Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng reflected on his unknown parents while Natasha enjoyed the Starfolk’s liquor and considered how to trade their goods discreetly. At the wedding, she refused to answer Nick Fury’s questions about her time in space, leaving him frustrated but unable to confront her as a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

• Lin Feng left Tony with Howard and his wife, confident they would accept resurrection, and resolved to search for his own parents once he could return to the Primordial Universe.
• Natasha recalled her studies of the markets and her work with the Starfolk, whose liquor and potions she planned to sell under a different name to avoid attracting trouble.
• Natasha drank the newly brewed Starfolk liquor and shared her enjoyment with the Symbiote.
• Nick Fury pressed Natasha for details about her time in space, but she refused to answer his questions.
• Nick Fury restrained his anger because Natasha no longer belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lin Feng attended Tony's wedding, teased Black Egg, and was reminded of his own parents. Days later, his clone called for help during a fight in space, where Lin Feng found a Second Sequence woman and Clark; Lin Feng realized he had entered the DC Universe.

• Black Egg tried to get Natasha to reveal information, but Lin Feng arrived and mocked him until he left Tony's wedding early.
• Lin Feng drank with Natasha, then left the wedding with Susan after Tony indicated that he had persuaded the two elders.
• Lin Feng told Susan that seeing Tony with his parents had reminded him that he had never met his own parents.
• Days later, Lin Feng's clone called for help while fighting a woman, and Lin Feng used Instant Transmission to reach him in space.
• Lin Feng recognized the woman as the Second Sequence powerhouse from the clone's earlier mission and saw Clark on the battlefield.

Lin Feng joined his clone and Clark in fighting Nacia, a Second Sequence Black Robes whose bizarre power let her turn incorporeal and reflect attacks. As the clone pursued another Black Robes who had captured Kara Zor-El, Lin Feng kept attacking Nacia but could not hurt her.

• Clark asked Lin Feng why there were two of him, and Lin Feng told him to heal before joining the fight against Nacia.
• Lin Feng trapped Nacia with Telekinesis and attacked with Heat Vision and a punch, but both passed through her, and she reflected his punch back at him.
• Lin Feng's clone explained that Nacia was a Second Sequence Black Robes who could remain incorporeal indefinitely, and that he had destroyed the Black Robes' wristbands and blocked Nacia's spatial travel with the Heart of the Universe Fragment.
• The clone said Clark had recognized him by his otherworldly aura and revealed that another Black Robes had captured Kara Zor-El, prompting him to pursue the captor.
• Lin Feng continued firing Heat Vision at Nacia without harming her, while Clark watched and remained unable to track Kara.

Lin Feng stalled Nacia while secretly charging an unfinished perception-enhancing skill, and learned that she was also buying time. Their verbal sparring continued as both waited for their plans to unfold.

• Clark told Lin Feng that his attacks would not work on Nacia, and Lin Feng stopped attacking and taunted her instead.
• Lin Feng secretly prepared a skill empowered by the Heart of the Universe Fragment that could greatly enhance his perception and abilities at an enormous energy cost.
• Nacia revealed that an extradimensional item let her phase and briefly reach Multiverse Level strength, but it constantly drained her energy and injured her.
• Lin Feng sensed Nacia's anxiety and realized she was stalling for her Second Sequence companions to arrive, just as he was stalling to activate his skill.
• Lin Feng and Nacia traded increasingly convoluted guesses while Clark watched in confusion.

Lin Feng faced Nacia while she stalled for her companions, and he sent Clark back to protect Blue Star. After his skill finished charging, Lin Feng activated Super Buff and discovered the source of Nacia’s borrowed power and its weakness.

• Nacia pretended she was giving Lin Feng a chance while secretly waiting for her companions to arrive.
• Clark believed Nacia’s claim that Lin Feng was waiting for reinforcements, but Lin Feng explained through Telepathic Communication that he was waiting for his skill cooldown.
• Clark tried to stay and help Lin Feng, but Lin Feng persuaded him to return to Blue Star and protect it.
• Nacia mistook Clark’s departure for a search for reinforcements, then panicked when Lin Feng unleashed his ultimate and activated Super Buff.
• Lin Feng used his heightened perception to uncover Nacia’s secrets and learn that her multiverse-level strength came from a pendant that drained energy.

Lin Feng used Super Buff to uncover Nacia’s crimes and take the pendant that empowered her, then killed her. He identified Kara Zor-El as Supergirl and prepared to stage an act with her so his larger plan could proceed smoothly.

• Lin Feng used Super Buff to inspect Nacia’s history, seized her pendant, and dodged her attacks while listing her crimes.
• Lin Feng’s clone arrived with Kara, and Lin Feng learned that Kara had escaped a Time Rift with unawakened Time Control.
• The clone said he had killed the Black Robes who had pursued Kara, and Lin Feng agreed that Nacia should die.
• Lin Feng vanished with Nacia and returned alone after killing her.
• Lin Feng told his clone to return and prepared to carry out a plan with Kara.

Lin Feng disguised himself as Shanhai and confronted three Black Robes while protecting Kara. After killing two of them, he drove the tall leader to teleport away, leaving the encounter unresolved.

• Lin Feng reassured the frightened Kara and told her to stay quiet as they waited for the Black Robes.
• Lin Feng disguised himself as Shanhai and acted arrogant when the tall Black Robe questioned him.
• A Black Robe with metal claws attacked Lin Feng, who killed him with a destructive kick.
• Lin Feng released his overwhelming aura and attacked the tall Black Robe, who escaped by teleporting.
• Lin Feng shattered the remaining lackey's energy shield and killed him with a kick.

Lin Feng used a brief power boost and an aggressive act to intimidate a Black Robes leader while concealing his limitations. He claimed responsibility for Nacia and Dilar’s deaths and kept Kara, while the leader left to report what happened.

• Lin Feng killed the tall, skinny man’s two lackeys and beat the man until he warned that a First Sequence lord was watching.
• Lin Feng pretended to relent just as his BUFF ended, hiding that his strength had depended on the boost.
• The tall, skinny man asked about Nacia and Dilar, and Lin Feng said he had killed them for trying to take Kara’s time ability.
• The tall, skinny man told Lin Feng to return to Gathering Star No. 4, but Lin Feng challenged his authority, so the man activated his wristband and left to report.

After rescuing Kara, Lin Feng returned to Blue Star and asked Clark whether he wanted to restore Krypton. Clark feared Lin Feng meant to colonize Blue Star, but Lin Feng clarified that they could create a new Kryptonian civilization on Mars.

• Lin Feng drove off the lanky Black Robe member, then returned to Blue Star with Kara.
• Lin Feng reunited with Clark and the Justice League at Bruce's estate, where Bruce said he had prepared to help.
• Lin Feng took Clark aside and asked whether he had considered bringing Krypton back.
• Clark said Blue Star was humanity's home and feared Lin Feng intended to make it a Kryptonian colony.
• Lin Feng suggested Mars as a place to rebuild Krypton, leaving Clark stunned that he had never considered it.

Lin Feng persuaded Clark to use the Codex of Life to rebuild Kryptonian Civilization along a new path, despite Clark’s fears that Kryptonians might threaten Blue Star. Clark agreed to entrust the project to Lin Feng, leaving him responsible for Krypton’s future.

• Clark explained that Krypton’s rigid class system, lack of personal choice, and love of conflict had contributed to its destruction.
• Lin Feng asked Clark whether Krypton had good people and argued that its people deserved a second chance.
• Lin Feng proposed using the Codex of Life to raise Kryptonian children with freedom to choose their own futures.
• Lin Feng warned that the Black Robes could return and said a rebuilt Krypton could help protect Blue Star from outside threats.
• Clark agreed to let Lin Feng rebuild Kryptonian Civilization.

Lin Feng obtained the Codex of Life from Clark and used Super Buff to transform Mars into a concealed, habitable world for rebuilding Kryptonian Civilization under his control. After creating the planet’s first city and incubation chambers, he left a clone to manage Krypton and sent Shanhai to Gathering Star No. 4 with a stored use of Super Buff.

• Clark decided Lin Feng was trustworthy and gave him the Codex of Life.
• Lin Feng flew to Mars and activated Super Buff to reshape the planet into a life-bearing world modeled on Blue Star.
• Lin Feng built a central city and incubation chambers for the first Kryptonians, then concealed the transformed Mars behind a transparent curtain.
• Lin Feng left a clone on Krypton to manage the civilization he planned to rebuild.
• Lin Feng gave Shanhai a consciousness-free Symbiote containing one use of Super Buff and ordered him to go to Gathering Star No. 4.

Shanhai arrived at Gathering Star No. 4 and learned that Li Xieqian had come to confront him over Nacia’s death. When the tall thin man tried to provoke him, Shanhai used his power to age the man by several hundred years, leaving Li Xieqian to respond.

• Shanhai reached Gathering Star No. 4, where Old Wong told him that Li Xieqian was waiting in the mission hall.
• Shanhai entered the hall and found Li Xieqian seated with the tall thin man standing beside him.
• Li Xieqian greeted Shanhai and judged that his arrogance matched his reputation.
• The tall thin man demanded that Shanhai remove his hood, and Shanhai retaliated by rapidly aging him.
• The tall thin man was left with only about a hundred years of lifespan, and Li Xieqian had yet to act.

Shanhai demonstrated his apparently cost-free Time Manipulation to Li Xieqian, who hid his jealousy and offered him protection in exchange for joining the Gold-Silver Tree faction. Shanhai pretended to consider the offer while welcoming the chance to infiltrate the faction more deeply.

• Shanhai dismissed the tall, skinny man's complaints, and Li Xieqian kicked the man away and asked about Shanhai's time skill.
• Shanhai revealed his face and confirmed that he had obtained Time Manipulation, while Li Xieqian sensed no backlash and suspected it was far more powerful than its low ranking suggested.
• Li Xieqian claimed the higher-ups planned to erase Shanhai and reclaim his skill, then said a lord had intervened and offered to make the matter disappear.
• Li Xieqian invited Shanhai to join the Gold-Silver Tree faction, promising first pick of mission rewards and presenting him with a Second Sequence bracer.
• Shanhai pretended to weigh the offer and privately welcomed the opportunity to infiltrate the faction.

Shanhai joined Gold-Silver Tree and went with Li Xieqian to its gathering planet. On Mars, Lin Feng revived Kryptonian Civilization and then prepared to leave the DC World.

• Shanhai used Telekinesis to take the wristguard and accepted Li Xieqian's offer to join Gold-Silver Tree.
• Li Xieqian welcomed Shanhai and led him away from the mission hall toward Gold-Silver Tree's gathering planet.
• Lin Feng accelerated the incubation chambers on Mars, creating more than ten thousand Kryptonians and modifying their inheritance to make them obey him.
• Clark and Kara watched as the adult-bodied Kryptonians emerged and learned about Krypton and Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng addressed the Kryptonians, left their future management to his clone, and bid Clark farewell before preparing to leave the DC World.

Lin Feng returned to Marvel after building up his forces in DC and ordered two clones to retrieve Heart of the Universe Fragments. After Tony asked for space-travel destinations and childcare, Lin Feng agreed to look after Little Morgan while Tony and Pepper went on their honeymoon.

• Lin Feng took Little Morgan and her suitcase from Stark Tower, noticing she seemed to want to tell him something.

Tony and Pepper worried that Little Morgan had realized they were not her biological parents, while Lin Feng brought her to his villa. Little Morgan asked Lin Feng to take her to her old home, leaving him struggling to explain the truth.

• Tony and Pepper discussed Little Morgan’s unusual behavior and worried that she had discovered they were not her original parents.
• Tony comforted Pepper and resolved not to use the Mind Stone to alter Little Morgan’s painful memories.
• Lin Feng brought the unusually quiet Little Morgan to his villa and offered her hot cocoa.
• Little Morgan asked Lin Feng to take her to her old home and said Tony and Pepper were not her old Daddy and Mommy.
• Lin Feng recognized that Little Morgan had seen through their explanation but could not bring himself to lie to her.

Lin Feng comforted Little Morgan after she admitted she knew her parents from the Zombies Universe were gone, then agreed with Tony to take her back there. He proposed that Tony and Pepper join them so Little Morgan could meet her deceased parents, leaving Tony to discuss the idea with Pepper.

• Little Morgan told Lin Feng that she knew her original Daddy and Mommy were gone, and Lin Feng comforted her by describing parallel universes and another Daddy who loved her.
• Tony called Lin Feng because he and Pepper were worried about Little Morgan looking at old photos from the Zombies Universe.

A year after the Zombie Virus was eradicated, Lin Feng brought Tony, Pepper, and Morgan back to the devastated Zombie Universe, where the population remained scarce and the world was at a standstill. They reopened Morgan’s Safe House, and Tony asked Friday to show him the records of the outbreak.

• Lin Feng teleported Tony, Pepper, and Morgan to the ruined streets of New York, where Tony launched a drone and tried to connect to the network.
• Lin Feng led them to the Safe House where he had found Morgan, clearing away the overgrown plants at its entrance.
