70: Is humanity going to withdraw from the world stage?

The Golden Tiger King is coming, and humans cannot resist him!

Where will we go from here?

This world has changed!

...

As Xia Fan's battle with Storm Fury ended, Sister Bing and other surviving humans returned in fear, simultaneously shutting down the live broadcast.

However, videos of the Golden Tiger King's brutal killing of Storm Fury quickly spread online.

Countless netizens discussed the matter nervously and heatedly.

They even argued fiercely in the comment section, just to get more people to agree with their ideas.

A netizen named 'I Slay Gods in China' commented, "I believe everyone has seen the video of that battle, so I won't go into details."

"What I want to express is that humans no longer have the strength to fight against ferocious beasts, so we must prepare early."

"At least establish various measures such as underground shelters."

Soon, someone replied to this comment.

"What's the use of an underground shelter?"

"Even the Golden Tiger King can burrow into the ground, where else can you run?"

"If you ask me, everyone should build fortress cities and gather all people together."

After a while, someone else posted, "Now, one of the Four Beast Kings is gone, and the Golden Tiger King killed Storm Fury with an absolute advantage."

"How terrifying do you think the Golden Tiger King's strength is?"

Most people still don't know that the King Kong Giant Ape has become the Golden Tiger King's subordinate.

In their hearts, only strength-based ferocious beasts could contend with an existence like the Golden Tiger King, so someone commented, "I think the King Kong Giant Ape can try."

"Hehe, you are too naive..."

As the video spread, more and more people joined the discussion.

This led to the name of the Golden Tiger King becoming known to everyone in China!

...In the Northwest Desert.

The Magic Cat was still engrossed in his phone.

When he saw the relevant video, he immediately meowed a few times at Xia Fan in surprise, "Tiger Brother, you're famous!"

"Now humans are discussing the battle between the Golden Tiger King and Storm Fury."

"They think you are amazing."

"Golden Tiger King?"

After hearing how humans referred to him, Xia Fan was stunned for a moment, then growled with a look of disdain, "This name is too lame, isn't it? It's not even as good as Storm Fury."

"Anyway, they already know how powerful you are..."

The Magic Cat looked proud and continued to happily scroll through short videos.

Seeing this, Xia Fan smiled helplessly, then let out a low growl, "Hold on tight, let's go!"

The next moment, he cast Storm Art and flew straight into the air, his pair of sharp tiger eyes meticulously searching.

His purpose for this trip was only for the skyfall meteorite.

Earlier, he had rushed over directly because he was worried that Storm Fury might have obtained it, but it wasn't as he had imagined.

Therefore, killing Storm Fury and gaining its ability was merely an unexpected bonus for Xia Fan.

Now he was going to truly begin the goal of this trip, striving to improve his strength as quickly as possible!

But the Northwest Desert is vast and boundless, and the extraterrestrial meteorite iron is not a very obvious existence, so finding it is relatively troublesome.

Fortunately, the Magic Cat occasionally relayed human news to him, otherwise, this journey would have been very boring...Imperial Capital.

Professor Professor Xia Xinyu carefully watched the video of the Golden Tiger King's great battle with Storm Fury.

In his eyes, rather than a great battle between two sides, it was more like a crushing display by the Golden Tiger King.

Beside him, his assistant, seeing that he wasn't speaking, pondered for a moment before softly saying, "Professor, you have watched this video more than ten times. You should get some rest."

"Our Research Institute still needs your leadership, so you must maintain your condition."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Professor Xia Xinyu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "This time, has anyone volunteered to become a new experimental subject?"

"..."

For a moment, the assistant fell silent.

Before this great battle, even though they hadn't started yet, many ability users were willing to take enhancement potions to further improve their strength.

In this era where ferocious beasts were growing stronger, ability users all wanted to become the saviors of humanity, to be the focus of everyone's attention.

But reality did not cooperate.

Now, the ability users were all afraid, worried that the next time they encountered a powerful ferocious beast, they would be directly sent out to die in vain.

Seeing this, Professor Xia Xinyu sighed deeply, seemingly to himself, "I thought the China War God I cultivated could contend with powerful ferocious beasts, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect him to die in Storm Fury's mouth after just one encounter."

"And this Golden Tiger King can easily kill Storm Fury!"

"How can such an ability user be called the China War God?"

The assistant sensed the professor's inner loneliness and, after a few seconds of contemplation, comforted him, "Professor, this is not your fault."

"You have put in countless efforts for the rise of humanity and to help ability users grow stronger."

"We just underestimated the power of these ferocious beasts, but as long as you give us some more time, we will definitely be able to counterattack."

To be honest, Professor Xia Xinyu was under immense pressure right now, which was why his assistant had always stayed by his side.

To create a War God, the live broadcast of this great battle was officially organized.

Not only did the anticipated effect not appear, but it also greatly dampened human morale.

Now, rumors of the end of the world were flying everywhere online.

Therefore, some officials blamed Professor Xia Xinyu for all of this, and some extremists even directly called for the cancellation of funding for the Research Institute.

Instead of exploring ways to enhance ability users, it would be better to vigorously develop thermal weapons.

The war between the Golden Tiger King and Storm Fury ended, but the war among humans continued.

"The gap between us humans and ferocious beasts has not only not narrowed, but has grown wider and wider."

Professor Xia Xinyu did not respond to his assistant's comfort.

He stared at the laboratory opposite, seemingly muttering to himself, "Although this battle failed, fortunately, valuable video data was preserved."

"If things continue to develop as shown in the video, we humans will sooner or later withdraw from the world stage."

After saying this, the assistant suddenly noticed that an endless fighting spirit, filled with deep unwillingness and tenacity, surged from Professor Xia Xinyu.

Under his astonished gaze, Professor Xia Xinyu stood up and said with a firm expression, "But—for the sake of humanity's future, we must not give up, no matter what."

"And only by studying ferocious beasts is the fastest way to improve human strength."

"Next time, I will definitely cultivate even stronger ability users!"
