[Act Nine: ]

[After Little Magpie left, the village was abandoned.]

[Siyi stayed in the village alone for a long time... until the end of the Independent War, until all the surrounding villages disappeared, until the arrival of the Third Epoch...]

[From time to time, she returned to the white space, using a feather pen to construct... starting with the first brick of the Floating City, meticulously describing its shape and size... then writing about the first Floating City house, the first Floating City person... outer city, Inner City, Mechanical Mother Goddess, researchers in white coats...]

[She was a mechanical body and could live for a very long time.]

[Until one day in the Third Epoch, perhaps thousands of years had passed, she finally wrote out this world—the world named [Daylight Floating City].]

[Every person here bears her written traces, every brick here has her descriptions.]

[This is—the world she wrote out.]

[But her Genesis Power was far inferior to Sique's, she could not replicate this world into reality, the Floating City could only stay within the paper.]

[She was bound by the identity of the supreme lord of the Floating City, closely connected to the Floating City, unable to leave it.]

["Brother... where are you now? Did you break the audit? Did you kill the World Tree? When will you come back?" She didn't know what the world outside the paper had become, perhaps the Royal City had already turned to ashes over thousands and thousands of years.]

[But he promised, he would come back.]

[As the female protagonist, she experienced the same story over and over again. She was kidnapped by neighbors, witnessed the death of the mechanical mother goddess, and ultimately she was sacrificed as a breeding machine... each time the story ended, she opened the book once more to let the story begin anew.]

[She was afraid that if she didn't do this, she would be driven insane by endless solitude. Because the plot of the Floating City was only so long, once it reached the end, the world would turn into empty white space, and all she would see was pure white space.]

[Only by reopening the story could she again become the slum girl Siyi and live as the female protagonist.]

[Until that day—]

...

A white-haired, red-eyed girl in a Lolita skirt set foot in this Floating City.

Siyi had just been through the climax of the story. She witnessed the fall of the mechanical mother goddess and was about to numbingly walk towards the altar to complete this reenactment of the story when she discovered this unfamiliar girl.

"Hello, supreme lord of [Daylight Floating City]." The white-haired, red-eyed girl smiled, "I'm sorry for intruding, my name is Boss Tu."

"Who are you? This is my story! I've never written about you!" Siyi felt flustered. Everything in this world was written by her own hand, but she had never written about such a girl!

"I come from the world outside the book," Boss Tu said.

Siyi grabbed Boss Tu's collar: "You come from outside? What is the outside like now?"

"Oh... A very powerful Creator has appeared in Luowasha, named Sique Olivius, I'm guessing he's your brother." Boss Tu giggled and said, "Do you want to leave?"

"Yes." Siyi agreed without hesitation. She had been trapped in this story for too long. At first, she felt very happy being the only creator in this world. But gradually she realized it was an endless cage.

The story was only so long; once it reached the end, there was nothing. If she didn't want to stare blankly at the emptiness, she could only reopen the book for the story to start over.

She was already numb.

"I'll tell you what to do, girl! I have a wonderful plan right now. I want to gather the best stories in the world and replicate them into a game, independent of Luowasha. I've named it the 'Disciple Game.'" Boss Tu wiggled around, the rabbit ears on her head swinging back and forth, "I think the story of your [Daylight Floating City] is pretty good! I want to gather it into my game as the second instance. At the same time, I invite you to join my game construction plan as one of the organizers, how about it?"

Siyi listened in bewilderment, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Boss Tu laughed adorably, "You can think of it as a game recruiting scripts! And I'm interested in your script!"

Siyi vaguely understood a bit.

Boss Tu said, "You don't need to understand how the game is constructed, that's someone's little secret. Just say, do you want to join my game production team?"

Siyi curiously asked, "If I join you, can I return to Luowasha?"

Boss Tu nodded, "Of course! But it requires waiting for a while. Once I collect ten interesting stories and turn them into ten instances, our game will officially start running. Once Daylight Floating City is cleared by players, you can return to Luowasha!"

Siyi asked, "Besides me, are there other organizers?"

Boss Tu nodded, "Of course! I will invite every supreme lord of a story to join my game production team. It is expected there will be twelve organizers, besides the ten story owners, there's me and my true friend."

Siyi asked, "Why are you making this game?"

Boss Tu wiggled her skirt shyly, "I want to make a bootleg game to kick the original out! The original game is a big baddie, I don't allow it to exist!"

Siyi opened her mouth wide, "How will you achieve that?"

Boss Tu stretched out her hands, her palms sprouting white fluffy fur, "Want to know? Then join me, girl."

Siyi's heart was in violent turmoil.

Her intuition told her this was her only chance to escape the shackles, she should leave, she needed to find Little Magpie.

But by joining this absurd bootleg game and becoming an organizer... what if she became Little Magpie's enemy?

But she had no other choice. She had waited too long. Moreover, everyone in the Floating City was a living being; they shouldn't remain trapped in the paper. Boss Tu could let them walk into the real world.

"You being able to intrude into my story shows you're not simple." Siyi nodded, "I accept your invitation."

"Hee hee, hee hee." Boss Tu extended her hand to her:

"—Then let's go, girl. Bring your story, let's walk towards a bright and glorious future."

...

[Act Ten: ]

[The girl became one of the organizers of the Disciple Game. Although called an organizer, she actually had nothing to do. She still spent her days within the world of Daylight Floating City.]

[Luckily, Boss Tu kept her promise. Now, Daylight Floating City was no longer a paper world; it had been replicated into reality, floating over Luowasha. When the Disciple Game activates, it will welcome waves of Luowasha players, among whom might be her brother.]

[She longed to jump down from the sky and go to the ground to find Little Magpie. But Boss Tu said that before the Disciple Game began, she couldn't expose the existence of Daylight Floating City. Now, Daylight Floating City was invisible, and it would officially enter Luowasha after being cleared.]

[It turns out, as players progress through the instances, these ten story worlds will blend into Luowasha one after another. How magical.]

[Before that, she could only wait for the Disciple Game to begin.]

[It was said that her brother would also participate in the Disciple Game as a player. She kept checking Daylight Floating City repeatedly: the fluidity of the plot, the logic behind the characters... whenever she grew bored and numb, she would pick up the Star Necklace and rub it.]

[—Little Magpie, Little Magpie, the Little Magpie blessed by Spiritual Energy, the Little Magpie eating wheat.]

[The sunshine, the spring breeze.]

[Please come soon.]

...

On this day, Siyi participated in a meeting of the organizers of the Disciple Game.

Beneath the vast, boundless sky was a high platform resembling an Ancient Greek debate arena, where ivory-white buildings and fragmented sculptures stood side by side.

The white marble columns shimmered with a golden light, each column showcasing the simplicity and strength of the Doric order, a perfect blend of architectural art and some sort of free faith.

Twelve white pillars floated high up, and she was standing on one of them.

"Only three people?" Siyi glanced at the other white pillars; present were only her, the Eleventh Rank, the Second Rank Boss Rabbit, and the Tenth Rank.

"The game is about to start, and everyone is busy." said the Tenth Rank.

Siyi saw the appearance of the Tenth Rank — long black hair like a waterfall, eyes like black onyx, a cream lace long dress tinged with red and blue, akin to Alice from a stage play. What kind of world did this girl envision? Her outfit was so fantastically beautiful; was it a fairy tale?

Siyi had always felt somewhat inferior because she knew that even though the story of the Daylight Floating City was written by her stroke by stroke, the inspiration was not hers but was fed to her day and night by Little Si Que.

Without Little Si Que, she would be unable to write such a complete story nor catch Boss Rabbit's attention. So, compared to the other nine genuine story creators, she felt inferior.

"Hello." The Tenth Rank nodded to her.

"Hello to you..." Siyi nodded.

"I've always been puzzled..." The Tenth Rank lowered her head. "Can we really write an entire world out of thin air just with our Genesis Power?"

Boss Rabbit said with a smile: "In fact, the essence of a creator isn't to create out of nothing. It's to enhance one's spirituality and perception. In the vast expanse of time and space, when you seem to realize something, it actually means you've perceived certain real things, and through the tip of your pen, you connect with these things, presenting them before you. At the same time, you can also use your Genesis Power, depending on its strength, to exert your subjective initiative and slightly revise this world."

"Hmm." The Tenth Rank nodded: "I see, we're not gods but connectors."

"Of course, but if powerful enough... like Si Que, he can completely construct the world with the pen, create out of nothing." Boss Rabbit said: "It just depends on whether your strength is strong enough, whether your positional rank is high enough."

"Boss Rabbit, your ambition is to become high-dimensional, isn't it?" The Tenth Rank opened her feathered fan, gently covering her eyes with soft white feathers: "I heard the situation from the First Rank about the organizers in the World Game; they are also twelve ranks, in a similar Ancient Greek setting. You are so painstakingly replicating the official game, it seems you want to replace it. But, unfortunately, we can't compare to the twelve high dimensions of the World Game. You're just a white-haired, red-eyed rabbit and not a real high-dimensional Boss Rabbit. What a clumsy imitation... ha, you even reverse Boss Rabbit's name as your own."

Boss Rabbit shrugged: "Shen Xue, I appreciate your spot-on words."

Shen Xue.

Siyi remembered... So that's the name of the Tenth Rank.

...

After the meeting ended, Siyi continued to wait.

"Little Magpie, hurry up... I'm waiting for you..."

Until—

On this day when the second instance of the Disciple Game was activated, tens of millions of players swarmed into her world.

In the Floating City, she finally saw the completely different... Little Magpie.

He was draped in white hair, golden eyes, a young boy of fifteen or sixteen, chatting and laughing with Boss Rabbit's chosen protagonist.

—This wasn't her brother.

This wasn't the purple-haired, floating Little Magpie.

This wasn't... the person she was waiting for.

Siyi quietly watched them adventure. She felt her brother probably hadn't come. But it didn't matter; as long as this instance was successfully cleared, she could leave here.

She saw the protagonist designated by Boss Rabbit — Little Su with black hair, black eyes. He knew nothing about the Disciple Game, nor did he know he was the protagonist admired by Boss Rabbit. But it didn't matter; she would secretly guide him to the predestined Floating City ending and complete this story.

...

[Little Nuo wandered around in the room; the girl's house was narrow, the furniture was worn, yet the small cabinet by the bedside was locked.

"What's this?" Little Su crouched down.

Siyi's eyes flashed with panic, she hurriedly walked over, holding a broom: "This... this is my personal item."

Little Su coughed and backed off.]

...

Thankfully... thankfully, Little Su didn't open her cabinet.

The small cabinet by the bedside contained personal items she painstakingly wrote... belonging to Little Magpie, such as a handkerchief, bow tie, cufflinks, all meticulously replicated one-to-one, absolutely not to be seen by outsiders.

Then, she dispatched Little Lu, the Plot Corrector given to her by Boss Rabbit.

According to Boss Rabbit's instructions, anyone interfering with the protagonist must be killed; otherwise, the game may experience errors.

...

["Plot Corrector." Siyi spoke, her gaze passing over Little Su and Little Nuo, fixing on Su Ming'an:

"Kill this person who shouldn't exist in the story for me."]

...

Ah.

That's better.

She quietly watched in the silent Colosseum, the ground covered in bloodstains, the abdomen of the white-haired boy pierced through, organs scattered everywhere...

She knew this white-haired boy was the protagonist of the official game, while she was protecting the protagonist in the bootleg game from interference. But she could only do this.

To compensate this innocent white-haired boy, she asked him if he was willing to co-create the Disciple Game, even though the twelve ranks were already full, a reserve seat could be added.

But what she least expected was—

This boy who bore no resemblance to Little Magpie...

He suddenly pulled out,

the purplish-gold—

the feather pen that belonged to Little Magpie,

having the authority to rewrite the Floating City Supreme Lord's destiny—

feather pen.
