Chapter 394: Inside Story
During that period, the New Ji Race had declined to its lowest point, rendering it incapable of restricting all the alien races. Combined with the establishment of certain new regulations, it was impossible to return to the old ways.
Although the New Ji Race managed to suppress the Confederation through various means, their influence could no longer compare to the dominance of the progenitor Ji race.
The progenitor Ji race had once confined every alien civilization to its home star system, strictly forbidding expansion and stationing troops in those systems to monitor everything.
In contrast, the New Ji Race could no longer achieve such control. Initially, military authority was entirely under the jurisdiction of Lumina, and by the time the New Ji Race transitioned its mindset and took over the military, the alien races had already developed significantly.
Although the New Ji Race was still the most powerful force at that time, they could no longer station troops in alien home systems as before. While they continued to maintain garrisons, these were concentrated in specific star systems within the galaxy, rather than being as widespread as before.
According to Bular, the Ji garrison point nearest to the Swarm was nearly a hundred light-years away. Such a distance meant that any journey to the Swarm’s domain would require passing through numerous alien territories.
As for the monitoring devices, they were now mostly concentrated in newly emerging civilizations and unclaimed star systems. The older civilizations had already removed these devices, as no one wished to be under surveillance.
Bular even expressed great pride in this, stating that few civilizations in the Outer-ring could detect and eliminate these devices. The Troi Civilization was one of them.
Luo Wen directed Danton to feign confusion, questioning whether such actions would provoke retaliation from the Ji.
