Before awakening his divine power, Shen Mu didn't have any particular feelings about the land of Asgard.
It was just that, from a scenic perspective, it looked grander and more magnificent than all the buildings he had ever seen.
However, ever since awakening his divine power, Shen Mu noticed something peculiar when he looked at this land again.
Shen Mu could feel a power from this land wanting to merge with his body.
However, it seemed his body was not the vessel they desired.
So, that power quickly dissipated from his body!
Shen Mu guessed that perhaps only Odin and his family could truly harness this power for themselves!
This was also the reason they were able to be more powerful than ordinary Asgardian.
"Shen Mu, you're finally back. The Elven Kingdom is very beautiful, isn't it!"
At this moment, Frigga was tending to the exotic flowers and plants she had cultivated in the garden. Seeing Shen Mu approach, she asked with a smile.
"Yes! It's very beautiful, I almost wanted to live there permanently."
Shen Mu responded, following her words.
"It seems you've gained a lot during your two-plus months in the Elven Kingdom."
"Shen Mu! Odin and I might have been wrong!"
"You are not a being born in Vanaheim, but a God born from the will of the Sun."
Frigga uttered these words the moment she saw Shen Mu.
She couldn't imagine any other adjective to describe Shen Mu besides God.
After just over two months apart, she could feel that Shen Mu's entire being had undergone a tremendous transformation.
She wondered what kind of serendipitous encounter could have led to such a leap in his growth.
In comparison, among all known Universe races, no other species could possess such a growth rate, except for the Gods who are born divine.
"Your Highness Frigga, I have come to seek your guidance on Rune Magic."
Shen Mu did not directly answer Frigga's words, because he knew in his heart that he was not a God at all, but merely an ordinary system owner and a reborn person.
So, he directly stated his purpose, not wanting to discuss the matter further.
"Being eager to learn, that is an excellent quality."
"Since you want to learn Rune Magic, you must first understand its origin."
"Rune Magic, this is a special magic originating from the World Tree. Initially, there were 24 physical Runes, which appeared due to Odin's self-sacrifice."
"However, the original 24 physical Runes are now integrated with Odin. The current Rune Magic was created by Odin based on these."
"Each Rune possesses a different power, and stronger magic can be born by combining different Runes."
"Rune Magic is the art of combining and utilizing each Rune."
...
Frigga began to explain the history of Rune Magic to Shen Mu.
Shen Mu listened attentively and then realized that Asgard's Rune Magic seemed to have similarities with the magic of Runeterra that he had once understood.
After all, as the World background for the game League of Legends, its creators must have drawn from the excellent historical and cultural essences of various nations.
Therefore, this further strengthened Shen Mu's determination to learn.
"To learn Rune Magic, one must first master the Rune Letters."
"After mastering the Runes, one needs to communicate with the power contained within each Rune Letter; otherwise, they are merely ordinary characters!"
Frigga waved her hand in front of Shen Mu, and strange-looking Runes began to appear out of thin air.
Shen Mu carefully observed these Runes, and his mind rapidly worked, beginning to forcibly commit them to memory.
"Your Highness Frigga, how should I comprehend the power contained within these Runes?"
After simply memorizing them, each Rune in front of him formed an independent section in Shen Mu's mind.
"Follow me! There's a place that can help you comprehend the power of these Runes."
Seeing Shen Mu ask, Frigga called to him, signaling him to follow her.
Shen Mu said nothing more and followed behind Frigga, walking into a palace.
"Your Highness, the Queen."
The palace guards all bowed slightly in respect upon seeing Frigga arrive.
"I am taking Shen Mu to the Place of Rune Creation. Open the doors for us!"
Frigga smiled as she responded to the guards, then had them open the doors.
Hearing this, the guards said nothing more and directly pushed open the palace's main entrance.
Walking inside, a huge magic Rune array was carved into the floor.
Frigga activated the magic array with her own magical energy, and instantly, a passage leading underground appeared.
Going down, Shen Mu followed Frigga to a massive underground space.
Looking around, countless Runes were visible on the stone walls, among which twenty-four independently existing Rune Letters were particularly striking—those were the most basic letters of the Rune Letters.
"Shen Mu, this is where Odin originally created Rune Magic."
"Every Rune here still contains the power Odin left behind, so these Runes are all in an activated state."
"You can try to communicate with the power within these Runes."
Frigga said to Shen Mu.
"Thank you for your generous teaching, Your Highness Frigga."
Shen Mu again expressed his gratitude to Frigga.
"I cannot help you with communicating with the Rune power; that depends on your own comprehension!"
After Frigga finished speaking, she did not linger, leaving only Shen Mu in the vast underground space.
To communicate with the power of the Runes, nothing was more direct for Shen Mu than to touch them with his own hands!
So, Shen Mu directly extended a claw and gently touched a Rune.
Instantly, the Rune emitted a red light, and Shen Mu's mind was pulled into a World filled with Fire and light.
Time passed, no one knew for how long, Shen Mu woke up.
His body still maintained the posture of touching the Rune with his claw.
In the ethereal, Shen Mu felt a sudden enlightenment. He made two strokes in the air with a claw, and instantly, a Rune emitting a faint reddish glow appeared.
"This succeeded?"
"It's much simpler than comprehending magic energy by holding that broken branch of the World Tree."
Shen Mu couldn't help but exclaim.
After his first success, Shen Mu, with renewed vigor, began to communicate with the remaining twenty-three Rune Letters one by one.
Immersed in his comprehension, Shen Mu did not feel the passage of time around him.
"Thor, how is it that Shen Mu just returned and disappeared again!"
"Didn't he say he would treat you to the fine wine brewed by the elves?"
The Warriors Three were gathered with Thor again.
And Volstagg began to question Thor, after all, no one in all of Asgard loved wine more than he did!
It had been over half a month in the blink of an eye since they heard Shen Mu had returned.
Aside from Thor seeing him once, no one else had even caught a glimpse of Shen Mu before he vanished without a trace again.
Thor went to ask his mother, and Frigga told him that Shen Mu was communicating with the power of the Rune Letters.
She even used Shen Mu as a positive example, reminding Thor to be more diligent in his studies.
Unfortunately, Thor was currently single-mindedly waiting for his father to awaken so he could ask him why he didn't tell him how to awaken his power; he didn't listen to anything else at all.
