Enlighten, teach, and guide out of the cycle those that can be.
Less clear was the path. Murkier still was the distinction between those that could be guided out of the cycle, and those that cannot be.
The god of decay, falsehoods, and symbiosis was open to his message. So too was the god of the concept of stabbing. Simplistic and facetious, yet both showed an eagerness he would not have ascribed to their ilk.
Heliodos the sedantry, Zaraave the brutish, both accepted his gift. The cunning mongrel did not.
The willingness to learn was unrelated to the capability to learn. Does that exclude those incapable from his destiny?
Nay.
So he would set a path to enlighten those formerly incapable of enlightenment. Grant them the chance to become more, greater, better than they ever could have been elsewise.
The pill condensation and extraction process had been perfected, or so one would have thought. But perfection was an impossible goal, an ideal to chase, and never reach, not within the cycle.
If vital Yin could be extracted, refined, purified, why could it not be empowered, and returned? Why must the harvest be a zero sum game, of winner and loser, rather than winners both?
So it is that the meditation of two epochs caused a breakthrough in understanding and comprehension, of universal laws made to be broken, and ones yet to be made still.
The vital Yin extraction would hold within it a spark, much like a divine's, of essence rather than echo, equal to strength of the being it was extracted from.
The vital Yin extraction could be cycled into a refinement, and as a god would be empowered in minor ways, a primal would be empowered in awe-inspiring ways.
The vital Yin extraction would shave off, purify a core weakness of a primal, for form leads function, and form need not be hideous when it could be pleasant to eye and soul.
So it shall be.
