You hesitated for a moment, then felt there was little hope.
[With her hometown completely destroyed, there's really no way Eileen's mental state will improve.]
Even if we use illusion magic, it probably won't work.
She still appears normal, with food and drink, and has even been dragged shopping by some of your acquaintances, but she considers all of this to be fake.
[Because she had experienced too much before—being suddenly rescued, her rescuer berating Bai He in front of her, beating Bai He until he begged for mercy, even to the point of being torn to pieces… she had experienced all of these.]
[There was even a time when she "escaped from hell and killed Bai He," after which she adventured in the boundless void of the illusionary realm, traversing multiple universes, becoming a true immortal, a cosmic lord, and remaining invincible for a hundred million years.]
That time, she truly let her guard down. She became the fully realized Lord of the Universe, seized the authority of the Great Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations, and became one of the nine Supreme Dao Lords. She genuinely believed she had escaped her former hell.
[Until she met the ruler of the Boundless Void Sea in that illusion, the creator of everything above the Nine Great Dao Lords.]
On the supreme throne, Bai He turned around, smiled slightly at her, and with another flick of his finger, sent her plummeting back into the ten thousand purgatory realms.
Yun Shou: "...This is simply unsolvable!"
Bai He has already pushed the limits, and Ellen has experienced the journey from heaven to hell countless times!
Even the brain in a vat isn't this terrifying!
"There's really no way to save her from this situation. The only solution is to brainwash her and seal or alter her memories."
He paced slowly on a small earthen slope outside Xiaoli Village, while Xu Ling'er waited below the slope.
Yun Shou sighed softly, "If you really want to save her, there is only one way."
"Make her never have had that experience, make that thing never happen."
"To eradicate future tragedies...at their source."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll kill Bai He at the start of the next simulation, catching him off guard."
"Hmm...let him have a good time before killing him."
Having completely exhausted all other options, you are utterly powerless to completely save Ellen—that is, to restore her to her former self and make her believe that Bai Ci is dead while retaining all her memories and personality.
[The illusion can no longer fool her, and even Daihito can't wake her up... Just kidding, the pain she's enduring goes far beyond what Daihito can do.]
There's only one way to bring her back to some semblance of normalcy: seal her memories.
The surgery was performed in the Immortal Cloud Realm by the Celestial Queen Kavis, because some of the memories contained content that was too impolite for others to witness.
"It seems that there are principles for reading memories in this universe."
[Kaves used some of the Dao principles there to edit her memories. During the process, as a goddess from the old world and one of the Five Ancient Immortals of Yuantian, she felt nauseous many times. She underwent billions of surgeries before finally erasing the memories that "escaping the predicament was all a scam."]
But the suffering of countless billions of years remains; let's see if she can survive the "first real salvation."
[Eileen believed you, and then she smiled as she committed suicide, finding release.]
She had long been trapped in a state of unbearable suffering, unable to live or die, her only thought being to die quickly. Now that she had been saved—perfect, she could finally die completely.
You: "...Luckily, I used my future-predicting ability to take a look."
[You interrupted this future and, in a new future, chose to seal most of her memories, retaining only the part where she successfully disgusted Bai He. Then you fabricated a story about Bai He destroying Shuangxuetian and throwing her into a closed cosmic prison.]
[This time, there was no memory of her being cruelly treated, only the mental shock of being destroyed by the Frosty Snow Day. She was simply imprisoned for hundreds of years, just a bit lonely, and then you killed Bai He and rescued her.]
The surgery was successful; at least she didn't have suicidal thoughts.
In reality, Ellen returns to the ruins of Frostfall, amidst interstellar dust (this dust actually drifted from other parts of space; the true Frostfall had long since been completely obliterated, leaving no trace of energy or matter).
She was deeply moved and thanked you.
[It fully displays the bearing of someone who was once an empress.]
You accept it with a smile, but deep down you sigh, and your mind goes on a philosophical note.
Is this really her?
Is it the one who retains all her memories, or the one whose spirit was never destroyed?
Did you resurrect the former Ice Queen from her rotting corpse, or did you kill the woman who had suffered so much and then copy and paste her former personality onto her?
Yun Shou: "It reminds me of that multiple-choice question about a slime swallowing its girlfriend."
A slime swallowed your girlfriend and completely transformed into her likeness, possessing all her memories... So, was this slime actually your girlfriend?
However, Ellen was not replaced; her memories were simply sealed away.
Having recovered from the devastation of her homeland's destruction, Ellen bids you farewell, embarking on a journey to grow stronger in this starry sky, now possessing cultivation at the third realm.
[You stated that both sides were enemies of Bai He, thus making them allies. You even went against your conscience by saying that her insults to Bai He provided you with an excellent opportunity for victory.]
Therefore, before parting ways, they gifted him with essential resources and a large amount of other materials.
"Forget it, I won't dwell on it."
After recording Ellen into a higher-level dimension, you watched her retreating figure, then turned and left as well.
[As I said before, you don't know her well, you don't know the woman before she was tortured by Bai He, everything you did was out of sympathy for her tragic situation, and after that, just let her be.]
[On another note, although she fits your aesthetic preferences, and given her sealed memories, she might agree to your request for a "friendly match," you've never even considered it, let alone asked.]
This is too tragic; let's not take advantage of the situation or make things worse.
[In the year 7600, you remembered that friend you used to go to the PC game center with.]
Yun Shou: "Let me translate. PC is an abbreviation for Personal Computer, which refers to a personal computer. PC games refer to games that run on a computer, such as '**' and '***'." (Advertisement space recruitment)
Back when you first stepped out of the starry sky and arrived at your first new map, Tianwu Continent, and met Ning Jun, you weren't even at the 100th level of the Heavenly Realm; you were still a complete noob.
