I am a fox in the prehistoric times

Chapter 906 Houtu's Speculation on the Underground Tunnel

Houtu, the creature closest to the tunnel, clearly felt the joy within it. She also took this opportunity to experience the deep-seated wounds hidden within the tunnel that she had never felt before.

When Houtu was reincarnated, she only felt the immense power of the Earthly Dao. As for the Earthly Dao, which was clearly on par with the Heavenly Dao, it was obviously inferior to the Heavenly Dao. Houtu only thought that this was simply because the Heavenly Dao was born earlier, which made the Earthly Dao lag far behind the Heavenly Dao!

As for the Human Path, which Nuwa governs, it is one of the three paths, but Houtu is very clear that the strength of the Human Path is linked to the development of the prehistoric beings and does not have much reference value!

However, the deeply hidden injuries in the tunnel, combined with the tunnel's own authority, made Houtu realize the flaws in her previous viewpoint!

Houtu speculated that at the beginning of the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao were equal and their power was balanced. However, compared to the Earthly Dao, the Heavenly Dao emerged at a higher level and gained an advantage in the primordial world!

As for the Earthly Path, it is different from the Heavenly Path. It was only fully revived when Houtu completed the cycle of reincarnation. Its birth time was far behind that of the Heavenly Path, and it had much less development time than the Heavenly Path!

Besides, since there was no creator god to suppress the world, the strength of the world was not as high as the grade of the world. In addition, the Earthly Dao had not yet awakened, and its authority was carried out by the Heavenly Dao. Because the Heavenly Dao was not proficient in its duties, its maintenance of the primordial land was better than nothing.

After being ravaged by countless calamities, the earth veins of the prehistoric world all have some problems, especially the western earth veins, which were directly blown up by that madman Rahu. If it weren't for the timely repairs by the beings of Qingqiu, the prehistoric earth veins might have been in even worse shape!

The damage to the earth's veins naturally caused some damage to the underground passage. The internal manifestation was the deep-hidden injuries that were difficult to detect without careful examination. As for the external manifestation, it was the underground passage's power that was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Dao!

Of course, this also involves the suppression of the Earthly Dao by the Heavenly Dao. According to Houtu's master Bai Zhen, she also knew that before the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Dao occurred, Bai Zhen had discovered Luo Hou's conspiracy. Originally, Bai Zhen planned to quietly thwart Luo Hou's scheme, but was thwarted by the Heavenly Dao. In the end, only the spiritual veins at the junction of the East and West were relatively well preserved.

Getting back to the main point, Houtu had no intention of revealing her speculations. After all, what's done is done, and no amount of talking could undo the damage!

However, it is still very necessary to look to the future while focusing on the present. Houtu understands that although the spiritual veins of the Western Lands have initially established a connection and completed their cycle after the sacrifice of two saints' bodies, the Western spiritual veins are still in an extremely fragile period, and it is essential to take good care of them!

To prevent any foolish individuals from damaging the western earth veins and giving the tunnels another severe blow, Houtu, after finishing her speculations, immediately sent a message to her senior brother Zhen Yuanzi, asking him to arrange for experts from the Earth Immortal Palace to guard the western earth veins!

Although Zhen Yuanzi did not control the underground passage, as the second most powerful being with it and the executor of some of its authority, he naturally felt the passage's jubilation!

As for why the Earthly Dao was so overjoyed, he already knew when the merit fell to the West. Moreover, even if he couldn't see the merit filling the sky, the Earth Book in his hand was not useless. With the Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi could clearly feel the changes in the Western spiritual veins!

Upon receiving Houtu's message, he immediately ordered all available experts in the Earth Immortal Palace, as well as the beings of the Earth Immortal Palace guarding the Western Spiritual Vein, to come for a meeting!

While waiting for the summoned members of the Earth Immortal Mansion to arrive, Zhen Yuanzi began to silently consider how to arrange the defense of the town!

After all the members arrived, Zhen Yuanzi didn't bother to explain anything. He directly assigned them tasks according to their abilities and instilled this knowledge into their minds. Then, without lingering, he sent them off to complete the tasks he had given them!
