"The Creator's Gambit?" Yun Lintian was curious.
Ping Heng's fingers hovered over the jade token, his expression unreadable. The air in the pavilion grew heavy, as if the realm itself held its breath.
"The Creator's Gambit," Ping Heng repeated, his voice low. "A forbidden technique left behind by the Creator before his disappearance. It is the only known method to forcibly balance opposing Primordial powers."
Yun Lintian's eyes sharpened. "Forcibly balance?"
Ping Heng nodded. "Under normal circumstances, absorbing multiple Primordial powers would tear a being apart. Even you—with your unique constitution—have only managed to contain them through sheer will and external aids like the Divine Beast bloodlines."
He tapped the jade token. "This technique allows you to impose balance, even upon powers that should naturally oppose one another. Light and darkness, life and death, order and chaos—none can resist its effect once activated."
