First Arrival on Krypton

T/N: I know this sound absurd, but for the sake of the plot and the machine used to open the space-time portal being bigger than the original, let's imagine it somehow opened a portal to DC.

The sky was very dark, and patches of dark clouds seemed to press down. In a dense forest, a young man lay flat on the grass.

The young man's face was pale as snow, and his breath was weak. Occasionally, fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, indicating that he was still breathing, he would have looked like a dead person.

"What kind of place is this..."

Fang Ye struggled to open his eyes, and what he saw was a blood-red sun hanging high in the sky.

Originally, after Fang Ye passed through the space-time tunnel and arrived in this world, he hadn't had the chance to observe the surrounding environment when he felt his breathing become difficult, and his head began to feel dizzy and light-headed.

That feeling was as if he had been poisoned!

To be precise, it wasn't poisoning, but Fang Ye's body couldn't adapt to the air here, and his body was rejecting it.

"I hope no wild beasts come out..."

After lying on the ground for a while, Fang Ye finally adapted and struggled to get up to observe his surroundings.

This place was a dense forest, with towering trees standing upright, and countless layers of tree roots on the ground, entwined and overlapping.

The exposed tree roots alone were half a meter thick, and they were intertwined like fierce giant pythons. One can imagine the scene this presented.

"Weird... This place is very peculiar!"

The reason why Fang Ye found it strange was not just because of the enormous size of the trees, or how many years they had grown to reach such thickness.

However, according to normal biological knowledge, this was not fertile mountain soil, and there would not be enough nutrients to sustain such large trees. So, how did these large trees survive?

"This shouldn't be Earth..."

In the end, Fang Ye came to a conclusion, and the most compelling evidence was the blood-red sun in the sky. The sun on Earth was not blood-red.

Moreover, the red sun emitted a faint halo, but it did not give a warm feeling when shining on the body. Instead, it made Fang Ye feel a cold breath spreading all over his body.

As his body gradually adapted, Fang Ye regained his strength. He moved swiftly through the forest, like an ape jumping and walking on the big trees, swift as the wind.

When Fang Ye walked out of the forest, he became more certain of his thoughts. Outside the forest were strange buildings, and aircraft flew across the sky from time to time. The smell of gunpowder permeated the air, indicating that a great war was taking place on this planet, or in this region.

"General Zod has ordered, put down your weapons... General Zod has ordered, put down your weapons..."

In the sky, aircraft suddenly flew by, issuing orders one after another.

Fang Ye wasn't interested in those aircraft, but he was surprised to find that the aliens here spoke English. He had always thought English was an international language, but now he realized that it had evolved into an interstellar language...

Fang Ye cautiously retreated back into the forest. He didn't want to attract the attention of the planet's inhabitants. First, he needed to understand the situation on this planet.

However, the scene he had just witnessed seemed somewhat familiar. The name "General Zod" also sounded familiar.

"Zod, Zod... Where have I heard this name before?"

Fang Ye pondered for a moment, suddenly remembering something. Wasn't this scene the rebellion of General Zod at the beginning of "Man of Steel"?

Fang Ye couldn't help feeling a bit incredulous. Did this mean he had traveled to Krypton?

In the original work, it seemed that Krypton was about to explode in the past few days. Fang Ye suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why did he have to encounter such bad luck?

Although Fang Ye had confidence in the Green Giant's defense, he couldn't guarantee that the Green Giant would survive the explosion of Krypton.

"So, it's Krypton. That makes sense..."

Krypton was Superman's hometown, and Superman was still well-known in the real world.

When facing the destruction of Krypton, Superman's parents found the Earth in the vast universe, and sent the baby Superman away in a spacecraft when he was still a baby.

The reason why Superman had such incredible abilities was that he absorbed the radiation from the Earth's sun.

Although Krypton also had a sun, it was red, which meant that Kryptonians could not absorb radiation. However, due to the gravity of Krypton being five to six times that of Earth, Kryptonians had extremely strong physical constitutions.

Additionally, the air on Krypton was different from Earth's, which was why Fang Ye had experienced discomfort and collapsed on arrival.

If it weren't for Fang Ye's extraordinary physique and the injection of superhuman strengthening serum, an ordinary person from Earth would have died within minutes of arriving on Krypton due to their body not adapting.

In the original "Man of Steel," Superman also fainted due to not adapting to the air on Krypton, let alone other people.

"The Kryptonian Codex..."

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Ye's mouth. He suddenly thought of the Kryptonian Codex.

The Codex was the life source of Kryptonians, and by now, Krypton's scientific and technological development was extremely advanced. Based on full mastery of genetic technology, Kryptonians gave up natural childbirth and directly used genetic technology to cultivate new beings.

This method not only effectively controlled the population but also directly produced the required talents through genetic engineering – leaders, scientists, workers, farmers, soldiers, etc.

What Fang Ye thought of was that since the Kryptonian Codex could grant life and wisdom to Kryptonians, didn't that mean it contained a large amount of CPH4 substance and CNV6 substance?

CPH4 and CNV6 were both magical substances secreted during the pregnancy of a mother, with CPH4 acting on brain development, bestowing human intelligence, and CNV6 acting on fetal development, bestowing human life.

According to Fang Ye's understanding, the fusion of the two substances could be regarded as life substance.

Kryptonians were artificially created beings, and their origin came from the Codex. Regardless of the birth of any life, it could not be without CNV6, and any birth of intelligence could not be without CPH4.

"If I fuse with the Kryptonian Codex, does that mean I can perfect the Green Giant's genes? Maybe even gain the ability of Kryptonians to absorb solar radiation?"

Fang Ye suddenly thought of this possibility, and the possibility was very high.

Finally, Fang Ye had two goals in mind:

First, seize the Kryptonian Codex and perfect the Green Giant's genes.

Second, escape from Krypton, as it was going to explode in a few days.

"Oh no!"

Fang Ye suddenly thought that in the original work, Superman's father seemed to have stolen the Codex and then integrated it into Superman's body before sending him to Earth. If he arrived late, wouldn't the Codex be lost?

Because Krypton's sun was red and could eliminate the superpowers of Kryptonians, they were just ordinary people on Krypton. Therefore, Fang Ye didn't need to worry about anything here.

With the strength of the Green Giant, no one on Krypton could do anything to him!

Thinking of this, Fang Ye rushed out of the forest. However, he was unfamiliar with Krypton, so he needed to find someone to ask about the situation. Fortunately, Kryptonians spoke English; otherwise, Fang Ye would have had to figure out how to communicate with them...
