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.

"Human Awakening." Khal's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like rumbling thunder to Jiang Baimian's ears.

The Eighth Research Institute's scientific focus was actually 'human Awakening!' This answer was truly unexpected to her, but she inexplicably felt that it matched reality and was reasonable.

With the Old World's technological standards of producing Eternals, it was impossible for them not to pay attention to human Awakening—unless the Awakening happened after that disaster.

"You guys have significant achievements in that field?" When Jiang Baimian asked, she realized that she had disguised herself well. Her voice was calm, and her tone was flat as if she was talking about today's weather.

Khal laughed with the same air of arrogance. "Otherwise, how do you think I Awakened?"

Jiang Baimian was just about to ask when Bai Chen eagerly said, "Can an Awakening be guaranteed?"

Khal glanced at her. "There's only a 30% chance of success."
