"Ding!" "Ding!" The melodious bell sound reverberated above the capital of the Uranos Empire, causing surprise and confusion on many faces. The number of times the bell rang was too many. In the memory of many residents of the Imperial Capital, they had never heard the bell ringing this long before, which caused anxiety in many hearts.
"When the Emperor ascends to the throne, I remember it rings nine times, but how many times has the Century Clock rung now?"
"Te... twelve times," someone stuttered.
"Something big is definitely about to happen."
Although the bell sound stopped, the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital became incredibly solemn. Every citizen was extremely suppressed, for the Century Clock would not ring easily. Only during crucial events like emperor succession, his grand nuptial ceremony, return of victorious legions from expedition, and conferring of noble titles, would the Century Clock ring.
