Chapter 163 - Commotion on the Internet (1/2)

The old farmer continued to look absolutely confident in himself, as if he had become a god.

Everyone had realized by then that it was not simply an old farmer in front of them. The farmer was only enthralled; it had been the White Ape King talking all the while.

“You humans have taken all the advantage in the past eras, but now that spirit qi is restored to the world, all living beings shall stand on the same starting line again, and you people won’t have so much of an advantage,” the farmer continued with great confidence.

Many were silent as they watched the ongoing inquiry in front of their computers. What the old farmer said made them think, as humans really did not seem to have that much of an advantage in the new era.

In the past, humanity had most prided themselves on their intellectual capacity, which dwarfed all that of other beings. However, with spirit qi being restored, monsters like these would be able to gradually develop intelligence comparable to humans.

If that were to happen, the one thing that humanity took pride in the most would be reduced to nothing.

In an era like that, common folks would have no way of resisting those beasts who had turned into monsters.

The White Ape King had been able to cause over ten thousand deaths in one single night while just running away. Such a thought made a lot of people shiver.

It was especially frightening given how there were increasingly more such monsters to be found, and their numbers were great enough to take over territories for themselves.

They began to wonder if the last bastions of humanity would be reduced to the big cities that currently existed, while all the woods and mountains would be taken over by monster kings instead.

“You want to take territory away from Huaxia, then? In your dreams!” The official representative gritted their teeth while he said this.

“No one would be allowed to do something like that, humans or monsters alike!”

The old farmer simply smirked condescendingly at the official and continued, “That’s not up to you. While it doesn’t matter to the animals who don’t know any better, we monsters absolutely need to have territories of our own. That’s not my decision alone, but the decision of every monster king out there.”

What that old farmer had just said threw the internet into chaos.

The decision of every monster king out there? Was that to say that they were all in contact with each other, then?

So the monsters have already formed a league or something behind our backs?

…

Many who heard that felt all the hairs on their bodies stand up. The White Ape King alone had made all of them very uneasy and restless, and the situation could only be made worse if there were a whole group monster kings who were communicating with each other in secret.

That notion was more than enough to mess with the mental state of many onlookers.

At that moment, they truly came to feel deeply about this threat to humanity’s dominance. There would be only greater and greater, instead of fewer and fewer, numbers of monsters becoming intelligent as time passed. People even wondered if the cultivation levels of the monsters would get so high, and their combat prowess so strong, that not even nuclear ordnance would be enough to take them out.

It was not impossible, after all.

“If you people won’t agree to hand Shennongjia over, then I shall kill over ten thousand humans every day as your punishment.”

It felt like a tidal wave had hit the internet.

Kill that thing! We absolutely can’t afford to leave that monkey be!

We definitely can’t yield, even if we have to turn all of Shennongjia into scorched earth!

That’s a declaration of war, and we have nowhere to run!

All of the internet was saying that war was upon them, and everyone who lived near Shennongjia began to panic.

Shennongjia was just too huge of a place.

No one could tell where that white ape actually was at the moment. It could really pop out of anywhere.

The population density of Huaxia was such that targeting any single city or town would likely result in massive bloodshed.

Many had even begun packing and getting ready to leave.
