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.

Old friend… Seventh floor… Long Yuehong immediately noticed two keywords.

The former was said by Du Heng himself, and the latter was conveyed by his gaze and actions.

Apart from the Enlightened on duty on the seventh floor, there were only the monks and Buddha's Nirmanakaya who were in abnormal states.

Upon recalling that Du Heng had claimed to figure out a way to enter the New World with both mind and body—as well as the fact that his actual age was far greater than he looked—Jiang Baimian suspected that his so-called old friend was the Buddha's Nirmanakaya of the Crystal Consciousness Church.

Perhaps it's because his old friend entered the New World that resulted in him clearly not being in the right state that Du Heng decided to seek out a new path… Jiang Baimian nodded gently and smiled. "Are you preparing to leave?"

She didn't ask about his old friend. After all, Zennaga was beside her.
