I Don't Agree to the Terms

"Who's been incessantly muttering about me recently? If they didn't mean well, I might just think about pushing back." Gu Shanhai casually picked up a divine being and complained.

He actually had some guesses, it was either Wang Qi, Yu Ju, or Tang Quan, who else could it be.

"But speaking of which, these people really are impressive, even setting up a knockoff World Government. Then, should I also create a Red Earth Continent and a Grand Line for them, oh, and the Demon Fruit, since we already have pirates, it would be a pity not to start a trend."

Gu Shanhai's brain twitched, and it seemed not entirely impossible.

"Those Sky Dragon People seem like they could have... oh, seems like that's not possible, really can't make that happen."

This world didn't have offspring of the creator, not even divine descendants, so don't even think about being above others.

Regarding the Red Earth Continent, the Grand Line, and the Demon Fruit, Gu Shanhai believed in the idea of utilizing waste, because the divine beings he used to manifest heaven and earth couldn't all be used up; there were many unsuitable aspects that needed to be removed, a 100% absorption was unlikely. After all, it's not as fitting as the "Blank Aspect"; divine beings possessed a myriad of chaotic power types, including plenty of impurities that weren't needed.

The stuff he discarded could be perfectly used to counterfeit these things.

As for whether it would truly develop into a world similar to that of the Pirate King, Gu Shanhai thought it was unlikely, given that the main system of this world was the Spiritual Martial System.

After all, how could it be considered a Pirate King's world without even the Sky Dragon People?

"However, the pirate group seems to be a bit of a tail that can't be dropped," Gu Shanhai was naturally aware that the divine beings were supporting the pirates, but he didn't interfere.

If Wang Qi established the Island Alliance without external pressure, then it would rot from within sooner or later.

Sufficient external pressure was necessary to serve as a catalyst for the greatest development of its power; if it was to be destroyed because of that, then Gu Shanhai could only say they deserved it. Such a huge power, basically impervious from the outside, if it could still weaken from internal reasons despite external foes, what more could Gu Shanhai do? He could only curse and say they deserved it.

He couldn't possibly worry about everything; he only took responsibility for training disciples, he wasn't going to ensure that the fruits of his disciples' labor were eternally indomitable, he couldn't even achieve that himself.

"Never mind, solve it if it can be solved, if not, then let it be." Gu Shanhai didn't particularly care about the emergence of the pirate forces, they existed before but were not named, instead referred to as sea folk.

Otherwise, where would you get tales of sea folk landing ashore to slay the Royal Family and take power?

"The number of divine beings left isn't much, ever since they attacked Island Alliance a few times, they've been much more subdued."

By this, Gu Shanhai didn't mean they were hurt by Wang Qi, but rather, realizing that Gu Shanhai didn't care about Island Alliance, they concentrated on being captured by him, rendering all their actions futile.

He wasn't foolish; if the divine beings attacked and he saved the day, wouldn't he be playing right into their hands?

They would attack from time to time, keeping Gu Shanhai constantly busy, trapping him in their pace.

Instead, Gu Shanhai didn't care, capturing whichever unfortunate divine being was on the agenda, beating them to a pulp during the capture and letting other divine beings notice the racket, using it as a deterrence.

That way, the opposition would understand that Gu Shanhai didn't care about Island Alliance, you all can attack at will, but none who are slated to be captured will get away, unless you can flee this world.

Indeed, they could leave this world through players, but for the players to complete the following missions for them was not so easy, without at least a decade to start, it wasn't possible to finish quickly.

Moreover, players didn't want divine beings, a bunch of followings from an evil camp looking to exploit them with an extremely low loyalty cap, likely to betray at any moment; why would players want such a high-cost, low-reward following?

Neither the power-gamers nor the story-gamers would like it.

Power-gamers would dislike that the divine follower was disobedient and liked to pull tricky moves, let alone story-gamers, what kind of story could be on a divine being, and besides, the number of story-gamers has drastically decreased, power-gamers are now the mainstream.

Furthermore, because of what the divine beings did to players before, there's an innate lack of goodwill, not many people are willing to be close to divine beings.

"In most three more years, I should be able to gather all the divine beings," Gu Shanhai felt the number of divine beings, the world was quite large, and there were many divine beings hiding everywhere.

Of course, because Gu Shanhai wasn't using his full strength to capture them, rather proceeding slowly, as most of his time was spent on the road practicing Child Skill Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt and the expansion of his own Abnormal Gods, as well as the development of his own race's evolution into a world prototype.

The divine beings couldn't run away and there was plenty of time, there was no need to be so urgent.

And Gu Shanhai keeping the divine beings could also further hone and improve Wang Qi, lest there be insufficient pressure after only the pirates remain.

"In three years, my Martial Arts Divine Power should be able to reach minor success; the accumulation at the beginning was too high, it was a bit overwhelming."

Gu Shanhai was somewhat resigned, it was a good thing, but the downside was slow efficiency when idling; practicing on his own was a bit faster, but compared to the overall, indeed, it was only a bit faster.
