It Was Time to Set Off for Another World

"Even now, I still don't think your plan will succeed. Placing your hopes on someone else is far too passive."

Zhang Tianran did not say that Reverse-Flash was destined to fail, but he did not think highly of Reverse-Flash's plan either. Even without knowing the future, he still felt that way.

Reverse-Flash heard Zhang Tianran's words and shook his head in disappointment. He asked wistfully, "If it were you, what would you do? I've waited far too long. I have no interest in continuing to wait."

Zhang Tianran did not answer. Whatever Reverse-Flash intended to do, he had no plans to get involved. Besides, Reverse-Flash could never truly die. Even if he died, he could come back to life.

"I've decided to look elsewhere for something useful. Do you have any suggestions? Preferably somewhere that could turn me into a god or something." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tianran suddenly spoke.

Reverse-Flash froze when he heard this. Then he burst into wild laughter, as though he had suddenly been driven mad by Joker's laughing gas.

He had suppressed himself for far too long. No matter how insane Reverse-Flash was, he was still human. Naturally, he had emotions. Maintaining that calm expression for so long had already been no easy task.

After venting wildly for a while, Reverse-Flash finally regained his normal expression.

"Finally, you've finally come around? I've waited for this day for far too long—so long that I began to doubt my original decision. It's just a pity that there isn't much I can do to help you."

Reverse-Flash shook his head, his expression seemingly a little dejected.

"It's fine. I never held much hope to begin with. When I first met you, I thought you were powerful, as though you could do anything. But as I gradually became stronger, I gradually realized..."

"The cooperation you spoke of was merely you asking me for help. After all, if you truly had the ability, how could you have remained trapped here all this time?"

Zhang Tianran spoke calmly. He did not know when he had realized this, but he had never exposed it.

Perhaps he had already guessed it after using Velocity to gain the Speed Force.

Reverse-Flash stared intently at Zhang Tianran without saying anything, as though silently acknowledging his judgment.

Seeing that Reverse-Flash had no reaction, Zhang Tianran felt a little disappointed. He had genuinely hoped to receive some help before leaving. After all, venturing alone into this infinite universe was rather lonely.

"In that case, I'll be going first! See you tomorrow..."

Zhang Tianran waved and walked away. Reverse-Flash watched him calmly without speaking, like a parent seeing their child off to college.

"Zero, prepare to leave."

"Preparations complete..."

At that moment, Zhang Tianran's phone displayed the autopsy report for the real Wells, along with an adoption agreement. The date on it was more than half a month before the real Wells died.

In other words, Zhang Tianran had actually been adopted by the real Wells...

Zhang Tianran was not surprised by this result. In his memories, there had indeed been an adoptive mother, except she had later died in a car accident.

"Barry, I know everything that happened. I won't help you, but I won't help Wells either. I'm heading out for a while. If there's anything, we'll talk tomorrow!"

After leaving Barry a message, Zhang Tianran shrank the Time Ship once more, turning it into a doll-sized model and slipping it into his pocket.

"Zero, how do you feel? Has your performance been affected?"

It was Zhang Tianran's first time communicating with Zero this way, and he doubted whether it could still be of any use.

"Operational status is good, but the ship has lost its original power. Time travel is impossible, and most functions have failed, but it can still search for timeline anomalies."

"Fine, that's enough for now. Keep monitoring my physical condition. If anything goes wrong, immediately restore the ship to its original form and protect my body." Zhang Tianran was quite satisfied, but he still gave Zero a few instructions just to be safe. A Speedster was nearly invincible at extreme speed. But while asleep, unconscious, or in any other abnormal state, they were basically no different from an ordinary person.

So he still needed to make preparations in case something unexpected happened.

After Zhang Tianran's modifications, Zero had already integrated Ray Palmer's technology. It also possessed all kinds of weapons, so it had at least some ability to defend itself and flee.

"Leaving this world just like that... I really am a little reluctant."

After looking back at Central City and unconsciously touching the Time Ship in his pocket, Zhang Tianran did not hesitate. White Speed Force lightning erupted around him as a spatial-temporal rift gradually opened.

With a certain image firmly fixed in his mind, Zhang Tianran stepped directly through the rift.

In an instant, a massive flood of information swept past Zhang Tianran. It felt like traveling through time, and he needed to determine both the location and time he was heading toward.

Very quickly, Zhang Tianran arrived at his destination without any trouble.

Under the nighttime cityscape, the cars racing past all around seemed exceptionally quiet. Zhang Tianran, who had suddenly appeared there, clearly did not fit in.

"Zero, determine which timeline I'm in." Zhang Tianran casually gave the order, then appeared at the side of the street the next moment.

After all, he could not obstruct traffic. He was not afraid of it, but getting hit by a car by accident would still hurt.

Do not wonder why a Speedster could still be hit by a car. Without using the Speed Force, a Speedster's reaction speed was only slightly faster than that of an ordinary person.

"No signs of timeline alteration detected. This world's timeline appears to be extremely stable." Zero's voice slowly rang out, making Zhang Tianran breathe a sigh of relief.

As a Speedster, Zhang Tianran now greatly disliked worlds where the timeline changed all the time.

"Connect to this world's network. Get me some cash and solve the identity issue. Also arrange a car and a hotel or something." Rather than immediately heading to his destination, Zhang Tianran planned to rest for a few days first.

After all, every world's timeline was different. No matter how long Zhang Tianran stayed here, he could return to that original point in time whenever he wanted.

Being able to travel through timelines really did justify being willful. But not everyone could make good use of such power.

After easily obtaining identification from Zero, Zhang Tianran drove his newly delivered car through the streets of Los Angeles.

Without using the Speed Force, the speeding sports car lifted Zhang Tianran's spirits considerably.

But soon, as everything around him slowed down, a Black man with flapping black wings slowly descended from the sky.

"You don't belong to this world!"
