Another section of the book describes the origins of the demon and monster tribes. The earliest origins of the demon tribe are now difficult to verify. During the tribal era, this species had already been discovered. They could wield the forces of nature—specifically gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, and thunder. One page details the appearance of prehistoric demons, which exhibited significant variations: horns resembling those of monsters, tails somewhat dragon-like, elongated nails, sharp canine teeth, and pupils resembling cat eyes. During combat, their whites turned black, facial cracks appeared, and their hands transformed into black claws. Later, due to human evolution and lifestyle changes, some demonic traits degenerated to indistinguishable levels from ordinary humans, leaving only sharp canine teeth. Yet their combat forms persisted.
Confusingly, some individuals degenerated to retain only sharp canine teeth and monster horns, while sharp claws remained. To differentiate them, these demons were defined as the Monster Tribe. Originally, they were known as “elemental masters.” However, various disasters led superstitious people to blame them for natural calamities, stigmatizing both groups as demons and monster tribes. The monster tribe faced extreme discrimination. Though outwardly indistinguishable from humans, their prominent horns and sharp claws were deeply unsettling. Demons, appearing indistinguishable from ordinary humans, were often mistaken for them. The only telltale sign was the appearance of their pupils. Due to the passage of time, records are scarce.
Part Three addresses family mottos and controversial members. Issues with controversial members arise when they commit crimes, engage in extramarital affairs, commit domestic violence, or abuse children. Their transgressions are recorded, and after death, they are reviled by all descendants as a warning against emulating them. Currently, only a few known controversies exist—Hu Xianyong, Hu Zerong, his wife, and his second son. Wait, Hu Xianyong? He clearly committed no crimes, had no extramarital affairs, abused no children, and possessed no other negative records. Why is he always listed as a controversial member? Could it be related to that purple necklace? Who exactly are the four doppelgangers?
After finishing their reading, the four brothers felt a heavy weight in their hearts. That maxim seemed to remind them they were not alone. No matter what, they could not rely on the doppelgangers. Though they had failed to release the four restless souls this time, for safety, Qingyiao locked the purple necklace away. Now no one could touch it, He kept the key, and the necklace was to remain locked away unless an emergency arose. Binyao felt deeply unsettled by the sudden glow of the purple necklace. The four brothers knew nothing about the four restless souls, yet the family history explicitly recorded their existence. The truth had come to light; it could no longer be concealed.
