Regarding whether Lin Feng was trustworthy, Clark felt there was no need to overanalyze the question.
In the universe, only he, Lin Feng, and Kara remained as Kryptonians, although Lin Feng did not belong to this universe.
Moreover, Lin Feng's actions on these two occasions, and the righteousness radiating from him, were not something that could be faked.
To put it mildly, if Lin Feng had wanted the Codex, he could have simply taken it, and Clark would have been powerless to resist.
Lin Feng, having achieved the desired outcome, couldn't help but smile.
When Lin Feng had first arrived a few years ago, he had considered rebuilding Kryptonian civilization.
However, at that time, Lin Feng's strength was insufficient, and he didn't even know how to extract the Codex from Clark's body.
This unexpected trip was naturally an opportunity he wouldn't miss to acquire the Codex.
After all, the foundation of Kryptonian civilization was astonishing.
Interstellar warships, time travel, organ replication, and so on.
However, these were somewhat negligible to Lin Feng.
What he primarily valued was the combat power of Kryptonians who had been exposed to a yellow sun.
As long as they had enough time to bask in the sun, wouldn't everyone be a Superman?
Huo, Lin Feng could only think of one word: exciting!
The System Store did have a replica version of the Codex, but the price was outrageously high.
Getting it from Clark saved a tremendous amount.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng, holding a stone-like object, flew towards Mars.
He recalled seeing on forums before his transmigration that the reason for Superman's immense power in the Man of Steel version was inextricably linked to the Codex.
But Lin Feng felt they might have been overthinking it.
At least in the version he had encountered, taking the Codex had not caused any harm to Clark.
Nor did it have any impact on Clark's strength.
Arriving on Mars, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, accumulating energy, preparing to activate his Super Buff for the second time to rebuild Krypton.
It wasn't strictly necessary to activate the Buff to rebuild Krypton.
Rather, in this state, the comprehensive enhancement of his cognition, perception, and even skills would enable Lin Feng to better understand and rebuild Kryptonian civilization.
He would never admit that he used it because it looked incredibly cool.
As for why he chose Mars, it was because if any Black Robes were to arrive, he could immediately provide support to Blue Star.
Lin Feng's conversation with Clark was not an exaggeration.
Also, it was close to the sun, so Lin Feng wouldn't have to search for another yellow star.
Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't be working for free.
The rebuilding of Kryptonian civilization must be under his control.
Since he was rebuilding Krypton, he naturally had to be its master.
No matter what, he had to hold the unshakeable say.
This wasn't about deceiving Clark.
Clark's upbringing and education made him unsuitable for such a position.
Thinking about soon having a batch of Supermen at his command, Lin Feng became somewhat excited.
Entering his Super Buff state, Lin Feng's eyes once again turned golden.
Under Lin Feng's activation, the Codex slowly liquefied and flowed in the air.
With a slight movement of his golden eyes, Mars began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Krypton's original gravity was something Blue Star could not imagine.
However, Lin Feng did not modify Mars according to the original Kryptonian environment. Instead, he transformed Mars into a life-bearing planet similar to Blue Star.
The Kryptonian genetic records in the Codex already possessed the ability to absorb yellow stellar radiation, so such high gravity and harsh environments were no longer necessary.
Oceans, landmasses, beaches, vegetation, all were created one after another under Lin Feng's control.
Lin Feng referenced the scenes of Blue Star and the Star race as he rebuilt Mars.
In the final stages of the transformation came the corresponding cities.
Lin Feng built a large city only in the central area to facilitate the lives of the first batch of Kryptonians.
Future development would depend on their own efforts.
However, given the technological level of Kryptonian civilization, their next creation would be a highly advanced city.
With a thought, within the underground spaces of the steel city, numerous birthing pods began to appear.
The first batch of Kryptonians would still need to be born through this method.
After this, natural births would be prioritized, like Clark's, born from love.
The birthing pods would serve as a supplement to ensure a stable Kryptonian population.
Only when a certain scale was achieved would the birthing pods be permanently abandoned.
This immense undertaking was not difficult for Lin Feng in his Buff state, and soon, Mars was completely unrecognizable.
After completing all this, Lin Feng waved his hand, covering Mars with a transparent curtain akin to an illusion.
Now, when viewed from space, Mars looked very similar to Blue Star.
To prevent Blue Star's prying eyes and avoid panic, Lin Feng covered the entire Mars with the curtain, making it appear from an observational standpoint as desolate and storm-ridden as before.
As long as one did not land on Mars, the changes would not be discovered.
Looking at the nascent life-bearing planet beneath his feet, Lin Feng was extremely satisfied.
Finally, Lin Feng created another clone and placed it on Krypton.
This clone would help him manage Krypton, and it would become one of Lin Feng's future strengths.
He couldn't handle everything himself; that would be too tiring.
Although he had the Symbiote Legion, in terms of both quantity and quality, they were no match for Kryptonians.
To be honest, Lin Feng had even considered what it would be like to place Symbiotes on Kryptonians.
He would try it if he had the chance.
"Shan Hai!" Lin Feng called out.
Another clone emerged from Lin Feng's body.
It was Shan Hai, who had been undercover among the Black Robes. He had given himself this name, and Lin Feng simply used it.
"Take this!" A mass of black fluid appeared in Lin Feng's hand and then merged into Shan Hai's body.
This was a reward Lin Feng had previously obtained from the Venom universe outside of numbered entities – a Symbiote without consciousness.
Lin Feng rarely used it himself, only to change his clothes or sometimes transform into Superman's suit.
But now, Lin Feng no longer needed it.
Lin Feng bestowed an instance of the Super Buff skill upon this Symbiote.
Although a clone shared the same origin as oneself, powerful skills that were not yet named, like Super Buff, could not be used by a clone.
"You go to Gathering Star Number Four first. Deal with the rest as you see fit!" Lin Feng instructed.
The clone Shan Hai nodded, then activated his wristband and teleported out of the dC universe.
He was naturally aware of what Lin Feng had done previously.
The plan had succeeded; now, he needed to continue to work hard...
