Forbidden areas were all ove rhte world, and existed since a long time ago.
They were a thorn to this world, and were natural disasters that were very difficult to get rid of.
After all, curses were different to living creatures, and many weapons were not useful against them.
In this world's history, there had been a large-scale operation before.
During that operation, many different nations had acted together to blast a forbidden area with powerful weapons.
This lasted for many days, and flattednd every inch of the land there.
However, people were shocked to find that nothing had changed.
Following this, people had given up on dealing with forbidden areas.
The weapons that seemed so destructive to humans were useless against curse energy.
As such, Chen Heng was the only one who could deal with Cursed Lands.
Thus, after the Cursed Lands had been suppressed, Chen Heng turned his attention to the forbidden areas.
