Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"And those experts, they obviously came because of him," Zhu Jiuyin analyzed.

He kept a close eye on the powerful individuals who came to provide support.

Despite their claims that they came for humanity.

But in reality, only Zhou Yi truly deserves our respect.

Although Suihuang and others were the ancestors of the human race, they might not have obeyed commands as they did with the Book of Changes.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. What the human race needs right now is recovery and development, so it won't have much impact on us."

Di Hong concluded.

"Our priority now is to perfect the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation."

"When the time is right, we will completely annihilate the demon race, and the primordial continent will be ours."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Today is indeed a rare opportunity, when facing Taiyi God and Di Jun.

They had considered activating the grand formation directly to eliminate the two in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, a sage was watching over them and wouldn't let them succeed so easily.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

Wu Gou noticed something unusual about the thick soil.

She has been sitting quietly ever since she came in, seemingly deep in thought.

"Oh, brother, I have something to take care of and I need to go out for a bit."

Hou Tu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said...

The others did not suspect anything and agreed to her request.

"Come back soon, there's still a lot to do."

Di Hong gave a few instructions, and Hou Tu simply nodded silently. Then, she casually grabbed Yu Qiang and rushed out with the speed of a whirlwind. Before Yu Qiang could react, he was already lifted up and followed Hou Tu out the door.

"Sister, put me down! I can walk by myself!" Yu Qiang shouted. "Where are we going?"

He looked at the thick earth ahead with a puzzled expression. The direction they were heading was clearly towards the area inhabited by humans.

But what puzzled him was that they hadn't chosen to stay there before, but now they were turning back. He muttered to himself, "This trip is really inexplicable."

Is another secret mission waiting for him? Hopefully, it won't be anything too troublesome.

"The hundred-year deadline is approaching, we must go back," Hou Tu said without turning his head.

Yu Qiang mentally calculated the time, and it was indeed approaching the hundred-year agreement they had initially discussed. But he didn't understand what this had to do with him. Was he going to be forced to do something again?

Just as he was feeling helpless, Hou Tu suddenly said, "There's barbecue to eat, do you want to come along?" Upon hearing this, Yu Qiang's initial reluctance immediately disappeared.

Barbecue, that's a rare delicacy! This trip is worth it just for this food.

So he hurriedly followed.

"Sister, is there a special purpose for this trip?" he asked. "Is it to lure him into our witch clan?" He had barely uttered the words "honey trap" when a huge fist slammed into his head. "Say one more word and get lost!" Hou Tu said, somewhat annoyed.

She brought him along simply to make up the number of people and ensure that they wouldn't be discovered during the operation.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qiang has become unusually talkative lately.

The two deliberately stayed in the tribe of Houtu for another two years, until the hundred-year deadline arrived, before setting off for the Wilderness Kingdom.

When they arrived there, they were all stunned.

The food court had been restored to its former glory, bustling with people, as if the previous damage had never happened.

Yu Qiang was filled with amazement, marveling at the incredible recovery ability of the human race. It was truly remarkable that they could quickly recover after suffering such severe injuries.

Moreover, despite the destruction of several mountains, this area seems to have remained completely unaffected.

Although that area lost its original facilities, it opened up a more spacious living space for humans.

Brand new houses sprang up quickly on this land, like bamboo shoots sprouting overnight.

The stone gate that Nuwa had previously moved has been rebuilt at the front, relying on the remaining mountain to provide natural protection for the dwellings behind it.

"You know what, these humans are really good at fighting."

"If someone else had encountered such a disaster, let alone two years, it might not have been possible to recover to this state even in fifteen years."

Yu Qiang peeked out to observe his surroundings. At this moment, the human race seemed to have regained its former vitality, with busy figures coming and going.

Hou Tu was secretly pondering the promise he had made unintentionally earlier, wondering if Zhou Yi still remembered it.

Considering all that had happened during this time, she guessed that Zhou Yi might have forgotten, and felt both nervous and expectant.

If you still remember the Book of Changes, that would be the best situation; but what if you forget it?

Just as Hou Tu was about to take Yu Qiang to the food court, they discovered that Zhou Yi had already started a fire in an open space and was roasting a golden and crispy tiger, the aroma of which was mouthwatering.

Yu Qiang, drawn by the scent, rushed over, pulling Hou Tu with him. "Sister, he still remembers us! Let's go!"

When the two arrived, Zhou Yi had already noticed their arrival, but she did not look up, still focused on adjusting the heat and flipping the meat.

Zhou Yi knew in her heart that these two must have come with a purpose, but she was in no hurry to point it out. Instead, she wanted to hear what they had to say first.

"Zhou Yi, I never expected you to still remember it!" It was Yu Qiang who spoke, but this was actually the question Hou Tu wanted to ask.

As soon as Yu Qiang finished speaking, he couldn't wait to reach out and grab the tiger's leg.

"How could I forget? What should I call you, Thick Earth Demon God, Yu Qiang Demon God, or Li?" Zhou Yi said with a half-smile.

Hearing this, Yu Qiang, whose mouth was stuffed with meat, coughed in shock. "How did you know?"

Zhou Yi gave a meaningful smile but did not answer directly. In fact, she was deliberately testing them with these words, and as a result, Yu Qiang admitted his identity himself.

Hou Tu glared at Yu Qiang, then everyone sat down to eat meat together. "Sit down and eat. I really have to thank your Wu Clan for their help this time. It's just that you left too quickly, otherwise I would have treated you to a proper meal."

Zhou Yi said sincerely. She was truly grateful for the help from the Witch Clan; in this wild and desolate world, it's always good to have more friends.

Upon hearing this, Hou Tu sat down helplessly, eating meat as he said, "You've done something big this time. Nuwa may never return after leaving this time."

She sincerely admired Zhou Yi's actions in forcing Nuwa to retreat and wanted to learn more about Zhou Yi's true thoughts through conversation.

"Now she has no reason to take any further action, and the focus of the primordial world will shift to your two races."

"Even saints wouldn't easily provoke trouble, which is actually thanks to you."

Zhou Yi responded without hesitation.

In her view, there was no need to hide these things.

It's better to talk things out; everyone understands perfectly well.

Zhou Yi was well aware of the balance of power among the various forces, and that the conflict between the Wu Clan and the Yao Clan would only become more and more intense.

"So which side do you think has the better chance?"

Hou Tu raised this question seemingly casually.

But in reality, she really wanted to understand the true thoughts behind the I Ching.
