[You have gained 10 trillion Professional Experience (Space-Time Transcender lv max!)]

[Transcendence Domain synchronizing and upgrading...]

[Ding!]

[Based on your full-level Core Ability (Transcendence Domain), you have acquired Core Specialization (Deep Diving Realm)]

[Core Specialization: Deep Diving Realm]

[Description: Contrary to the Transcendence Domain, which elevates one’s position in time and space to achieve transcendence, the Deep Diving Realm continuously descends, thereby achieving transcendence from a different perspective.]

Reaching the maximum level in Space-Time Transcender truly unlocked a fresh Core Specialization.

Yet, to Su Yu's astonishment, this latest Core Specialization failed to boost his Transcendence Domain like he had expected.

Rather, it represented a change in viewpoint, moving from transcendence toward deep diving.

"Deep diving?"

The Core Specialization's explanation proved rather tricky to grasp.

Still, Su Yu understood perfectly that a Core Specialization must surpass a Core Ability in power.

Thus, he activated the new power without a second thought.

The very next moment, Su Yu plunged into... the Deep Diving Realm!

Before this, Su Yu resided within the Transcendence Domain, his "height" towering well beyond the Primordial Universe, rivaled only by the Great Entity dwelling in the Infinite Universe.

Yet now, Su Yu started plunging downward, his "height" plummeting swiftly in short order.

Such a drop in height spells disaster for any living civilization.

Su Yu himself sensed the mounting pressure.

With the "height" falling, he noticed his mind, intellect, processing capacity, and very humanity... all beginning to crumble and deteriorate.

Luckily, as he dove deeper, Su Yu kept the Transcendence Domain active, carrying it with him seamlessly.

Much like a regular human crafting a submersible suit to carve out a livable zone in the ocean depths.

Right now, Su Yu's Transcendence Domain served as that "diving device," preserving his awareness and existence inside the Deep Diving Realm.

After diving for an unknown duration, Su Yu sensed... he had hit the bottom!

"It's possible to actually reach the bottom..."

Experiencing the Deep Diving Realm for the first time, Su Yu never imagined the deepest stratum of time and space could be "touched." What hides below that bottom?

However, Su Yu held off on probing this "bottom" right away, opting instead to glance "upward."

Right then, the gaze from "above" vanished from Su Yu's perception.

Clearly, his deep dive had caused that Great Entity to lose track of him.

At last, Su Yu slipped free from the lock-on, dodging the peril.

Max-level Space-Time Transcender proved capable of turning the tide for Su Yu.

Relief washed over Su Yu as he started scanning his environment.

In truth, nothing tangible existed nearby—no standard space-time fabric, no causality, no signs of life, utterly void.

A mere intangible divide of "up and down" persisted, letting Su Yu, the Space-Time Transcender, perceive his vicinity as utterly alien to before.

Positioned at the absolute nadir of every time and space, having "touched the bottom," Su Yu struggled to dive further.

The location pressed down on Su Yu intensely; even with his immense strength, it felt like "struggling to breathe."

And this was still shielded by the Transcendence Domain—if he dropped it, Su Yu figured assimilation by the ambient forces would claim him instantly, morphing him into something indefinable.

No positives there.

What's more, Su Yu detected the ambient surroundings relentlessly gnawing at his Transcendence Domain.

Should erosion complete and the Transcendence Domain vanish, the outcome speaks for itself.

Thankfully, inside Su Yu's mind, myriad living civilizations offered ceaseless fervent prayers, supplying him with transcendent energy to uphold the Transcendence Domain's integrity.

That allowed Su Yu the leisure to methodically examine his environs and assess the circumstances.

"Looks like this realm is utterly inhospitable to life; sure, I endure here, but solely through the Transcendence Domain, with no way out."

"Am I stuck here forever?"

Su Yu mulled over it quietly.

True, he had shaken off the "above" entity's scrutiny, but he reckoned surfacing would bring instant re-targeting.

That Great Entity willing to doom the whole Primordial Universe meant simple evasion wouldn't cut it.

So now, Su Yu racked his brain for a total escape from pursuit.

Best case, Su Yu would transcend once more, boosting his "height" to breach the Infinite Universe housing the Great Entity.

Su Yu dubbed this scheme "Ascension," originally intending the Transcendence Domain to propel him "up" into the Infinite Universe.

There, he'd share space-time with the Great Entity, standing as peers.

Beyond that, the Transcendence Domain let Su Yu compel a surge past present spatial heights.

He might even climb beyond that Great Entity.

Then, victory or not against it, Su Yu could probably shake the tracking.

Yet the full-level Core Specialization bypassed strengthening Su Yu’s Transcendence Domain, veering toward "diving down."

Far from rising, his height sank lower.

This wrecked Su Yu’s prior strategy.

Still, Su Yu refused to quit, noting the Profession Panel's wording on "Deep Diving Realm": "achieving transcendence from a different perspective."

Put differently, Su Yu's present "deep diving state" was, at its core, transcendence viewed another way.

Yet regardless of sensations, it all felt like "descent," devoid of any transcendent vibe.

Utterly baffling.

Imagine a diver plunging oceanward while insisting it's soaring—who'd buy that?

Su Yu stayed calm, pondering and sensing deeply.

After what felt like ages, inspiration struck Su Yu.

"This notion of ’ascending’ versus ’diving’—who sets the up-down divide? How's it even set?"

Planets use gravity to mark up from down—makes sense.

But cosmic voids lack any up-down notion.

Now, voids and space-time alike had vanished.

Still, an uncharted "up" versus "down" lingered—its origin?

"Maybe up and down don't exist whatsoever."

This thought sparked Su Yu's epiphany.

He reignited the "Deep Diving Realm," forcing "downward" motion.

Though already at the bottom with no further descent possible, Su Yu ignored it, surging the power wildly.

After some indeterminate span, Su Yu's Transcendence Domain shuddered fiercely, like smashing a hidden barrier.

The obstructing "bottom" burst apart abruptly, letting Su Yu resume "diving down."

Despite the downward dive, Su Yu perceived a rapid "ascent."

His space-time altitude surged upward fast, eclipsing prior heights quickly, climbing ever loftier, until...

Su Yu's gaze flared bright; an immense, matchless realm unfurled ahead.

"Did I make it? Have I at last attained the genuine... Infinite Universe?!"
