Ye Jun was in a great dilemma. He completely forgot that he wasn't just one person, but two souls merged together to become who he was now. His mind held memories of both people, as the world itself treated both as the same person.
He was confident in facing his past. Even if it was messed up, it was his and he had gone through everything. All actions and consequences were his choices.
But what the previous Ye Jun did weren't his actions. He knew the consequences but didn't feel them, didn't own up to the mistakes he made.
'Aghh! What do I do?'
He had two options before him. First, he could use the Memory Severing Technique and cut off the memories of the previous Ye Jun. It would increase his chances of success by a lot.
Or he could try Ascension with his current self, which was a hell-difficulty trial. His chances of failure were high, but the results would be equally rewarding.
