Vol 9 Chapter 54: ancient things

"We used to live in that world."
The Whale... seems to have been a sentient being, a creature that lived before the Void split.
Before the Void split, a tumbler in the Whale Dweller system was where they lived.
They used to live very peacefully there as intelligent beings...at least among their kind.
Although they are a kind of individual creatures, they have never fought among the same kind, and most of the time they are engaged in "meditation".
Because this kind of creature has a more interesting characteristic, they have a very complex sensory structure, when they observe an object, they can know what the object is made of, including details of internal components, etc., they can also be on the surface. The surface condition of another tumbler was observed.
At the same time, their brains are also more complex. They can clearly display the observed things in their brains, and it feels similar to building a 'thinking space' of their own in their brains, rather than simulating them like other creatures. Great memories.
Because of this ability, these giant whales have been observing other things, and then put these things into their brains for further analysis, or decomposition and reorganization.
Therefore, they have not established any civilization in reality. They just built a nest for themselves in a relatively simple way, such as hollowing out the mountain to live in a cave, but they have built quite complex things in their minds.
Each giant whale's brain can be said to be a wonderful little world, which is the result of the giant whale's continuous decomposition and reorganization of the data of everything they see.
Their size is also related to this. As the data they obtain increases, their size also begins to grow. This growth seems to be endless. After a long time, they still don't know where their size limit is.
At that time, many giant whales mainly obtained information by observing the void because they had enough understanding of their own world.
Of course, they have been observing before, but the observation effect is not very good, and the data obtained by observing things that are too far is not as rich as that of things that are close, so they have been observing relatively few before.
It was only when there was nothing new on the surface that they began to focus mainly on the stars.
And as the time they pay attention to the starry sky increases, they also find that the starry sky becomes clearer. Originally, they can only know the general size of the object when they look at the distant star, but gradually they can know its size. Details on the surface and the tumblers around the star.
Lin feels that the situation of these giant whales is quite like some kind of spatial channel is connected to the brain, and they obtain detailed information of the target through this channel.
Even if the target is far away, they can acquire data through long-term observation.
As they learned about the stars, they grew larger and larger, and even some of the largest individuals gained the ability to fly in the void.
The growth of giant whales is not just about getting bigger, they will also grow some unprecedented organs, allowing them to have new capabilities.
But they also found a problem, that is, they found that with the increase of body size, their intelligence will become lower, especially those of the same kind who fly into the void, will become a kind of no intelligence, only floating in the void...wild animals .
This is mainly because their growth leads to changes in internal body organs, while the brain shrinks.
So some giant whales stopped observing the void and continued to observe things around them. At that time, they had noticed a parasitic creature, which is now the whale dweller.
The whale dweller at that time was a kind of parasitic creature with no characteristics, and there was no sign of becoming an intelligent creature, and the giant whales did not pay much attention to it.
Then after a while, they saw the 'phantom ruins'.
The appearance of this huge ruin made them turn their attention to the ruins, and not long after, they noticed that the ruins had become a 'solid' state, so they tried to climb the ruins.
Because there are still wise whale dwellers who do not have the ability to fly in the void, they mainly travel by those who are already able to fly. After reaching the ruins, the ruins and this group of intelligent giant whales disappeared into the void.
As for the giant whales that have become wild animals, they stayed where they were, and they don't know what happened later.
It can now be known that the 'wild giant whale' has formed a life pattern of migrating and breeding among the tumblers after a long period of time, but it is unknown whether there are giant whales flying to the farther void.
The whale dwellers also developed from parasites to civilized creatures during this period, but the whole span seems to be a bit long. They have experienced the division of the void into the normal void, and then experienced many different periods of the normal void, but these tumbling The person still retains some of the creatures.
Today, whale dwellers are found in the recording area, which should also be the reason.
The whale dwellers themselves don't seem to be very important. What matters is their galaxy, and what special influence this galaxy has on accomplishing the goal of the record area.
Because of Lynn's obstruction, they seem to be planning to give up this place temporarily...and they gave up together with the whale dwellers.
Some of the whale dwellers who were still outside decided to fight back after Lin explained the situation to them, but because they couldn't summon all the whale dwellers to organize a counterattack, they finally decided to give up.
Many whale dwellers on the upper floors wanted to escape directly from here, some tried to let Lin take them away, and some tried to escape by themselves.
And just when they were busy fleeing, the enemy forces were the same. Although there were still many remaining fleets, they all retreated.
The first record area seemed to think that the rest of the troops could not take the place, so they let them go first.
Of course, Lin will continue to observe the situation here to see what the galaxy has experienced.
At the same time, Lin also began to explore in the 'huge space'.
After the whale dwellers learned about the situation from the intelligent giant whale, they didn't know what to do, and the giant whale told them to stay and continue to live in this place.
Smart whales have been living in this place for a long time, but they are not always awake, they are sleeping a lot of time.
Because this phantom ruin itself will approach other ruins, but the process of approaching is very long, so most of them will not wake up until they approach.
And now it is said that this ruin has actually been moving and is approaching another ruin.
