Rao's eyes were calm as he recalled the past. While gazing at Ye Ritian, he continued, "As an ancient Sakaki clan of Krypton, I understood my mission from the moment I was born: to create the Kryptonians. The Kryptonian bloodline possesses immense potential and is an essential condition for the chosen one of the world. I have always held this genetic lineage firmly in my hands, never daring to carelessly let it leak out. But you... how exactly did you obtain it?"
The core of the DC universe is Superman.
At the core of all Superman is the main universe at the center of the multiverse: Superman.
Before the main universe's Superman, all Supermen must give way to him, giving him resources, his halo, everything... etc. He is, in principle, the true son of DC, with an extremely noble status.
The nickname "Daddy of DC," like that for Batman in the main universe, is more of a joke about how exaggerated, bizarre, and illogical his overpowered abilities are.
"When things are going well, rely on Superman; when things are going badly, rely on Batman; when things are desperate, rely on Lightning..." Just the existence of this saying shows that Batman, an ordinary man, has such abilities and power, which is completely beyond the realm of reason compared to the other two superhumans.
This is something even Dr. Manhattan, an outsider who traveled from the Watchmen universe to the DC universe, can understand. There's no reason why Rao wouldn't know.
Therefore, our Sun God values the Kryptonian genes more than anyone else, and places even greater importance on the core survivor, Kal'el, because he possesses immense value.
The entire DC universe exists because of Superman; this isn't just a random claim. He has drawn the attention of all the top deities, though they all seem puzzled as to why an entire world is bound to one Superman. What are we then?
If he's gone, the world is gone too. So what about us? We just abandon him? It's absurd, yet laughable, this shitty world.
This is the truth of the world, and also an option of the DC subconscious.
“Apart from that outlier Clark Kent, I control all Kryptonian bloodlines and have absolute supreme authority. Everyone is born with my permission, but you, Ye Ritian, are not among them.”
Rao glared angrily at Ye Ritian, his face gradually contorting into an abstract expression. He roared, "Damn it! If it weren't for you, my plan... might have succeeded. Although there were two variables, the five-dimensional golden Superman and the seven-dimensional Supergirl, they are ultimately not the chosen ones of the world and are not worth worrying about at all."
"But you... Ye Ritian is different. Not only did you appear out of thin air, which was very strange, but you also hindered the implementation of my perfect plan, causing my ideas to deviate seriously. Damn it, you shouldn't have been my enemy in the first place."
Rao gritted his teeth in anger, staring intently at Ye Ritian, that despicable beast, why?
Why did you suddenly intrude into the world inside the wall? You were doing just fine in the world outside the wall, why did you come here to wreak havoc on our world? How despicable! Go back to your own original world.
Within the entire multiverse, Krypton's fate is unique; it's an incredibly powerful entity, shrouded in an invisible force from the very beginning.
From the very beginning of Krypton's creation, it seemed as if its annihilation was destined. Everything was planned out, and Krypton only needed to follow the established order.
And every universe is like this, with Krypton in every star system going through cycles, sending Karl away one after another, and then helping him grow into Superman on Earth. After the concept of Superman was born, it seemed to open a door, followed by a series of troublesome supernatural events and aliens descending on Earth.
Every universe is like this, and then they all form a Justice League, which is very interesting. It's like the 100,000-year cycle in Super Beast Force, where the order is fixed.
"What are you trying to say? Are you innocent and pitiful? Nothing in this world is perfect. Perhaps my arrival means that your plan is not perfect. It is normal for there to be minor flaws. That's a good thing, Rao. If you don't realize your mistakes, that will be unfortunate. It's just that you used the wrong method to fix the flaws."
Ye Ritian looked at the Sun God calmly, ignoring his manic expression, and said indifferently, "If I remember correctly, you were the one who became hostile to me first, trying to control me, and even came to my house to interrogate me about my secrets without explanation. Ha, therefore, it is not me who is your enemy, but you who are my enemy."
Rao frowned: "? Wasn't it you who was in the Earth Metropolis from the beginning, spouting nonsense and telling countless gods to wash their necks clean for you to bloodbath? And you still say you didn't start the conflict? How can you blame me for this?"
Ye Ritian slowly raised his head, staring straight at the foolish Rao, and sneered: "I did say that, but it wasn't directed at you, it was directed at everyone. Did I mention your name Rao by name? No, I meant the trash in the multiverse... I will visit you with my sword another day, that's my original statement. You don't even live in the multiverse, what's your hurry?"
"What does it matter to you if I'm arrogant and domineering? Other gods haven't jumped out yet, but you're the first to do so. Do you want to be the first to speak up? Ha, I'm still young. What's wrong with being young and impetuous?"
"What's wrong with wanting to kill some gods to satisfy my craving while I'm young?" Ye Ritian looked at him coldly and continued.
"Only when you came to my ship in a later timeline did I single out the four of you to provoke you. I didn't cause you any trouble when you first came to Metropolis. On the contrary, you deliberately brought the Ancient Doomsday to the main universe to cause trouble for me and plotted against me behind my back. Don't think I don't know about this."
"Me, your enemy? No, no, no, it's you who's my enemy." Ye Ritian thought to himself. Actually, who's right and who's wrong isn't important, because if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. Everyone understands that. Let's not dwell on this. Let's just keep it to ourselves, okay?
He thought to himself, "No matter what, I will wipe out the DC world. If they don't come after me, I will come looking for trouble sooner or later. I am a villain, a great evil man."
Shaking his head, Ye Ritian stopped thinking and slowly raised his head, looking at the bewildered Rao.
"you……"
Rao was speechless. The other person was too eloquent, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. His mind went blank, and he couldn't come up with any words.
Chapter 231 The Sun God Rao Vents His Dissatisfaction
Ye Ritian's lips curled into a cold smile as he mocked...
"As the supreme god of Krypton, the revered faith of countless people, you watched helplessly as countless Kryptonians under your rule perished one after another. Is your existence merely to shape the core of the world?"
"If that's the case, then what's the point of having other ordinary Kryptonians? We might as well just create one Clark, or create a universe where only he, the Superman, exists, and Clark can do whatever he wants in there, like raising pigs and herding sheep."
Rao frowned slightly, remaining silent and staring coldly at the other person. What exactly do you want to say? Wait for what comes next.
Ye Ritian continued, "As the sun god of Krypton, you actually orchestrated the birth of the ancient Doomsday and helped it kill its own people. It's understandable that you killed the evil god who threatened your position; any normal person would do that, fearing the loss of everything. I support your stance. But what I never expected was that you didn't stop there. Instead, you went even further, changing from the previous laissez-faire approach of Krypton's governance to personally intervening and strictly controlling it, thus accelerating the wheels of destruction."
Rao was startled. How could this guy see things so clearly? What kind of life experience and wisdom must he have to have to develop such a clear and insightful mind?
Before the Ancient Doomsday was born, I was indeed manipulating everything in the shadows. It wasn't until it escaped that I realized the seriousness of the situation and stepped out from behind the scenes to the open.
Ignoring Rao's increasingly ugly face, his expression turning ashen, and completely disregarding the instigator, Ye Ritian began his third soul-searching question with great relish.
"As a noble god of Krypton, you coldly watch this unchanging fate, never thinking of leading your people in rebellion? Can you bear to watch countless people kneel in devout worship, treating you as their faith, their guardian, their spiritual anchor? Can you really be so complacent and unmoved, without even a shred of pity or care? Do you have no desire to protect them at all? Are you really so heartless and cold-blooded, Rao?"
After a pause, Ye Ritian roared, "Even for an ancient Sakaki clan born of destiny, is it really that difficult for beings like you to possess a kind heart? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death? Afraid of being beaten? Afraid of being ridiculed?"
The more I talked, the angrier I got. To hell with fate! My destiny is in my own hands, not in the heavens. If the heavens want to destroy me, I'll destroy the heavens. I don't believe in predetermined schedules. I want to arrange things myself and don't need anyone else to plan for me.
Ye Ritian never thought of himself as a savior or a villain from birth. He was just an ordinary person. Everyone lives on Earth and experiences the lives of their respective classes. In his previous life, he had no power to resist fate and was treated like a leek to be slaughtered.
Now that he has arrived in another world, he will take complete control of his own destiny. He has never been afraid of a fixed and cruel fate; what he truly fears is... not having the power to resist it all.
Therefore, he was willing to take the lead in challenging the existing fate and overturning that corrupt and defeated formula.
Rao took a deep breath, feeling a bit devastated by what he'd been told. He tried to calm himself down, looking at Ye Ritian with a complicated expression, and said self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I don't want to change the status quo? Do you think I can do whatever I want just because I'm a primordial god? Do you think my life has been smooth sailing?"
Ye Ritian remained calm and was about to speak.
Rao interrupted in time, sneering, "Ha, I'm just doing what I think is right. You know how important Superman is, it goes without saying. He's the core of the world, the ultimate crystallization of everything. Everyone revolves around him, which is very unfair. Put yourself in my shoes. If you were in my shoes, I don't believe you would willingly accept this!"
……quiet!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ritian fell silent, unsure how to respond. However, he knew that if this were happening to him, he would fight back desperately and search for a solution.
In the process of finding a solution, he will never stand idly by and watch every Kryptonian and its people perish. Instead, he will step in to save a few. He has not become so cold-blooded and cruel that he would abandon even his own people.
Breaking the deadlock or not cannot be accomplished simply by killing these Kryptonians and destroying a few planets, because the equivalent value is far too unequal.
After a pause, Ye Ritian's eyes gradually became devoid of joy or sorrow, turning silent and dark: "If I were you, I would rebel against fate and use other methods to avoid implicating the innocent, instead of toying with everyone's fate like you do. I cannot agree with your approach. You act as their god while watching them die, showing utter indifference and lack of emotion. You are unworthy of your position. If you were to relinquish your position as the chief god and then do this, I would not say anything. But since you have taken the title, you must do things for people. Taking benefits without doing anything is somewhat immoral."
Rao found it amusing and sneered repeatedly.
"Morality? What a load of crap, worthless. I am a primordial god, recognized and crowned king by the world. I come first, the Kryptonians follow. Do I have to defer to them? The Great Will of the World used me to create the Kryptonians, so how I deal with them has nothing to do with it. And don't forget, in essence, it is the culprit behind everything, while I... have become the scapegoat for it. Hah."
"Don't try to intimidate me with the laws established by lowly intelligent humans. Do they even deserve it?" Rao scoffed. "Can morality make me stronger?"
"Showy but impractical rules and regulations may seem useful, but they are actually useless. Power is obtained through force and coercion. Try talking about morality with vicious people," Rao said with a look of disgust.
The other party's rebuttal silenced Ye Ritian once again. He didn't say anything. What Rao said wasn't wrong. What made Superman the core was the Great Will of DC. But what did Rao do wrong? What did the others do wrong?
The only mistake... might be blaming them for knowing the truth. If they didn't know the truth, they wouldn't have so many troubles.
Strictly speaking, Superman is the protagonist of DC, and he is the core of everything, which is true. But that's just how it is. Every world needs a protagonist. Without him, how would the subsequent events unfold?
He gently shook his head. Different stances lead to different beliefs about justice. There is no such thing as justice or evil; there are only different perspectives and positions. He then looked up, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow as he gazed at Rao.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Ritian lowered his head and pondered, "If Stan Lee is the father of Marvel, then Joe Kubert is the father of DC. Rao can't blame Joe Kubert, can he? Well, it's no use blaming him. You're just a minor character in his book. Do you expect him to jump out of the book and make you change things? Do you think you're some kind of incredible person?"
This is something that an incredible person could do. In the comics, he once traveled through dimensions to the real world, broke the fourth wall, and went to Stan Lee to ask him to change his character's appearance. He was all green and had a pointy head, which was really incompatible with him. As a result, he was verbally refused by Stan Lee. Afterwards, this silly guy returned to Marvel dejectedly...
He was deep in thought, head bowed.
Seeing Ye Ritian fall silent after his words, Rao felt a slight surge of pleasure. Instinctively, a faint smile appeared on his lips, but his voice remained icy and piercing.
"It is precisely because of Superman's importance that I calmly watch Kryptonian planets perish, allowing the Kryptonians to come to an end. To be honest, my plan's first step is to control the bloodline authority of all Kryptonians, the second is to control Clark, and the third step is to wait for the right time to replace Clark as Superman..."
"I know I am powerless to defy fate; one person's strength is ultimately limited. That's why I recreated three main gods to share the burden with me, following its trajectory. The appearance of the evil god was also part of my plan. Since every Kryptonian universe is destined for destruction, and everything exists to serve and be born for Superman, then I myself am also part of Krypton. So I thought..."
Rao slowly raised his head, staring coldly at Ye Ritian and said, word by word, "I want to mold myself into Superman, replace Clark's position, and make myself the absolute center of DC."
This was her true ultimate plan. Originally, everything was going smoothly. The plan occasionally deviated from its intended course, but none of them led to a fatal collapse. However, the appearance of the man in front of her completely disrupted the established chessboard layout.
Everything began to spiral out of control; everything went awry, heading towards an uncertain and unpredictable future; the sense of certainty was gone forever.
"This man... he deserves to die, why did he have to appear in this world?" At this moment, Rao hated Ye Ritian to the core.
"Oh, gradually replacing Clark? Increasing one's chances of success by suppressing or exploiting other Supermen, what a brilliant idea, Rao..."
Ye Ritian was a little surprised, not expecting his plan to be so grand. This was about stealing the lead role. He looked at him calmly and said, "I have to say, your approach is bold enough, but also quite naive. Rao, the Superman aura isn't so easy to steal. You don't have that potential or qualifications."
Competing with Superman for the title of Chosen One? You're dreaming.
Is this something that can be negotiated? No, this is absolutely not something that can be negotiated. There's no room for compromise whatsoever. If you can take this away, I, Ye Ritian, will change my surname to yours.
Here's a joke: In a comic book, a supporting character wants to compete with the protagonist for the title of "Chosen One," thus positioning himself as the core of everything.
Did Joe Kubert agree to let you play the lead role?
Then, looking at the sun god with pity, he thought, "What a pitiful man, born to be a foil for others, but in fact, he is lucky."
Each person exists according to their own way of being, and all things follow this law to be born and to perish. In fact, it doesn't matter which world you live in; what matters is how you live the process well.
Only the present situation is truly real. Yearning for the future and reminiscing about the past are full of fantasy and memories, lingering in virtual ideas, far less real than the actual scene and objects before our eyes.
In my past life, wasn't the real world also ridiculed? The entire Earth, and even the universe, was transformed from a single cell within an organism, and humans were merely viruses. What could you do in such a situation?
Just let things slide. This statement lacks accurate evidence and shouldn't be taken seriously. That's the nature of the truth. If you know it, you'll be afraid. If you don't know it, you don't need to worry so much. Why bother with so much? It exists everywhere. There are always living beings that have to fill certain positions.
"What do you know? Ye Ritian, stop putting on that superior attitude."
Rao glared angrily at Ye Ritian, taking in the pitying look on his face. "Damn it, what is this? Do I need your pity?"
“You don’t understand anything at all! Why is Clark born superior to everyone else, while I’m reduced to his decoration and spotlight, trying my best to shine and highlight his nobility and extraordinary status? Tell me… why is all this happening?”
Rao lost control of his emotions, roaring wildly at Ye Ritian, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction. His expression was almost insane, and he had completely lost his reason.
No one knew how much negative emotion he had been accumulating and hiding in his heart. At this moment, all his grievances were roared out to the sky, released to the fullest extent, and he vented his anger on the hateful man in front of him.
Ye Ritian remained silent and unperturbed, his face calm and his eyes neither arrogant nor impatient. He patiently listened to Rao's grievances, becoming Rao's confidant for his emotional distress. The other party's situation and venting were normal and perfectly reasonable.
