Chapter 168: Sarah (2)
“Teacher, is this the Divine Kingdom?” Sarah asked Morgan as they stood within the Swarm Network.
Over the years, the Swarm Network had undergone several updates. The most notable improvement was the ability for intelligent beings within the network to manifest physical forms, rather than appearing as mere glowing orbs.
As the Deity Faith Sect grew increasingly powerful and more Ratfolk discovered the “door” to the network, Luo Wen could no longer personally oversee every individual entering it. He didn’t want to end up playing the role of a doorman.
To address this, Luo Wen assigned a team of Blades to handle the Ratfolk Intelligent Entities entering the Swarm Network. To distinguish them from the combat-commanding Blades, he renamed this group Lookouts.
Luo Wen established a set of rules for the Lookouts to evaluate each Intelligent Entity knocking on the “door.” Those who met the criteria were granted access to the network.
However, since the Lookouts’ rigid thinking and inflexible methods could miss certain exceptional talents, Luo Wen also appointed a secondary review team composed of Intelligent Entities to ensure no valuable souls were overlooked.
As the former Empress of the Kerrigan Empire, Sarah possessed extraordinary talent and had been injected with Affinity Serum. She easily found the door and, with her abilities, effortlessly met the entry standards, gaining access to the Swarm Network.
Morgan, as the first Ratfolk Intelligent Entity to enter the Swarm Network, had served as a steward for Luo Wen over the years, completing numerous tasks. His network privileges had been upgraded multiple times, granting him the ability to freely traverse between the Swarm Network and physical space.
Thus, the seemingly final farewell between teacher and student lasted less than two minutes. The two reunited within the Swarm Network.
