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 was looking at Abbess Zhou Yue with a curious and eager expression. He also seemed to want to carry a bottle of talisman water, an Eight Trigrams Mirror, and a peach wood sword to fight the Superior Heartless in an intense tussle.

This was a term that the Old Task Force had conveniently grasped when gathering information regarding the Eternal Time Sect.

However, Shang Jianyao quickly retracted his gaze and walked to the surveillance camera that had made a sound. He spoke as if he had finally seen a fellow villager from his hometown. "You finally spoke! I thought you were dead; I was wondering if I should hold a funeral for you and prepare for the seventh day of your demise…"

The surveillance camera remained silent and didn't respond.

Shang Jianyao went straight to the point. "Quick, tell Genava that the target has gone down the mountain."
