You mean, on other timelines... / Little Corruption: Kids, this isn't me.

Forgetting her usual ladylike demeanor, she quickly leaned towards Aponia, covered her mouth, and said shyly and coquettishly.

"Aponia, what are you saying? There's a child here!"

Seeing Elysia's embarrassed and annoyed expression, Aponia didn't continue. For her, being able to turn the tables and tease Elysia was already a rare experience.

After all, it was precisely because of Xia Ling's weakness that she and Eden were able to turn the tables on Elysia from time to time, adding a lot of laughter to their daily lives.

However, since Elysia mentioned Little E, it was just what she wanted, so Aponia followed Elysia's lead and turned the topic to Little E, who seemed a little confused.

"Elysia, you're not Little E, how do you know what this child is thinking?"

"Little E? What could Little E be thinking..."

Elysia looked at Little E with a puzzled expression, and Little E returned the puzzled look to her.

"Elysia, she just doesn't know how to distinguish emotions, not that she has no emotions at all."

The thought of the emotions she had felt from the Little E made Aponia want to laugh out loud.

It seems that Xia Ling will be facing a rather interesting life in the near future... I wonder what kind of expression that child will show under the influence of two such feelings.

Thinking about it this way, these Two generations of Origin really do have very distinct characteristics...

"Aponia, you mean...?"

As close friends for many years, Elysia naturally shared a deep understanding with Aponia, and Aponia's several suggestive but unspoken descriptions made her realize something.

However, after only a moment's thought, Elysia regained her initial smile.

"It's okay, it's fine this way, isn't it?"

"After all, Little E is a very good child, and the fact that such a change has occurred proves that I have a good eye for talent, doesn't it?"

Chapter Sixty: You mean, in other timelines...

While Elysia was enduring Aponia's "torture," Xia Ling was having a very pleasant conversation with Su and Kevin.

It can only be said that Kevin is a completely different person with Su and without Su. During this exchange, Xia Ling could clearly feel that Kevin was much more "active".

At least he's not the cold, cryptic riddle-maker he used to be.

Even when she inquired about the two states of Kevin, "Karmic Demon" and "Savior, "Kevin revealed a lot of information to her, which basically verified some of her and Vill-V's guesses.

And the rest...

"Su, could you tell me more about the female version of Su that you met in the Sea of Quantum?"

"And, does she... look something like this?"

Xia Ling projected the appearances of Suo and Vita.

"I didn't expect you to know about this. Did I, the one outside, tell you?"

Feeling Kevin's strange gaze, Su sighed helplessly, inexplicably feeling like he had been caught wearing women's clothing behind his best friend's back.

"That's right. We're likely to have some conflict with this person in the future... so we want to get some information in advance."

Specifically...

Xia Ling described Griseo's situation again.

"Please be sure to take me or Aponia with you then."

After listening to Xia Ling's description, Su said seriously.

"The opponent's strength should not be underestimated. The Eye of Wisdom, in its final form, is not simply about being omniscient and omnipotent..."

"I can do that too; Mental Perception abilities are useless to me anyway."

"Alright, alright, I'll call you all over then. I was planning to let Griseo reunite with you all."

Xia Ling waved her hand and said, "However, that's something for after the Finality. As for now... let's hand over your Memory Plate and Imprint to me first."

"Right now, the most important thing is to help Hiyomaru build the new Elysian Realm."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

With Xia Ling's revisions, the framework and content of this Integrated Strategies version of the Elysian Realm were gradually filled in and completed.

Memories of that banquet, everyone's recollections, and... the first three endings of the three chapters of the Elysian Realm in the original work, which Xia Ling reconstructed based on her memories, were all incorporated into the framework.

"Sister Xia Ling, I have a question."

Looking at the large empty spaces in the Elysian Realm framework, the Erosion Trio—Rin, Hiyomaru, and Little E —all had question marks on their faces.

"Why... did you leave such a large space for that mysterious Ending 5?"

"These gaps in the memory images that need to be filled are already larger than the memory usage of the first four endings combined, right?"

That's natural.

Xia Ling chuckled to herself.

The three chapters of the Elysian Realm were originally a "foreshadowing" that the screenwriter had planned for a long time. Their purpose was to continuously make you vulnerable while letting you understand the process of these thirteen people.

Once the vulnerability debuff is applied, the main event, Everlasting Paradise, will naturally begin.

"Heh heh, you'll find out the answer to that question this afternoon~"

Xia Ling's mischievous smile was almost impossible to hide.

"Why is it in the afternoon?!"

"Because I promised Sister Eden that I would review the draft for her before I filled in the plot, and she would help me fix some parts that might not fit the character of Flame-Chasers."

"So, if everything goes well, you'll be able to see it this afternoon."

"But..." Ling looked conflicted. "Sister Eden has very strict requirements when it comes to literature and art. Sister Xia Ling's first draft is almost never approved on the first try, right?"

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be safe."

Xia Ling waved confidently.

After all, this was a choice made by the Herrschers themselves...

"So..."

In the reception room of the Elysian Realm, Eden's expression began to grow increasingly strange.

Although I haven't seen the specific content yet, Eden can get a general idea of the plot just from Xia Ling's summary of the table of contents.

"You mean... in other timelines...?"

"Little E became the villain, Elysia died immediately, and the remaining Flame-Chasers also died one by one. In the end, Elysia was resurrected and self-destructed with the Elysian Realm and Erosion?"

Xia Ling: Niv nods. gif

"Wow... what a compelling idea."

Eden's expression at this moment was probably shifting between "it might be history" and "but this history is so attractive that I want to see it."

"Wait a moment, let me take a look and then I'll give you my feedback."

In the end, Eden decided to trust Elysia's judgment, since Elysia had already expressed that she had no objection to Xia Ling's storyline.

Then, in the reception room, the famous smile transfer theorem took place.

The smile on Eden's face gradually transferred to Xia Ling's face, and it seemed to be spreading.

Final...

Xia Ling (tilting her head like a pigeon): "Sister Eden, how are you feeling?"

He gently touched the corner of his eye, a complex emotion surging in Eden's golden eyes.

"Please wait a moment... I'd like to watch it again."

After carefully reviewing the script once more, Eden finally regained his composure.

"Very good, Miss Xia Ling... In your script, it seems that everyone made choices that only they would make."

"Even I am the same... I originally thought that Miss Xia Ling didn't know me that well, but I didn't expect that I was the one who was completely seen through."

"However..." Eden hesitated for a moment, "Miss Xia Ling, I have a question."

"This script... can it really be called a script? The descriptions are so realistic that I even have a ridiculous illusion..."

"Sister Eden".

Xia Ling gave a mysterious smile.

"Perhaps the events described in this script did indeed happen in some world, but... for us, it's just a script, right?"

"So that's how it is..."

Although not explicitly stated, Xia Ling's attitude has already confirmed some of Eden's conjectures.

"I understand, Miss Xia Ling."

"You're right, in our world, it's just a script... Elysia is still Elysia, Little E is still Little E ..."

"However... I'm now a little curious about what Little E will think when he sees this script."

Chapter Sixty-One: Little E: Children, This Is Not Me

While Xia Ling was reviewing Eden's manuscript, the three members of the Erosion Trio were having their usual chat.

Of course, Hiyomaru is not served as a dessert.

"Little E, I have something to tell you."

Ling looked around, and after finding no trace of Xia Ling, she leaned close to Little E's ear and whispered something.

"Actually, there are a lot of scenes about you in Sister Xia Ling's Ending 5, right?"

"Zun Du, fake Du?" Little E blinked blankly. "I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me, okay?"

"Why would I lie to you? Trust me, the Herrscher of Corruption doesn't lie to the Herrscher of Corruption."

Ling said confidently, "Actually, this news wasn't told to me by Sister Xia Ling; I just deduced it myself."

"Little E, you should know that when we fill in the data of the Flame-Chasers, we need to leave corresponding space for each person. Since the Herrschers have different abilities, in order to realize the manifestation of their abilities, we must make targeted treatments for these spaces."

"Yes, I understand. The most difficult part is dealing with Sakura-neechan's time-freezing effect..." Little E nodded.

"But you probably don't know that the same characteristic of the 'people's group' applies to us as well."

Ling blinked. "If we are needed to appear in the ending, due to the characteristics of the Corrosion Power, the data space in our nodes will also need to be specially processed."

"I only found out about this after I created a few special nodes related to my sister."

"And in the space that Sister Xia Ling left for the Ending 5..."

"Do you have some private processing space that belongs to me?" Little E asked curiously.

"To be precise, it far exceeds 'something'." Bell held up one finger. "Regarding your special processing traces, the coverage rate of the space reaches over 80%."

"Really?" Little E immediately became happy. "With such a high appearance rate, my role in the plot must be quite significant."

"Okay, so, Little E, just wait for your moment of glory."

So, Little E began to look forward to it.

We must imagine that Little E was happy during this waiting period, at least when Xia Ling returned.

However, this happiness only lasted until she received the script.
