However, Clark quickly calmed down and regained his composure.
Based on his consistent experience, the boundary between life and death couldn't be easily broken.
What that wishing crystal was exactly, Clark didn't know at the moment, but it wasn't necessarily a "legitimate" thing.
It was possible that it contained some evil power.
This wasn't Clark's wild thoughts, his mind wandering aimlessly, but rather Clark's personal experience.
Often, things that are extremely tempting have a huge pitfall behind them.
So he had to maintain his restraint.
Of course.
If it's just him overthinking things, the Wishing Crystal really has no flaws.
Like the diary mentioned, it can grant any wish and resurrect the dead.
Clark felt that discussing it with Martha wouldn't be a bad idea.
Clark would then have a clear idea about how to approach this Wishing Crystal.
Steve.
And then, this name entered Clark's sight.
Although the diary didn't mention any information about this name.
It's undeniable that this person must be extremely important to Diana.
And clearly, Steve is dead!
The question is, does Steve's death have anything to do with Diana abandoning humanity?
Could he be the "lover" mentioned in the diary, the one she "lost"?
Clark guessed it was quite possible, but he couldn't be sure.
Then there's the Flash.
Judging from the diary, he also lost someone very important to him.
This was obvious, nothing to dwell on.
[If the Flash obtains the Wishing Crystal, couldn't he revive his mother directly?]
"There's no need to travel through time for this, potentially resetting the entire universe."
"That was quite a mess, wasn't it?"
"Superman doesn't even exist in that world!"
"Although there's Supergirl, Kara, she ultimately met a cruel end at the hands of General Zod."
"Even Batman perished."
"No matter how many times Flash went back in time, he couldn't change the outcome."
"It's truly sad that another version of himself became a Time Demon."
Clark understood.
So, the Flash wanted to revive his own mother?
For Clark, who had lost his own father, he understood the Flash's feelings very well.
But Clark never expected the Flash could travel through time!
Time travel! That's just too overpowered! So, the Flash's ability was obvious here.
He shouldn't be a superpowered individual who generates lightning, but rather someone with lightning-fast speed.
Of course, Clark, without a God's-eye view, naturally couldn't imagine that the Flash was actually a combination of both.
He was not only fast, but could also generate lightning.
"So, being fast enough can let you travel through time, is that true?"
Clark couldn't help but exclaim.
This is also a relatively well-known scientific hypothesis, even appearing in several novels and movies with similar settings.
But Clark had never taken it seriously.
After all, this concept had never been proven, only existing in theory.
After all, there wasn't anything in the world that could move at that kind of speed, right?
However, now Clark knew that it was actually true!
Speed pushed to the extreme could indeed traverse time!
However, time travel was truly a dangerous thing.
Like in countless movies, making a mess of things and creating a huge pile of problems was just child's play.
The Flash had actually restarted the entire universe!
Clark didn't even know what to say.
It was just saving his own mother, so why did it end up rebooting the entire universe?
What exactly did Flash do to save his mother? It had such a huge impact that it encompassed the entire universe? Was Flash too reckless, or was the butterfly effect always this terrifying? No matter the reason, Clark couldn't figure it out. How did Superman get mixed up with Flash's mother? Why would Flash saving his mother lead to Superman not existing?
In other words, leading to him, Clark Kent, not existing?
Instead, Supergirl Kara arrived on Earth ahead of schedule?
The diary was right; this was a complete mess, utterly chaotic.
Supergirl Kara was killed, and Batman was also killed. How incredibly messed up! Even Flash traveling back in time countless times couldn't change it. It was suffocating to think about.
As for the other Flash becoming a Time Demon, although Clark didn't quite understand what that meant.
But since it's a "Demon," can anything good come of it?
Judging by the outcome, Flash's actions to save his mother were absolutely disastrous.
They even came at a heavy price for the entire universe.
Yet, considering everything Flash did, his motivation was incredibly simple: to save his mother.
Clark truly didn't know what to say.
He could only hope there was a better way.
Clark couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After putting his thoughts aside, Clark turned his attention back to the diary.
He wondered if the diary would update with anything else.
However, after waiting for several minutes, there was no further activity from the diary.
The diary's owner had abruptly stopped updating.
Clark casually closed the magical diary.
Leaning back in a relaxed posture, Clark sorted through the thoughts in his mind.
He became even more certain of his decision.
After finding some free time in the next few days, he would personally go to the Arctic!
He wanted to see if he could find that so-called Scout Ship.
This was very, very important, as it concerned the truth of the information in the diary.
Zhou Cheng naturally didn't know what Clark was thinking.
However, at this moment, he had already withdrawn his attention from the diary.
He began to focus on this brand new dimension.
Although, from an objective point of view, this world was no different from the Marvel world.
But how to put it… this was interdimensional travel.
Across universes!
Zhou Cheng was still highly enthusiastic.
This was much more interesting than any other form of tourism.
Moreover.
This world and the Marvel world actually have some differences.
For example, Gotham, Metropolis, Central City, and Star City.
Aren't these cities absent in the Marvel world?
Zhou Cheng still planned to visit these "internet-famous cities" to check them out and experience them carefully.
So, which of these famous cities should he go to first?
Zhou Cheng fell into deep thought and quickly made a logical decision.
Since Superman hasn't been born, there's no point in going to Metropolis. He might as well go to Gotham.
Zhou Cheng happily made this decision.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Cheng didn't dawdle.
He walked to a secluded, deserted corner and took out the Captain Jack's Compass he carried with him.
He determined the direction of Gotham.
And then.
Whoosh! The wings on his back spread, and he shot into the sky, disappearing from sight.
He was that uninhibited.
After all, DC didn't have S.H.I.E.L.D.
Whoosh!
After about twenty minutes, Zhou Cheng landed in an abandoned corner of Gotham.
He turned his head and sized up the city, which was dirty, messy, and gave off a strong Hell's Kitchen vibe, yet he remained full of interest.
So this was the infamous Gotham.
Zhou Cheng began to stroll around Gotham, a city both familiar and unfamiliar to him, with a serious air.
"Hey, kid, stop right there!"
"Hand over all your money!"
It could only be said that Gotham lived up to its reputation; it truly deserved the title of Sin City.
Zhou Cheng had only just arrived when he was surrounded by four or five menacing thugs.
Each of them was holding a gleaming handgun.
The gazes directed at Zhou Cheng were positively sparkling.
This guy was decked out in designer labels from head to toe, and his aura screamed "super-rich."
They were going to hit the jackpot!
However, Zhou Cheng seemed to have completely ignored these guys, his pace never faltering for a moment.
He didn't even bother to give them a second glance.
He just casually waved his hand, and that was it.
A chorus of muffled groans immediately erupted.
All the thugs didn't even understand what had happened before they were all sent flying.
They were lying on the ground, unmoving.
If anyone had appeared at the scene, they would have found that the chests of these people had caved in, their internal organs completely shattered.
They were as dead as could be.
"This is truly Gotham-style, alright."
Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Clark didn't pay any mind to those thugs, continuing on as if nothing had happened.
He was really treating this like a vacation.
Like any other city, the feeling was obviously different when he arrived in the wealthy district.
It was as if he had arrived in two different worlds.
Of course, it's hard to say how much the public order had improved.
Guys like Zhou Cheng, slick and well-dressed, were everywhere, making Zhou Cheng utterly unremarkable.
This was exactly what Zhou Cheng wanted.
"Wayne Enterprises is really something else!"
After spending an afternoon in the rich district, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.
In many movies and TV dramas, villains often claim, "XX is my city," and so on.
But that was just posturing.
In the case of Wayne Enterprises, however, it was a fact! More than half of Gotham's industries belonged to Wayne Enterprises.
This city truly deserved to be called the city of Wayne Enterprises.
Compared to it, Tony's Stark Industries was truly inferior.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Cheng waved his hand and booked a luxurious private room in a high-end hotel under Wayne Enterprises.
He spent his first day in Gotham.
Over the next three days, Zhou Cheng basically stayed in Gotham.
During this time, he also met Gotham's famous playboy, Bruce Wayne.
But that was all he did, just meet him.
Zhou Cheng didn't do anything extra, and he didn't try to greet or do anything with Bruce Wayne.
With Zhou Cheng's current level, Batman was really nothing special in front of him.
"Almost done."
"I'll play for one more day and then go back!"
By the fourth day, Zhou Cheng's enthusiasm had almost worn off.
He didn't plan to continue going to other "internet-famous cities" to check in. After all, his trip to the DC Universe had been a bit rushed.
It was originally just a whim to come and take a look, not a formal cross-universe trip.
He could go to those other internet-famous cities next time.
So Zhou Cheng happily made this decision.
After getting out of bed and quickly washing up, Zhou Cheng went to the hotel for breakfast.
Then he started his new day, which was also the last day of his trip to Gotham.
"Go ahead, Thompson, I'll have George cover for you first."
"Thank you, boss!"
While Zhou Cheng was enjoying breakfast at the high-end hotel, Clark had asked the bar owner for a leave of absence.
He began his journey to the Arctic.
Like Zhou Cheng, when he arrived at a desolate and uninhabited place, Clark also began to use his "superpowers."
Boom!
With a sonic boom, Clark vanished in an instant.
Boom!
Not long after, the same sound echoed in the Arctic, a place far from anyone, completely deserted.
Clark began to utilize his super speed, running back and forth across the Arctic.
Furthermore.
During this process, he also employed his super vision along with his x-ray vision.
He conducted a thorough search of the Arctic.
Given Clark's incredible abilities, what would be a massive undertaking for any nation was nothing to him.
BOOM!
Only a dozen minutes had passed.
Clark's body, moving at super speed, stopped like a javelin.
His eyes looked towards a certain direction in front of him, and his face couldn't help but reveal surprise and joy.
He saw a small hill covered in thick snow not far in front of him.
On the surface, the small hill didn't seem to have anything special about it.
But Clark, who had already activated his X-ray vision, could see clearly.
Within that small hill, there was indeed a giant object hidden.
And according to Clark's observation, that giant object did indeed look like an alien spaceship.
"Could it be... this really is that Scout Ship?"
"Could it be that what the diary said is all true?"
Clark couldn't stay calm.
He took a deep breath, stopped talking nonsense, and leaped lightly.
Whoosh! He shot out several hundred meters in an instant.
Then he stretched out his hands and reached forward, like two drills, and drilled a hole through the ice.
He clung to the cliff face like that.
Sizzle! And then, two intense heat rays suddenly shot out from Clark's eyes.
A gentle twist.
With ease, a long passage was cut open.
