Compared to the massive flood of memories absorbed earlier through the observation of the myriad worlds, the pressure exerted by the "restored" information was actually not all that great.

The reason for this phenomenon was that the vast majority of Madame Yellow Springs's complete memories were also in an extremely rational mode.

Much of the time, the function of thought was simply and plainly to connect and run through memories from before and after, categorizing them. Yet the reality of worldly affairs was often hidden precisely within a thousand intricate scenes and contexts, and merely the adjustment of sequence and category was enough to explain everything.

This sort of pure, rational contemplation gave order to the memory information—not just a simple chronological flow, but rather, as Yu Ci had just experienced, linked into chains with rigorous structure.

And with such a thought pattern, how could there be any talk of emotion? Even if there were any, it had been worn away in that bizarre "averaging out."

Precisely because of this, the few memories where Madame Yellow Springs experienced emotional fluctuations, aside from her early childhood, all possessed special value and were nodes well worth paying attention to.

Those were often at extremely special, critical moments, or at the most pivotal turning points.
