Disaster Loomed, Scattered to the Four Winds

For a time, Yu Ci truly experienced what it meant to be frazzled and overwhelmed.

He did not know what had happened in the distance, but he guessed something had gone wrong near Wu Tuo City. Of the dozen or so targets used to build the greater structure and form the prototype of the Heavenly Demon Hall, six had lost contact in the blink of an eye. All of them had been in the Wu Tuo City region.

With nearly half the major "nodes" severed, the devastating damage to the structural framework became apparent at once.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Ci could still have made some moves. But now, he could only watch helplessly as the greater structure neared collapse. By the time his ice-sealed perception reacted, the collapse had already reached its middle stage. When he tried to act again, new changes had already emerged.

Fortunately, a thread of his split consciousness had been transferred over. After its initial stiffness in the face of this accident, it promptly gathered the minds of all parties and established new principles: preserving the Heavenly Demon Hall's basic structure took first priority. It threw open its senses without restraint and searched for other targets. Before total collapse, it finally found two or three, barely propping up the framework and keeping it from perishing on the spot.

The changes over there were far too swift, while Yu Ci's own consciousness was far too slow to keep pace. The resulting disparity made his mind reel, and there were already signs that his soul was being damaged.

He knew this was not something to withstand by force. He truly could not help now, and could only send over one principle: his split consciousness was to take care not to let the backlash from the collapse harm
