Ice and snow sealed away civilization, and storms extinguished steam—this was the post-Victorian era when a prosperous steam-powered civilization was destroyed by the harsh cold.
As a bishop banished to the frigid north by a mere decree, he fights for lost power, forging a fortress of faith amidst blizzards and apocalypse, guiding lost sheep through mercury and steam.
“I am not a shepherd, I am just a psychoanalyst who couldn’t find a job and was looking for another one.” — Bishop of the St. Lucia Winter Cathedral, Diocese of Speyside, the prayer master of the seven northern cities, the gatekeeper of Eden, the enemy of the frost giants, the remnant of the golden age, the keeper of the secrets of the old civilization, the spiritual mentor and psychiatrist of legendary knights, archmages, kings, popes, the poor, and wanderers. Siren Dellandt said this.
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.
When all living things are chess pieces of the Heavenly Dao, I, Jiang Chen, am the one who overturns the chessboard! As a blood sacrifice to the "Son of Destiny," I tore apart his pre-written script with my bare hands, watched him plummet from the clouds, his foundation shattered, and then... devoured all of his supreme destiny! In that moment, I understood that I wasn't without destiny, but rather that I fed on it—an enemy of the Heavenly Dao!
This is a hunt for "Destiny".
Whether it's the reborn Immortal Emperor, the Demon Lord with a blood feud, or the good-for-nothing with incredible luck, in my eyes, they're all mere prey bound by the "script." Every time you interfere with their crucial plot, it triggers the most terrifying "fate backlash," causing their lives to collapse instantly, their cultivation to be completely lost, and them to become dust in the world.
And their collapsed and dissipated majestic destiny will become my food, allowing me to rise quietly!
[Ding! Successfully deprived the Destiny Child of the "Eye of Insight"!]
[Ding! Successfully devoured the Reborn Demon Lord's "Immortal Demon Bone"!]
[Ding! Successfully usurped the "Shennong Ding Soul" of the Dan Dao Emperor! ]
The Heavenly Dao sees me as an "anomaly" that must be wiped out, and sends out "fate fixers" to hunt me down endlessly, manipulate the fate of mortals, and weave "accidents" to encircle and suppress me.
But they don’t understand that when the prey begins to resist the hunter, the greatest feast in the world has just begun!
I will devour all destinies, usurp the supreme heavenly way, and let the heavens bear witness - the script you wrote is nothing but my hunting menu, and the world you control will eventually welcome its true master!
On that day, the fog blocked everything.
On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship.
On that day, he stepped through the thick fog and confronted a completely subverted and fragmented world— the old order had vanished, strange phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society, and isolated island city-states and fleets of ships challenged the sea that had become the last ember of lights for the civilized world. All of this while the shadows of the old days were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour this world that was about to die.
But for the new captain of the ghost ship Vanished, there was only one question he had to consider first — Who knows how to drive this ship?!
I have traveled through time, please speak for me!
As soon as Shen Xiu squatted down, he turned into a tree in the dark fairy tale multiverse.
Speak up! You must speak up!
Here, there is a weird fairy tale world
When the alarm clock rings, the lumberjack of Gouxiongling will walk out of his cabin and chop down trees with his electric saw. Every tree seems to bleed, but who knows if it is a tree?
The sheepless ghost village on the grassland is strangely filled with sheep every night, but are there really sheep under the sheepskin?
The bloody Little Red Riding Hood in the fairytale town took off the Little Red Riding Hood. Was it the hat that was taken off, or was it the…
There was a cooking competition in the palace, but there wasn't a single chef to be seen. All that was left was the steaming hot pot and the aroma of meat...
In the endless underwater world, a headless starfish always appears silently, and countless eyeballs always surface at night...
Every distorted dark fairy tale world makes people feel desperate
Fortunately, after everyone traveled through time, everyone was able to gain an ability.
And Shen Xiu's ability is called [Evil God Fabrication]!
"Unknown liquid + own bark + Bear Ridge mud = filthy earth spirit"
"Hybrid Monster: Super Invincible Monster's Tentacles + Twisted Monster's Head + Your Own Hand = The Twisted Hand of All Things"
"Broken goat horn + gray wolf skin + strange ghost money = the ghost two-headed demon"
"Owl's Wing Feather + Genius Wei's Eyeball + Mother Bear's Eyeball + Contaminated Chain = Angel's Eye"
When countless weird things are created by him, he becomes the evil god!
"Dark fairy tale? Can it be darker than me?"
"The Nameless One! The One to whom all things are one! Blind and foolish God! Come forth!"

When Fang Wuwei woke up, he saw a girl with an eye patch in front of him committing Chuunibyou in public, and checked a noisy system in his mind. Fang Wuwei stopped thinking.
"I am the lottery system of the universe, and now I belong to you, master."
"What should I do?"
"In a distant parallel universe..."
"Briefly, introduce it in 20 words."
"I will assist you in dealing with the time travelers and the remnants of the main god space... Your predecessors have already destroyed the main god space, you just need to clean up their messes, do you understand?"
Main world: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

Lu Yang traveled through the world of immortal cultivation and became a disciple of the Demon Sect's Chusheng Sect.
Fortunately, he obtained a rare treasure, the [Book of Hundred Lives], which allows him to start a new life after death and start all over again. He can also bring back treasures, cultivation, lifespan from his previous life, and even awaken special talents.
But the number of times is limited, and it is not really immortal.

In the second life, Lu Yang overcame his superiors and killed his senior sister, but could not escape the clutches of his senior brother.
The third life... the fourth life...
It was not until a hundred lives later, when he looked back, that Lu Yang realized that he had become a great master of the magic world, the first saint...
