System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

Chapter 419 Origin, the Primordial Immortal Emperor!

The Celestial King of Heaven shrugged.

"We can't just sit here frowning all day, waiting for the black fog to come knocking, can we?"

"If that were the case, even the younger generation would laugh at us."

"I see……"

Just as the two were talking, Lin Tian's voice, as if he controlled everything, rang out.

The gazes of the Heavenly King and the Creation King fell upon him almost simultaneously.

"Fellow Daoist Lin."

The Creation Immortal King took the first step closer.

He was always calm and composed, and could remain so even when facing the world of black mist.

But at this moment, his voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Judging from your words, could it be... that you know the origin of the Heavenly Bell?"

The Celestial King of Pingtian also came over.

He even subconsciously lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing the ancient bell hanging high in the sky.

"What exactly is this bell?"

Why would it appear in the Primordial Immortal Realm?

"What is its connection to the cycle of eras and the black mist?"

Countless questions suddenly came to mind.

It's not that they lost their composure.

The Heavenly Bell has troubled the three immortal realms for far too long.

So long ago, all the immortal kings of past dynasties regarded it as an untouchable taboo.

Some people once joined forces to set up a grand formation, hoping to use the power of the laws of heaven and earth to spy on the interior of the Heavenly Bell.

But all attempts ultimately failed to yield a real answer.

At best, you'll gain nothing.

In severe cases, it can damage the soul and cause backlash against the Great Dao.

There was even an ancient immortal king who had lived for several eras. After forcibly deducing the celestial bell, he sat down and died under the bell.

Before he died, he left only one sentence.

—There is an eye inside the bell.

This matter was later classified as top secret by the Primordial Heavenly Palace.

Apart from the successive palace masters and a few supreme immortal kings, almost no one knows about it.

And now.

Lin Tian, this mysterious figure who appeared out of nowhere, seems to truly hold the answer they have been searching for for countless years.

Lin Tian did not answer immediately.

His consciousness remained focused on the system panel.

【Name】：Tianzhong

【Origin】: Forged by the Primordial Immortal Emperor, it records the cycle of eras and is the final countdown to the harvest of living beings.

[Special]: An automatic detection device exists within, capable of detecting the total energy accumulated by all living beings. When the energy of these beings reaches a critical value, the Heavenly Bell will enter its final era.

After reading the system introduction.

Lin Tian finally understood.

No wonder.

No wonder those extremely strange dark creatures are hidden beyond the boundaries of the heavens.

It turns out that from the very beginning, this was not a simple cycle of eras, but a plan to harvest all living beings in the myriad realms.

The celestial bell was not a tool for recording time.

It's more like a countdown clock hanging above everyone's heads.

The stronger the beings in the heavens, the closer the celestial bell is to its final moment.

When the power accumulated by all living beings reaches a certain critical point.

The reaper will then descend.

Lin Tian stood there, muttering to himself.

"I see……"

His voice wasn't loud.

But which of the three people present wasn't a being standing at the pinnacle of all the heavens?

Let alone this short distance.

Even across vast distances of stars, if they wanted to hear it, they could hear the sound of an ant crawling across a dead leaf.

The Heavenly Immortal King's eyelids twitched slightly.

Even the Creation Immortal King's breathing slowed down.

The two exchanged a glance.

Lin Tian knew it after all!

"Fellow Daoist Lin?"

The Celestial King of Pingtian tentatively called out.

Lin Tian still did not respond.

He frowned, as if he was sorting through the information he had just received.

"I see……"

Another sentence.

The expression on the face of the Heavenly King gradually became less composed.

He looked at Lin Tian.

Then look at the Creator Immortal King.

Finally, unable to resist, he reached out and gently patted Lin Tian on the shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Lin."

"Um?"

Lin Tian finally came to his senses.

"What did you just say?"

The Celestial King of Heaven took a deep breath.

"So, what exactly do you understand?"

"Don't just stay here, I see."

"So that's how it is! We're still completely confused."

Although the Creation Immortal King did not speak, a hint of helplessness was also evident in his calm eyes.

He also wanted to know.

What exactly did Lin Tian discover?

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Tian felt a little embarrassed.

This is indeed an occupational hazard of his.

He likes to leave blank spaces in every auction, and this method is indeed very effective.

During bidding, guests are often more likely to get carried away than usual.

The only downside is that it's easy to get talked about behind your back.

Lin Tian didn't even need to think to know that after the auction, many people would be talking about him in their hearts.

"cough."

Lin Tian coughed lightly, a perfectly appropriate hint of apology on his face.

"Excuse me."

"It's a professional habit; I couldn't stop myself for a moment."

Lin Tian seemed completely oblivious to the resentful look in the Heavenly King's eyes.

He gathered his thoughts, and the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"This celestial bell was not a product of natural occurrence in the Primordial Immortal Realm."

The expressions of the Creation Immortal King and the Heaven-Equaling Immortal King immediately turned solemn.

"It was artificially made."

"Man-made?"

A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the Celestial King Pingtian.

"Who could possibly create something like this?"

"Primordial Immortal Emperor".

Lin Tian slowly uttered four words.

This moment.

The wind around us seemed to have stopped.

The sea of clouds has stopped churning.

The celestial birds that circled above the Heavenly Palace in the distance seemed to sense a heavy atmosphere and quietly landed on the mountaintop.

"Primordial Immortal Emperor..."

The Creation Immortal King repeated the name in a low voice.

His brows furrowed tightly.

The Celestial King of Pingtian also fell into deep thought.

After a moment, the two looked at each other.

Then they shook their heads in perfect unison.

"Never heard of it."

The Immortal King of Creation looked solemn.

"My Primordial Heavenly Palace preserves a large number of ancient books from the nine generations of Supreme Heavens."

"It records countless ancient powerhouses and also contains some information about the Immortal Emperors of past generations."

"But I have never seen the name Hongmeng Immortal Emperor."

"The three Immortal Emperors of our era are the Primordial Immortal Emperor, the Myriad Paths Immortal Emperor, and the Returning Void Immortal Emperor."

"Going further back, although many records are incomplete, the words 'Hongmeng' never appeared."

The Celestial King of Pingtian nodded slowly.

"It's not even mentioned in the ancient texts of the Myriad Immortal Realms."

He looked up at the celestial bell, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"However, the words 'Hongmeng'..."

"Could it be related to the first Supreme Heaven?"

"The first Supreme Heaven?"

Lin Tian looked at him.

"That's right."

The Heavenly King's expression was much more serious than before.

"Before the endless ages, in the first era of all the heavens, there was the Primordial Supreme Heaven."

The voice of the Celestial King of Pingtian paused.
