"We have to leave here."

The moment the giant whale finished speaking, the entire ruins collapsed in a flash.

The entire ruins turned into an illusion in a few seconds, and the intelligent giant whales and their whale dwellers fell down in horror.

What’s more interesting is that the ruins themselves have a weak gravity, but after it became a phantom, the gravity did not disappear but became even stronger.

Of course, this stronger gravity is no longer emitted by the ruins, but comes from the darkness below.

The previous method used by the intelligent giant whale to build a "boat" seemed to be unusable in this situation, and it could only fall together with the whale dwellers who had no idea what was happening.

Lin's troops also fell down with them, but not all of Lin's troops were within the ruins. Some had already flown to relatively far places.

Lin discovered that this mysterious gravitational force only existed in certain locations, and other places were not affected.

As the giant whales continued to fall, they also passed through the entire phantom ruins and fell out of the range covered by the phantom.

When they fell out of the ruins, they continued to fall, because there were some of Lin's spies among the whale dwellers, and Lin could feel their situation very clearly.

As the ruins slowly receded, the feeling changed from falling at the beginning to flying in endless darkness.

The entire flight was very slow. During the drifting process, many whale dwellers became more and more frightened, but the giant whale comforted them, saying that there would not be any emergency situations and they would just have to wait a little longer.

Since this process is so long, let's continue talking to them about some new information we saw in the ruins before.

Although the whale dwellers didn't think that everything would be alright, there was nothing they could do, so they had to listen to what the giant whale said.

When arriving at the ruins before, the giant whale had already seen some new content.

After a large number of abandoned tunnels formed the 'Void Shadow', this shadow seemed to have some kind of goal...it has been growing continuously.

As the shadow of the void continued to grow larger, this place was also noticed by some civilizations.

In fact, there are many contacts with the Void Shadow civilization, but they were basically learned through the Phantom Ruins when the civilization was on the verge of extinction. Later, some powerful civilized creatures discovered the "behavior" of the Void Shadow and began to try to study it.

Some civilized creatures began to investigate the characteristics of the Void Shadow, wondering why it led those dying civilizations into the Phantom Ruins.

They have never found the answer, but they discovered some things during the research process. The essence of the Phantom Ruins is actually the 'hopeful future' of a civilization.

That is to say, the creatures of a certain civilization often imagine what their future will be like, where they will live, etc., and the Phantom Ruins seem to be constructed according to their imagination, which means that the Phantom Ruins are actually the 'future capital' of a civilization.

But it is not static. It will slowly change its form according to the development of civilization. Generally speaking, its final appearance is usually that of a ruin. Although its appearance is often dilapidated, it usually has many resources inside.

In peaceful times it remains an illusion, but in times of crisis when the entire civilization is about to perish, it will slowly become a reality.

It seemed that the Void Shadows designed a phantom ruin according to their ideas, and then let this ruin receive them when they were about to perish.

What is more peculiar is that the phantom ruins seen by a civilization are not necessarily designed according to their own civilization. In fact, in most cases, what they see are ruins designed by other civilizations. Therefore, many civilizations do not feel that the phantom ruins are related to themselves, and they all think that they are the creations of other civilizations.

Only by investigating and studying the civilized creatures in the void shadow can we understand the general situation.

The ruins that the giant whales often come into contact with are the ruins designed by the civilized creatures who are studying the Void Shadow after they understand the 'design pattern' of the Void Shadow and use some methods to let the Void Shadow design for them. Therefore, this ruin is quite special, and it contains a lot of information about the Void Shadow, which they deliberately left behind.

After this special ruins was designed, it was boarded by a giant whale-like creature in the void shadow. They used this special ruins to investigate and research inside the void shadow, and finally recorded the information they learned on the ruins.

The last bit of information also indicated that the Void Shadow was continuously growing in some way. Although it was not clear what the relationship was between the growth of the Void Shadow and its creation of these phantom ruins, the growth of the Void Shadow had already shaken... the Void.

At that time, the void seemed to have entered an unstable state, that is, a state of being about to split. The civilized creatures who studied the void shadow believed that this might be the impact caused by the void shadow, because the existence of the void shadow itself was too large. They only slightly detected the size of the void shadow and found that it was simply... unfathomable.

The civilized creatures who were studying the void shadow outside did not enter the void shadow in the end. To be precise, they did not want to enter. They felt that they might not be able to get out once they entered. However, they used some methods to create such a phantom ruins.

The main function of this ruin is to contact some creatures inside the void shadow. They want to try to get the creatures inside to come out, and this does play some role.

While saying this, the intelligent giant whales and the whale dwellers flew at a slow speed in the darkness for a distance of nearly 30,000 kilometers, and they finally stopped.

It seemed that they had landed somewhere, and although it was still pitch black around them, there was something supporting them.

This thing has a strong invisibility ability. Not only the whale dwellers can't see it, but even the intelligent giant whales can't see it either. But it knows what this place is.

"This is... the Invisible Zone."

The wise giant whale described the situation here. It said that they knew about this place before. Although they had never been here directly, they had learned about this place from some other ruins.

This place is generally called the 'Invisible Zone'. It is a very special area that often appears near other ruins. When it appears, other ruins will enter a phantom state.

After turning into phantoms, some things on the ruins... such as outsiders like intelligent giant whales and whale dwellers will be attracted by the "Invisible Zone" and fall onto it.

There is no record of what happens after that. It is possible that the creatures that fall here will remain trapped, or there may be some way to leave.

Lin also found that this "invisible area" was quite special. There was some kind of force that dragged the creatures here, but did not trap them completely. In other words, they could run away, but since the giant whales could not build a ship that could fly out, they could not leave.

Lin quickly understood the size of the entire invisible area. Its diameter was about one thousand kilometers. It was not that there was nothing here. There were still some things here. Lin felt that these... should be the corpses of past void creatures.
