I'd like to find a timestamp function that WILL change within a

This function will return to me a 15 digit BIGINT number in base10:
SELECT FLOOR(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW()) * 100000)::bigint;
The problem is that NOW() does not change within a transaction and
so I keep getting the same value. Is there a function that will
return a timestamp that is NOT consistent within a transaction?
Take a look at statement_timestamp() or clock_timestamp()
