The Pinnacle of the Path of Harmony, Holding The Herta Close!

Lin Hai returned home, feeling relaxed, and sank into the soft, spacious sofa in the living room.

A comfortable and pleasant aura emanated from him.

Today's test and the subsequent Elation not only gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength, but also brought him a sense of satisfaction from the inside out.

In a particularly good mood, he remembered something.

Lin Hai stretched out his hand, a faint light flashed in his palm, and a Contract Lucky Star appeared out of thin air.

It corresponds to the Herta.

Lin Hai smiled slightly and gently squeezed it.

The next moment, the Lucky Star shone brightly, its soft yet dazzling light filling the entire living room.

Within the light, a figure swiftly materialized from the ethereal.

The Herta has descended upon this place.

She blinked, her gaze immediately locking onto Lin Hai on the sofa. Without the slightest restraint, she naturally walked to his side, sat down gracefully, and turned to face him.

"I saw it live, you know." The Herta cut to the chase, his tone filled with undisguised admiration. "That punch, splitting mountains and shattering rocks, it really made a huge commotion. I have to say... it was pretty cool."

Lin Hai leaned back on the sofa, accepting her praise without hesitation.

"The increase in power is all-encompassing. It affects the physical body, Path, and other aspects..."

He gave a meaningful look, his gaze sweeping over her with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Herta slightly raised its chin. "Oh? A comprehensive enhancement? That makes it even more anticipated."

"Should we try it ourselves and verify it?"

Lin Hai leaned forward, closing the distance slightly, his voice low and carrying a hint of seduction.

The Herta coughed softly. "The experiment... can wait. Before that, we need to discuss the next batch of supplies."

"What do you need? Just tell me."

The Herta was clearly prepared. As if by magic, he took out a neatly folded list from the seemingly small backpack behind him and handed it to Lin Hai.

"Look, they're all listed above. Some of the materials are quite rare, so collecting them might take some effort."

Lin Hai took the list and quickly glanced through it. It listed various metals, energy devices, and some special chemical products.

He nodded and carefully put the list away.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this. Not a single item on the list will be missing."

"The Herta revealed a satisfied smile and said, "In addition, I also used my personal authority to coordinate some rare raw materials from the space station's reserves, as... an extra investment for you."

Upon hearing this news, a hint of warmth flashed in Lin Hai's eyes.

He knew all too well how precious the resources of the Herta Space Station were, the Herta's move was undoubtedly a timely help, demonstrating its great trust and support for him.

He reached out and gently ruffled her soft hair.

"You're so wonderful, you're my precious darling."

This intimate gesture and straightforward praise made the Herta pause slightly, and her fair cheeks flushed even more.

She forced herself to remain calm, extended one of her small hands, adorned with an exquisite lace glove, and presented it to Lin Hai, striking a slightly arrogant pose.

"Since you know it's a precious treasure... well, I'll give you a chance to kiss the back of my hand as a token of my gratitude."

Lin Hai couldn't help but chuckle at her appearance.

He readily complied, gracefully taking her soft little hand in his, lowering his head, and placing a gentle yet solemn kiss on the smooth skin of her hand.

"It's my honor." He looked up, a deep smile in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the living room was warm and ambiguous.

The Herta snuggled up to Lin Hai, hugged one of his arms, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

She looked up at him.

A look of inquiry gleamed in those eyes.

"You've gone to so much trouble, demonstrating your strength and planning for the future... what exactly do you want to build Belobog into?"

Lin Hai felt the warmth and weight on his arm, looked out the window, and spoke in a steady and firm tone:

"A peaceful, free, and prosperous country. A place where people can live and work in peace and contentment, free from the suffering of hunger and cold, and where there is no distinction between upper and lower classes."

The Herta blinked and spoke bluntly:

"Such a goal sounds wonderful, but there are many people in the universe who share similar ideas. Such countries, while not ubiquitous, are certainly not unique."

Lin Hai smiled slightly, as if he had already expected her to say that, "So, I want to do something different."

"Oh? What's different?"

The Herta's interest was piqued, and he unconsciously sat up straighter.

"Within Belobog, the deep-seated conflicts between the upper and Underworld have been initially bridged. But this is only the beginning. I want to try to resolve more profound conflicts, not just those between the upper and lower levels..."

The Herta seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "I remember... a philosopher from the Genius Society once proposed a viewpoint. He believed that contradictions are universal and continuous; they are not static but constantly developing and transforming into one another."

Lin Hai turned his head and looked at her with great interest.

"Who is this philosopher of yours?"

"A senior scholar who was obsessed with studying the laws governing the universe..." The Herta said with respect, "His thoughts were profound."

Lin Hai nodded. "It's quite a coincidence that in my home world, there was also a philosopher who put forward a very similar view."

The Herta's eyes lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit. "Then he must be a genius too!"

"He is."

Is he still alive?

Lin Hai gently shook his head. "He's been dead for decades."

"Decades have passed?" A look of regret immediately appeared on the Herta's face. "What a pity... I really wanted to meet him and have a chat."

Lin Hai patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Although the philosopher has passed away, his profound insights into the laws of the movement of contradictions have been passed down as a legacy of thought. This in itself is a kind of eternity."

"So..." The Herta seemed to understand something, and looked at Lin Hai again, "You want to... verify them in practice, or rather, seek balance in a dynamic process, or even... transform them?"

"Yes." Lin Hai's eyes brightened.

"What I want to build is a new Order that can embrace and transform contradictions, moving forward continuously in a dynamic balance. It should allow different forces and different voices not to annihilate each other, but to resonate on a higher dimension... This, perhaps, is the pinnacle of Path of Harmony!"

His words revealed a tremendous determination and ambition to create the future.

The Herta stared at his profile, and for the first time, he felt so clearly that what the man beside him was after was far more than just the prosperity of a single city or region.

Lin Hai said, "Perhaps one day, on the Path of Harmony, I will be the one who goes the furthest."

"Before that, why not try the Path of Elation first?" The Herta said ambiguously. "Shall we try it now? Let's experience the pinnacle of happiness!"
