"His origin alongside his abilities must be eliminated. Even I cannot fully cleanse an origin tainted with Curse Power. Rest assured, if he truly survives, I will grant him abilities again. He inherently possesses a physique that resonates with inner sources," Lin Junzhao explained, as if speaking to Pei Yan within or to everyone present.

"But I don't quite understand!" Elder Lin stepped forward to ask, "Since you say the Blood Curse in Ye Jiumu's body acts upon his origin, can't you just remove the source of his abilities? Why would he still be in danger?"

Lin Junzhao leaned back on the chair and pointed to the tall, slender man, "Ask him!"

"This is the vicious and terrifying aspect of Vlad's Blood Curse. The moment you abandon your power, this curse immediately transfers into the victim's bloodstream, merging in such a way that it becomes inseparable, like an insidious malignancy that cannot be eradicated. Otherwise, why do you think the people of the Magic Plane are reluctant to provoke this family?" The tall, slender man glanced at Elder Lin and chuckled lightly.

Hearing this, Ye Ruozai's heart clenched, his fists tightened, and he solemnly asked, "What will become of my brother?"

"The curse cannot be eradicated. From today onwards, for every day that passes, it will be as if he ages a year of a normal human's life. Given his physique, within two months his body will deteriorate to that of an old man in his seventies or eighties, eventually dying from sickness and pain," interjected Lin Ruxue, who hadn't spoken before.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Wang Wenze turned around and punched the wall, cursing, "Damn, bastard! This is insanely malicious! It's both physical and mental torment! Is there no way to lift it? If so, wouldn't that make Vlad invincible?"

Wang Wenze's question reached Lin Junzhao, who scratched her ear and sighed, "Firstly, this curse is also a burden for Vlad himself. As long as the person cursed is not dead, he has to endure the depletion of his own bloodline. The stronger the cursed person's power, the greater his consumption. Therefore, he won't easily use it against experts of the same level. Secondly, this curse is not unbreakable."

Lin Junzhao paused upon saying this, seeing all eyes eagerly focused on her, then smiled playfully and continued, "First, Vlad himself can lift this curse. Second, kill him and it will automatically be lifted!"

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Wang Wenze drooped his head like a deflated balloon and muttered softly, "That's like saying nothing. Forget the first option, we can only go with the second. But can we kill him within two months?"

"Senior, please don't keep us in suspense! I'm sure you invited these two experts because you have a solution in mind!" Cen Xiaoran, usually taciturn, spoke respectfully.

Lin Junzhao glanced at Cen Xiaoran and replied irritably, "I'm still angry about your betrayal, but I won't tease you today. Indeed, there is a way!" Then Lin Junzhao waved her finger at the crowd and smiled, "Don't look at me with such hopeful eyes. We won't help you kill Vlad. My solution is simple: after his origin abilities are removed and the curse transfers into his blood, it will no longer react with the surrounding inner sources. We can then place him under multiple seals; his body enters a sleep state halting the flow of life, or what you call a false death state, until you kill Vlad and lift the seal. If you kill Vlad tomorrow, he regains freedom tomorrow; if you kill Vlad a hundred years later, he gains freedom a hundred years later. Whether you save him depends on you, not me. He might live longer than you due to the seal, haha!"

Listening to the feminine laughter emanating from Pei Yan's body, Wang Wenze and others shivered but couldn't do anything about her. After a brief discussion, the Investigations Office and Ye Ruozai agreed this was the only way to save Ye Jiumu.

After expressing their agreement to Lin Junzhao, she clapped her hands, stood up from the chair, and smiled, "Alright, before we proceed with the transformation, I'll awaken him. If you have anything to say to him, do so quickly!"

Raising her head and thinking for a moment, she added, "Right, to prevent his abilities from being wasted, I can transfer them to someone else during the excision surgery. Don't look at me with such surprised eyes; unlike your Investigations Office needing some Divine Artifact to do this, as the master of this world's abilities, it's not difficult for me. Otherwise, why do you think Divine Will wants to control me, not just for a few shards of origin?" Saying this, Lin Junzhao looked at Cen Xiaoran, who was hesitating to speak, and coldly smiled, "I said I'm still mad at you. Your choice to trust her is your own affair. Missed opportunities are missed opportunities. I don't intend to hold you accountable, but I also won't help you. This time is an exception, don't ask for more!"

Cen Xiaoran, words blocked before they could be spoken, sighed and retreated. Lin Junzhao ignored him further, turned around, and placed her hand on Ye Jiumu's forehead. After a while, Ye Jiumu, lying on the operating table, slowly woke up.

"Please lend me the body temporarily, I have a few words to say to him!" Pei Yan's voice resonated from within. Lin Junzhao listened and silently allowed Pei Yan to take control.

Upon waking, Ye Jiumu glanced around and weakly murmured upon seeing Xia Yu, "Captain, he..."

Seeing Xia Yu biting her lips without a word, tears streaming, Ye Jiumu couldn't hold back his tears any longer and wept, "Blame me! It's all my fault! Why did I have to be so talkative! One more word! I got the captain killed! It's all my fault!"

Gu Shenghui stepped forward, placing his hand on the operating table, looking down at Ye Jiumu and said, "This is not your fault! Listen! Listen carefully; with or without your words, they would have attacked! Do not shoulder their responsibility on yourself! Calm down, your physical condition is dire. I'm going to explain what you're about to face next, listen carefully!"

Facing Gu Shenghui's powerful presence and righteous command, Ye Jiumu held back his tears and nodded. Gu Shenghui then recounted everything that happened to him, detailing his current physical state and the solution.

After hearing all this, Ye Jiumu's face turned pale, he looked at Gu Shenghui, then his brother, finally resting his gaze on Pei Yan and trembled, "Is it true? Will all my abilities be stripped away, leaving me a cripple? And then, like a vegetative state, I'll be sealed just to stay alive?"

"Yes, that's correct!" Without waiting for Pei Yan to answer, Ye Ruozai stepped forward, bypassing Gu Shenghui, and holding his brother's hand, replied.
