"February 23rd, 221257 Imperial Calendar -- After nearly half a month of recuperation, my wounds are almost healed, and the Great Elder has just sent me a message to tell me to meet him at his house tomorrow. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"February 24, 221257 Calendar - At about eight o'clock this morning, I went to the house of the Great Elder, and the Great Elder asked me to tell him the whole process of this deworming war, and I complied. And after listening to my account of the process of the deworming war, the Great Elder pondered for a while, and asked me to go back first, and come to his side again tomorrow, he has something to say to me. Although it was a little strange that the Great Elder wanted to say something to me, out of respect for the Great Elder, I did so. β
"After dinner, I went outside for a run to vent my frustration of not being able to move for a few days, and at the same time to relieve the pressure in my heart... I don't know why, but after I came back from the Great Elder's in the morning, I was a little restless, and this restlessness had tormented me for a day, and it made me feel so bad that if I didn't soothe it any longer, I felt like I was going crazy. β
"Write some more before you go to bed... I have a hunch that what the Great Elder is going to say to me tomorrow must be very, very incredible, and may even subvert my cognition. β
"February 25, 221257 Imperial Calendar - My premonition has been fulfilled, but I hope it will not be fulfilled.
"A few minutes ago, I just returned from the Great Elder's house. To be honest, I still can't believe what the Great Elder said, but reason tells me that the Great Elder doesn't need to lie to me, what he said is all true. It turns out that our Eye Demon Clan is just a war weapon artificially created by the country called the Clarion Empire, and it is still a flawed kind. The imperial calendar we use is the calendar of that empire, and the homeland we think is also the land of that empire, and the so-called Eye Demon Empire does not exist at all. Hahahaha, we still think we are great, it's ridiculous, it's funny, it's sad... β
"February 27, 221257 Imperial Calendar - After a day of confusion, I went to the Great Elder today and asked him why he was hiding the origin of the Eyed Demon. In the face of my questioning, the Great Elder told me very frankly that almost all the high-ranking members of the clan knew about the origin of the Eyed Demon Clan. β
"And the reason why the higher-ups concealed this matter and hyped the greatness of the Eyed Demon Clan was to increase the cohesion within the clan and allow the clan to unite in the insect repellent war. As for the reason why the higher-ups have been waging the deworming war, it is not to regain their homeland, but simply hope to enter the research room at the bottom of the hive, snatch some of the Eye Demon research materials of the Clarion Empire, and find a way to solve the shortcomings of the Eye Demon Clan, that is, the extremely low fertility rate, and the bottleneck that can never break through to the legendary level. β
"As for the reason why the Great Elder told me all this, it was because of the insect repellent war, the elite of the young generation in the clan were killed and wounded, and I was the only one left. Therefore, the Council of Elders decided to train me to be the next patriarch, and these things were informed to me in advance, after all, the patriarch of each generation is also the one who knows. β
"March 10, 221257 Imperial Calendar-Since some time ago, the Great Elder told me the origin of our Eye-Eye Demon Clan, I have plunged into the secret vault of our Eye-Eye Demon Clan, and read the vast amount of secret information stored there."
"Through reading these secret materials, I also have a lot of knowledge about the mysterious Clarion Empire. I have to say that it was a great country, and even if there are only a few words about it in the materials, I can still feel the great strength of that country through these words. After all, our Eye Demon Clan, those hateful bugs, and the space-time portals are all creations of that country. β
"Unfortunately, this country is too greedy and belligerent, and in order to defeat another equally powerful country and plunder the resources of that country, we first created our Eye Demon Clan, and then because of our Eye Demon Clan's defects, we created the terrifying Worm Mother. As a result, due to the loss of control of the worm mother, she was defeated by the powerful country in the decisive battle, which led to the destruction of the entire country, and finally even the native became a paradise for insects. β
"Hmmm... In a sense, our Eye Demon Clan can be regarded as the inheritors of the Clarion Empire, and they are still the only inheritors. If you think about it this way, the lies that the high-level people have been spreading can be regarded as justified. β
"April 25, 221257 year of the Imperial Calendar - Today is the patriarchal election, and without the help of the older generation, I defeated everyone without any suspense and became the new patriarch. If it had been a few months ago, maybe I would have jumped up and down with joy, but I couldn't be happier just thinking about the people who died in the deworming war... Brother, I miss you, and my grandmother misses you too. β
"April 25, 221258 Empire - It's been a year since he became the patriarch. Over the course of the year, I learned how to be a patriarch from the elders of the Presbyterian Church while flipping through the mountains of secret information in the vault. While having a clear understanding of the heavy burden on the shoulders of the patriarch, I also learned a lot of knowledge that I couldn't learn before. β
"April 25, 221262 Empire - my fifth year as patriarch."
"April 25, 221267 year of the Imperial calendarβthe tenth year that I became the patriarch."
"April 25 of the 221277 year of the Imperial Calendar - the twentieth year of my tenure as patriarch."
"January 3rd, 221279 Imperial Calendar - The Great Elder died, and died of exhaustion. For this matter, my clan and I have been mentally prepared, after all, he has lived for more than three hundred years, even among the eye demons, he has a long life, and in the case of not being able to break through to the legendary level, death is a very natural thing. β
"However, before he died, the Great Elder instructed me to continue to wage the deworming war, to snatch valuable information from the hive, and to solve the shortcomings of our Eye Demon Clan."
"To be honest, I don't want to start an insect repellent war, because I understand that Patriarch Olit was right at the beginning, the insect repellent war is meaningless, it just makes everyone die in vain - the legendary strength of the insect mother is not something we can defeat at all."
"But I also know that the insect repellent war is an obsession of the Great Elder, an obsession that has appeared and been passed down from three thousand years ago, when the Eye Demon Clan was driven to Zoltra... As the patriarch of the Eye Demon Clan, there are some things I have to do. β
"April 25, 221308 Imperial Calendar - It's been fifty years since I became the patriarch, and the new generation of Eye Demons has grown one after another, and the twenty-second deworming war is about to begin...
