immediately activating the radar to perform a conditional scan.
"..." After scanning, Wang Han was speechless. The radar feed showed countless red dots covering almost the entire world. The invaders weren't just one, but a whole horde, millions of them, concentrated in the Roman Empire and spreading throughout the world. The situation was far different from what he had imagined. This massive transmigration was more like these invaders coming to ravage the world.
"How can there be so many? You don't mind if I use some very wide-ranging moves, do you?" Wang Han asked, frowning.
"So you do have your own methods for finding them." The voice of the planet's will sounded helplessly in Wang Han's ear. "As long as you can kill them, I don't mind if you use some large-scale attacks, as long as it doesn't cause the extinction of an entire continent. But if it's that easy to eliminate them, I'd like to use them myself."
"What's so special about these outsiders?" Wang Han asked, frowning. The planetary will could easily launch a large-scale attack on its own planet. The sheer number of these outsiders indicated that they weren't particularly powerful, and the fact that the planetary will had asked him to return suggested that these outsiders must possess some very troublesome abilities.
"The reason I invited you here in the future is because these outsiders are extremely sensitive and adept at concealment. Once they detect a powerful threat, they quickly hide, making them impossible for even me to find for a moment. Moreover, they can perform simple spatial jumps, possessing some spatial abilities. They have no physical form, allowing them to hide among all things and control other creatures," the planetary will said helplessly. "I detected them the moment they appeared and prepared to attack, but they immediately realized I had noticed them. My attack had barely begun when they sensed it and immediately fled underground or through spatial jumps, their presence quickly disappearing completely, making them difficult for even me to detect for a moment. However, it seems you were able to detect them even after they concealed their presence."
"This is really troublesome!" After listening to the planet's will, Wang Han couldn't help but complain. Map attacks were almost useless, and space jumps and seals were also almost ineffective. So, he could only hunt them down one by one, which was going to exhaust him! However, despite the trouble, Wang Han still believed that he could kill them. Otherwise, the future of this planet would have been completely different long ago.
"If you want to know what it is, I'll go and meet them myself," Wang Han said, taking out his black armor, which he hadn't worn in a long time, and putting it on, along with a black helmet to conceal his face. After the radar scan locked onto a target, Wang Han activated his wallhack, taking a single step and disappearing from the spot.
