As Jor-El, who was only a segment of consciousness, he was completely powerless to do anything about what his son was experiencing.
The only consolation was that at least Clark was still willing to call him 'father,' and the body still belonged to his son; it was just that his consciousness had been tampered with!
So, when Clark was about to activate the spaceship, even with resentment in his heart, he still actively helped him control it.
Meanwhile, at the research camp outside, they had just found an injured and unconscious Lois, and were anxiously waiting for her to wake up.
"How serious are her injuries?"
Dr. Hamilton asked the accompanying Doctor nervously.
"She has a penetrating wound to her abdomen. Although the internal bleeding has stopped, to ensure no other complications arise, we still recommend moving her away from this place immediately."
The Doctor suggested this after the examination. However, at that moment, a massive tremor shook the ground.
Everyone panicked and immediately rushed out to investigate.
"What's happening? What on earth is going on?"
On the other side, the camp's Major also immediately ran out from the monitoring room and shouted his question.
When he stepped out of the tent, he saw the massive glacier in front, illuminated by a dozen searchlights, instantly disintegrate. A huge spaceship flew out of it, then vanished from sight in an instant.
"How is this possible? That spaceship has been dormant here for over eighteen thousand years. Why did it suddenly activate!"
The Major stared dumbfounded at the glacier, which was now just a giant pit, muttering to himself.
His heart was even more astonished. Is alien technology really that durable?
...
And in the endless cosmic starry sky, a spaceship shaped like an octopus drifted like a wanderer, having done so for over thirty years!
They were all homeless wanderers, because their home planet had been destroyed, and all their people, along with their home planet, no longer existed.
Suddenly, their spaceship received a special signal, coming from a distant coordinate.
"General, we have received a message sent from the exploration and colonization spaceship dispatched eighteen thousand years ago, and that signal belongs to the El Family!"
Inside the spaceship, the fully armed female adjutant was reporting her discovery to their General.
"It must be the child Jor-El sent away back then. Apart from us, the exiled prisoners, he is the only one who survived!"
"Find him, retrieve the Life Codex, and restore Kryptonian glory!"
The group inside the spaceship were General Zod and his loyal subordinates, who had been sentenced to exile in the Phantom Zone for treason.
When Kryptonian was destroyed over thirty years ago, they took the opportunity to escape from the Phantom Zone.
The first thing they did after escaping was to return to Kryptonian. However, upon seeing their former home turned into ruins before their eyes, Zod swore to rebuild Kryptonian.
For years, they had been wandering the Universe, visiting all the outposts Kryptonian had established for colonization, but found only deathly silence, as if some force had killed them.
With no other option, they could only collect the remains of their compatriots and take whatever usable items they found.
Using these spaceship parts, they successfully modified a faster-than-light spaceship and had been navigating the interstellar space in it, searching for Kal-El's whereabouts.
Zod knew that Jor-El had stolen the Life Codex, and he would surely leave that item to his child. Therefore, the hope of rebuilding Kryptonian rested on him.
This time, when Clark activated the ancient explorer spaceship with the key, that special cosmic signal traveled across endless distances to General Zod's spaceship.
This signal gave Zod and his group a precise coordinate, providing a final destination for their long search.
And all the surviving Kryptonians who heard Zod's words shared the same feelings as him, and without a word, immediately activated their spaceship and headed towards that coordinate.
"Lord God, what should we do next?"
Once everything settled down, Clark also received his battle suit from Jor, becoming "Superman" with the red cape!
"Clark, you have your own destiny. Now you can do what you've always wanted to do. An old friend has come to find me!"
As Kytheron spoke to Clark, his eyes looked towards the endless void behind him.
A naked, blue-glowing guy was quietly standing there, observing Clark's every move, and of course, Kytheron as well.
Kytheron naturally recognized him: the Quantum God, Dr. Manhattan, a special god born from an accident in the Watchmen Universe. After discovering that the entire Watchmen Universe held no value for him, he left that World.
After traversing, he arrived in the Main Universe of the DC Omnipotent World, which is the current Universe.
"Yes, Lord God!"
Clark heard this and, without the slightest hesitation, turned and left.
Someone who could be friends with his Lord God must also be an equivalent Lord God; their conversation was not something he could participate in.
Although he had integrated the Superman template bestowed by Kytheron, that was still himself, merely with an added supreme directive of absolute obedience to Kytheron.
So, he was still himself, without too many changes.
His journey of self-discovery was complete. Not only did he clarify his Origins, but he also found his biological father and that supreme God.
Watching Clark leave, Kytheron's figure flickered and he appeared before Dr. Manhattan.
"You, like me, do not belong to this World, yet you are also different from me."
Kytheron knew he was referring to both of them having traversed from other Worlds, except that Kytheron had traversed to another Omniverse.
Sizing up the other's quantum body, Kytheron said, "Although you may not care, standing naked before me is still a bit uncomfortable!"
Even though Kytheron himself maintained his dragon form and could be considered naked, it still didn't stop him from teasing Dr. Manhattan.
Hearing Kytheron's first sentence was about his body, Dr. Manhattan was slightly surprised, then with a slight lift of his hand, a black suit materialized over his naked body.
"You've disrupted my plan. From countless timelines, I've seen the Universe's numerous destructions and rebirths, all related to Clark Kent. For this, I stole an entire decade from this Universe's time, modified Clark Kent's Origin story countless times, and even at one point erased the birth of hero society, thereby creating countless different futures, but in none of those futures did you ever exist!"
Dr. Manhattan spoke indifferently, his tone devoid of any emotion, as if merely stating a trivial matter.
