After agreeing to become the Guardian of the Elven Kingdom, Shen Mu was not in a hurry to return to Asgard!
He continued to enjoy the fine wine and delicious food in the Elven Kingdom for a few more days.
He also discovered that the Elven Kingdom seemed even more suitable for him, who wanted to develop.
Due to its special location, the Elven Kingdom receives more than 18 hours of Sun exposure every day.
So, Shen Mu directly brought out the sun disc.
"Shen, what is this thing?"
"I feel a mysterious power from it; it seems to be gathering the Sun's power."
At this moment, Sylphania walked over barefoot with light steps and asked.
This was the Elder's real name.
In the past few days, Shen Mu had been dragged around the Elven Kingdom by this Elder, who had confined herself for several hundred years.
The sky was clear, and the breeze was gentle and pleasant, which would have been rare good weather in his former World!
However, in this Elven Kingdom, it was the norm.
This place basically did not experience weather like strong winds and heavy rain; most of the time, it was a bright scene of eternal spring.
Initially, Shen Mu was a little reluctant because it greatly interfered with his peaceful Sunbathing!
However, he eventually couldn't resist the pleas of a nine-thousand-year-old Elven 'old lady' and a group of Little Elves bustling around him.
Therefore, these past few days were the most comfortable and carefree days Shen Mu had experienced since his rebirth.
Every day, no matter where he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by a sea of flowers.
And because these little fellows had become more familiar with Shen Mu, many of them simply lay on his body to sleep.
During this period, Shen Mu also learned the Elder's real name, which was Sylphania.
However, according to her, it had been countless years since anyone had called her by that name!
Even she herself had almost forgotten that she had a name.
"This is the sun disc, a powerful magic altar that can condense crystals containing Sun God Power."
Shen Mu did not hide anything and directly revealed the secret of the sun disc!
"What? Sun God Power?"
"Incredible! In the Nine Realms, over tens of thousands of years, no deity has truly mastered the Sun's divine power."
"More often, they possess partial authority over the Sun; the God of Fire and the God of Light are both part of the Sun's authority."
Sylphania was also full of surprise.
The Sun is sacred in the myths of any race; although there may be Sun Gods in other myths, most are merely titular, completely lacking the ability to wield Sun God Power.
And now, such a magic altar could actually condense crystals of Sun God Power; how could this not shock her?
Around the sun disc, the temperature had noticeably risen significantly.
However, the surrounding plants did not feel uncomfortable due to this sudden rise in temperature.
Instead, they burst forth with a new, stronger vitality.
The surrounding Little Elves also looked completely enraptured.
This was perfect; since everyone loved the Sun, then lying together and Sunbathing was the most wonderful thing.
Time slowly passed for half a month, but the sun disc had not yet officially condensed a sun god crystal.
This made Shen Mu lament how inefficient this thing was!
However, the sun disc was indeed a genuine cultivation accelerator.
Staying by its side, Shen Mu felt that his speed of absorbing Sun radiation had increased significantly.
Of course, Shen Mu had thought about figuring out the operating principle of the sun disc and then replicating it.
Even the idea of using his body as a medium for carving runes, directly transforming himself into an alternative, mobile sun disc, had been simulated in Shen Mu's mind.
However, this idea would be almost impossible to achieve without a certain in-depth study of Rune Magic.
And the runes on the sun disc belonged to a completely different system from those in the Marvel Universe.
Shen Mu had no mages from Runeterra to teach him, so he could only draw inferences by understanding the Rune Magic of Marvel.
Rune Magic was almost exclusive to Asgard, so Shen Mu felt that he must study it thoroughly after returning to Asgard.
Of course, during this time, Shen Mu also consulted Sylphania about some of the Elven race's magic.
Like Asgard, the Elven race's magic originated from the World Tree, but they did not use magic to pursue powerful destructive capabilities.
They mostly utilized the magic energy bestowed by the World Tree for healing, Guardian, and other aspects.
However, this knowledge seemed to be of little help to Shen Mu in comprehending magic energy; it merely enriched his theoretical knowledge.
Perhaps this body truly had no magical aptitude!
"Shen, what do you think of the Elven Kingdom now?"
One day, Sylphania leaned against Shen Mu's wing and suddenly asked him.
"Beautiful as a fairyland."
Shen Mu thought seriously for a moment and expressed his most genuine feelings.
"Then, would you be willing to stay here forever?"
Hearing this question, Shen Mu also fell into a slight contemplation, then sighed and said:
"If there is nothing in this Universe that can threaten me, I would actually be very willing to stay here and enjoy such a peaceful and leisurely life."
"However, as you also said, the fate of this Universe will change because of me."
"I don't think I am strong enough yet; if I can't even control my own destiny, then how can I talk about influencing the destiny of this Universe! So, this place is not suitable for me for now."
"However, perhaps one day, when I can truly disregard all threats, I will choose to move here to live!"
Upon hearing this, Sylphania also fell silent!
"Actually, I am also selfish; I cannot protect the Elven Kingdom myself, yet I have to pass the pressure on to you."
"You didn't have to do that."
After a moment of mutual tranquility, Sylphania spoke again, with a hint of apology in her tone.
"No, it's not just because of that."
Shen Mu knew very well that his pursuit of power was not just due to the pressure from the Elves.
Strictly speaking, protecting the Elven Kingdom was merely a side benefit.
What Shen Mu truly desired was to possess power that was not controlled by others in this perilous Universe, and even more so, to explore the Worlds beyond this Universe.
After all, judging from the system's treasure chest rewards, there must be more fascinating Worlds beyond the Marvel Universe.
After their last conversation, another half a month passed, and the sun disc finally produced its first sun god crystal.
"System, how should I use this thing? Should I just eat it directly?"
Shen Mu asked the system.
