The phrase “you’ve come” was not spoken to him—it was spoken to his former self, to Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the world, only three beings knew His identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deceased, the First Sacred Spirit, and the other player of the game—the terrifying entity’s identity was now clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangchuan Zun: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not answer. In this situation, facing the greatest mastermind in the world, it was better to remain silent than to respond—after all, he did not need to reply, and the entity seemed to have more to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a pity you are no longer you, but it does not matter—you are you. Even if you have become another you, you are still you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying entity’s words were cold, convoluted, yet their meaning was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after uttering another phrase:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you return, the game begins anew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more words came. Shangchuan Zun felt the terrifying entity was gone—but it still stood before him, its gaze withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangchuan Zun vaguely understood: the terrifying entity had left. What stood before him now was merely a memory-shadow of Him—not the original terrifying entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangchuan Zun saw the terrifying entity arrive, its empty, thoughtless eyes fixed upon the stream of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked as if a person had encountered something novel—pausing curiously, staring, wondering what it was, what purpose it served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pause lasted an eon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stream of time evolved: from stream to river. The primordial era passed through one long age after another, witnessing countless great events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial spirits vied for dominance, contending for the heavens and earth, fighting for primordial supremacy. Sui Ren passed on the sacred flame, protecting humanity—thus began humanity’s golden age. From being merely noticed by primordial spirits, to being taken seriously by them, to finally being feared by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the primordial spirits withdrew from this stage—their casualties had been too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the sacrifices of Sui Ren and one human sage after another, humanity secured its place in the primordial era, becoming one of its primordial overlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How heartbreaking. How arduous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it had all been worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, humanity produced many powerful beings, attaining realms even primordial spirits envied. Among them, one shone brightest: Sui Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became humanity’s first Supreme Being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transcended time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, for the first time, Sui Ren stepped out of the stream of time and entered nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, standing before Shangchuan Zun, besides the terrifying entity, was Sui Ren—the two stood extremely close, nearly shoulder to shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, Sui Ren seemed unable to see the terrifying entity—or as if the terrifying entity did not exist at all, transparent, unnoticed by Sui Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was astonishing, leaving Shangchuan Zun stunned and grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, the terrifying entity’s power surpassed Sui Ren’s by far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the terrifying entity made no further move, did not strike at Sui Ren—he merely watched, like a moviegoer or bystander, observing the world’s transformations without interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangchuan Zun judged: perhaps the terrifying entity was still curious about this novel thing—the stream of time—and simply continued watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember: this was the terrifying entity in nothingness, where no concept of time existed. For such an immortal, unkillable being, observing the world’s long evolution likely meant no passage of time at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had all the time in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stream of time continued to change, and the eras changed with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Shangchuan Zun wondered: did the stream of time lengthen and become a river, thereby extending time from past to future—or did time’s progression from past to future cause the stream of time to become a river of time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not discern their relationship, so he stopped thinking about it—it was not his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered now was: what did the terrifying entity intend to do? And could the evolution of time in this world reveal some clues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this passage of time, the primordial era ended. Shangchuan Zun witnessed the birth of the First Sacred Spirit, saw the First Sacred Spirit destroy the Primordial Realm due to his obsession with cleanliness, and witnessed the Primordial Realm’s annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also witnessed the birth of the myriad heavens and worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-20T17:56:09.718Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8962781cb33c4508680664d30f566d0b2ea16855b6c07107fc4627ef2f6880c7","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-473","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-471",477,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-cover.jpg"]
