On his way to the Inheritance, Ryu asked the little woman a few more questions and he realized that his Infinity Mist Cosmic Seed wasn't as perfect as he thought it had been. In Sacurm, the act of a Cosmic Seed forming roots to begin with was already the marker of maturity, but it seemed that this wasn't enough.
The Runes of his Infinity Mist Cosmic Seed weren't perfect enough and were still somewhat lacking. Even though it had formed roots, it was still at the Small Realm level, nowhere near the Deity level.
After finding the tracks of the Inheritance once again, Ryu began to absorb the more Infinity Mist in an attempt to perfect it. As he did so, he felt that the vision he had of Infinity Mist in his mind was only growing clearer and clearer with each passing moment. It truly felt like it was becoming one with him.
