Mythical Three Kingdoms

In the previous moment, many pirates in the Indian Ocean wanted to resist Gan Ning’s rule. But in the next moment, after Gan Ning eliminated the last of the three big bosses of the Indian Ocean pirates, no one dared to challenge Gan Ning’s will.

”Order all pirates in the Indian Ocean to come and pay respects!” After assimilating all the pirates, Gan Ning quickly dealt with a wave of internal matters and then ordered Novica.

At this time, Gan Ning held an unparalleled status among the Indian Ocean pirates. As a man who established his power with military merits and suppressed everyone, his position was unshakeable. No matter how tyrannical or mad he was, no one would challenge him while he was still alive.

After executing a batch of pirates with some ideas, all pirates knew who the boss was now. There were no more dissenters, and Gan Ning’s will became the collective will of the Indian Ocean pirate community. He was the king here!

With Gan Ning’s order, almost all pirates from the northern and western parts of the Indian Ocean came. Those who didn’t come would never need to come because they were dead.

Those who came and had any intent of opposition also died. For Gan Ning, his pirate crew did not need any additional wills; he was the only one who could command everyone, the king!

”Respected one, I have already selected over ten thousand elite pirates from the pirate crew according to your request, and they are being trained intensively per your instructions. They are extremely outstanding!” Sakara, now facing Gan Ning, had an added layer of fear.

After reaching the summit, Gan Ning began to restrain the pirates, no longer plundering but instead large-scale training of elite pirates. Just like in the Central Plains, the elite among the water bandits and pirates weren’t lacking in combat experience and combat will, but their discipline wasn’t very good.

Whether Gan Ning or Zhou Yu, both rose from water bandits and pirates, so they both knew how to transform water bandits into a fine navy. The only gap between them was discipline. Once Gan Ning consolidated the pirates across the entire Indian Ocean, he began the transformation.

”In the second stage, I will personally drill them!” Gan Ning cast a calm glance at Sakara and ordered. Bell King, huh, not a bad name.

”Yes, respected one.” Sakara lowered his head in response to Gan Ning but showed obvious hesitation on his face.

”Is there something else you want to say?” Gan Ning asked as he looked at Sakara, who he had begun to regard more lightly due to his recent performance.

”Our food and supplies are running low. We haven’t plundered merchant ships recently. Even though we’ve integrated all the pirates, since we began large-scale drilling of soldiers, our resources have been rapidly depleting.” Sakara replied with his head bowed, Gan Ning’s intimidating presence forbidding him from meeting his gaze.

”Oh, really? Aside from plundering, how did we obtain resources in the past?” Gan Ning asked understandingly, then inquired further as if recalling something.

”Part of our resources was gained from plundering merchant ships, and the rest were from selling the looted goods and buying from the black market,” Sakara explained. ”We’ve exterminated other bandit groups and acquired large amounts of money, which is enough for short-term purchases.”

”The black market, huh?” Gan Ning touched his chin, instantly understanding the situation. ”Alright, order people to purchase supplies, and continue to intensify the training. Within three months, I want to see a well-trained navy, not water bandits!”

Sakara nodded and then withdrew, while Gan Ning summoned his newly organized eight hundred trusted aides. Having interacted with Maudgalyayana, he naturally knew the cultivation methods of the Kushan and was aware that the sages of Kushan were beings of belief and visualization.

Based on this, Gan Ning selected certain believers from tens of thousands of pirates. Since he was the first Pirate King to pacify the Indian Ocean, logically, he qualified to be visualized by others, although fewer would visualize this god, but that wasn’t a significant issue.

So Gan Ning searched among those who participated in the unification battle of the Indian Ocean pirates and found over a thousand pirates willing to believe in the Pirate King, asking them to visualize him as a template. Though it ultimately failed, the belief god of the Pirate King did indeed emerge.

Overall, Gan Ning found Kushan to be a truly wondrous place. He casually established a divine position, leading to the appearance of a belief god worth visualizing. Gan Ning expressed his speechless amazement.

However, that was not the important part. The essential factor was the pirates who gained power by visualizing the Pirate King had a sincere recognition of him as the first Pirate King from the depths of their hearts.

Though realizing this situation left Gan Ning cold-hearted and inclined to ridicule the Kushan cultivation system, in reality, he was diligently promoting this cultivation method. Being pirates, why rely on others’ cultivation methods? Let’s visualize the Pirate King!

Under Gan Ning’s authoritative enforcement, combined with survival needs and reasonable logic, any pirate under his command who hadn’t reached Qi Refining to Gang began visualizing the Pirate King.

The most magical aspect of Kushan is the visualization; according to the Kushan visualization system, if the god does not exist, visualization yields no feedback. But if the god does exist, visualization will grant power.

The Inner Qi Manifestation level, in this place like Kushan, equates to the level of a Manifest God regardless of how you see it, thus granting Gan Ning the qualification for God Creation.

As for Lyu Bu, he already belonged to the monstrous category. Even without appearing, his powerful strength was directly acknowledged as divine. This explains why those Kushans, who swam from Hawaii to Southeast Asia, eventually brought forth a believer of Mahesvara with Inner Qi Manifestation.

In conclusion, once these pirates realized they could visualize the Pirate King, they decisively switched to visualizing the Pirate King. After all, visualization involves an affinity, and the gods and Buddhas that most lower-class civilians can visualize are limited, or they might ’by chance’ encounter some gods and Buddhas through a Spiritual Relic.

Nobles had more options and could find gods and Buddhas similar to their personalities, even identical ones to visualize. Under such circumstances, their strength naturally progressed faster, which is why the Brahmin would allow Inner Qi Manifestation experts to enter the Kshatriya Class.

Because there were so few, those from the lower class who reached Inner Qi Manifestation were individuals of extraordinary fortune. Furthermore, since the gods and Buddhas they visualized were positive figures filtered by the Brahmin, their affinity and correspondence were undoubtedly high.

Therefore, even when Inner Qi Manifestation experts reached this level, they wouldn’t cause trouble but acknowledge that their previous actions were deserved punishments.

As a result, now the pirates visualizing the Pirate King have a surprisingly high affinity. After all, a pirate who doesn’t aspire to be a Pirate King isn’t a good pirate!
