Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1541

"My mom was on the phone with me earlier, but her line suddenly disconnected. When I called again, it said her number was no longer in service."

Soon, it wasn't just the livestream chat that was affected; people online started posting about losing contact with locations outside of Seastone City. However, what they didn't know was that none of the posts they sent out were visible beyond Seastone.

The Seastone communication tower was the first to realize what was happening.

"Report—our signal station has lost contact with the space communication tower. Currently, apart from the local network within the city, there's no connection to the outside world!"

"Find out the cause now!"

Seastone authorities suspected a terrorist attack, and the higher-ups immediately sprang into action. Alongside the issues with the network, the real-world situation began to manifest.

First, all transportation—sea, land, and air—malfunctioned.

It wasn't that they couldn't be used, but regardless of whether people took planes, ships, or trains, all vehicles leaving Seastone would immediately enter a layer of black smoke as soon as they departed.

When they regained their senses, they would find that after passing through the smoke, they had returned to Seastone.

People couldn't leave the city, while vehicles and planes that should have been entering Seastone were instead bypassing it, heading straight to the next city.

Seastone seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter what method was used, no one could capture any trace of its existence.

As a key economic hub, its sudden disconnection immediately drew the attention of various countries and international organizations.

However, the citizens had yet to realize they had been severed from the rest of the world. Of course, Shannon was an exception.

At that point, Shannon finally understood where that sense of unease came from. She had been careless.

What the Black Smoke Organization wanted, in terms of faith, wasn't the amount of fans but the number of live viewers exceeding ten million.

Adeela turned to Shannon. Considering the spell had been completed, she had no reason to hide the truth from her. "It's called The Rift, an ancient ritual…

"Relying on immense spiritual energy, it isolates the entire Seastone from the rest of the world. However, I couldn't muster enough spiritual energy to isolate an entire city, so I had to rely on the faith of others."

With nearly ten million people chanting the incantation at once, even though their individual spiritual energy was minimal, the power of words themselves carried immense power.

The collective power of so many voices could create a deity. But their goal wasn't deity-making; instead, they sought to use this combined force to take complete control of the city, and ultimately, to seize all the fortune that belonged to it.
