Cuttlefish That Loves Diving

In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!
Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that's what the doctors said. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that's head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. So is he really crazy? Probably.
He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.
Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.
There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely. 
The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away. 
The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.
There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.
Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That's the New World.

Shang Jianyao briefly recounted his experience on the island and concluded, "There were no difficulties or monsters. Maybe they were hiding to discuss how to surrender decently."

Jiang Baimian ignored Shang Jianyao's last sentence and muttered to herself, "This is indeed strange. What kind of psychological trauma will it be?"

As she spoke, she looked back at Shang Jianyao and suggested, "Give it a few more shots and see if there are any changes."

There was no other solution. Due to the lacking conditions, they could only attempt to gather information.

Long Yuehong—who was beside Shang Jianyao—smiled. "That 'island 'looks like it's used for resting and vacations."

"Probably not. Every 'island' in the Sea of Origins definitely has its meaning." Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong and laughed. "If it were you, I can guess what mentality this 'island' corresponds to and determine what will happen next."

"What is it?" Shang Jianyao was curious.
