Please pray for me. If I suddenly stop talking mid-sentence, it means I’m gone. Please go to this address and save me—I’m in Edogawa Ward…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, let’s get to the point. I don’t need to tell you, but everyone should know Yamata no Orochi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamata no Orochi, as an ancient calamity deity of our country, is less a god and more a demon—one capable of fighting against the gods themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says Yamata no Orochi brought chaos to humanity, until it was slain by Susano-o, the younger brother of Amaterasu. One of our Three Sacred Treasures, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, was forged from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can imagine how powerful Yamata no Orochi was. If I say it’s stronger than Kūkai, no one would disagree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yamata no Orochi is an ancient Japanese demon, alive for at least several thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here’s what I want to say: Yamata no Orochi doesn’t seem to be native to our land at all!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you carefully examine the stories of Yamata no Orochi, you’ll find no record of its origin—only that Susano-o happened to pass through a place, learned of Yamata no Orochi’s rampage, and then slew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The records say Yamata no Orochi caused havoc across the land, and was immensely powerful. Logically, it should have devastated Japan entirely. As the deity responsible for governing Japan’s territory, Amaterasu shouldn’t have been unaware—and certainly wouldn’t have allowed it to run rampant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Amaterasu didn’t know a thing—Susano-o only found out by chance. This makes no sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just checked, and China has a similar eight-headed serpent demon that also delights in chaos and devouring humans—it’s called Xiangliu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says Xiangliu had nine heads, but one was cut off, leaving eight. But that’s not the key point—the key is when Xiangliu appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangliu appears in the “Haiwai Beijing” section of the Shanhaijing, during the pre-Qin period—before 221 BCE.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamata no Orochi appears in the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki. The Nihon Shoki was compiled between 673–686 CE, and the Kojiki in 712 CE.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Xiangliu predates Yamata no Orochi by centuries. Both have eight heads. Both devour humans and cause chaos. They’re too similar. I suspect they’re the same creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says Xiangliu unleashed floods in China, and was ultimately slain by the Emperor Yu, who used the Xuanyuan Sword to sever one of its heads and banish it from the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pay attention to that last sentence! Emperor Yu banished Xiangliu!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our country is very close to China. If Xiangliu was banished, it’s entirely possible it came to the nearest nation—our own land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know someone might say: “Xiangliu appeared in 221 BCE, Yamata no Orochi in 712 CE—that’s nearly a five-hundred-year gap. So you’re saying Yamata no Orochi lived in Japan for five hundred years? That doesn’t make sense. After all, I already said Amaterasu didn’t know about Yamata no Orochi’s rampage, so maybe it only arrived then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me explain this point now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cambodia, another neighboring country of China, has a similar myth of a nine-headed serpent called Naga. Greece has the Hydra. Africa has water serpents too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked their origins—their timelines come after China’s. Could it be that they’re all Xiangliu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being banished by Emperor Yu, Xiangliu first went to Cambodia, closer to China than we are. Then it went to Greece, then Africa. Finally, after five hundred years, it circled the entire globe and returned near China—our land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not the most chilling part. The most terrifying thing is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamata no Orochi, a calamity deity in Japan capable of fighting Susano-o, is completely insignificant in China!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked the Shanhaijing. In China, there are demons stronger than Xiangliu—enough to line up from one end of Japan to the other. Seriously, I’m stunned. To us, Yamata no Orochi is a great demon. To them, it’s a minor one. What would their great demons be like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s not all. Just now, out of curiosity, I looked up whether any other Japanese demons had ties to China. Guess what I found? I discovered that one of our Three Great Demons—Yasakani no Magatama, comparable to the Lord of Chi-Mei-Wang-Liang, Shuten-dōji—also originated in China!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked: Yasakani no Magatama might be Su Daji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like with Xiangliu, Su Daji and Yasakani no Magatama are identical: both are nine-tailed foxes, both seduced emperors, both unmatched in talent. It’s like they were carved from the same mold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned from my Xiangliu research, I checked the mythologies of China’s neighboring countries—and I actually found one: India has a similar nine-tailed fox demon, also causing royal chaos, unmatched in talent, named Huayang Tian. Crucially, the timeline matches: China—India—Japan. This is too coincidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, I believe Su Daji fled from China to India, then to Japan—just like Yamata no Orochi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I imagine someone’s wondering: “Is Su Daji powerful in China?” I can tell you definitively: yes, extremely. After all, she destroyed an ancient dynasty. Just now, summoning courage, I checked again—I found that Su Daji’s chaos was ordered by Nüwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nüwa—she’s one of humanity’s primordial ancestors in China, immensely powerful. To be assigned by her to bring ruin to an ancient dynasty, Su Daji must be no ordinary demon. China’s Fengshen Yanyi claims the final villain was Su Daji—further proof of her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what I want to say is: Su Daji is powerful, yes—but not the most powerful. Yet in our country, she’s one of the greatest demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utter awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, netizens were speechless. Then they began trembling—from shock into terror. Some smoked furiously. Others shook so badly their legs trembled, nearly wetting themselves. Every spine grew cold, as if an invisible pair of eyes watched them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they finally understood how terrifying China was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One netizen, eyes filled with regret, typed: “Is it still possible to recognize a new father now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“America’s only 200 years old—has zero mythology, just one pathetic religion. Fuck, we actually treated them as our father? We’re the lowest of the low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! America’s just a little brother—China is the father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a netizen trembled as he typed: “I now deeply respect our country—for daring to… during WWII…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, many netizens stiffened, eyes wide with terror, frantically typing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! I’m terrified. What if China’s transcendent beings one day get pissed and decide to investigate this? We’re dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! You didn’t say anything, and I was fine. Now you mention it, the more I think, the more terrified I get—we built that damn Yasukuni Shrine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we still form a group to burn down Yasukuni Shrine? I’ll lead the charge for our new father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-20T17:56:08.120Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c47cdf9d720f66803d16b8467204bfb9e30a8790b8b32d0f9036c0970c9ce0d2","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-95","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-93",477,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-cover.jpg"]
