Chapter 54: Ancient Things
“We once inhabited that world.”
The giant whale...seems to have once been an intelligent creature, a creature that lived before the split of the void.
Before the void split, a tumbler in the Whale Dweller Galaxy was where they lived.
They used to live a very peaceful life there as intelligent creatures... at least among their own kind.

Although they are individual creatures, there has never been a war among their own kind. They spend most of their time in 'meditation'.
Because this creature has a more interesting characteristic, they have a very complex sensory structure. When observing an object, they can know what the object is made of, including the details of the internal components, etc. They can also observe the surface conditions of another tumbler on the surface.
At the same time, their brains are relatively complex. They can clearly display what they observe in their minds. It feels like they are building their own "thinking space" in their brains, rather than having highly vague memories like other creatures.

Because of this ability, these giant whales have been observing other things all the time, and then putting these things into their brains for further analysis, or decomposition and reorganization.
So they have not established any civilization in reality. They just use relatively simple methods to build a nest for themselves, such as directly hollowing out the mountain and living in the cave, but they have established something quite complicated in their brains.
The brain of each giant whale can be said to be a wonderful little world, which is the result of the giant whale constantly decomposing and reorganizing the information of everything it sees.
Their body size is also related to this. As they obtain more information, their body size also begins to grow. This growth seems to be endless. After a long time, they still don't know where the limit of their body size is.

At that time, many giant whales had sufficient understanding of their own world, so they mainly obtained information by observing the void.
Of course, they had been observing before, but the effect was not very good. The information obtained from observing things that are too far away is not as rich as that from things that are close, so they had been observing less before.
Only when there was nothing new on the surface did they begin to focus primarily on the stars.

As they spent more time focusing on the starry sky, they found that it became clearer. Originally, when they looked at distant stars, they could only tell the approximate size of the object, but gradually they could know the various details of its surface, as well as the conditions of the tumblers surrounding the stars.
Lin felt that the situation of these giant whales was like their brains were connected to some kind of space channel, and they used this channel to obtain detailed information about the target objects.

Even if the target is far away, they can obtain information through long-term observation.
As they gained a better understanding of the starry sky, they grew larger and larger, and some of the largest individuals even gained the ability to fly in the void.

Giant whales don't just grow bigger, they also develop unprecedented organs that give them entirely new abilities.
But they also discovered a problem. They found that as their body size increased, their intelligence would decrease, especially those that flew into the void. They would become a kind of wild animals without wisdom that could only float in the void.
This is mainly because their growth causes changes in their internal organs, while their brains shrink.
So some of the giant whales stopped observing the void and continued to observe the things around them. At that time, they had already noticed a parasitic creature, which is now the whale dweller.

The whale dwellers at that time were a kind of unremarkable parasitic creatures, with no signs of becoming intelligent creatures, and the giant whales did not pay much attention to them.
Then after some time had passed, they saw the 'Phantom Ruins'.
The appearance of this huge ruin drew their attention to the ruins. Not long after, they noticed that the ruins had turned into a 'solid' state, so they tried to climb up the ruins.
Because the intelligent whale dwellers did not have the ability to fly in the void, they mainly rode on those of their kind who could already fly. After arriving at the ruins, the ruins disappeared into the void along with this group of intelligent giant whales.

As for those giant whales that had become wild animals, they remained where they were, and they had no idea what happened to them later.
It is now known that after a long period of time, the "wild giant whales" have formed a life pattern of migration and reproduction among the tumblers, but it is not known whether there are giant whales flying to a farther void.
The whale dwellers also developed from parasites into civilized creatures during this period, but the entire span seemed a bit long. They experienced the split of the void and entered the normal void, and then experienced many different periods of the normal void, but these tumblers still retained some creatures.
This is probably the reason why the Whale Dweller was approached by the Recording District today.

The whale dwellers themselves do not seem to be very important. What is important is their galaxy and the special influence this galaxy has on completing the goals of the recording area.
Due to Lin's obstruction, they seemed to be planning to abandon this place temporarily... and they gave up together with the whale dwellers.

After Lin explained the situation to the whale dwellers who were still outside, some of them decided to fight back. However, since it was impossible to gather all the whale dwellers to organize a counterattack, they finally decided to give up.
Many whale dwellers on high floors wanted to escape from here directly. Some tried to ask Lin to take them away, while others tried to find ways to escape on their own.

While they were busy fleeing, the enemy did the same. Although there were still many fleets left, they also retreated.
The First Recording Area seemed to think that it was impossible to capture this place with the remaining troops, so they let them leave first.

Of course, Lin will continue to observe the situation here to see what this galaxy has experienced.
At the same time, Lin also began to explore the "huge space".

After the whale dwellers learned about the situation from the wise giant whale, they didn't know what to do. The giant whale told them that they could stay and continue living in this place.
Intelligent giant whales have been living in this place for a long time, but they are not always awake. They spend a lot of time sleeping.

Because this phantom ruin itself will approach other ruins, but the approach process is very long, so most of them will not wake up until they get close.
And now it is said that this ruin is actually moving and is approaching another ruin.
