"You're so despicable," Purple Pearl said, looking at Tang San with eyes full of hatred. A breeze blew through her disheveled hair, and her heart ached so much.
Why couldn't she protect her own people?
The Purple Pearl Pirate Group was built from the ground up by her alone, but it still ended up desolate in her hands.
She was extremely frightened. She felt she should never have established the Purple Pearl Pirate Group. If she hadn't, they wouldn't have died for her.
"Purple Pearl, their deaths are all because of you. If you had obediently given in to me earlier, how could you have possibly angered me? I, Tang San, am always a good person; I never kill unnecessarily. You forced my hand," Tang San said with a playful tone.
He suddenly understood what Xu Ran had felt over these years.
Having control over everything, seeing everyone in pain, terror, despair, regret, and hatred because of his actions—it felt really good!
No wonder Xu Ran so enjoyed tormenting him. It turned out that Xu Ran felt this good while doing so.
But it will probably be difficult for Xu Ran to bully him in the future. He had now become a god. As a First-Level God, even the Destruction God couldn't lay a hand on him.
Hmph!
From now on, he, Tang San, would be the strongest king in the Divine Realm.
He had now figured out the laws of the gods. To hell with being a Divine King— as long as he was strong enough to overthrow one and gained some power over the spiritual center, he could become a Divine King too.
Princes and generals, do they have a kind of their own?
From now on, Tang San would control the entire Divine Realm, unrivaled under the heavens and above the earth!
"You! Did you ever give me a chance to regret? If you had said you would do this, I would not have disagreed," Purple Pearl said, tears streaming down from her beautiful eyes.
She glared at Tang San, wishing she could tear him to pieces!
Yes!
If she had known that Tang San was so powerful, if she had known that Tang San would ruthlessly attack the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, how could she not have agreed?
Even if it cost the life of Purple Pearl herself, she would not have hesitated!
But now, it was all too late.
So many people had died because of her single refusal!
Tang San was indeed a cruel man. Is this what they called the powerful? Does having great strength give one the right to kill at will?
"It's a pity, but I have changed. If I hadn't, I would have been doomed."
"I used to be a good person, too. I once tried to cherish the process, but in the end, I found out that the process is never as important as the outcome. As long as you can have it, the process doesn't matter."
Tang San sighed, his presence dark and sinister, with many things surfacing in his mind.
If Xu Ran had never entered his world, he might still be living carefree and blissfully with Xiaowu. It was Xu Ran who forced him to become like this.
He later went after Bai Chenxiang, he pursued the process, but it was too slow and ultimately, Xu Ran took her away from him.
Hulena was the same; back then he was the Saint Heir and Hulena was the goddess. It was because the process was too slow that he could only watch as she was taken away, too.
He hated it!
Looking back, if only he had been more forceful back then, could they have really escaped him?
```
He was just too slow, too focused on the process, which is why he ended up leaving them to Xu Ran.
And now he had come to understand his previous mistake. He didn't want any damned love; he only wanted that pale, tender body.
"Goodness? Such a word is truly jarring when applied to you."
Purple Pearl sneered. Now that she had no hope of survival, she no longer cared about Tang San's strength. Tang San had already killed so many people; what more was there for her to fear?
There was no returning to the past now.
The Pearl Island of today was no longer the Pearl Island of the past.
"Say whatever you like. I don't care anymore. Once I have overwhelming strength, no one will be able to humiliate me again." Tang San clenched his fist tightly.
Purple Pearl looked at Tang San, somewhat surprised.
Tang San's strength was so formidable that with a wave of his hand, he could slaughter a thousand men.
So many people were dead in a few breaths.
With Tang San's terrifying strength, did he still have any rivals?
"No matter how strong you are, that's all there is to it. In the end, there's still someone who can punish you. With that, I can rest easy. Even if you killed everyone on my Pearl Island, I could leave in peace, knowing that someone could still take you down. That person must be incredibly strong, even you are not his match. It's a pity I won't have the chance to witness his elegance." Purple Pearl managed a mournful smile.
It must be so; only someone extremely powerful could cause Tang San such pain. Many times stronger than Tang San; otherwise, Tang San wouldn't show such an expression.
"Don't you dare mention him." In a flash, Tang San was beside Purple Pearl, his hand gripping her neck tightly. Looking at the enchanting woman before him, murderous intent surged within him.
He despised this feeling.
Why wasn't she afraid?
He hated most when others said he was inferior to Xu Ran. What was Xu Ran? Xu Ran was only stronger than him before; the continent would be his, Tang San's, era from now on.
"You're angry because you're embarrassed?" Purple Pearl's smile grew even more radiant.
"Get lost!" Holding Purple Pearl's neck, Tang San ultimately did not kill her; he flung her fiercely to the ground.
"Purple Pearl, I urge you to submit to me sooner. Continuing your futile resistance is pointless. If you submit to me, I can easily make you a strong warrior in the future. Do you want to become a Titled Douluo warrior? Just become my woman, and you can instantly become a Titled Douluo," Tang San said indifferently.
He couldn't understand; why was there always someone who resisted him, despite being prepared?
"You don't understand women. In my eyes, even with strength like yours, if obtained so pathetically, it's meaningless. You're just a pitiful worm in my eyes."
Purple Pearl held her pale neck high, looking disdainfully at Tang San.
Even if Tang San's strength far exceeded hers, even if he could easily kill her, so what? What was the use of such bloody strength?
"Oh? You want these remaining people to die because of you?" Tang San waved his hand, and a baby appeared in his grasp. The infant wailed, its pitiful cries moving those who heard it.
But Tang San's heart had long turned cold; becoming Luo Sha meant he was heartless.
"Just a child, are you still human?" Purple Pearl glared at the man before her, who had lost all humanity, her fists clenched tight.
"A child? Not my child," Tang San said emotionlessly. He had witnessed his own clansmen, his relatives, die before his eyes. Watched as his loved ones were trampled by Xu Ran. After so many years, he had grown accustomed to it.
Strangers meant nothing to him.
"Strip, then kneel before me and beg me, become my servant, and I will let them go," Tang San said leisurely.
