Chapter 10: The Name of the Eastern Emperor

Oh, wait, you said... who are you

Gudu Gudu

However, this has caused great suffering for Mu Changsheng

Seven days ago, this clock inexplicably fell before me, and then it exploded my physical body with a beam of golden light, leaving my soul homeless

Who else could it be

In mythology, it is said that the Eastern Emperor Bell is a treasure of the ancient Heavenly Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, hence it is named the Eastern Emperor Bell, possessing the terrifying power to destroy the heavens and the earth and to recreate the myriad heavens

The Eastern Emperor Bell, it is actually the Eastern Emperor Bell, Mu Changsheng's heart was simply filled with joy.

What is Taiyi? He is called Donghuang

If someone were to glance at Mu Changsheng now, they would undoubtedly feel a chill run down their spine

Mu Changsheng expressed his astonishment, saying: "By the way, what exactly happened a few days ago? You suddenly appeared before me and inexplicably caused my body to be reduced to ashes."

In his anger, he wanted to curse loudly, but in the end, he could only let out a deep sigh

That voice let out a cold snort, and at the same time, the golden bell emitted a light tremor with a "hum" sound, beginning to glow

Since the appearance of the Golden Robe Boy, he has sat down on the golden bell, crossing his legs and looking down at Mu Changsheng from a high position

He said with a sense of loss: "I can no longer find my only friend and comrade."

Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Mu Changsheng immediately felt as if it were the end of the world. Thunderclaps exploded above his head, and a deep, penetrating pain enveloped his entire body.

Dong!

Mu Changsheng surveyed his surroundings in the Heavenly Pool. After a moment, his gaze fixed on the golden bell before him, and he tentatively asked, "Could it be you... who is speaking?"

Suddenly, he became furious, for he had seen a magnificent and resplendent palace.

It is it, precisely it

Moreover, when he arrived at this high platform, it was evident that there was no one else here, yet how could there truly be the sound of a second person's voice?

He... is dead

There is still a question that Mu Changsheng does not dare to ask himself, nor does he even dare to think about it for a moment

The young boy in the golden robe felt somewhat uncomfortable under the gaze of the shepherd Changsheng, and thus said somewhat unhappily: "I am your esteemed Lord Donghuang Zhong, do I need to repeat myself?"

Mu Changsheng nodded after listening, suddenly invigorated, his gaze fixed intensely on the golden-clad young boy, not blinking at all, as if afraid of missing a single word

What Mu Changsheng did not know was that when his body sank into the Heavenly Pool, it resembled a porcelain piece on the verge of shattering, covered with a dense network of cracks akin to a spider's web, as if it could break into countless pieces at any moment

This little doll resembles a miniature three to four-year-old child, with smooth and fair skin, a head of black hair, and dressed in a golden robe, looking exceedingly adorable

Haha, young man, long time no see

Soon, he felt that the entire world had quieted down, as he could hear no sounds at all, and he no longer felt any pain in his body

"Dong Huang Zhong, haha, you are actually Dong Huang Zhong..."

Upon seeing this grand hall, Zhong Ling could not help but roar: "Haotian, you shameless scoundrel who can only usurp the position of the Heavenly Emperor..."

Before losing consciousness, Mu Changsheng was already filled with regret, feeling as if his intestines had turned green. He wondered why he had demeaned himself; what did it matter to him whether Dong Huang lived or died?

The young boy in golden robes said: "I am your esteemed Lord Donghuang Zhong."

Mu Changsheng curled his lips and said indifferently: "It seems that this is all from ancient times, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, all..."

If I had the Eastern Emperor Bell, I suppose I should be able to walk through this world filled with gods and demons with ease

These events date back to ancient and prehistoric times, seemingly occurring tens of thousands of years ago.

So if there really is an opportunity to go back right in front of oneself, would one truly be willing to return?

After the fall of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, this Eastern Emperor Bell has also vanished without a trace

As he continued, the golden light in his eyes remained undiminished, and he gazed around the heavenly court, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes

The ability to directly nurture spirituality into a humanoid, sentient child can only be described as the East Emperor Bell being an extraordinary and unparalleled divine object, which left Mu Changsheng in deep admiration

Once again, a bell tolled like a muffled thunderclap above his head, and then Mu Changsheng flipped backward, fainting and slowly sinking into the Heavenly Pool

The current appearance of the shepherd is too terrifying; each of his ears has a glaring line of bright red blood flowing out, trickling down his cheeks

Upon hearing the words of the shepherd Changsheng, the golden little boy was taken aback, and then with a look of disbelief, he laughed and said: "No, it's impossible. What do you, a mere young lad, know? In ancient times, he dominated the heavens and the earth, protecting all beings, and was the supreme ruler of the Three Realms. How could he possibly die?"

Mu Changsheng was speaking, but he did not notice that as he spoke, Zhong Ling's increasingly unpleasant expression became more pronounced

Because Mu Changsheng remembered that some magical treasures are born with a great deal of spirituality and will choose their own masters, such as the Golden Cudgel in the hands of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West"

Of course, it would be even better if I could run away with myself

Upon hearing Pastor Changsheng inquire about this matter, the originally elevated spirits of the golden little boy immediately sank.

However, he soon expressed his surprise, saying: "But he is already dead, what are you looking for him for?"

Mu Changsheng let out a sigh, and his sigh had already made the choice for him

Just as Mu Changsheng sighed, another voice truly emerged here

The power of this clock is too strong and too terrifying. It seems that my previous thought of urinating on it as a form of revenge is unlikely to happen. Instead, it would be better to turn enemies into friends and seek greater benefits for myself

This is a doll the size of a palm

Upon hearing the name of the Eastern Emperor Bell, Mu Changsheng immediately broke into a broad smile, and the pent-up frustration that had long been suffocating him suddenly dissipated.

Hmm? Where is that kid?

Mu Changsheng suddenly burst into laughter

Since the appearance of this resplendent golden bell, Mu Changsheng's gaze has been firmly fixed on it

Returning to that world of neon lights and wine, where one works tirelessly from 9 AM to 5 PM, exhausting oneself, yet can only earn a meager salary

Mu Changsheng was taken aback: "Who is it, Donghuang Taiyi?"

"Who are you?" Mu Changsheng asked warily

The Eastern Emperor Bell, also known as the Chaos Bell

The sound of bells, like thunder, began to ripple across the water's surface, visibly expanding in circles outward.

What else can we do if we do not disperse

Now that things have come to this point, pursuing responsibility for it holds no significance. If I continue to investigate, will I even be able to return?

Zhong Ling looked at the empty Tianchi below, surprised to see no trace of Mu Changsheng. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his expression changed drastically as he gazed into the depths of Tianchi: "I... I wouldn't have accidentally killed this kid again, would I?"

Mu Changsheng immediately felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and an involuntary shiver ran through his entire body

Alright, it is my fault; I have been ignorant and uninformed.

Now it's good, just a few days after being reborn, and soon I will once again be hanging in the grip of this sick clock. I don't even know if this time I will still have the chance for my soul to remain undying, to be a lonely ghost or a wandering spirit...

However, according to Mu Changsheng, this golden-clad child is not the Donghuang Bell he mentioned, but rather the spirit of the Donghuang Bell.

However, after he sank into the Heavenly Pool, the water of the pool unexpectedly began to emit a soft white glow, which was absorbed into his body, gradually repairing his currently cracked form

Mu Changsheng shook his head; in any case, whether it is the Eastern Emperor or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he had never seen either, so he did not wish to argue with him on this matter

Upon thinking of this, his body involuntarily began to tremble, his eyes widened in anger, and the expression on his face transformed from initial astonishment to profound rage

Suddenly, a small head the size of a walnut emerged from the top of the large clock, bathed in golden light. Soon, the entire body of this little creature was revealed before Mu Changsheng's eyes

Who

Zhong Ling looked towards the Heavenly Pool with great joy, and after a moment, he suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Very good, very good! I did not expect this young man to have such fortune, to obtain your treasure, the Spring of Transformation, from an old friend. Young man, you can be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing."

Fortunately, this place is protected by the mysterious power of the Heavenly Pool, thus the sound of the bell did not spread outside, but merely resonated on the high platform of the Heavenly Pool

If the Jade Emperor did not deceive himself before, then this Heavenly Pool should have remained unopened for a thousand years, so there should only be oneself here now

The Golden Child Path: "He is still the Heavenly Emperor of ancient times, the supreme ruler who shook the ancient era. The Eastern Emperor is the glory and title that has accompanied him throughout his life"

Dong!

After a moment, this spirit gradually calmed down

Zhong Ling suddenly shouted, and at the same time, the chaotic bell beneath his feet began to shake violently with a "dong dong dong" sound

Friend, comrade

At that moment, a series of small bubbles suddenly emerged on the surface of the Heavenly Lake.

Not only his ears, but also his eyes, both nostrils, and mouth, each had a bright red line of blood flowing from them, which is precisely what is known in legend as the bleeding from the seven orifices

According to his recent intensive study of books in the mortal realm, he learned that Dong Huang is a figure from myth and legend, and was the first sovereign of the three realms, the Heavenly Emperor, after Pangu opened up the heavens and the earth in ancient times

Whether you believe it or not, I am too lazy to deceive you

Be quiet

It is said that in ancient times, his heavenly court was destroyed, and even the Eastern Emperor did not know how he fell. Ultimately, it was Haotian, who is now known as the Jade Emperor, that established a new heavenly court at the beginning of antiquity, succeeding him as the new Heavenly Emperor
