Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

The sudden female voice didn't startle Miss Snow; she merely tilted her head in confusion, looking around at the empty space...

“…”

The owner of the voice seemed to be taken aback by the blonde girl's focus—and then a beautiful girl with black hair, heterochromatic blue and red eyes, and heavy dark circles appeared in front of Miss Snow.

".....???"

Upon seeing this look, Miss Snow immediately fell silent...

"Ling Yi Niang?"

"...What's that? Is that what you called me, guest?"

The "Ling Yi Niang" in front of him tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly understood—

"However, it is indeed a troublesome thing not having a name for guests to address me... If you think this name is appropriate, please use it."

Ling Yiniang nodded, which was an acceptance of the title.

"Emmm...so, what do you do for a living, sir? What's wrong with bringing me here?"

After a moment of contemplation, Miss Snow posed a question to Ling Yiniang in front of her...

"Hmm... I should be asking you this question, guest... It's quite impolite of a supreme being from another world to barge into someone else's territory without even a greeting, isn't it?"

"...I see. So, you mean you are the supreme being of this world, or rather, of this world system?"

From Ling Yiniang's words, Miss Snow quickly deduced the true identity of the young lady in front of her...

"That's right, Desu~"

Lingyi nodded.

"So, guest from another world, what is your reason for trespassing into my world? And your friends seem to be in a bit of a hurry."

“Emmm...it's like this...I don't know the flow of time here, but a little girl disappeared a day ago on our side—according to the records, she used a stargate used for traveling through the multiverse.”

"The coordinates we left point to the world region where you are, Lingyi... and then we came after you."

Miss Snow shrugged and explained to Ling Yiniang in front of her—

"After all, the former is probably only a year old at most... It wouldn't be good if it caused trouble in another world..."

“…”

Upon hearing Snow's explanation, Ling Yiniang's expression suddenly fell...

"Um... Lingyi, what's wrong?"

"Oh no! I don't want to work overtime writing the script!!!"

"???"

Completely bewildered by the inexplicable reply, Miss Snow had three question marks popping up above her head in a very vivid way.

Chapter 560 You're awake! Your "outline" has been torn up by Shi Bao!

"Um... Miss Lingyi... could you explain what 'I don't want to work overtime writing storylines' means?"

Completely bewildered by the black-haired girl's reaction, Miss Snow poked Ling Yiniang, who was radiating a low-pressure aura, with her finger, trying to bring the latter back to the present.

"Hello? Hello...?!"

Seeing that Ling Yiniang was unresponsive after poking her for a long time, Snow immediately grabbed her body and shook her vigorously.

"Ugh—Sir, stop shaking, I'm going to throw up!"

Dizzy and disoriented from being shaken, Ling Yiniang shouted at the culprit, causing Miss Snow to stop her wicked hands...

"So, Miss Landlord, could you explain what it means to not want to work overtime writing plots?"

Seeing Ling Yiniang regain her senses and face reality, Miss Snow once again posed her question...

"Well...we're different from you guys—"

"You supreme beings with a multiverse background generally don't concern yourselves with the specific development and settings of a single world, right? After all, you can't manage it all."

"Hmm...more or less?"

Snow thought for a moment and gave Ling Yiniang a somewhat affirmative answer.

"At most, I'm concerned with the world around which I made my fortune, or the world that interests me."

"Hmm... I guessed right—"

"When in doubt, quantum mechanics; when explanations fail, time travel; when imagination runs dry, parallel universes; when style clashes, virtual worlds; when color schemes are unclear, cyberpunk; when visuals are outdated, go for retro; when things are ambiguous, pay homage to Cthulhu..."

"The gods of your multiverses generally quite like this explanation..."

Ling Yiniang nodded, a hint of envy in her expression...

"Um...so is there anything wrong with this explanation?"

The blonde girl tilted her head, somewhat puzzled...

"Of course not—who doesn't like to be lazy?"

Ling Yiniang snorted, then her expression changed—

"However, we Supreme beings, who primarily work around a single world, are quite different from you..."

"Although we sometimes come up with settings like multiple universes, our main work revolves around a central world, and the other universes are all derivatives created to serve this central world."

"So compared to you who let your pets grow wild and then declare it a parallel world if they go astray, we place more emphasis on the concept of 'story'."

You should understand what I mean, right?

Ling Yiniang tilted her head and looked at Miss Snow in front of her.

"Ah... I roughly understand. You'll be focusing more on the plot and planning the 'destiny' itself... right?"

Snow nodded, awaiting Lingyi's further explanation.

"That's right, we will plan the direction of the story in detail. I guess, even if you are supervising a single world, as long as the general direction is not off, you won't interfere?"

"That's right, the general direction is correct, but the details don't matter at all—I'm not his mother, constantly fussing over him and nitpicking..."

Miss Snow's words were perfectly reasonable. If Kiana and the others were here, they might immediately doubt the reliability of this goddess.

"We're different; we focus on the process and fate of each character—"

"Mmm... I understand, the difference between the plot serving the characters and the characters serving the plot."

"So, your guest from another world wandered into the 'outline' I had already planned, causing a fatal bug in the story..."

"And you overslept and didn't even notice one of our kids had snuck in? If I hadn't driven in in a boat, you'd still be completely unaware?"

The blonde girl stroked her chin, bringing an end to the ordeal of the woman named Lingyi in front of her—

[Are you there? Your outline is great, let me add a few details.jpg]

"Almost... Oh right, and your ship, it's such a huge ship, how am I supposed to make up a story about it?!"

Seemingly reminded by Snow, Lingyi realized that this guest had brought a ridiculously huge starship...

"Aliens, they just look a bit like the humans in your story..."

Snow lowered his head and replied without hesitation.

"My alien planet is full of Honkai creatures!? And there's a huge ray too—"

"Then let's use the otherworldly beings as a premise—a classic and timeless concept."

"A child who ran away from home, and the search party chased after the child to a high-tech civilization in another world. With the help of the protagonists, the parents in the other world quickly found the runaway child."

After a moment's thought, Miss Snow offered another suggestion.

"...We call this kind of storyline an event storyline, and we can call this kind of otherworldly setting a collaboration. And I'm thinking that Lingyi-niang, your world should already have quite a few visitors from other worlds, right?"

"What tactical dolls, magical girls, ultimate geniuses—"

"Yes, there is, but what does that have to do with me not wanting to write or arrange the plot?"

Ling Yiniang slumped dejectedly on a sofa that appeared out of nowhere, looking like a complete wreck.

"Then I'll do it? Anyway, these street-smart Herrschers are from our area..."

Looking at the lazy "screenwriter" Ling Yiniang, Snow thought for a moment and made a suggestion....

"Well, you're not... not incapable, are you, sir?"

"Anyway, crossover storylines are often left to the imagination... and quite a few Supreme Beings like us will personally get involved..."

Lingyi, sprawled on the sofa, glanced at Snow beside her and nodded, tacitly agreeing to the latter's suggestion.

"Get involved yourself...like what?"

Upon hearing Lingyi's explanation, Snow tilted his head in confusion.

"For example, that pink-haired, round-faced magical girl—have you ever seen such a huge circular principle?"

"They put a pink-haired girl on my face and then jumped onto it! Do you know how traumatized I am?!"

"...Sounds alright?"

Snow thought for a moment and offered an assessment—the blonde girl's impression of pink hair, limited to Alicia and Sakura, seems to lack understanding of the concept that pink is often masked by darkness...

"Not bad? Then I'll try another one—have you ever seen a Kabbalah Tree of Life that big, similar to yours...?"

"...Ahem, let's change the subject, let's change the subject—"

Looking at the battle-hardened and knowledgeable Miss Ling Yiniang in front of her, the blonde girl immediately chose to back down.

“Since you don’t want to make it up, then I’ll do it—but tell me where that unlucky kid wandered off to.”

Snow shrugged and looked at Lingyi.

"Let me see..."

“…”

"Um, Miss Snow, right...?"

"right?"
