The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1410 - Chapter 1410 Chapter 1508 What Are You Hesitating About

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1508: What Are You Hesitating About? Chapter 1410: Chapter 1508: What Are You Hesitating About? Within the towering Seven Stars Tower, Dugu Nian was shackled under a giant stone sword, her body bound with Cold Iron Chains, rendering her nearly immobile.

At this moment, for unknown reasons, shadows of people always seemed to flicker before Dugu Nian’s eyes, her consciousness sometimes clear and sometimes muddled.

She forgot more and more things, her mind a blank, yet that one figure that often appeared could never be completely erased.

Dugu Nian desperately wanted to see who this figure was, but there existed a force that blinded her eyes, preventing her from seeing the true face of the figure.

When her consciousness was in disarray, Dugu Nian couldn’t feel the existence of the outside world at all; she could only see herself standing in a vast expanse of white, looking out to a void with nothing in sight.

Dugu Nian remembered nothing, aware only of her name and the extraordinary powers she possessed, yet everything else was forgotten.

Perhaps, it wasn’t Dugu Nian who forgot, but rather the power within her that devoured her memories–perhaps this was the price of attaining power.

But Dugu Nian didn’t want it this way; she didn’t want to forget her past, not even the smallest shred of memory.

If she lost all memories of the past, would she still be herself? What could her pitiful name “Dugu Nian” signify?

“What are you hesitating about?” Unnoticeably, within this pallid world, a person appeared before Dugu Nian.

Looking exactly like Dugu Nian, but with bewitching red hair and crimson eyes, her expression was chillingly indifferent.

Dugu Nian gazed at her doppelganger; this wasn’t the first time she had encountered her. This red-haired Dugu Nian had appeared many times during her periods of confused consciousness.

Each time this red-haired Dugu Nian appeared, she would say the same thing:

What are you hesitating about?

Indeed, what was she hesitating about? To become stronger, to chase after someone’s footsteps, hadn’t she longed for greater power?

Now that she had the power, why was she hesitant?

Dugu Nian wanted to answer, but when the words reached her lips, she didn’t know how to respond.

Hesitant? She wasn’t hesitant; this power was what she yearned for. To attain this power, she endured unimaginable pain.

But as she gained power, Dugu Nian also found herself losing so much more.

Although she knew there would be a price to pay for strength, Dugu Nian hadn’t expected to become a totally unfamiliar person upon obtaining this power.

Without the memories of the past, void of all previous feelings, her heart bereft of even a trace of emotion, she was like a walking corpse.

Was this what she wanted?

Dugu Nian was extremely clear that this was absolutely not what she wanted; she merely wished not to fall too far behind that person and to not become a burden or obstruction to him.

She didn’t want him to look down on her because she was a competitive and strong-willed woman.

If pursuing power meant abandoning her original intentions, then Dugu Nian absolutely couldn’t do it–she would rather give up this power to retrieve everything she once remembered.

“What are you hesitating about?” The red-haired Dugu Nian spoke again and walked towards Dugu Nian.

“Get away from me!”

Dugu Nian roared in anger. She loathed and feared this red-haired woman and didn’t want her to come any closer.

“Soon, you will become the person you wish to be, why are you still hesitating?” the red-haired Dugu Nian said indifferently.

“I absolutely do not want to become a monster like you!” Dugu Nian shouted loudly.

“Monster? You are me, and I am you. Do you think you’re a monster?” The red-haired Dugu Nian paused slightly, her tone laced with irony.

“I’m not like you! You are not me at all!”

“Oh? You still think you’re different from me?”

Dugu Nian suddenly looked terrified because she saw her hair turning red and a power that didn’t belong to her, for some reason, appeared within her.

“No!!!!!” Dugu Nian screamed in horror and despair. She didn’t want to become the Dugu Nian who had forgotten her past, the one who didn’t want to forget that person.

“How ridiculous. You chose my power, so this day was inevitable, no matter how much you struggle, the result is the same.” The red-haired Dugu Nian across from her sneered, her lips curling into a contemptuous smile as she approached Dugu Nian once more.

“Get away from me! Don’t come any closer!”

“Get lost!”

“I will kill you!”

***

Dugu Nian kept roaring, but the red-haired Dugu Nian continued to draw closer, now standing right before Dugu Nian.

“You are me, and I am you.”

Just as the two figures were about to completely overlap, a weak flicker of white light appeared unexpectedly between them.

The red-haired Dugu Nian, who had been about to merge into Dugu Nian’s body, stopped in her tracks because of the sudden appearance of the white light.

Moreover, the red-haired Dugu Nian’s expression changed completely, a flash of apprehension in her eyes.

“Hmph! This wretched thing is still inside you? With just a pitiful amount of power, you think you can stop me?” The red-haired Dugu Nian gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing she could snuff out the white light then and there.

But instead, she vanished from Dugu Nian’s sight.

Dugu Nian also came out of the chaos in her consciousness and looked around, finding herself still in the Seven Stars Tower, bound by the cold and hard Cold Iron Chains.

A violent headache struck her, nearly causing Dugu Nian to faint, but the pain did not last long before it subsided.

Dugu Nian’s face was pale, and her smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Unconsciously, her hair gradually lost its bewitching blood-red hue, returning to its original black.

But her eyes remained a scarlet color, giving off a somewhat eerie vibe.

“I haven’t forgotten you, Fang Lin.” Dugu Nian showed a happy smile, looking very weak. There were large blanks in her mind, but this name had not been completely forgotten.

The persistent figure in her mind also became a bit clearer.

*****

Above the sea, Fang Lin held an ancient spear and the White Bone Dragon Spear, his body surrounded by flames that showed no sign of diminishing, his gaze fixed sternly on Wang Linlang.

The latter’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that she indeed might have underestimated this Fang Lin. If it wasn’t for extraordinary strength, how could so many masters from the Supreme Palace have died by his hand?

“Everything on you will soon belong to the Supreme Palace,” Wang Linlang said coldly, stepping forward abruptly, arriving in front of Fang Lin in an instant.
