"The primogenitor cocoon fragments could not be devoured. Only by obtaining all the primogenitor cocoons and combining them, then performing the ritual using the primogenitor cocoons, could a cocoon be fully absorbed. And the one who absorbed the cocoon would become the next Beetle King."
"Tantalus had once gathered all sixteen fragments of the Seed of Ouroboros, which is why we respectfully called him the Beetle King. But at that time, he had not completed the final step of the ritual."
Fang Heng felt puzzled and asked, "Why not?"
"Because it was said that he had not finished the final stage of fusion, and his body was still in an imperfect state. So he chose to delay the ritual, letting us spread out to search for the lost God Clan remnants across the star domains."
No wonder Tantalus had recruited so many subordinates—it was all to search for the God Clan remnants.
Fang Heng suddenly understood.
