Chapter 522: Chapter 519: The Beginning of Enslavement_1

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, the Long-Armed Ape could not deny his anger.

Any creature, when hearing that its life is entirely in the hands of another, that a casual word could dictate its life and death, how can it will ever be happy.

At this moment, the Long-Armed Ape glared maliciously at Yang Chen, forcibly suppressing its rage. It knew that Yang Chen was not bluffing, as he was too calm.

“However!”

At this point, Yang Chen continued: “I differ from the Great Emperor, Emperor Tiandu trapped you here, but I do not seek to imprison you here!”

“Human, just say what you want to say, our Long-Armed Ape clan has never been foolish,” the Long-Armed Ape barked.

“Simple. Submit to me,” Yang Chen replied without hesitation.

The Long-Armed Ape, visibly angry, laughed out loud: “Human, is this your idea of a joke? submit to you? How could our noble Long-Armed Ape clan possibly submit to you humans?”

“Long-Armed Ape clan, don’t you think what you’re saying is foolish?”

Yang Chen responded lazily: “If you wish to die, I can oblige you now. But clearly, I don’t see the desire for death in your eyes. Your current attitude might seem arrogant and untamed. But in reality, it will only cause you more suffering.”

“You’ve been trapped by Emperor Tiandu for a thousand years. I can do the same. A thousand years, or even two thousand, three thousand years, until your death. You will suffer and live in agony here, alone and desperate. Doesn’t such a life seem unbearable?”

As Yang Chen spoke, a sense of fear grew in the Long-Armed Ape’s heart.

Yang Chen was right.

A thousand years…

How had it survived this past thousand years?

The pain was unbearable, the time close to breaking it.

It didn’t think it could survive another millennium!

Would it have to live like this until its death?

Yang Chen calmly said: “Well, Long-Armed Ape, if you still want to live this way, let me know. I won’t kill you, but I will leave right away!”

“Wait,” the desperate Long-Armed Ape shouted.

A smile lifted at the corner of Yang Chen’s mouth, indicating that the Long-Armed Ape had wavered.

The Long-Armed Ape stared at Yang Chen, “You can really control the whole Secret Realm’s restrictions?”

“Certainly,” Yang Chen answered.

“What can you offer me if I submit to you?” asked the Long-Armed Ape.

Yang Chen patiently replied: “I can let you see the sunlight again, give you certain freedoms, and ensure that you no longer have to live this dreary existence.”

“That’s not enough,” the Long-Armed Ape snarled.

“Long-Armed Ape, it seems you’ve misunderstood something. I’m asking for your submission, not a partnership. If you feel humiliated, I’m sorry, but you can refuse anytime. I need to make it clear that you don’t have the right to negotiate with me. What I’m offering you is a charity, not a deal. Understand?” Yang Chen answered impassively.

He was not a merciless person.

But these were Demon Beasts captured by Emperor Tiandu; he had no grounds to be lenient.

Agitated, the Long-Armed Ape hadn’t expected this level of caution from Yang Chen!

It had thought that by negotiating further, it could take advantage of the young human. However, its notion was naive.

It wanted to reject the offer, but the loneliness of the past thousand years…

The Long-Armed Ape stared deeply into Yang Chen’s eyes and said: “I… I am willing to submit!”

“Good, since you are willing to submit, let me implant this Slave Restriction in your being,” said Yang Chen.

“What, Slave Restriction?” The Long-Armed Ape gasped in shock.

It had expected that Yang Chen would impose certain restrictions after its submission but hadn’t anticipated that Yang Chen would use the Slave Restriction. They knew the horrifying extent of this method. Once it was established, there would never be any possibility of overturning its fate.

Yang Chen had an unexpected counter in mind. If the countermeasure weren’t too special, the Long-Armed Ape could make Yang Chen regret underestimating it.

But now…

Upon consideration, the Long-Armed Ape conceded.

Could it really control its fate without the Slave Restriction from Yang? Could it really overturn its destiny?

The Long-Armed Ape visibly scoffed at its own self-delusion and finally compromised: “Alright, I agree!”

When the Long-Armed Ape agreed, Yang Chen implanted the Slave Restriction in its head without further trouble. The Ape showed no resistance throughout the process. It knew that its methods would be useless once Yang had the power to manipulate these restrictions.

After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Yang Chen had successfully placed the Slave Restriction in the Long-Armed Ape’s mind.

The Long-Armed Ape looked limp and lifeless. It took a while to regain its senses, locking eyes with Yang Chen, and addressed him: “Master!”

“You may call me Young Master,” said Yang Chen.

He wasn’t comfortable being addressed as “Master”.

The Long-Armed Ape dared not refuse and quickly responded: “Young Master!”

Having the restriction within its mind, it could feel the power of the limitation, the power of Yang Chen’s blood within it. It couldn’t entertain the slightest thought of rebellion against its new master, much less an attempt to harm him. Otherwise, the restriction would instantly kill it.

This terrified the Long-Armed Ape. As it gazed at Yang Chen, all it could think about was finding a way to please him and gain benefits for itself.

At this moment, Yang Chen observed the Long-Armed Ape’s respectful and fearful demeanor, and nodded in satisfaction. He could feel the restriction’s influence over the ape.

Since that was the case, he could now deal with the second Demon Beast.

After all, Yu Ban had made four Slave Restrictions in the past, meaning Yang Chen could use these to control four Demon Beasts.

“Long-Armed Ape, you are the first Demon Beast I’ve subdued. I will treat you well. Soon, I will be dealing with the second Demon Beast. I hope you can comment and express your opinions. That way, I can favor you with more benefits in the future,” said Yang Chen calmly.
