After seeing that the pendant was absorbed into the new body, and that a pulse of 'life' seemed to emerge from the body, Lex allowed his projection to disappear. He did not bother giving Vinei any more instructions - what could one even expect from a phoenix? It would be good as long as he managed to help a little.
Lex turned his focus to his system. The warnings were abundant - don't let systems absorb Primordial energy. Bad things would happen if he did. Honestly, Lex had no idea how long his system had been absorbing Primordial energy. Maybe it had been doing so far longer than Lex was aware of.
Maybe, back when he was too weak to sense it, his system was already secretly siphoning some of the energy. Then it could have shown him a low or small percentage whereas in truth it had absorbed a whole lot more.
