Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 67 The Inevitable Downturn (Available tomorrow, please subscribe!)
Feeling the ebb and flow of quantum spiritual energy throughout the storage space, Luo Qing's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

No wonder Ding Yi couldn't find the entity affected by the macro-fusion; it turned out the entire effect was on the spirit stone. The macro-fusion could penetrate his storage space, something he hadn't expected.

That's true; the storage ring has also been quantumized, so the contents inside are bound to be affected.

Luo Qing tried to absorb the quantum spiritual energy, but quickly failed. As he began to observe it, the quantum spiritual energy instantly collapsed and disappeared.

Unless one also enters the quantum realm, all that spiritual energy will be wasted.

However, there's no need to collapse back into the quantum state. Luo Qing is now basically certain that his cultivation doesn't require spiritual energy; he can become stronger simply by meditating.

Luo Qing once had another Wallfacer plan in mind: to create a planetary version of the Spirit Locking Array, pour out all his spirit stones and bury them in the roof of the world—the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, to promote the artificial revival of spiritual energy, and then preach the word globally, taking the path of universal transcendence.

He also took the opportunity to promote the unique cultivation techniques of his hometown.

Unfortunately, the Wallfacer project was destined to fail.

People in the macroscopic world cannot use quantum spirit stones or absorb these quantum spiritual energies.

Surely we can't send all of humanity into the quantum world through planetary-level macro-fusion? The Trisolarans would be overjoyed, getting an uninhabited Earth for free.

Moreover, quantum ghosts pose no threat to the macroscopic world. Quantum Luo Qing has already tried it. He unleashed a peak Nascent Soul level quantum attack in front of Quantum Lin Yun in the Pacific Ocean, but it didn't even kill a fish.

Unless it collapses into the macroscopic world, it is impossible to exert influence on the macroscopic world.

Luo Qing wasn't sure if anyone else besides himself could collapse back into the quantum world; he seemed to be an exception. At least he had already tested it on Lin Yun, and his observation of Lin Yun couldn't cause the quantum Lin Yun to collapse back into the macroscopic world in the presence of an observer.

Lin Yun can only briefly appear in uninhabited waters, where all the fish in the sea are hidden.

Otherwise, he would have tried to rescue the poor little girl as well, instead of returning to the real world himself.

Faced with Luo Qing's utter "Damn it."

"Who's swearing?" An elderly man, annoyed at being interrupted, turned to look at the shadowy figure in the corner and asked, "Who's there?"

The old man couldn't see very clearly, only sensing that it was a young man. Since he was a former leader at Tsinghua University, he reprimanded him:
"A Tsinghua student?"

"No, I was from the Physics Department, doing plasma research, but I've already left the company," Luo Qing explained, having buried the matter of quantum spiritual energy deep in his heart.

He had never met this old school leader since he transmigrated, and his predecessor probably hadn't either. He guessed it was an old leader from the 1990s.

After the old man asked that question, the rest of the people looked over, and soon some with sharp eyes recognized the guy in the corner.

"Luo...Qing?" Someone's voice was strange, full of disbelief.

"It's me, it's me." Luo Qing couldn't hide any longer and had to step forward. Everyone present was dumbfounded when they realized that it was the Wallfacer who was squatting in the corner. Fortunately, everyone who came here was a shrewd person. Although they were excited, they were still able to control themselves and not start a fight with the outside world, rushing over like fanatical fans shouting "Ahhhhhh Qingxian".

Dongfang Mingxi, who was on stage, ran down from the stage and warmly invited the legendary wall-facer to sit at the front. She also asked, "Mr. Luo Qing! What brings you to our venue?"

"I came at your invitation," Luo Qing replied, then politely declined the girl's offer to guide him and walked straight towards Zhang Zhaohua: "Long time no see! Director, are you feeling better?"

The room erupted in uproar, with a retired general shouting, "Old Zhang, when the hell did you get to know the Wallfacers?"

"I ran into him a few years ago when I was doing my morning exercises near the Wallfacers' compound, and that's how we met," Old Zhang called out.

Upon hearing Luo Qing's greeting, Zhang Zhaohua laughed and said, "Thanks to you, the tumor has almost been worn away, and I can live for another 30 years." Old Zhang shook hands with Luo Qing, and then the two hugged.

The two had a relationship that resembled that of close friends despite their age difference, which was quite unusual.

"Come, let me introduce you to our hidden member of the Future History School, the Wallfacer Luo Qing. His other identity is well-known to everyone: a cultivator."

The city hall was now completely bustling with activity. Everyone was truly surprised that the recently illustrious cultivator who had been facing adversity could actually be connected with the future history school. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Regarding the members of the Future Historians School who attended the meeting, Luo Qing knew more than just Lao Zhang; he also knew several other people.

"Vice Principal Yang! Director Zhang! Long time no see! I didn't expect you two with your thick eyebrows and big eyes to be members of the historical school as well," Luo Qing called out to the two former leaders.

Having inherited the legacy, it's natural to properly handle the interpersonal relationships left behind. Luo Qing had long since accepted Luo Qing as his own, and Luo Qing would treat all of Luo Qing's affairs as if they were Luo Qing's. Old Yang and Old Zhang, whose identities as principal and director had been explicitly mentioned, stood there helplessly. Their feelings were actually somewhat awkward. Between 2005 and 2007, these two former leaders couldn't be said to have had absolutely no contact with Professor Luo Qing of the Physics Department; they could only say they 'knew of his existence.'

After the professor from the Physics Department and Dr. Luo Ji from the neighboring department were both selected as Wallfacers, they naturally never saw them again.

However, Luo Qing's predecessor had seen these two old leaders speak frequently at various large, medium, and small meetings.

Faced with Luo Qing's greeting, the two could only nod repeatedly and force out wrinkled smiles.

A former leader from Peking University next to him said sourly, "Tsinghua University has produced two scholars who have studied under the wall. They are truly blessed."

The former leader of Renmin University nudged his old friend with his elbow: "Ye Wenjie is also from Tsinghua University. Do you want this good fortune?"

"Then forget I said anything." The former leader of Peking University shook his head vigorously.

The memes about Tsinghua University destroying the world/saving the world have been circulating on the internet for several years and have even crossed national borders to become a global meme, surpassing Harvard and Cambridge, and being hailed as the most awesome university in the world (not in a positive sense).

Luo Qing's arrival naturally excited the veteran experts and scholars, who bombarded him with a barrage of questions. For example, the physics luminary, Professor Yang, kept asking Luo Qing how he had reappeared from macro-fusion.

Luo Qing explained it at length using Ding Yi's theory.

Because the effect of self-observation is greater than the observer effect of the outside world, it can maintain itself from the collapse of the state of destruction to the state of existence, and it can collapse back into the state of destruction as long as it wants.

There were countless questions like these, and after struggling to deal with this group of curious children whose average age was over 50, more than half an hour had passed.

The meeting was to continue. Once the room quieted down again, Luo Qing sat down next to Zhang Zhaohua and watched the girl continue to chair the meeting on stage.

Dongfang Mingxi felt her head was spinning. She asked, "Where were we at just now?"

Environmental experts say, "The Great Depression brings environmental problems, food problems, industrial problems, and social disorder. But the most important problem is the uncontrollable environmental problem. In the construction of mega-projects like the space elevator, environmental pollution and desertification are inevitable, and this problem may be unsolvable."

When he spoke, the environmental expert deliberately emphasized the words "may be unsolvable".

Everyone turned to look at Luo Qing.

Luo Qing: “…”

"Weren't you guys having a great chat? Why are you staring at me as soon as I arrive?" Luo Qing's tone was full of helplessness.

A high-ranking official said, "You are an all-powerful cultivator of immortality! A terrestrial deity!"

Luo Qing sighed helplessly, "It's one thing for ordinary people outside to say such things, but those of us here are all highly educated individuals and leading figures from all walks of life. Let's not make such jokes. I'm not omnipotent either. I'm just good at fighting. I can't conjure up forests and food out of thin air."

Zhang Zhaohua also came to the rescue, saying, "You are all adults now. Luo Qing made it very clear that humanity has to rely on itself. He only plays a supporting role."

“Yes, that’s right.” Luo Qing nodded. “I’ve thought a lot about the great trough predicted by the future historical school, and the conclusion is that it’s inevitable. But I can promise you all that I will play a supporting role for the next four hundred years. I will not interfere with the normal succession of human regimes, but I will ensure that order does not collapse. I will also urge humanity to pay attention to the basic environmental and agricultural foundations. After all, I still have military power, and I will beat up anyone who disobeys me.”

Luo Qing's statement was simple, blunt, and clear.

"The next four hundred years? How long do you think you can live?" someone asked.

"I can live for another thousand years or so," Luo Qing replied, based on the lifespan of the Nascent Soul stage. He was a little unsure when he said this. Whether he was still considered to be in the Nascent Soul stage was another matter, but in the quantum realm, he was infinitely close to immortality.

Small opening does not count as opening.

As for hibernation? The temperature in a hibernation chamber wouldn't be enough to freeze him. Trying absolute zero might work, but absolute zero essentially freezes all molecular motion. Humanity is still quite far from achieving absolute zero technology.

Faced with Luo Qing's answer that he could live for another thousand years, everyone present was immediately intrigued and suddenly felt a sense of security about the future.

The Trisolarans were also intrigued: would it solve the problem if they could simply outlive Luo Qing? But the intelligent beings of the Trisolaran civilization quickly realized that Luo Qing might be lying.

They were already able to identify simple 'lying' scenarios, and the Trisolarans felt deeply anxious about this.
