Chapter 10: This Wallfacer is far too cautious.
"All I know is that one day in 2007, you pushed open the laboratory door as usual and saw the long-awaited sunshine. The dark clouds brought by Zhizi were dispelled by your heart."

"In the following year, you resumed your normal life. You went back to school and started attending classes and conducting research as usual. However, you rarely went to that laboratory anymore and gave up new cutting-edge physics research."

"I had very little information at my disposal that year. Without the surveillance video from Zhizi, I could only rely on my own efforts to collect relevant information about you during this period. Unfortunately, I didn't make any significant discoveries."

"The only thing I know is that you seem to have enjoyed traveling and surfing the internet more during this period. In the summer of 2007, you visited the Five Sacred Mountains, Qinling Mountains, Yunmeng Mountain, Taibai Mountain, and other traditional famous mountains. It seems that you transferred your passion for physics to famous mountains and rivers."

'That's me searching for a spiritual vein,' Luo Qing muttered to himself.

"Your behavior is particularly unusual in the online world. In just one year, you have browsed the web pages 243700 times. Among these more than 200,000 web page views, the content you browsed covers almost all sectors such as humanities, history, geology, astronomy, society, biology, medicine, art, philosophy, mathematics, economics, politics, religion, and military affairs. This high frequency of online browsing has become one of my most important clues."

As he spoke, Wallbreaker No. 5 suddenly looked up, staring at Luo Qing, who had a natural expression, and asked suspiciously.

"There's something I can't understand: out of the more than 200,000 browsing records I retrieved, I only found one instance of you browsing a pornographic website."

Luo Qing asked warily, "What are you trying to say?"

The wallbreaker sighed: "This is not normal... really, during that one and only visit to the porn site, you watched for less than five seconds and even left a comment."

"Indecent and immoral, an insult to culture!"

Luo Qing's expression changed drastically.

He immediately tried to erase the Wallbreaker's memories of this matter, but another sentence from the Wallbreaker made him stop.

"This is really too little. Really, you don't have a wife, and you haven't even had a serious girlfriend in your thirties... I found quite a few records of pornographic websites in your browsing history before 07, but there is only one record of pornographic websites after 07, and it seems that you clicked on it by accident."

The man who broke the wall lowered his head deeply: "I can't figure it out."

Of course you can't understand why these vulgar women of this world could catch the eye of this sect.

Also, he cultivated the ruthless path in his previous life!
Although it was almost rejected by the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect as her graduation thesis.

"Your web browsing frequency, which far exceeds that of normal, makes me sense a change in you. You are like a giant whale, greedily absorbing everything in this world, and at an unparalleled speed, you are re-understanding the entire world."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qing's gaze towards the person who had broken through the wall changed noticeably.

"Unfortunately, my understanding of you is limited to this. The Lord's observation of you came too late, so compared to other wallbreakers, I am missing a lot of crucial information."

"In the first year of the Crisis Era, which is 2007, you began to ask questions about the Trisolaran civilization on Zhihu using a secondary account. You seemed to be particularly concerned about the strength of the Trisolaran civilization's military power and expressed your concerns in anonymous answers."

It was also in this year that you learned of the existence of Sophon and that Sophon was the culprit behind the so-called 'cosmic flicker.' It was also from this year that the three-year wave of scientist suicides gradually subsided.

"In the second year of the Crisis Era, which is 2008, your behavior was as usual. When people around the world began to talk about the Sophon and the Trisolarans, you became more silent, almost stopped browsing online information, and resigned from your position as a professor of physics at Tsinghua University. I noticed that you had not conducted any systematic physics research for three consecutive years."

"In the third year of the Crisis Era, which is 2009, humanity first observed the navigation traces of the Trisolaran fleet through Hubble Telescope 2. The appearance of the 'brush' track confirmed the Trisolaran invasion. You have repeatedly browsed related information and seem to be very interested in the Trisolaran fleet."

Also in that year, the Wallfacer Project was proposed by the Planetary Defense Council, and you began to pay attention to the Wallfacer Project, following it from the initial selection of hundreds of Wallfacers.

A week before the start of the 19th meeting of the Planetary Defense Council, you bought your plane ticket, resolved your visa issues, and flew across the ocean to New York, USA.

Three days before the conference began, you appeared near the United Nations building several times, seemingly hesitating about something. Unfortunately, the Lord was not yet paying attention to you. The Sophon was monitoring the hundreds of Wallfacer candidates, and the monitoring showed that you lingered near the United Nations building for three whole days.

Four hours before the meeting was scheduled to begin, you disappeared from the surveillance cameras of the United Nations building.

Three hours and forty minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin, you appeared in Chairman Sai's office; this was the first time Zhizi noticed your presence.

Three hours and twelve minutes before the main meeting was scheduled to begin, an emergency meeting was convened, which approved the establishment of the fifth Wallfacer.

During this round of meetings, there was a six-minute moment of complete silence, during which representatives from various countries were seen constantly adjusting their headsets. The expressions of the participants changed in unison from panic to confusion to sudden realization.

Two hours before the meeting began, you, wearing a hastily purchased and ill-fitting cheap suit, stood on the UN General Assembly stage for the first time, revealing your presence to the world, thanks to the introduction of Chairman Sáez.

An hour before the Wallfacer Project began, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council successively sent their authorizations for Wallfacer status. You have received the unanimous approval of the five major powers, and the belatedly aware Sophon has raised your level of attention to the highest level.

"Following the announcement of the Wallfacer Project, the fifth Wallfacer, who is you, following the first four Wallfacers, has been officially announced."

...

"Gone?"

"That's it. What's left is just the boring time of breaking through the wall. I believe you're not interested in me squatting in the room and observing you for nearly five years. After all, I'm not some kind of voluptuous woman."

Indeed, being watched for five years is a very unpleasant feeling, at least that's what Luo Qing thinks. If it were a clever and quirky little sword spirit observing him like that, then Luo Qing could accept it.

"How do you think I performed in the three years before I became a Wallfacer?" Luo Qing asked.

The Wallbreaker smiled bitterly: "Cautious, unparalleled cautious. I even suspect that from the very beginning of the Crisis Era, you presupposed that you were under the surveillance of the Sophon. You are really... too cautious."

"So steady that Sophon only noticed your existence three hours before the Wallfacer Project was announced; so steady that Sophon didn't even know how you obtained the recognition of the five great powers and the authorization to face the wall; and even now, Sophon still doesn't know how you communicated with the officials of the PDC... You are like a born savior, full of unknowns and mysteries."

Luo Qing then asked, "How have I performed in the five years since I became a Wallfacer?"

The Wallbreaker answered without hesitation: "For the first four years, you continued your caution. In the fifth year, you began to accelerate the deification of the Wallfacer's image and gradually highlighted your extraordinary qualities... For example, those ice-blue stones that emitted white mist. Even with the Sophon monitoring you, I still couldn't find out where you took those stones from."

Luo Qing knew he was referring to spirit stones, something he naturally couldn't reveal to others.

The wallbreaker continued, "During this period, I feel you are like a..."

“A magician,” Luo Qing added considerately.

"Yes, Luo Qing, the Wallfacer, is an amazing magician. That was my biggest impression back then."

“But during this period, I still regarded you as an ordinary person.”

“At the Wallfacers’ performance review meeting, when you grabbed my neck, I felt as if I were floating in a dream. Everything in the past was like a shattered reflection in a mirror, and the real world was leaving me.”

The man who broke the wall gave another bitter laugh: "After I was arrested, Zhi Zi told me that you used unknown means to turn the entire United Nations building into a strong electromagnetic interference room and forced Zhi Zi out of the room, creating a security gap of up to five hours."

"At first I didn't believe it, until Zhizi played the video in my eyes and I had to believe it... The entire United Nations building was enveloped by a barrier made of electricity. This miraculous scene not only ignited the Internet, but also shattered my last bit of hope. I had to face reality: my Wallfacer seems to be an amazing guy."

It's just a trivial array trick.

Luo Qing nodded calmly.

He had been silent in this world for eight years, and from the moment he decided to reveal his strength, Luo Qing had already figured things out completely.

To defeat the Trisolaran civilization, he must gain the full support of humanity in this world. The Trisolaran invasion is neither long nor short; four hundred years later, it will be exactly half the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he cannot solve this problem, he will have no choice but to wander the stars.

The first step in demonstrating strength is to break free from Sophon's surveillance.

The Thunderous Barrier Formation was something he devised after weeks of secluded research, combining physics, electromagnetism, and a bit of cultivation techniques.

The Wallbreaker stared blankly at the table: "Being able to become your Wallbreaker is the greatest fortune of my life. As far as I'm concerned, I've lived a worthwhile life. If I still have even the slightest desire to live, it's that I want to witness how many miracles you can create and how much ability you can demonstrate. I really want to live to see it four hundred years from now..."

Luo Qing said, "I can allow you to hibernate until four hundred years from now."

The man facing the wall was stunned: "Is this your mercy?"

"No, this is part of the plan."

The Wallbreaker laughed, and Luo Qing laughed too. Just as their laughter almost shattered Zhi Zi's voice, the Wallbreaker's laughter abruptly stopped.

The man who broke the wall looked up at Luo Qing.

"Then...can you tell me who you are?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're not Professor Luo Qing from the file. Who are you, then?"

"There is only one Luo Qing, and that is me."

"No, you are not him!"

Faced with the wall-breaker's resolute stance, an unreadable light flashed in Luo Qing's eyes.

"You truly deserve to be my wall-breaker."

In this world, someone finally noticed his origins. Luo Qing didn't know how he felt. He was both happy and sad. He only felt that his long-dormant Dao heart finally trembled. Facing this mortal from another world, Luo Qing gave his answer.

"If I'm not Luo Qing, then who am I?"
