"No, I need to find a way." Liu Zhipeng rubbed his chin (though he no longer had an actual chin) as he thought. "What has the highest energy density? What could make [primordial quickening] grow quickly?"
The answer came to him almost instantly.

Yes, beings of the same kind as he was now.
C'tan Shards were formed when a C'tan's original body shattered, and each contained terrifying amounts of energy. If he could devour other C'tan Shards...

But Liu Zhipeng was different.
