Chapter 5176-5179 [Cracking the Anti-Life Equation]

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiang Nan has made considerable progress in his research on the mother box.

That day, as he continued to study the Mother Box, his consciousness was suddenly transported back to Earth.

Then, a huge and intricate pattern appeared beneath his feet.

This pattern is etched on the surface of the earth, appearing dark red, like a blooming fire lotus.

"Anti-Life Equation!" Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately recognized it and memorized its location.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan put the mother box into the storage room, and a portal teleported him back to Earth, arriving at the region where the Anti-Life Equation was located.

He then found that strange and powerful artifact on that land—the Anti-Life Equation.

The anti-life equation, as the name suggests, is an equation.

Loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ ridicule ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment = yy = hope and n = foolishness, love = lies, life = death, ego = dark side.

Whoever can solve this equation will have the will to control all living beings in the universe and make them all their slaves.

That's why Darkseid searched so desperately for it. Once he found it, no one could stop him from conquering the universe.

The Guardians of the Universe, the Green Lantern Corps, Kryptonians, Earthlings... all had to bow down to him, and naturally he became the ruler of the entire universe.

Xiang Nan memorized the anti-life equation and then erased the pattern from the ground to prevent it from falling into Daxide's hands in the future.

However, simply memorizing the equation is useless; he needs to solve it before he can use it and make it work properly.

……

Xiang Nan then returned to Oa Star, where he studied the Mother Box and tried to solve the equations.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has completely figured out the secrets of the Mother Box.

The Mother Box's most powerful ability is to manipulate particles. As we all know, the smallest unit in the material world is a particle, and the entire physical universe is composed of particles.

Therefore, since the Mother Box can manipulate particles, it can also control the material universe. It can reorganize matter, regenerate, and restore it to its original state according to its owner's wishes.

From converting air into food to creating or altering entire planets, the Mother Box can even destroy or reshape the entire universe, provided the energy supply is sufficient.

Simply put, the Mother Box is somewhat like the Phoenix Force, possessing the power to destroy and reshape planets.

The Mother Box also contained all the technological knowledge of Apokolips. As a result, after being reshaped by the Mother Box, Cyborg immediately transformed from an athletic student into an all-knowing and all-powerful super genius.

The Mother Box also possesses the ability to create "sonic boom tunnels," allowing people to travel freely throughout the universe. Steppenwolf demonstrated this ability multiple times in Justice League.

In addition, the Mother Box also possesses the ability to sense. It has a high degree of intelligence and can automatically explore information from the outside world.

In Justice League, after being activated by Cyborg's father, it sensed Superman's presence. Therefore, it didn't dare contact Darkseid. It wasn't until over a year later, after sensing Superman's death, that it sent a signal to Apokolips.

Therefore, during the many years that Xiang Nan brought it to Oa for research, although the Mother Box was always in an activated state, it did not send a signal to Darkseid for a long time because it sensed the presence of the Green Lantern Corps.

That's quite cunning.

……

However, Xiang Nan has only scratched the surface of understanding how to solve the Anti-Life Equation. This equation is extremely complex and not easily cracked.

"Should I steal the wisdom of Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor?" he thought to himself.

According to DC Comics, Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor are the most intelligent humans in the universe, with IQs reaching level nine, which is considered top-tier in the entire universe.

Furthermore, in DC Comics, Lex Luthor once cracked the Anti-Life Equation.

Even according to Zack Snyder's plans for Justice League 2/3, Darkseid only managed to crack the Anti-Life Equation with the help of Lex Luthor.

However, due to the box office failure of "Justice League," Warner Bros. rebooted the DCEU, so these storylines were never filmed.

"But Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor shouldn't be born yet, right?" Xiang Nan thought to himself.

Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor, like Superman, were born in the 1980s, while it's only the 1950s now, and their fathers might not even have been born yet.

"Forget it, let's go back to the real world first, wait for Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne, and continue our research on the Anti-Life Equation," Xiang Nan decided.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan told Diana about his desire to return to the city.

Diana readily agreed.

She also had a good impression of the human world, even though the people there were both good and bad, unlike the Amazons who were honest, kind, and loyal. But that made it all the more interesting.

Moreover, she felt very sorry for the injustice Xiang Nan had suffered on Paradise Island. Paradise Island did not welcome outsiders, let alone men, so for nearly thirty years, Xiang Nan could only stay in the house in the southeast corner and could not go out at will.

This is actually very unfair to him.

Therefore, when Xiang Nan said he wanted to return to the city, Diana understood his feelings and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, the two left Paradise Island again and returned to the human world.

This was in 1950, five years after the end of World War II.

When Xiang Nan and Diana returned to Earth, their first stop was London, where they visited their old friends, including Samir and Eta Candy.

When they arrived in London, they learned that Samir had died in the London Blitz during World War II. At that time, Germany dispatched three air squadrons, nearly three thousand aircraft, to launch air raids on Britain.

The bombing destroyed one-fifth of London's urban area, destroyed millions of houses, and killed or injured as many as 150,000 innocent civilians... Samir was killed by a bomb during the London Blitz.

"How come another war has broken out? Has Ares been resurrected?" This was the first time Diana had heard about World War II, and she learned that the scale of this war was even larger than that of World War I.

She was astonished when nearly sixty countries participated in the war, the number of casualties exceeded one hundred million, and the war losses amounted to more than four trillion US dollars.

“Not all wars are related to Ares,” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said. “I’ve often seen cats and dogs fighting, and I’ve seen conflicts break out between ants and bee colonies.”

Humans are also animals; their wars may not be due to divine intervention, but rather to their own internal thoughts.

"But why? Why must they kill each other?" Diana asked, puzzled.
