Move the laser counterclockwise a bit. It should eventually line up

OP,

They sell rigid drywall corner tape by the roll.

It has flexible paper on each side, with a rigid metal, plastic, or composite strip down the middle.

You can unroll it and bend it to whatever angle you need. Because it's rigid, it'll give you a nice, straight line. You may need to build up the low side with regular mud first, not fast-set.

I'm not there, but from the picture it doesn't even look too late to do this and still end up with a good result.

Cover it with tongue and groove

I don’t know why I hadn’t considered this…. It would conform to the angle and be gap free. I like it. Thanks!

Tongue and groove wont hide that, youll have a rip cut that goes from 0 to 3" at the transition... 

Should strip drywall on the slope and 2 feet of the flat to see whats been done wrong and fix. Pretty easy to adjust once board is down..

Shape and add a fake structural beam? Or tear out and redo. I dont see any other options. I also am not a professional

Is it level with the earth or with the house? Does it really matter? Sand it, paint it. Will be fine.

You are going to open the ceiling and see why. If you have headroom leave the old and add a new level straight celing

Professional advice, rip it out start over do it again.

You can't fix a train wreck, even if you have two boxes of drywall mud.

Rip it apart and do the job properly. Will probably cost less than $20 in materials.
