At that moment, the clock in the palace started to ring sonorously.

The rings reverberated through every corner of the palace.

After the ringing was over, there was still the sound of the clock ticking.

The person stood up from the throne and turned to look at the crimson and bronze round totem behind him before he fell to his knees respectfully. He sternly kowtowed three times.

He stood up and mumbled, "Another epoch has started. Totem God, you haven't shown your spirit in almost 3,000 years."

The figure raised his head to see a pair of clear eyes looking back at him from the crimson and bronze round totem.

The figure hurriedly dipped his eyes as though he had just committed a crime.

He kowtowed another three times.

At that moment, someone knocked on the closed door of the palace.

This figure returned to the throne.

With a wave of his hand, someone opened the door, and a man dressed in black crystal armor walked in.

The man anxiously fell to his knees when he saw the figure on the throne and said, "Lord Palace Attendant, the natural scales have tipped toward the east. This time, the balance of the scales broke the link between Number Six and the natural scales. Number Six spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted. He is being treated by Number Four now.

"Lord Palace Attendant, something that shouldn't belong in this world must have appeared in the east. Number Six sensed that the scales have tipped almost ten times in the past six months."

While he was talking, the man wearing black crystal armor could clearly sense the pressure around the figure on the throne drop, and a deadly air rushed out.

The figure seated on the throne ignored the man dressed in black crystal armor.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Go and wake up the other three palace attendants in Epoch God Palace. We will have a secret meeting in one minute."

After hearing what the figure on the throne said, the man in black crystal armor suddenly released a sincere light of joy.

"Lord, ever since the last time, Epoch God Palace—"

Before the man in black armor could finish speaking, a light that resembled a root slapped him across the mouth.

This light left the man in black crystal armor staggering, and he knew that he had done something very wrong.

At that moment, the figure on the throne sneered. "Number 2, you've overstepped your boundaries. Don't you dare mention Lord Saint. The four palace attendants only get to mention Lord Saint one day a year. If Summer and Winter find out that you tried to utter Lord Saint, your birth horoscope will be destroyed. Don't forget your place. You're just a lowly servant under the Totem God. After being Number Two for so long, have you forgotten the rules?"

Number 2 displayed his birth horoscope and laid it on the ground before banging his head down on his birth horoscope as a way of expressing his regret for almost uttering the words 'Lord Saint'.

After 18 kowtows, his birth horoscope was covered in blood.

Finally, he stood up and bowed at the figure on the throne before heading in the direction of the tightly shut palace doors.

There were many clocks outside every palace that ticked away, counting down different sets of times.

The ticking was so ubiquitous that it would be so easy to let oneself be carried away by it.

From infancy to death, everything was but a passing slip of time.

Half a minute later, a fire lit up on the large round stone tables at the center of four palaces.

The stone tables were carved with messy lines.

If any line was touched, the totems on the line would start to play out.

Four figures shrouded in mist sat at a corner of each stone table.

There were 36 other figures grouped into groups of nine kneeling on the ground next to the tables.

The man in black crystal armor was among them.

A figure with brimming vitality swirling around him said, "Autumn, the four of us record the epochs. The epoch clock outside your palace rang, so it should be time for Winter to start recording. You interrupted our slumber before it was time for us to start recording. Why?"

The figure that had been sitting on the throne said, "Spring, nothing went wrong with the epoch I recorded. However, something has happened in the east. Many things that shouldn't appear in the world have appeared. We should remove it!"

The figure wrapped in frigid cold said, "Autumn, you could have settled this on your own. The epoch started 2,000 years ago, and you took over the recording from Summer. I should be awakening now, but you have also disturbed Spring. If Lord Saint doesn't descend and Totem God doesn't awaken 2,000 years later, how do you expect Spring to last 2,000 years without any rest?"

The figure who had been seated on the throne said solemnly, "3,000 years ago, Tower Canon's First Page Crimson, Second Page Warbler Candle, and Third Page Violet Light Green released an attack that interrupted the epoch clock's time. I sensed movement with Totem God."

The other three people seated at the tables started to tremble, and genuine respect appeared on their faces.

Spring, who was usually the picture of composure, looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "Pick three of you and immediately head to the east to investigate the situation."

Lin Yuan had no time to rest over the past few days.

Although the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen still showed no signs of increasing its Stars, it had absorbed World Crystals and generated several new Sword Skills for Lin Yuan.

All of these Sword Skills would become Lin Yuan's secret weapons.

After lunch, Lin Yuan fetched several songbooks and started to teach Chimey how to sing.

There was nothing that made Chimey happier than learning to sing from Lin Yuan.

Now that its dream had changed, Chimey was no longer obsessed with live-streaming.

Four days had passed since Chimey's bloodline transformed, and it had not held a live-stream on Star Web since.
