The appearance of the tree of life initially didn't attract much attention from others; they merely paused to observe for a moment before continuing with their construction.
They understood that this must be a rare treasure brought forth by their General.
With the sunflowers capable of endlessly producing Sun Essence, a fast-growing tree wasn't particularly remarkable.
But as time passed, everyone noticed something different.
A peculiar energy seemed to be radiating from the tree.
Under this energy, their bodies felt very comfortable, unlike the explosive pleasure brought by solar radiation; this was a subtle and pervasive sense of ease.
Soon, Leto arrived beside Zod, looking excited, and asked with some surprise, "General, what kind of tree is this? I couldn't find any related existence in the entire Krypton database!"
"The energy it emits seems to have a deeper nourishing and restorative effect on our bodies."
Before awakening his abilities, Leto had extensive knowledge in the field of science, and after awakening, he became an almost all-around scientist, relying on his super brain.
After awakening his talent, he immediately began researching himself and was the first person besides Zod to recognize the bioplasmic field, so he naturally had the most comprehensive understanding of his own body.
Therefore, in this short time, he had detected the effect of the energy released by the tree of life on his body.
However, what puzzled him was that while Zod had previously brought out sunflowers that could emit sunlight, he had at least found highly matching plants on Earth.
But this tree, in the Krypton database, and even in the Martian knowledge base provided by Martian Manhunter, no related existence could be found.
"This is the tree of life, a wonder from another universe. Touching it or its seeds can grant us telepathic abilities, and its seeds also have the effect of promoting life evolution."
"In the future, it will become another symbol of New Krypton."
Zod didn't act mysterious; he directly informed Leto of the origin and function of the tree of life.
"So it's from another world? How truly miraculous."
Leto had no doubts about Zod's words, and as a scientist, he naturally understood that parallel universes truly exist.
As for how his General obtained this item from another world, that was completely outside his scope of consideration.
"Mr. Zod, are you no longer on Earth? I sense a special psychic force coming from the universe. Do you know anything about it?"
At this moment, Zod suddenly heard the voice of Martian Manhunter in his mind.
Zod also just remembered that he had already promised to join New Krypton, but he hadn't been called upon for the birth of New Krypton.
Immediately, Zod likewise transmitted a message to him telepathically, "Jonn, we have found a suitable planet and are rebuilding Krypton. Do you want to come and see?"
Martian Manhunter naturally agreed to the invitation with pleasure: "Of course, I couldn't ask for more!"
Now, with Zod's cultivation greatly improved, his mental power, or rather, his soul strength, has also greatly increased.
In terms of mental strength alone, Martian Manhunter was no stronger than him, but the other party had already mastered their innate abilities to an exquisite degree, and in this aspect, he was indeed a step behind.
If he advanced further, stepped into the Sendai Secret Realm, and opened up the Solar Sendai, they would be able to completely widen the gap.
Upon receiving Martian Manhunter's reply, Zod raised his hand and opened a dimensional wall. The next moment, Martian Manhunter's figure was teleported to New Krypton.
"Such a rich life essence! So the psychic force I sensed earlier was actually emanating from it?"
After appearing, Martian Manhunter's attention was immediately drawn to the tree of life, and he also understood where his previous sensation had come from.
Zod looked at him and asked with a smile, "Jonn, what do you think of the New Krypton we are building?"
"It's incredible! I think I am witnessing with my own eyes a beautiful home, full of infinite vitality and infinite hope, being born step by step from your hands. Please allow me to participate, too, okay?"
Martian Manhunter spoke with genuine emotion. He, too, was a homeless person, and his feelings about this scene were no less profound than those of the Kryptonians who had lost their homeland.
"Of course, you have long been a member of our New Krypton, and in the future, your name will likewise be remembered by all Kryptonian citizens."
Zod naturally wouldn't turn down free labor and readily agreed to his request.
Martian Manhunter's various abilities were only stronger, not weaker, than those of ordinary Kryptonians. Moreover, his greatest strength was coordination, and with his addition, the construction work accelerated further.
Just as everything was proceeding smoothly, at a certain moment, Zod and Martian Manhunter suddenly stopped what they were doing and then looked up towards the sky.
Then the two exchanged glances, both knowing that someone was heading towards New Krypton.
Zod didn't forget to instruct the others, "Enemies are coming, put on your battle armor, and prepare to meet them."
Then he was the first to shoot into the sky, instantly flying beyond the planet, with Martian Manhunter immediately following him.
Fiora and the other Kryptonians who had already mastered flight quickly put on their battle armor after hearing Zod's command and all followed suit.
At this moment, in space, Green Lanterns, wearing green battle suits and radiating green light, were rapidly approaching New Krypton.
As a rising star in the Corps, Sinestro had now become a hot figure in the Corps. This time, he also received orders from the Guardians.
He was Abin Sur's half-disciple and brother-in-law, so their relationship was naturally closer, and he naturally asked:
"Sur, do you think those Kryptonians will honestly hand over what the Guardians are asking for?"
Hearing his question, Abin Sur thought of Zod from back then, then shook his head and said, "No, Kryptonians are proud. They won't agree to the Guardians' terms. This battle is unavoidable."
"So, the Guardians never intended to let these Kryptonians go, and issuing these orders was just out of false mercy?"
Although Sinestro was a Green Lantern, he didn't fully subscribe to the idea of universal justice. He felt the same way about the ten laws of the Green Lantern Corps, and he even less approved of some of the Guardians' words and actions.
After all, the process by which he obtained his power ring was illegal, and if the other members of the Corps or the Guardians knew, he would probably be immediately expelled from the Corps.
Fortunately, the power ring only valued the inheritor's willpower and had fewer requirements for the inheritor's character.
Abin Sur gently admonished, "Sinestro, do not be disrespectful to the Guardians."
Although he said this, Abin Sur also harbored doubts about the Guardians in his heart.
Because after hearing about the Sector 666 massacre from Zod last time, he immediately began investigating the matter, and a closer look revealed even more suspicious points.
He found that someone had deliberately erased all information about this incident, and all the points of suspicion ultimately seemed to point directly to the Guardians of the Universe.
This had once left him incredibly confused. He wanted to directly question the Guardians for the truth, but he was also worried about implicating the other members of the Corps.
Now, facing the task of suppressing the Kryptonians, he was also extremely conflicted. The long-standing awe ingrained in his bones made it impossible for him to disobey the Guardians' orders.
Yet, he also didn't want to truly see the last hope of a race destroyed in their hands.
The reason for this confidence this time was that the Guardians had transmitted all the methods for dealing with Kryptonians to everyone's power rings.
The weakness of Kryptonians is a substance called kryptonite. As long as they simulate kryptonite radiation through their power rings, they can greatly weaken the Kryptonians.
At this moment, all the Green Lanterns felt a powerful presence, completely undisguised, rapidly approaching them.
