"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.
He thought for a moment, flipped his wrist, and five primogenitor Seeds of Ouroboros cocoons appeared in his hand.
"Chi, chi chi..."
The five cocoons appeared in his palm and began to wriggle. They quickly condensed together at the center of his hand into a single fused cocoon.
Fang Heng stared at the cocoon in its fusion state.
He could faintly sense that the power radiating from the fused cocoon was of the same source as the Seed of Ouroboros power within him.
"Ka!..."
A crack appeared in his right palm as he slowly swallowed the cocoon into his body.
This was different from devouring Seeds of Ouroboros cocoons before.
Previously, devouring meant complete absorption.
But this time, the primogenitor cocoon swallowed into his body remained intact inside.
Fang Heng frowned subtly.
He could feel some changes in his body, though he could not determine exactly what had changed.
Unfortunately, being in the real world, unreachable through the Black Fog, he could not see any game hints and could not obtain more information.
Right!
Fang Heng suddenly remembered something and immediately opened his personal interface to exchange for two Pillars of the Black Fog game.
Pillars of the Black Fog!
Summon!
"Ka, ka ka ka..."
Two game pillars rose slowly from the magic array on the ground, spreading an aura of Black Fog outward.
Only then did Zane arrive with several Mycoid Clan patriarchs.
Zane had overheard Fang Heng’s conversation with the insect attendants and was secretly shocked.
It was only now that he realized: the one who had possessed the remnants earlier was none other than the Beetle King, Tantalus.
Zane was also troubled.
It was only after returning to the Endless Domain that he learned some of what had happened during the period he had been sealed.
The Beetle King Tantalus!
A terrifying force in the galaxy, occupying vast space, whose reputation even reached the Endless Domain.
Camu and Cullen watched Fang Heng produce five primogenitor cocoons and immediately realized their earlier speculation was likely correct: the Beetle King Tantalus had died at Fang Heng’s hands.
But what was Fang Heng doing now?
As the Black Fog gradually condensed, game hints appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: You have obtained information regarding the advancement of the Seed of Ouroboros Beetle King.]
[Hint: You have fused the condensed primogenitor Seeds of Ouroboros cocoons (dropped automatically upon death).]
Item: Primogenitor Seed of Ouroboros cocoon (5/16).
Description: Can only be used by a fused Seed of Ouroboros or by one possessing Seed of Ouroboros-related skills. After fusion, the effectiveness of Seed of Ouroboros skills is increased by 50%, transformation costs are reduced by 30%, and fusion ability is increased by 50%.
Seed of Ouroboros’ ability effect?
Seeing this description, Fang Heng’s pupils contracted suddenly. He quickly checked his personal skill information.
Most directly, it should reflect in the Undead and Everlasting Moon skills!
Both skill effects were increased by 50%!
The Undead skill effect increased from restoring 12% of maximum HP per second to 18%, so health would no longer drop below 12% instead of 8%.
The Everlasting Moon effect had no clear description, but both skills had been inherited from Hila, belonged to the Seed of Ouroboros lineage, and their actual duration and effect had been strengthened.
Hmm?
Fang Heng suddenly noticed the cooldown for Everlasting Moon had shortened—from seven days to 5.5 days.
This confirmed it! The primogenitor cocoons could affect Everlasting Moon!
Fang Heng was elated.
And it did not stop there!
If he could obtain more primogenitor Seeds of Ouroboros cocoons, the effects could be further strengthened. At full potential, the cooldown of Everlasting Moon could be halved.
Everlasting Moon was his strongest current ability; shortening its cooldown greatly increased his tolerance for error.
Fang Heng was quietly excited as another game hint appeared.
[Hint: The player has triggered Tier 1 mission-Fusion of Primogenitor Cocoons.]
Mission name: Fusion of Primogenitor Cocoons.
Mission description: You have proven your strength, killing all potential threats among the Seeds of Ouroboros. You have learned about the scattered primogenitor cocoons from insect attendants. To become the new Beetle King, you must first condense the primogenitor cocoons.
Mission requirements: Obtain primogenitor cocoons (5/16) and fuse them.
Mission reward: 5 million King of Gods’ points, dimensional cores (ultimate)*2.
The mission had arrived.
Fang Heng quickly scanned it. Compared to the primogenitor cocoons, the mission reward was ordinary.
Free gains.
Might as well do it.
Fang Heng then turned his attention to Camu and Cullen, asking, "How many primogenitor cocoons have you found so far?"
Cullen thought for a moment and said, "Not sure. Reinforcement insect attendants arriving to support the Beetle King formed small teams. As far as we know, Kalu’s team has found at least five primogenitor cocoons, but there could be others found by different insect attendants who kept them hidden."
"I see..." Fang Heng’s eyes revealed a hint of killing intent. "Do you know where Kalu is now?"
Camu and Cullen suddenly felt a chill run down their necks.
D*mn!
It seemed Fang Heng had set his sights on Kalu.
"Not sure, we..."
Cullen continued, "We usually gather around planet VI-182 and exchange intelligence there. You can find their exact location there."
"Good. Prepare to lead the way."
Fang Heng said calmly, then turned to Zane and the Mycoid group, asking, "Someone will come to receive the God Clan remnants. Zane, have you returned?"
"Fang, I’m not interested in your Seeds of Ouroboros, but I am interested in the spawns. I can stay a bit longer and see, or run along with you again."
Zane had just asked his subordinate, Evil God followers of the Mycoid Clan, and learned that previous sacrifices had been provided by the spawns.
Perhaps the spawns still held many sacrifices.
If he could obtain them all, his strength would increase greatly.
Moreover, the Mycoid Clan was among the few remaining followers he had in the world. He did not want them wiped out by the spawns for failing to protect the remnants.
"Good."
