This is a damn Victorian fantasy novel.

Add a spoonful of steam engines to get that damned tech tree moving! Add a spoonful of love and hate to give everyone a good reason to fight! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters as the main boss… Wait! Bloody hell, I poured too much!

…

Year 931 of the Envirg Calendar.

The city I live in has been named the most advanced city in the West. The main reason? Steam technology, the source of both groundbreaking innovation and utter chaos, has turned the world upside down. It’s undeniable. Yet, despite this, people still flock here in droves. This city always offers a glimmer of hope, whether it’s a lie or an illusion. It’s so close, seemingly within reach, that people are willing to risk everything for it. A city of illusions.

And I am one of those dream chasers.

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.

It's not a system, it's not a saintly woman, it's not a heroine, and it won't be invincible right from the start.

This is a story about a young man from the 20th century who accidentally travels to the world of elves and suffers inhuman torture. By chance, he joins Team Rocket and steps into the darkness with his elves, climbing to the top until he pulls down those high-ranking and hypocritical bigwigs from the altar.

A great man once said, "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." Prioritizing planning is the prerequisite for achieving both valuable assets and lucid waters and lush mountains, and it also serves as the top-level design for transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into valuable assets. Over the next fifty years, driven by AI, human science and technology will experience breakneck growth. This will be accompanied by a surge in the amount of potent gases on the Earth's surface, and a precipitous rise in temperature that threatens to destroy modern civilization, drawing the attention of all nations. China was the first to advocate the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and to "build a community with a shared future for mankind," leading to the widely obstructed "Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains" initiative. Cancer has brought Zhang Weilan to the present fifty years, her former life shattered. Faced with the AI-driven concept of "human captivity," she journeys 40 light-years away to pursue the path of sustainable development. Blue skies, white clouds, lush waters and lush mountains... She will journey across the vast uninhabited space, using her delicate hands to recreate the bird-song, blooming home of her memories.
