Then, she noticed that Xia Ling suddenly moved a little closer.

Then, the nostrils flared slightly.

Xia Ling: Sniff...

"This feeling..." Xia Ling leaned back strategically and suddenly jumped away from Elysia: "No, you're not Elysia!"

"Eh... Eh?!"

"Elysia" was stunned by this sudden questioning.

"Xia Ling, what are you talking about? I am clearly Elysia. Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long that you've forgotten how I feel?"

"Elysia" opened her arms. "How about I give you a hug?"

Xia Ling shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, you're definitely not Elysia... I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but I've discovered the truth!"

"You are the Herrscher of Corruption that I brought back from the Honkai Will of Honkai, right!"

"Ugh, I've been discovered after all..."

"Elysia" suddenly became dejected, looking at a certain direction in the reception room with a wronged expression.

"Alright, alright, Miss Xia Ling, please stop Little E."

Emerging from the corner was Eden, who covered her mouth and chuckled softly, and... behind her, Elysia, who was laughing so hard she was doubled over.

"As expected..." Xia Ling had a "I knew it" expression.

"Elysia, this must have been your idea..."

"Uh-huh?"

Elysia, hands on her hips, asked, "So, you've passed the test this time?"

"So what kind of test did you pass? How did you become a riddle teller too!"

"Besides..."

Xia Ling looked at Little E with disbelief.

"I was only gone for ten days or so, and the little guy I brought back has already turned into this?"

"That's all thanks to Elysia's guidance."

Eden patted Little E's head, stroking the girl's fur—whose color had been changed back but whose appearance remained exactly the same as Elysia's— and said, "Don't be sad. I told you long ago, Miss Xia Ling couldn't possibly be fooled by you..."

Looking at this Faded Miss Fairy looked exactly like the one in the original work, but was exceptionally well-behaved, Xia Ling gasped.

Good news! It seems that the crisis of erosion in the original work has indeed been resolved by Elysia.

The bad news is that now, there are two little imps who, like Elysia, love to play pranks.

The worse news was that Xia Ling was unaware that although the Little E seemed harmless and clingy, it was only because she and Xia Ling were not yet familiar with each other...

Once she gets to know Xia Ling's personality, the mindset that Elysia unintentionally left in the body—the desire to "bully" Xia Ling —might begin to manifest...

Chapter Forty-Six: Memory of Light- Upon Reading, One Exclaimed, "The Chosen One of Memories!"

A moment later.

On the sofa in the Elysian Realm Clubhouse, Xia Ling sat upright with an unnatural expression. To her left, Elysia smiled and held one of her arms, while her right arm was occupied by the somewhat reserved Little E.

She was reserved because she and Xia Ling weren't that familiar with each other yet, but at Elysia's urging, she mustered up her courage, followed her heart, and hugged Xia Ling's other side.

As for the other side? The other side is Eden, watching the show.

As a superstar from Previous Civilization era, Eden naturally possessed excellent facial expression management skills, but... the expression Xia Ling, sitting opposite her at this moment, revealed was so compelling that Eden couldn't help but smile.

She now understood why Elysia liked Xia Ling so much; the child... was indeed very cute.

"So... how exactly did you manage to train Little E to be like this in just over ten days?!"

"Isn't it good? Miss Xia Ling, Little E is a very well-behaved child."

Eden took a sip, his gaze towards Little E filled with... well, kindness.

After all, strictly speaking, this is a child she has watched grow up, even though it's only been a little over ten days.

Thinking back to when Little E first transformed into Elysia, her bewildered appearance gave Eden a real thrill... Elysia, on the other hand, would never normally show such a naive side.

"Good boy, good boy?"

Xia Ling recalled Kevin's weary appearance outside the Elysian Realm, and her tone was full of doubt.

"If it weren't for Elysia's teasing, Little E would be quite well-behaved."

Eden gave a fairly apt answer.

"Yes, that's right. Elysia said Kevin would be happy if she did that." Little E nodded in agreement.

"So what did you do to Kevin?"

"It's roughly like..." Little E said casually, "She went out in Elysia's form and exchanged a few words with Kevin?"

"Hiss..."

Xia Ling gasped. She could already imagine Kevin's reaction when he discovered a Herrscher of Corruption emerging from the Elysian Realm with Elysia's face on its back... No wonder he looked so exhausted.

"You really dare to do that!"

"Huh? Is there a problem?" Little E was completely unaware of the seriousness of the issue. "Elysia is definitely right!"

I've been a die-hard fan of Elysia since birth... Looking at Little E's unwavering expression, Xia Ling knew that this child was probably beyond saving.

The last person who couldn't resist Elysia... yes, it was herself, who was already being manipulated by Elysia at any time and place.

"My dear Eden ~ How can you put all the blame on the lovely Miss Fairy?"

Elysia pouted in dissatisfaction. "You seemed to enjoy watching it too!"

"So, it turns out that only Little E was injured?" Xia Ling looked helplessly at Little E, who was completely clueless.

"Speaking of which... Little E calls Elysia, I thought Elysia would ask Little E to call her by a more distinctive name."

"For example, Elysia?" Eden laughed. "That was really Elysia's initial plan."

"However, since Little E's perception of Elysia's identity was a bit strange, she initially seemed to regard Elysia as her mother... so after a compromise, she simply let Little E call her by her name."

"After all, being called 'Mom' is a bit too early for a cute girl... But it's a real shame that I didn't get to let Little E call me 'Little Sister Elysia'."

For the first time, a troubled look appeared on Elysia's face.

"But Elysia is Elysia ..." Little E tilted her head in confusion.

Although Xiao Shi had been taught quite well by Elysia, Xia Ling could still clearly sense that Little E still lacked some understanding of emotions.

"However, Little E is quite clingy to you. She was quite shy when she first entered Elysian Realm, and she was so scared when she first met Chijie that she crawled into Elysia's body and dared not come out."

Seeing Little E clinging to Xia Ling and unwilling to let go, Eden said with some surprise.

"After all, I was the one who picked her up... Maybe she left her mark on me back then."

Xia Ling scratched her head, completely unaware of who Little E's feelings for her came from, and even less aware that these feelings contained a considerable amount of desire to bully her.

"In short, I told you that I think it's fine to hand Little E over to you. Besides, Little E also contributed a considerable amount of effort to the construction of that pigeon-like Elysian Realm that you mentioned, which is connected to the outside world."

Elysia said smugly, her expression saying, "Praise me!"

"Okay, okay, Elysia is the best..." As she spoke, Xia Ling noticed Little E's slightly pouting lips and quickly added, "Little E is the same too~"

"Hehe..." Seeing Xia Ling looking left and right, seemingly unable to cope, Eden laughed even more heartily.

Feeling that she was about to become a comedic character if things continued this way, Xia Ling quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"However, although the basic framework has been built, as far as I know, you haven't started filling in the storylines and content yet, Elysia."

"Well, after all, it involves everyone's memories, so I can't make the decision on my own."

Elysia nodded. Although everyone would agree to this if she just said a word, she still wanted to leave the process to Xia Ling to complete herself.

"Xia Ling entered Elysian Realm with her own body this time, was it also for this reason?"

"That's right."

Xia Ling said seriously, "According to Kevin's request, I need to obtain all the imprints of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers... As for myself... I may need everyone's Memory Plate and some memory data as a reference."

"The imprinting issue is not difficult to resolve. Miss Xia Ling has been in the Elysian Realm for quite some time now, and everyone has basically accepted you... It's just that we couldn't engrave it on you before because of your identity as a memory body."

Eden swirled his wine glass slightly and pondered, "As for memories... you do need to tell everyone about this. Although people don't mind the trial participants prying into their past, memories are, after all, a private matter."

"Of course I understand that." Xia Ling nodded hurriedly. "Therefore, I will not retrieve those particularly private memories... The greatest purpose of this new Elysian Realm is to let everyone understand the past of the Previous Civilization and the Honkai."

"Some things can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand... Relying on others' accounts is not the most effective way to grasp their weight."

Chapter 47 Little E: I am Fictional Historian, this is the construction of history.

"Have you experienced it firsthand...?"

Eden's gaze softened. "As expected of Miss Xia Ling, I seem to have heard the same words from someone else."

"Are we telepathically connected?"

Elysia hugged Xia Ling even tighter, so much so that Xia Ling could clearly feel her arm sinking into a soft, gentle embrace.

"Well..."

Xia Ling then realized that her thoughts seemed to coincide with what Elysia had said in the original work... although her original intention was really just to make the servants better.

"However, although Elysia told me some things before, I'm still quite curious..." Eden asked doubtfully, "Miss Xia Ling, how do you plan to tell so many stories of the Previous Civilization in a linear way?"

"Well..."

Xia Ling thought for a moment and said, "According to my current thinking, this rogue version of the Elysian Realm will definitely not be finished after one round. In the next two to three months, this will be their main training task."

"With time as a foundation, a large number of stories can be fragmented into events and stuffed into the nodes of the roguelike game. As for the ratio of battles to events... it's probably about 50/50."

"Then use the points earned from each level to unlock some important and fixed memories, namely the contents of the Memory Plate."

"As for the story of the levels themselves... cough cough, for this roguelike game, I've prepared a total of five endings, you know?"

"Five... endings?"

Eden tilted her head. From her perspective, there were many events in the Previous Civilization era that were both epic and unforgettable. She was very curious about how Xia Ling had chosen five from these events.

"Heh heh... Of these five endings, one is taken from a Previous Civilization, the rest are all 'fictional' futures~"

Xia Ling looked confident and assured.

After all, the Elysian Realm in her previous life's game had already provided her with three endings...

The first ending uses Elysia's test as the finale, the Ending Two involves entering Mobius's trap, and as for the third ending... well, it's the false truth obtained from Aponia.

"Elysia mentioned to me before that Miss Xia Ling might need this." Eden took out a golden crystal flower. "Presumably... the past sealed within is the final hidden ending you prepared for the current civilization."

"It is indeed a hidden ending, but..." Xia Ling's lips curled into an eager smile, "It's not the final one."

"That banquet in history is merely a hidden Ending 4..."

"As for the last hidden ending... hehe, that's a secret~"

"It seems that even my curiosity is being piqued by Miss Xia Ling."

Seeing Xia Ling and Elysia's identical mischievous smiles, Eden shook his head helplessly.

"Well, anticipation is part of the artistic experience... But if you finish writing the script, remember to let me see it!"

"I'm also very curious about what kind of fate awaits those who are scheduled after that the Last Banquet."

"Don't worry, the bag will look nice."

Xia Ling gave a thumbs up and said confidently.

Because... she plans to use the Everlasting Paradise arc from the original work as a hidden Ending 5.

In my past life, I broke through the defenses of countless people with my shattered ice and group photos... Hehehe...

Xia Ling felt that she could barely suppress her smile!

However, in this world where none of that happened, my actions... could probably be considered a kind of Fictional Historian?

After all, four of the five endings involve situations that never happened in this lifetime... making it a truly unofficial Alternate History.
