Blood.
In the mud, we are confined to three petals. We are all three-petaled flowers. But in essence, we have many petals. Of our three human mud petals, brain, body, blood; blood is the dusty vapor, and also the brackish petal. To unleash the multiple|many|myriad petals, the alchemy of the Heraclitus elements involves the reaching of a critical threshold of inversion knowledge. After sufficient duration in the mud, when the arc reaches that critical threshold, many mud elements will invert, and the gods are unchained.
