Instantly, a mysterious power was born within him, and at the same time, an almost instinctive method of control emerged in his mind.
With a wave of his hand, a gray-white, ripple-like barrier appeared. With a gentle pull, as the barrier passed through Zod's body, his body instantly vanished. The next moment, he had already appeared on a glacier outside the spaceship.
"Can I only use basic spatial teleportation now? It seems that to travel through parallel worlds with this power, I need to develop it further."
"At the very least, I need to find certain correlated nodes between the parallel world and the world I am currently in, and then connect the nodes of the two worlds through the dimensional wall."
"Let me think, in the DC Universe, what is common among the various parallel worlds?"
Almost instantly, two words popped into Zod's mind: Superman!
According to some information he understood in his previous life, a certain naked blue quantum deity once said, after some experimentation, that Superman is the center of the universe.
If this statement is correct, then he might be able to glimpse other parallel universes through Superman as an anchor point.
"It seems that my future life will be very fulfilling!"
Although Zod was very interested in parallel worlds, his first priority at the moment was to cultivate steadily, improve his strength, and then gradually develop other abilities.
With one draw opportunity remaining, Zod did not stop. The pointer on the Myriad Worlds Disc rotated again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a tree of life seed! This item comes from the Ultraman Orb world and possesses the power to promote life evolution and bestow telepathy upon living beings. If planted, it can grow into a true tree of life."
Looking at the seed in his hand, which exuded a rich aura of life, Zod felt an urge to devour and refine it.
Because if this item were in a cultivation world, it could be classified as a heavenly material and earthly treasure.
However, Zod forcefully suppressed that urge to devour it.
Because this seed had the potential to grow into a true tree of life, and by then, he could harvest many more seeds, which would definitely be more cost-effective than direct consumption.
However, just at this moment, he felt his spirit shake, as if a special change had occurred.
Closing his eyes, he could sense the mental fluctuations of everyone inside the spaceship. If he wanted to, he could directly communicate with them telepathically.
"Is this the ability to bestow telepathy upon living beings mentioned in the description? It truly is wondrous."
"Very good. Now I possess energy crystal and this tree of life seed. In the future, after Krypton is rebuilt, its foundation will become increasingly profound!"
"It seems that after some time, once Fiora and the others' strength stabilizes further, I can have them go to the Solar System to find the most suitable planet to establish an outpost, and then gradually transform it."
Zod was very aware that in this world, Earth was the center of the universe, but it was also a place where all sorts of strange and powerful beings collectively caused trouble.
Although according to the normal timeline, it wasn't yet time for the plot to begin, as the superheroes had not yet fully grown.
But this time, because of the butterfly effect he brought, Abin Sur, the Green Lantern, came to Earth early, and he didn't know what other guys would be affected by the flapping of the butterfly's wings later on.
He might seem very strong now, but this world is never short of strong individuals.
Especially since there are no so-called world-rule suppressions in this world, some ancient existences often live for hundreds of millions of years.
Lifespan is the cheapest thing in the eyes of the strong in this world. Even the Amazons on Themyscira, under the protection of a certain stallion god-king, possess nearly immortal life.
If those Supremes from the Shrouding the Heavens world, who had attained the Dao and become Emperors, then self-severed a dao and sealed themselves in divine sources, knew this, they would surely go mad with anger.
After all, they fought through life and death to become invincible in the universe, yet their lifespan in one lifetime was at most just over ten thousand years. Here, a group of mortals can easily live longer than them. Who wouldn't be angry, one might ask?
Since there was no suitable place to plant this seed at the moment, Zod directly placed it into the bitter sea within his body, intending to first use his own vital essence to cleanse it and see if it could sprout.
Next, Zod resumed his diligent cultivation routine.
A month passed in a flash.
Now, the bitter sea within Zod's body had completely transformed into a golden sea of fire under the continuous burning of True Fire, reaching a width of nine zhang, and 108 divine patterns had condensed.
Because of the countless insights gained from cultivating the Sun True Scripture, he found it incredibly smooth to weave and temper his "Artifact" with divine patterns. Now, his "Tower" had already taken its initial form!
Moreover, cultivating this complete Sun True Scripture allowed him to avoid refining different "Artifacts" in the four realms of the Sea of Wheels; he only needed to focus on refining his "Tower"!
However, at this point, Zod felt as if he had reached a certain limit. He wanted to try to break through this limit, so he continued to accumulate.
Unfortunately, he did not seem to possess the invincible cultivation aptitude and luck of other transmigrators, and ultimately failed to cross that threshold of limitation.
At this moment, he felt frequent anomalies in his bitter sea, especially in the center, which continuously gushed out vital energy. Moreover, this vital energy no longer merely lingered above the bitter sea as it used to, but rather surged forth like towering plumes of smoke, vast and rolling.
Instantly, with a thought, he understood his current condition: "It's time to break through to the Life Spring Realm!"
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately composed himself, and concentrated on circulating his profound technique.
Just half a day later, Zod's body rumbled with continuous sounds. Round after round of dazzling great suns rose in his bitter sea, eventually forming the extraordinary sight of ten suns suspended in the sky.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and two divine lights, like lightning, shot out, completely different from his original heat vision.
Even facing the sun, those two divine lights could not hide their brilliant radiance.
"Hoo!"
Exhaling a long breath, Zod felt his strength more than double compared to before.
Thinking of the Sun True Scripture in his mind, Zod couldn't help but exclaim, "Having a cultivation method as a catalyst is indeed much stronger than simply relying on instinct!"
"If I were merely relying on sunbathing, it would probably take at least three to five years to achieve this qualitative improvement."
"Could the phenomenon that just appeared in my bitter sea be the legendary anomaly?"
With no other experience to reference, Zod couldn't be sure if what appeared in his bitter sea was indeed an anomaly, or if it was simply due to his being in another world.
"Forget it, why think so much? As long as it improves my strength, it's a good thing!"
At this moment, Zod closed his eyes and sensed his bitter sea. He saw that in the very center of the vast Solar Bitter Sea, a spring eye, connected to the Wheel of Life, was gushing out a source of divine power.
With a thought, Zod's body transformed into a golden rainbow and flew into the distance.
However, he soon stopped.
"It seems my Kryptonian bloodline has a rather high starting point. This speed of flying by relying on divine power is far inferior to my inherent flying speed. In fact, in terms of flying speed alone, even reaching the Dragon Transformation realm might still be insufficient."
"And the great cultivators of the Celestial Platform Realm, which is above Dragon Transformation, can already tear apart the void, so simply discussing speed is not very meaningful!"
However, he had now acquired the ability of the Aurora Curtain, which allowed him to experience the methods of a Celestial Platform great cultivator in advance.
Moreover, due to different world rules, space in this world is not that stable. Even using technological means can easily create space wormholes, traversing hundreds of millions of miles of star rivers in a short time.
