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.

The meditation room where Buddha's Nirmanakaya sleeps… This sentence was like a thunderclap that exploded in the Old Task Force members' ears, leaving them shell-shocked.

Jiang Baimian barely controlled her expression and asked with a smile, "There aren't any Enlightened living on the seventh floor?"

"That's the place where Buddha Subhuti is worshiped, and it's also the place where Buddha's Nirmanakaya sleeps." Although the young monk didn't give a direct answer, his explanation clearly told Jiang Baimian and the others that with the Enlightened's pious hearts toward Buddha, they wouldn't allow themselves to be on equal footing with the Kalendaria.

"Aren't you afraid of thieves sneaking in?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
