Chapter 137 Using the Bandits' Money to Buy Land and Build a Sect: Like Han Li, Resources are Prepared to Begin Cultivation. Everything is Ready, Time to Cultivate. I write novels using the interest of novels to make learning mathematics enjoyable, because the first teacher in learning is interest. Don't just enjoy it without the motivation to learn. Pure novels are best with only one goal, pure science novels are best with only one goal, science novels are best with two goals, both enjoyable and educational. Martial arts, magical power, and spiritual energy are all illusions of the path to happiness. Wang Han's ultimate goal—to abandon martial arts and choose the path of scientific knowledge that brings happiness—is to understand the true scientific calculations of Euler and Gauss, the Riemann Hypothesis, and relativity. He will become a god, passing the eighteen tests of physics and mathematics to inherit dual divine positions, mastering the final move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, solving problems without a name, letting go of competitive desires, and pursuing the true knowledge of the Riemann Hypothesis. Later, the god Tianjielan fabricated a story, and the gods, hearing only one side of the story, revoked Wang Han's dual divine positions. One god said, "He's too frightening; the Jade Emperor should kick him out of the divine realm." Another god said, "Without faith, there is no point." As a result, Wang Han tried to explain but was kicked out of the divine realm. He also abandoned his dual divine positions and, along with Jia Wang, sailed through the universe in an aircraft carrier, traversing time and space to find the reincarnated Huang Zhumiao. Chapters 133 to 137 show how Wang Han, through strategic planning and leveraging of resources, as well as learning mathematics and engaging in business, steadily built his career over 290 years by doing push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups on the gravity tower.
