Confidence

What Ryu was talking about doing was ridiculous, even by his standards.

Using a proxy to refine a world was like creating something that could mimic the complexity of his mind and automate it. It was practically like creating an artificial intelligence through the use of formations.

Not only had Ryu never seen an example of such a thing before, this was the first time he had ever considered doing such a thing…

Or was it?

Technically speaking, his Internal Matrix was a high-level application of this same exact concept. It off-loaded much of the thoughts and processes his mind had to go through to figure things out, even to the point that it helped his Dao display strength far beyond itself.
