Embers Ad Infinitum

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.

Avia wasn't frightened by Shang Jianyao's ghost story. Her expression only changed a few times before she said, "Maybe."

She didn't deny Shang Jianyao's guess and even believed that it was possible.

How could an item deemed abnormally terrifying and dangerous by a big shot like Oray not be special?

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to raise new questions, Avia took the initiative to give a clue. "My grandfather once used this phone to communicate with someone."

"When and who?" Jiang Baimian immediately asked.

Avia revealed a reminiscing expression again. "A year before he became First City's emperor, my father saw him standing by the study window twice, holding this phone and talking to someone. My father asked about it and only got the answer: 'Don't ask again.' Not long after, my grandfather suddenly Awakened. In just a year, he entered the Mind Corridor and found the door to the New World."
