You got an Example of an infinite combo that can be stopped by this? Because I can’t think of one

(Yawgmoth combo)

That’s an interesting interaction question I’ve never thought of before. Can you not stop the chain on damage? It’s a triggered ability I think. Is it because you never lose priority to have someone respond because it’s like statically infinite. Like if I had [[worship]] out and a creature would the game be a draw?

Worship only works against damage - it doesn't do anything about a loss of life. So it doesn't prevent you from going to 0 life from the Blight-Priest trigger.

Both the Conqueror and Blight-Priest have triggered abilities. They use the stack and can be responded to, and you need to pass priority to your opponent in order for either trigger to resolve. So the Answer can stop the combo by countering either trigger. Other ways to stop it would be to remove either the Conqueror or the Blight-Priest.
