"The former is a power created by humans, drawing upon the Heavenly Person Realm and combining the Ancient Divine Language of the Ancient God Clan. The latter, however, is a taboo born from humanity imitating the unique nature of the Ancient Supreme through their own Inheritance Paths. These Forbidden Techniques were developed through the research and accumulation of countless predecessors since Ancient Times and flourished during the end of the Pre-Qin era."

"Humanity's Golden Age also began from this point. During that time, humans had already grasped the key power to combat the Ancient God Clan, even launching counterattacks into the Ancient God Realm and seizing the initiative."

"Until many years later, the concept of Catastrophe was formally introduced."

Jing Ci clearly understood these matters and wasn't particularly surprised.

Gu Jianlin, however, fell into deep thought. No wonder the so-called Qilin Forbidden Curse eluded him.

"My junior brother was researching the origins of Breathing Techniques and Forbidden Spells when he suddenly went mad."

Huai Yin withdrew her gaze, regrettably saying, "Don't respond! Don't respond! Don't respond! This repeated phrase has now become a famous saying in the Dark World. That fool claimed that humanity shouldn't meddle with the powers of the Inheritance Path, including Breathing Techniques and Forbidden Spells, calling them mere conspiracies."

Gu Jianlin hesitated for a moment.

"Have you heard others talk about this matter?"

Jing Ci glanced at him and smiled, "Are you curious about what he did?"

Huai Yin then resolved the confusion.

"Two hundred years ago, Jiang Yanli was convinced his conclusions were correct. He spiraled into overwhelming madness, proclaiming that it was all a shocking conspiracy—that the world was drunk while he alone was sober."

She paused, "Yet no one believed his words. Everyone thought he had lost his mind. And in that insanity, he resolved to do something unprecedented."

Jing Ci added, "Sever all Inheritance Paths in this world."

Gu Jianlin felt a profound terror exploding within him, rendering him speechless for a long time.

"Sever the Inheritance Paths?"

He muttered, "How could that even be achieved?"

According to Deep Space Official Website records, humanity still hadn't figured out how the Inheritance Paths had originally emerged.

A faint mockery flashed across Huai Yin's eyes, but she said nothing.

"If we can't discern the origin of the Inheritance Paths, then it is indeed impossible to sever them. But there's an old saying: If you can't solve the problem itself, solve the person creating the problem instead."

Jing Ci smiled, "It's alright not knowing how to sever the Inheritance Paths. All you have to do is kill every single Ascender in this world, and the Inheritance Paths will naturally cease to exist."

Kill every Ascender in this world.

Gu Jianlin felt a cold sweat breaking out all over him, his pupils trembling violently.

Madness.

This was sheer madness.

How many people would need to die for this?

It amounted to an apocalypse.

"Heaven's Punishment: Sword of Damocles. This is a segment of the world-destroying plan. The Red King, a Ghost-cutting Ninth Rank Ascender, is at the stage titled Candle Yin God, mastering the greatest number of Forbidden Spells along with Breathing Techniques."

Jing Ci said softly, "The Red King procured 3,267 meteorites from the depths of the Universe and used Forbidden Spells to transform them. Relying on the supercomputer Deep Space, he created an algorithm and established an immense Alchemy Matrix outside the atmosphere. The core of this domain is what you understand as the Realm of Freedom."

Gu Jianlin realized that the Realm of Freedom's effect was to obliterate all Extraordinary Powers within its domain!

"Although in the end, the Red King's plan failed."

Jing Ci shook his head, "Heaven's Punishment was preserved and later used on the Teacher, to keep him in check and prevent him from killing indiscriminately."

Gu Jianlin turned to look at the old man.

Huai Yin's face was impassive, letting out only a cold snort, "Unlucky."

Gu Jianlin felt a growing curiosity.

If the Red King was so insane, what had the King of Qing done in his time?

At this level, their thinking was incomprehensible.

Especially for someone like him, an Extraordinary Power illiterate—he was utterly clueless.

"The stone tablet before you records the Qilin Forbidden Curse."

Huai Yin said indifferently, "Though it seems blank, if you're on the Divine Path, focusing your spirit on it may allow you to comprehend the Ancient God Clan's language and script, gaining knowledge of the Forbidden Curse."

"However, compared to Breathing Techniques, learning Forbidden Spells is slower because they require an incubation process."

Jing Ci turned his head and said, "Go ahead and try."
