Over the next five years, Lin Xiao devoted himself to refining the remains of the All-encompassing Progenitor.
As a Progenitor who still retained a trace of will and the Ancestor's Mark and had not yet completely perished, the energy contained within his remains was far stronger than that of others, presenting a higher difficulty in absorption. However, the benefits upon successful absorption were also greater. In the depths of the remains, he even discovered some of the Progenitor's flesh that had not entirely dissipated.
Before the Progenitor had completely died, no one could assimilate their flesh without being overpowered by the Progenitor's will.
This was the instinct of a Progenitor, unchangeable by any will other than its own.
Only when the Progenitor had utterly fallen and the will within the flesh had vanished could one assimilate the Progenitor's flesh.
