Xiang Yu asked curiously, "This cat doesn't have a Whisperer on it, so why is it helping you?"
The little girl thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because we fed him before."
"He's the smartest cat I've ever seen, but it's a pity he won't give me the chance to be a whisperer. What a proud cat," the boy said regretfully.
Just then, a wolf's howl shattered the silence of the night.
The black cat outside the window suddenly jumped up, making growling noises.
The dogs in the city started barking wildly, and even Atai was no exception.
In three years, the wolf population, now without natural predators, grew rapidly and finally ventured into what was once human territory.
The boy hugged his sister tightly. "Don't be afraid, the wolf is still far away. Besides, there are so many stray dogs in our city, even if the wolf comes, it might not be able to gain the upper hand."
"Do you want to leave here and go to a big city?" Xiang Yu suddenly asked.
"Are there still big cities now?" the boy asked, his expression somber.
“Yes,” Xiang Yu added, “I can take you there. I need to investigate some things there; life is much better than here.”
“But this place is too remote, and there are countless dangers on the road. Atai…” The boy hesitated, because Atai was simply too weak.
"It's alright, don't forget I'm a god," Xiang Yu laughed.
"Then I'll go talk to Uncle Feng. After all, he's Atai's whisperer, and we all listen to him." The boy made up his mind. He didn't care about himself, but his sister needed a better life.
“No need to discuss it anymore, I agree. This city won’t last more than a few days; we’ll have to leave sooner or later anyway, so we might as well give it our all now. I’ve heard those ads on the radio from big cities recruiting whisperers before. The radio stations there are still functioning properly, so maybe human civilization still exists,” Uncle Feng sighed.
"Civilization does still exist, but it might not be what you imagine." Xiang Yu thought to himself, if the problem of humans shrinking can never be solved, then cats and dogs will probably become the rulers of this planet.
"Then I'll go and inform the others. Get a good rest tonight, and we'll set off at dawn." Uncle Feng was a straightforward man.
"We'll listen to Uncle Feng." A smile appeared on the boy's face, but he quickly became preoccupied again.
I'm leaving this city tomorrow. I hope everything goes well.
"God of Wine, haven't you found a way to restore your body yet?" Xiang Yu asked in his heart.
"Not yet. The God's Shop doesn't have any such items or antidotes. It's as if this has never happened before in this plane."
Hao Jiu was also having a headache. Several miraculous medicines that could enlarge the body and eliminate negative effects had no effect. Even Xiang Yu couldn't return to his original size, let alone ordinary people.
"If Feather God wants to return to his original size, why not learn a transformation technique, like turning into a giant or something?" Hao Jiu suggested.
"Can't the Overlord God Realm just change the size of my body at will? Why should I learn anything else? Besides, even if I return to my original size, these people will still be ants. What's the point of my grand vow? I can't stay here to protect them forever, can I?"
Xiang Yu felt very uncomfortable. Even among the hundred races of the Spirit Realm, the human race was now the most powerful race, and in the Immortal Realm, the human race dominated.
How come humans have become ants here?
If I didn't know, that would be one thing, but since I've already encountered this situation, I have to solve it no matter what.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Perhaps the Feather God can help them cultivate domineering aura. Once they become stronger, many problems will be easily solved."
Hao Jiu felt that restoring everyone to their normal size would be extremely difficult, so he was also considering a second plan: to enhance human physical abilities. If everyone were like Superman, what difference would it make if they were small? It would perfectly solve the problem of insufficient land.
"That's a solution, but cultivation won't be easy..." Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Immediately notify the Sage and have him design a mini version of the Yuan Energy Training Machine. Remember, it's for humans the size of ants!"
Hao Jiu suddenly realized, "That's right, it's best if it can be used in batches. It doesn't matter if it's a bit large. Whisperers can solve the problem of operating the equipment!"
"Very good, it's settled then. Let the Sage work overtime and get it done as soon as possible." The more Xiang Yu thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. Once humanity had the ability to protect itself, he could then focus all his efforts on investigating the reason why humans were shrinking.
Just then, another wolf howl echoed throughout the city, this time from a much closer distance.
The barking of dogs in the city grew louder and louder. Atai barked and ran around aimlessly, seemingly trying to find a safer place to hide.
Uncle Feng ran back, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until dawn. We have to leave immediately and go out from the other side. I don't think those stray dogs can hold out for long. We have no choice but to give it our all!"
"We can't go that way; there's an ambush there, and a pack of wolves," Xiang Yu said calmly.
"What! How did you know?" Uncle Feng looked at Xiang Yu in shock. This man cured Atai with medicine and was considered a benefactor to all of them. But later he made some grand vow and made wild claims about saving the world. He felt that this man was a bit unreliable. Could he be a madman?
“Because he is a god,” the boy interjected.
“That’s right, I am a god, your hope.” Xiang Yu said, then shouted, “Hey cat outside, do you want to come with us?”
Meow~
The black cat jumped in suddenly, a clever move.
"Let's go then." Xiang Yu said, then jumped onto the black cat's head. "Rise!"
Amidst the screams of the crowd, a cat and a dog flew out of the window, circled once in the sky above the city, and headed straight for a metropolis thousands of miles away.
At this moment, the wolf pack outside the city rushed into the city, but the first few wolves were instantly turned into pieces of meat!
Chapter 556 The Mastermind
Awooo...
After a wolf howl, hundreds of wolves turned and left the city.
Wolves are not stupid to begin with, and with the dramatic changes in human society, animal intelligence has increased, so they are even less likely to be stupid.
The reason why humans almost wiped out wolves in the past was because of guns; the sound of a gun could mean the death of a wolf.
Now, without hearing that sound, many wolves have turned into mincemeat, simply because they have approached the town.
Even the most foolish wolf king would realize that humans hadn't disappeared, nor had they become weaker; in fact, they had become stronger!
But in today's world, the space needed by humans has been greatly reduced, while the living space for wild animals is infinitely vast, so there is really no need for wolves to enter towns.
Of course, if the city is only guarded by a few stray dogs, then it's not a big deal to turn the town into their territory. After all, the wolf pack is growing, and sooner or later it will be too crowded.
As the wolf pack grew in number and the individuals became more intelligent, the wolf alpha, having become arrogant and inflated by its increased strength, began to think about how it had been bullied by humans in the past and now wanted to retaliate. It is only natural for wolves to want to replace humans as the dominant species.
However, she is still a bit naive.
Even without Xiang Yu's intervention, these wolves could at most only occupy those abandoned cities.
In three years, the wolf population has multiplied significantly, recovering from an endangered species to its current state of abundance. Humans coexist with cats and dogs in the form of whisperers, so how can we not focus on increasing their numbers?
Especially large dogs, those elite dogs that were once used as military dogs, reproduced one litter after another, and as long as there was enough food, the more the better.
In reality, there was no particular shortage of food. The grain stored in the granaries alone was enough to feed the entire city for a long time. After all, humans, who used to be the biggest consumers of food, had become as small as ants. Instead of a hundred people sharing a bag of rice, a hundred people were now sharing a single grain of rice. Slaughtering a pig would be enough to feed the whole city for a long time.
Today, major cities all have a military dog unit, they're just short of being able to march in formation. The combination of whisperers and military dogs is far more powerful than a wolf pack.
In the primeval forest, wolves may be stronger, but in the modern city, the outcome is decided as soon as a gunshot is fired.
Can you believe that a well-trained military dog can use its paws to disengage the safety, then bite a pistol with its teeth and flick it with its tongue?
Of course, the accuracy rate is probably so low that it's unlikely to hit its own people, and whether it can hit the enemy depends on luck, but the deterrent effect is enough. A reinforced company is enough to defend a bridge.
A cat and a dog in the sky were trembling slightly, lying there motionless, incredibly well-behaved.
The journey to the distant metropolis took only a few minutes, even though Xiang Yu deliberately slowed down to see the situation along the way.
Atai's head was filled with residents, and looking down at the brightly lit metropolis below gave him a feeling of coming home. This is what the human world should look like.
Or perhaps, it's just like what you'd expect in their small county town: the roads are wide, but there aren't many cars on the road, and they all drive very slowly.
Looking down, wow, there was a husky in the driver's seat! Atai was stunned. They were both dogs, but how could there be such a difference? This guy was even driving a car! Did he learn those driving skills from a bumper car instructor?
"Watch out!" Uncle Feng exclaimed.
The husky, who had been staring blankly with its head tilted to the side, finally came to its senses and jerked the steering wheel. It managed to control the car with great difficulty. Luckily, there was only one car on this stretch of road, so it wasn't a big deal.
The dogs in the carriage were all laughing. How dare they drive with this level of skill?
Woof woof woof...
The husky disagreed and explained that there was a cat and a dog flying in the sky nearby, and that dog was an old teddy bear!
The dog below, who was responsible for stepping on the brakes and had a sly grin on its face, curiously poked its head out to look, but it didn't see anything.
"You'd better keep an eye on your husky. How can it lie?" the Akita Whisperer said seriously.
"Maybe I'm seeing things?" The husky whisperer had seen it clearly just now and couldn't possibly be wrong, but who would believe such a thing?
...
Inside the government building, on the desk in the former mayor's office, sits a small toy house, fully furnished, but all made of plastic.
A lazy orange cat was lying next to the toy house. These days, there aren't many pets that can live comfortably without having to hunt for food. Because he was the boss's cat, his job was just to protect the boss and help him make phone calls.
Suddenly, the orange cat's ears twitched, then its eyes widened abruptly, and all its fur stood on end.
"Meow..."
"Quiet, Orange," the whisperer said woodenly. "Old Li, come out and see the immortals."
"What kind of deity? Am I seeing things?" The bespectacled old man came to the edge of the toy house and looked out the office window. A bright moon shone in the sky, and there was an old teddy bear next to it.
Click.
The window opened, and a black cat flew in, followed closely by Teddy.
At this moment, several cats also crawled in from outside the door, clearly acting as guards.
"You may all leave for now. We are your guests, please come into our home for a chat," the old man said loudly.
The black cat leaped lightly and landed on the desk.
Then.
Xiang Yu arrived, stepping through the air, and stood beside the old man. "Are you the administrator of this city?"
"I suppose so. You can call me Old Li, but who are you, sir? I didn't believe in gods before, but now I have no choice but to. How can you fly?" The old man couldn't help but ask, as this was even more unbelievable to him than the shrinking of all humanity.
"You should have heard of my name. I am Yu Shen." Xiang Yu looked at the house in front of him. To be honest, the size of the house was still too big for modern humans.
The old man's gaze sharpened. "You are the Feather God?"
How could he not have heard the Feather God's declaration of salvation? But he did not believe it, and even thought that some people with ulterior motives were using some kind of modern technology to play tricks.
As a result, a living deity is now standing in front of him.
"Seeing is not necessarily believing, but I can let you feel it." After saying that, Xiang Yu used his domineering energy to slowly drag the old man up and put him on the large bed that the old man had never climbed onto before.
"Could you make me bigger?" the old man asked somewhat nervously.
"If by 'getting bigger' you mean your body getting bigger, I'm afraid that's not possible for now. I need to find out why you've shrunk first, and then I can address the problem accordingly. You should know something about this, right?"
