Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Power of Word Spirit from Ten Million People
Scarlett Jennings suddenly asked, and Cedric Wilder realized that Diana Craig hadn’t entered the Ghost Tower with them.
Diana’s presence was initially quite low, so seeing her fall behind didn’t provoke much thought, and only now did they finally notice something amiss.
Scarlett and her group inside the Ghost Tower weren’t aware, but the viewers in front of the livestream saw it clearly.
After the guests in the livestream room split up, the screen auto-divides, and all viewers could always see Dian Craig’s situation.
When Cedric Wilder and John Dawn discovered the Ghost Tower’s body and entered it, Diana, who was at the end, seemed to be blocked by something, stuck outside.
While John Dawn was making a fuss because Lucienne Xander was bound, outside, Diana was anxiously looking at them.
"What should I do? It seems they’ve been trapped inside the Ghost Tower, I... I need to figure out a way to rescue them."
When Scarlett publicly exposed Lucienne Xander’s true face, outside, Diana quickly set up a divination array in front of the Ghost Tower.
Even while the bullet messages were humorously comforting her not to worry, Diana suddenly seemed empowered, as the divination cards flew in front of the Ghost Tower, eventually landing on its wall.
Everyone saw two lines of words inexplicably appear on the wall.
And then Diana spoke seriously,
"This is a spell to break the barrier of the Ghost Tower. My strength alone is insufficient, please everyone in the livestream help me strengthen the spell power, let’s chant the Eight-character Breaking Barrier Spell together."
The livestream viewers were already watching the drama unfold, so upon hearing they could participate themselves, they suddenly felt a bit excited.
And disregarding the fact that there actually wasn’t any danger inside the Ghost Tower, they subconsciously complied.
Additionally, due to the Hua Country people’s nature, upon seeing this spell text, they subconsciously wanted to follow and chant.
Thus, simultaneously, nearly ten million viewers in front of the livestream responded to Diana’s "call."
Facing the camera of the livestream, they chanted the spell on the Ghost Tower’s wall—
Five directions of the realm, the rules are not followed...
At the same time, Scarlett Jennings, upon realizing something was wrong, immediately demanded David Allen to release them from the Ghost Tower.
At this moment, she heard Diana chant the Boundary Breaking Spell.
"Stop her quickly!"
Scarlett shouted deeply, sending numerous spirit talismans together with Liora Gold flying towards Diana, while Elena Hamilton and Cedric Wilder weren’t clear on the details but moved simultaneously upon hearing Scarlett’s words.
The four spirit talismans and both Elena Hamilton’s and Cedric Wilder’s Immortal Families moved towards Diana.
But it was too late.
Diana, unhurried, finished chanting the last two phrases with everyone in the livestream—
Covering the sky and earth, reversing the world.
At the moment the last eight characters fell, there was a snapping sound as the screen in front of nationwide viewers who were watching the livestream fell into darkness.
Black mist rose from around Diana, seemingly forming a solid wall of mist blocking Scarlett’s group’s "attack."
The internet was in uproar.
The livestream room was disconnected.
But it wasn’t completely disconnected.
Viewers who remained in the livestream subtly sensed something was wrong.
Then they noticed the number of viewers in the upper right corner.
[Wait, why did the number of viewers in the livestream suddenly drop so much? Out of billions watching, only less than three million left??]
[Oh my! Where did everyone go?]
[AAH, I was watching a remote livestream with my girlfriend and she suddenly got disconnected!]
[Same here! I was attending an online class while watching the livestream, and the class suddenly disconnected.]
[My mom just called, and the call dropped, couldn’t reach her saying she’s out of service area.]
Quickly, not only the bullet messages in the livestream, people also started posting online, the content was all about suddenly losing contact with outside areas.
But they didn’t know that all the contents they posted couldn’t be seen outside Sea City.
Sea City’s communication base was the first to realize the problem.
"Report, our signal station has lost contact with the space signal tower, currently, aside from the city-network, we cannot establish any connection outside!"
"Immediately investigate the cause!"
Sea City officials suspected some kind of terrorist attack, and the upper levels promptly began taking action.
Aside from network conditions, reality began to manifest.
Firstly, all sea, land, and air transportation tools malfunctioned.
It’s not that they couldn’t be used, but irrespective of whether taking a plane, ship or high-speed train, everyone aboard from Sea City, upon leaving Sea City, would fall into a layer of black mist, upon realization, they’d find after passing through the mist, they’re back in Sea City.
People couldn’t leave Sea City, whereas outside, vehicles and planes supposed to enter Sea City’s boundary would directly skip past Sea City to the next city.
Sea City itself seemed to have vanished into thin air, no method could capture Sea City’s existence.
As a significant economic hub, Sea City’s breakdown instantly drew the attention of various parties and countries.
Meanwhile, within Sea City, people hadn’t yet realized they were already isolated from the world.
Except, Scarlett Jennings.
At the moment the spell completed, Scarlett distinctly felt something inside her body seemed to be stirring chaotically, as if drawn away wanting to leave her body.
It wasn’t her awakened fox tribe demonic power, but rather...
The demonic power from the Demon Bone absorbed from the North Spirit Stone back then.
She stared at Diana and asked her,
"What did you do?"
Upon hearing Elysia Xander say the Black Mist arranged more than just herself, Scarlett realized that perhaps everything from the beginning was a setup.
Elysia Xander was originally just a "smoke screen" released by the Black Mist Organization.
Due to her special identity, she effortlessly drew away everyone’s attention.
Including Scarlett.
She easily discovered Elysia Xander, easily uncovered her using the Face Changing Technique to harm others, and easily found Layla Xalvadora.
When everyone’s focus was on Elysia Xander, Diana remained perfectly hidden.
Even what Layla Xalvadora said about them wanting to use Elysia Xander to gather faith might have been deliberately misleading.
Scarlett finally understood where the previous unease came from, she had been careless.
What the Black Mist Organization wanted wasn’t fan numbers, but the program’s billions of real-time viewers.
Diana looked at Scarlett, the spell was complete, and she clearly had no intention of hiding it from her.
"Boundary Breaking, an ancient array."
"Using powerful spiritual power as the support, isolating the entire Sea City from the world."
"But I didn’t have the spiritual power to isolate an entire city, so I had to rely on others’ ’faith.’
Millions of people simultaneously chanting a spell, even though those people didn’t have much spiritual power, language itself carries spiritual power.
The collective power of word spirit from millions of people could create gods.
But they didn’t want to create gods, they just wanted to completely control this city through such means.
Then, seize all the fortune of this city.
