At that moment, Li Yunmu knew that it was the most crucial time to probe.
However, when Li Tian was only ten meters away from the human emperor's statue, a bizarre event occurred.
A layer of yellow light suddenly spread out from the human emperor's body. It fiercely expanded and pushed Li Tian back by a few meters.
Li Tian wasn't willing, but he wasn't afraid. He increased his speed and pushed forward with large strides.
At that moment, Li Yunmu, who had been paying close attention to the situation, suddenly felt his heart palpitate fiercely from the depths of his heart.
Li Yunmu subconsciously looked around, and the moment he did so, he realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, the worst case scenario had come true.
The presence of the thousands of guardian statues in the surroundings was quickly awakening and rising.
"Not good, Li Tian, quickly stop and return." At this instant, Li Yunmu was both alarmed and terrified.
He couldn't help but be alarmed, mainly because the presence of the guardian statues in the underground mausoleum was too terrifying.
Even if they were ordinary, their strength wasn't inferior to that of a mid stage great flux expert, not to mention that there were four guardian commanders whose strength was close to that of a high level sage flux expert.
In short, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that among the thousands of guardian statues, even if only one of them awakened, Li Yunmu wouldn't be able to contend against it even if he gathered the full strength of the eleven shadows.
Apart from using Danger Critical Strike – Extermination, given his present combat strength, he wouldn't be able to defeat even the most ordinary guardian statue.
Fortunately, all of Li Yunmu's commands were strictly obeyed by the shadows.
After receiving his command, Li Tian's figure instantly stopped and he quickly retreated. At that moment, the presence of the guardian statues in the surroundings calmed down one after another.
Before long, they seemed to have transformed back into inanimate objects without any difference.
"System, weren't you certain that these statues were inanimate objects? Just a moment ago, they almost came to life, "Li Yunmu asked after calming down.
The system was silent for a long time before replying, "I'm sorry, but these sculptures are beyond the system's understanding. From now on, the host should not rely too much on the system's judgment."
"As for whether they are living beings or not, according to the scanning and analysis of all the signs of life, the System still believes that they are dead. They are not living beings, but it is also possible that they remain in this world in a non-living form."
"Similarly, it's also possible that the owner of the graveyard deliberately arranged them to scare us."
"A bluff?" Li Yunmu shook his head. He didn't believe in the slightest that someone could arrange such a large number of guardian statues with formidable presences in a dimensional space. His goal was just to scare them.
Moreover, Li Yunmu's intuition told him that if Li Tian hadn't retreated and had continued to approach the human emperor's statue, the several thousand statue guards would have definitely awakened.
It wasn't as simple as a surge in his aura.
Clearly, it seemed that sometimes, just relying on the system's data analysis could not be absolutely accurate. For example, the situation he was facing now was so mysterious that it had already surpassed the common sense of scientific verification.
"Then what should I do?" For a moment, Li Yunmu was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The first seal on the secret of the underground cave had already been dug out.
But now, it still hadn't been completely unraveled.
He looked at Li Yun.
Li Yun, the first shadow, had telepathically told him that the inheritance he had obtained from the boundary stele didn't contain any information related to the underground cave.
Li Yun didn't know anything about this.
Li Yunmu was startled by Li Yun's reply. Since Li Yun had obtained the inheritance of the island, he shouldn't be completely unaware of the secrets hidden in his territory.
The inheritor definitely wouldn't have overlooked such an important secret of the underground cave. Thinking about it more deeply, Li Yunmu suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility!
It was very likely that the person who had set up this cave was not the same person as the person who had inherited the Island Plane's space. In fact, there was no connection between them at all.
This thought was completely ridiculous, but it was like a curse that revolved around Li Yunmu's mind.
He told the System everything that came to his mind.
The system made several deductions based on his train of thought. After a long time, it said, [Assuming host's conjecture is correct, then the cause and effect of this matter can also be explained.
We assume that the island is a special dimensional space established by a deity in ancient times. Because of some reason, this deity was on the verge of perishing or leaving this world.
Therefore, he needed to find an inheritor for his dimensional space.
That's why all the inheritance tests we've encountered so far. However, before we entered this island's Plane of Existence, there was actually another unknown and powerful existence who entered this island's Plane of Existence before us.
However, let's assume that this formidable existence didn't care about the inheritance of this dimensional space and instead had other objectives. He used the dimensional space as an opportunity to arrange his own methods.
Thus, the strange matter which we are currently encountering has occurred. The inheritor of Li Yun doesn't know anything about this place.]
The system quickly created a set of deductions based on Li Yunmu's conjecture.
Li Yunmu silently analyzed the deductions. He had to say that the entire process was extremely reasonable, but there was one point which was extremely glaring.
It was so glaring that he couldn't ignore it.
This point was the unknown existence's latecomer. How was he able to break into the alternate dimension and leave his mark on the island without obtaining the island's recognition and inheritance?
It has to be known that there was an enormous difference between the inheritor of the island and the inheritor of the island like Li Yun in terms of control over the island.
This difference couldn't be made up for, and it was like a natural chasm.
First, as the creator of the island, the ancient deity certainly possessed formidable control over it, just like Li Yunmu's heavenly world. He could even mobilize the power of an entire world, which was far from being comparable to Li Yun, who could only obtain the island's approval.
