Ryu and Longs according to mythology are offsprings of divines. Since becoming actual gods in Asian Mythology requires a stupid amount of wisdom, knowledge of how the world works and to be test beyond your limits over and over again before you even have a chance to become a deity, Ryus couldn't be gods right off the bat.

But it is sure as hell far easier for them than other mortal lifeforms.

Ryus should be born with God power, as they perform supernatural feats naturally. For example flying in the sky by utterly ignoring all laws of science because it is only natural, a fact that they can fly simply by moving their tail/fins (that totally doesn't make sense) and that if any other mortal races try to copy them, they will fall down, hit their heads and die or something

Also Snake Spirits who trains are required to go through a fake dragon form before reaching Ryu stage and sometimes, Snake spirits have achieve certain low level Divinity long before they reach Ryu. Which puts Ryu form in fact, form of a God that is not low in rank
