Ye Chen said coldly, "Two choices: either become my servant for ten thousand years, or become my puppet."
"And don't even think about suicide. Within my world, even if you want to kill yourselves or self-destruct, you cannot. Even if your physical bodies and divine souls are shattered, I can still use the Time-Space Emperor Technique to reverse it, reassemble you, and refine you into puppets all the same. If you don't believe me, you can try."
He was like a heartless emperor, giving the countless powerhouses of the All Heavens Forces two choices.
The powerhouses of the All Heavens all struggled, hesitant and uncertain.
Naturally, they did not wish to become the Battle Saint King's servants, even if it was only for ten thousand years of servitude. They did not wish it.
But they wished even less to be refined into puppets, unable to rest in peace after death.
At this moment, intense struggle appeared on all their faces.
At this point, the thirteen Quasi-Monarchs were even more so. They were all at the peak of the Divine King realm, having sublimated to the extreme, only a single step away from becoming true Ancient Monarchs. Taking that step would make them true overlords revered throughout the ages.
With their arrogant mindsets, they naturally did not wish to become another's servant; not even an Ancient Monarch would have the qualification to command them.
However, the Battle Saint King possessed other means, ensuring they would find no peace even in death, to be refined into puppets.
At this time, the Starry Sky Quasi-Monarch appeared quite hesitant and said, "Battle Saint King, could you give us a few days to consider?"
"Indeed, the two choices are too difficult. At least give us a few days to consider properly."
Others also spoke up one after another, making the same request.
However, how could Ye Chen not see clearly that this was clearly just a delay tactic?
Their suppression would inevitably cause a huge shockwave throughout the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, especially since they were all top-tier powerhouses from their respective races, not to be ignored.
He believed that soon, once the various races' Ancient Monarchs learned of this, they would rush over immediately. By then, they would no longer face such a perilous situation; on the contrary, they would have time to escape.
But Ye Chen was very cold and directly said, "Now. Immediately. Otherwise, if you are unwilling to make a decision, I will assume by default that you wish to be refined into puppets."
"How dare you!"
A Quasi-Monarch of exceptionally handsome appearance shouted loudly, his eyes instantly widening.
It must be said he was truly extremely handsome, even more so than many women, yet without any feminine softness.
Moreover, as a Quasi-Monarch, he possessed boundless added charm, the ideal partner for countless women. Dressed in a moon-white robe, he appeared particularly heroic and outstanding, with an immortal divine bearing. Even his hair strands shimmered with the light of Dao principles, appearing extraordinarily sacred.
He was called Heng Yu Zhun Junwang, a native Quasi-Monarch of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. He had only cultivated for seventy thousand years, considered very young, possessing the potential to become an Ancient Monarch, and was also hailed as a future Ancient Monarch.
His father was Heng Gu Junwang, a renowned and illustrious Ancient Monarch of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, a monarch who rose during the Dark Blood Era, revered throughout the world for endless ages. Even during the era when the Nine Clans and Eighteen Kingdoms dominated, he remained independent.
Now, even with the arrival of the Imperial Clan, Immortal Clan, and others, he was an ancient existence not to be lightly offended.
Heng Yu Zhun Junwang was a son born to Heng Gu Junwang in his later years, also the most beloved and most talented of his offspring. In a mere seventy thousand years, he had become a Quasi-Monarch, and becoming an Ancient Monarch was within sight.
Naturally, because of this, he was also extremely arrogant and fierce-tempered.
Hearing the Battle Saint King demand he make a decision immediately—either become a servant or be refined into a puppet, neither of which was acceptable—he now soared into the air, standing opposite Ye Chen at the same height, and said coldly, "Battle Saint King, although you are strong and possess this Saint Monarch Ruler Body, my father Heng Yu is Heng Gu Junwang, an Ancient Monarch who rose during the Dark Blood Era. Once he arrives, even your Saint Monarch Ruler Body will be suppressed."
"I advise you to be sensible, obediently release me and the others. Otherwise, when the Ancient Monarchs of the All Heavens truly arrive, the consequences will be far beyond what your mere human race can bear."
Ye Chen looked at him calmly and said evenly, "Finished speaking?"
Heng Yu Zhun Junwang's expression changed.
"If you're finished, then go die."
As soon as the words fell, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body beside him made a move, covering the void and grabbing Heng Yu Zhun Junwang directly.
"Ah—"
Heng Yu Zhun Junwang erupted with all his power. The Quasi-Monarch aura, containing faint threads of monarchial heavenly might, erupted in full force, as if countless volcanoes were erupting, enough to shatter a fundamental world.
But all of this was forcibly suppressed within the palm of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Looking down from above, ignoring Heng Yu Zhun Junwang's struggles and pleas, a deafening boom echoed. Surging blood light shot into the sky, flooding an area of who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.
Heng Yu Zhun Junwang, a supreme Quasi-Monarch, had his Quasi-Monarch body crushed—so easily, far simpler than killing a chicken.
"Ah—"
Heng Yu Zhun Junwang's Quasi-Monarch soul appeared, but still could not escape, being caught once more.
"Battle Saint King, spare me! This lord—no, I—I dare not anymore. I beg you to spare me. I am willing to become your servant."
At this point, Heng Yu Zhun Junwang's will to survive erupted completely. He did not hesitate to beg for mercy before all the powerhouses of the All Heavens Forces, hoping only that Ye Chen would let him go, not kill him.
"Very good."
Ye Chen nodded. Just as Heng Yu Zhun Junwang breathed a sigh of relief, that voice, as cold and heartless as ever, continued to ring out: "Unfortunately, it's too late. I can only kill one to warn a hundred."
His hand clenched fiercely.
Boom—
Soul light shot into the sky. It was Heng Yu Zhun Junwang's Quasi-Monarch soul being torn apart, directly exploding.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body continuously attacked, tearing this Quasi-Monarch soul apart many times, even annihilating all the True Spirit light within it, turning it into a soulless, masterless Quasi-Monarch soul.
Holding this Quasi-Monarch soul with annihilated True Spirit, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked down from above, gazing at the powerhouses of the All Heavens Forces below, and said coldly, "Now, I give you one chance. Are you willing to become my servants, or do you wish to be refined into puppets?"
At this moment, even the "ten thousand year" time limit was gone; they were to become servants completely.
But the powerhouses of the All Heavens Forces dared to be angry but not speak. Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Battle Saint King and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body that could suppress and kill Quasi-Monarchs with ease, they all sighed inwardly and made the difficult agreement—
They were willing to become servants!
On this day, twelve Quasi-Monarchs, one hundred and twenty-seven Divine Kings, and thousands upon thousands of Great Powers and Heavenly Kings from the All Heavens Forces were all enslaved, implanted with servitude seeds, becoming Ye Chen's servants.
Those who did not submit were all refined into puppets.
During this, including the two Quasi-Monarchs killed earlier and the five Quasi-Monarchs suppressed later, seeing this situation, unwilling as they were, also became Ye Chen's servants.
Thus, Ye Chen now possessed seventeen Quasi-Monarch servants. Adding the three Giant Divine Soldiers, that made a total of twenty Quasi-Monarch-level forces.
This did not include the three Quasi-Monarchs like Heng Yu Zhun Junwang and Ice Monarch who had not been refined.
For a time, his strength had increased by who knows how many levels.
At the very least, supplementing the Chaos Heavenly Mansion with this force could directly elevate it to become the number one force in the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, second only to the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls and the deepest parts of the vast uninhabited regions.
The appearance of so many servants also made Ye Chen's confidence surge many times over.
After taking them as servants, he also learned quite a bit of information.
