I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1130 The Civilization of the Deceased 'Utopia - Sephiroth'

Based on this association,

Su Wen could even clearly hear a burst of gunfire coming from his left rear:

That should be the association's exclusive secret underground shooting range.

The crisp sound of 9mm pistol cartridge cases hitting the ground intertwined with the muffled thud of the silencer, creating a unique rhythm, occasionally punctuated by the excited growl of a hunter.

Normally, in Tokyo, where gun control is strict, such frequent live-fire shootings should have alerted ordinary citizens long ago.

in other words,

This place is indeed exceptionally special, and exceptionally dangerous.

Therefore, long before he arrived here, he had deliberately suppressed the spiritual energy fluctuations unique to third-tier extraordinary beings, keeping his aura at a high-tier first-tier level.

Six years into the origin story, this level wouldn't have garnered much attention here.

His global influence allowed him to maintain his extraordinary ability to remain hidden, and of course, Natsume Chie, as a novice who had just broken through from Rank Zero to Rank One, had even less need to conceal herself.
But seeing that these two not-so-strong superhumans also rushed here after the 'Tokyo Declaration' hoping to get a share of the spoils,

Many people laughed.

After all, the definition of the Origin Era had not been published for very long.

Only a few universities allow their students to try psionic courses, but according to currently available information, the vast majority are at most at level zero, not even touching the door of magic or level one, at most just strengthening their bodies.

This is why they dare to be so arrogant even though they are only at the second tier.

Some even mocked:

"What kind of unorthodox teaching method do you have? It's not some long-lost school of thought, is it? Hahaha."

Meanwhile, a one-eyed hunter who was wiping his kunai chuckled, while his companion tapped the bounty board with the tip of his knife.
"Now even ordinary people at the first rank dare to take on A-level destruction prophecy missions?"

Shouldn't the association put up a sign at the entrance saying "Entry prohibited for those below Level 2 of Transcendental Rank"?

But when that person looked into Su Wen's deep eyes, he felt as if his brain had been suddenly pierced by pain.

just,

That feeling vanished instantly.

This made him not even realize that Su Wen might have another identity.

However, these second-tier superhumans were no longer in Su Wen's sights. On the contrary, in the plan, they would become Su Wen's cover.

That's why he chose to come here.

The handsome scholar spread his psychic senses like a spiderweb, searching for the true high-ranking transcendent beings hidden here:
In the booth on the left side of the private room they entered, a silver-haired woman was playing with a crystal ball, her psionic energy fluctuations as deep and powerful as the undercurrents of the deep sea.

Two levels below him, a red-haired gunman who was adjusting a sniper rifle simply kept his head down and remained silent.

No wonder the Night Watch sent spies to infiltrate this place; after all, it is rare in the entire Far East region to have more than ten third-tier powerhouses gathered at the same time.

But with that in mind, Su Wen did not hesitate.

He simply flicked the highest-level invitation he had disguised using his trial ability at the old man who was holding a beer.

He then stated the purpose of his visit:

"I want to participate in the next pioneering operation."

And when I heard him say that

The old man finally looked up at him, then smiled and waved his hand.

"Young man, didn't you hear what 'Scarface' just said?"

Several large 'unofficial controlled zones' have indeed emerged within Tokyo, but those are not areas that a high-level Tier 1 transcendent can easily control.

"It is true that I am a high-ranking first-order official, but I am also a 'Wizard':"
The Extraordinary Lineage: The Pathfinders.

The next second, a superhuman certification certificate appeared in Su Wen's hand, so realistic it could be mistaken for a fake.

obviously,
This was also something he faked using his trial ability (identity fabrication).
However, Su Wen, who has extensive experience browsing the forum "The Great Wall of Despair," is well aware that a guide is extremely important in an unexplored area.

Especially after gaining experience traversing [Deep Tokyo], and with the activation of [Appraisal Vision], he might have an advantage over ordinary guides.

However, he is currently unable to determine the exact form of the other "Great Prisons" that imprison the divine evil.

in other words,

If infiltrating Deep Tokyo was a coincidence, then his next move required him to plan ahead.

And when he displayed his extraordinary lineage...

The old man stroked his beard, a rare occurrence for him.

"If that's the case, then we can let you join 'Operation Deep Dive' as well."

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar term, Natsume Chie seemed puzzled and whispered to Su Wen, "..."

"teacher,

What does 'deep dive' mean?

Hearing her confusion, Su Wen didn't hide it:

"As the concentration of spiritual energy increases, the area that most humans can set foot in, known as the 'visible depth,' also continues to increase."

The visible depth of the Earth is constantly expanding, while the origin year is a conclusion drawn after the standard depth has exceeded the 'critical point'.

The Zero Degree Detection Bureau was responsible for measuring depth, the Great Library for demarcating boundaries, but other tasks were left to the pioneers and various specific nations.

Therefore,
Exploring deeper into the spiritual currents—this is the 'Deep Dive Project'.

However, this is an unofficial statement.

According to official statements, the 'borderline of the Spirit Tide' is not to be crossed arbitrarily.

of course,

The deep dive he and Jiang Menghan had previously conducted in Miss Watcher Phyllis's laboratory was an even more risky endeavor.

Because that kind of deep dive involves directly plunging into the Black Tide, if it weren't for using the infiltration pods of previous civilizations, it wouldn't be impossible for them to dissolve directly into the Black Tide.

After all, they are not supernatural beings like siren who treat the ocean tides as their home.

At least apart from the Star Dragon,

Su Wen has never seen any life form more adaptable than them.

Hearing his educational conversation with Chie, the old man didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he casually remarked:

"You're right, but we have professional deep-sea diving channels here."

Is that what you're planning?

He didn't ask Su Wen where he got the information.

But at this very moment,
Before Su Wen could answer, he heard Caroline whispering in his ear again.

Perhaps because the instability in [Deep Tokyo] was becoming increasingly severe, the hacker's voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

So this time she didn't try to use her hacking skills, but instead used the private chat channel of the [Dawn System]:

“Dear Mr. Rhine, I must remind you that after sensing the uneasy atmosphere, the giant spider prematurely began to destabilize the space.”

Therefore, Meiji Shrine has fallen to the 'borderline'.

You don't need to go there anymore, aren't you happy? Another mission objective point is gone.

But fortunately, through its crazy behavior, I finally obtained some core data:
The civilization that created the Tokyo Metropolitan Prison is truly rooted in the ancient starry sky.

And its name is:
In the early Fourth Age, the civilization of the deceased, 'Utopia-Sephiroth'.

"The beginning of the Fourth Era, could it be..."

"Yes, it connects to the long cosmic vacuum period after the last resistance forces of the Third Era completely lost their life signals:"

'First fire'.
