Ryu walked through the forest. By this point, he realized that Rinushka was already gone, but he didn't mind it. If she stayed, she would probably die of anger.
Walking through nature like this, Ryu felt at peace. He began to look through life with the lens of his other souls as the main focus, and he slowly began to see how different these souls of his were.
When his Dao Heart took over, he could sense that it was impatient. It didn't want to just calmly walk like this; it wanted to speed ahead with its greatest possible speed, hurrying past anything that he could do on his own regardless of what it did to his foundation.
In its opinion, his foundation didn't matter. It even saw it as a cowardly act to try and take things so slowly.
Ryu could understand where his Dao Heart was coming from. It believed that one way or another, the destination was the same: the peak. If it gave up some foundation now, it could just make it up by walking further later.
