Hearing Lin Yuan's question, the Research Institute Director and the Press Club President both pointed at the stone statues around them.
"Those are them."
Lin Yuan paused, then looked at the surrounding statues.
He had noticed these statues long ago, but unlike the statues the Ancient Beasts on Beast Star had turned into when sealed, these were extremely crude, rather like stone idols roughly carved by unskilled craftsmen in a primitive tribe.
Nor had Lin Yuan sensed any power or will within them.
As he examined them, however, he did discover something new.
There were inscriptions floating inside these statues.
The inscriptions within each statue were different.
"These inscriptions are...?" Sensing that these inscriptions were anything but simple, Lin Yuan raised his brows slightly.
Seeing this, the Research Institute Director volunteered an explanation.
"This is a special space-time location derived from the Endless Sea Universe."
"Only beings of the Endless Sea Universe can enter."
"Although the Players come from the Holy Land World, they can enter with the system's support."
"But the Sanctum Founders are neither beings of the Endless Sea Universe nor under the system's jurisdiction, so they normally cannot enter."
"To address that, the Three Saints specially set up these statues. Although the exact mechanism is unclear, as long as these inscriptions remain, all the Sanctum Founders will be able to descend through these statues when the final battle comes."
"I see." Lin Yuan nodded, realizing that this must have been a special arrangement by the Third Lord.
Still, Lin Yuan had some doubts. The Third Lord had overseen the creation of the entire system, so bringing all the Sanctum Founders under it should have posed no problem.
That way, they could enter this space directly.
Why go to the extra trouble of using these statues and inscriptions?
