Chapter 422: Seeking a Breach
“You still haven’t found a way to forcibly access their intranet?” The Ji official was clearly unwilling to give up.
Since the New Ji Race inherited the Ji name, hundreds of thousands of years had passed. During that time, they had encountered civilizations similar to the Swarm—unwilling to let the Ji or any other foreign power access their intranets.
However, weakness was the original sin. Fragile, fledgling civilizations stood no chance against the Ji’s overwhelming technological superiority. What those civilizations believed to be foolproof intranet defenses often proved utterly meaningless in the face of the Ji’s capabilities.
