Chapter 62: The Seer and Dumbledore's Disagreement!
Humans experience different psychological states at various ages.
A newborn calf fears no tiger, adolescence, knowing destiny at fifty, doing as one pleases at seventy without transgressing boundaries…
These changes are influenced by shifts in hormone levels, physical condition, and life experiences.
Most people go through various stages in their lives.
Many would frown and be unable to believe they would become the person before them if they met their 30-year-old self at age 10.
But there are exceptions.
If a person experiences extreme stimulation, a certain thought can become an indelible mark in their heart.
This is true for people like Roger, like Snape, like Voldemort, and even Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
And now, Harry is also like this.
The memories in the professors' minds fulfilled all of Harry's beautiful fantasies about his parents.
Just as he was lost in them, Snape's memories delivered a devastating blow.
This greatly shook Harry's inner world; at 11 years old, he didn't know how to face this cruel other side.
At this moment, Roger appeared, showing him a path.
The path of courage!
And it was the path of courage to do what is 'right.'
"Without a strong inner self, one cannot become a truly powerful wizard," Roger stated.
Dumbledore shook his head, "But that is difficult. You are also on this path, you should understand… Moreover, becoming a powerful wizard is not the only path in life."
What constitutes a strong spirit is the determination to charge forward even when facing thousands of others, to place certain things above one's current life, and to stop at nothing for a goal.
The path Harry has chosen for his spirit is extremely dangerous.
Many people, at some stage in their lives, possess the courage to fear nothing.
But most gradually lose this courage amidst the bustling world.
However, Harry, now facing his inner self, has chosen to confront Voldemort, to face his greatest fear and enemy.
After this battle, everything will be different.
Just like Tetsuya Yamagami, who was displaced while persecuted, and Tetsuya Yamagami after shooting Abe twice, their mental states are completely different!
Those imprints on their souls can never be erased.
From now on, Harry will continuously delve deeper into the path of courage.
In the short term, with the enhancement of a strong spirit, Harry will become increasingly powerful in a short period, perhaps even more exaggerated than Snape during his school years.
But what about afterward?
Even if he becomes as powerful as Dumbledore, what of it?
Dumbledore, as the President of the International Confederation of Wizards, also has many things he cannot do.
He is bound by secrecy laws; even if he witnesses the tragedy of Muggle wars, he cannot intervene.
He lacks the ability to reconstruct the order, so even though there are many aspects of wizarding society that Dumbledore dislikes, he will not overturn the table.
A bad order is still better than no order.
Once Harry's power swells to the point where he must confront the countless wrongs in this world, his 'correct' persistence will only lead to two outcomes.
Either he will crash his head against a wall, give up his persistence, and his spirit will be tarnished.
At best, he will become the next Snape; at worst, he will become a Metamorph.
Or… he will sacrifice himself for the greater good!
In Dumbledore's eyes, Harry is slowly transforming into a meteor, burning as it streaks across the sky!
"I understand your concerns." Although his body is the same age as Harry's, he, like Dumbledore, treats Harry as a junior.
Naturally, he also understands what Dumbledore is worried about.
"But with the mindset of 'it's for his own good,' you stop him from becoming a better person. Is that… right?"
"Headmaster Dumbledore, human life is very short. Even Voldemort, Nicolas Flamel, or even if I myself do not achieve Eternal Life in the end, compared to the infinite world, we are all fleeting and insignificant."
"Life is destined to end. To understand why one lived and to die without regret is not an unfortunate thing."
And this is also why Roger has always been able to maintain such unwavering resolve, continuing to fight no matter what difficulties, pain, or dangers he faced.
He genuinely believes that dedicating his entire life to what he considers the most righteous cause, living a life without regret, is an incredibly romantic notion!
He believes that Che Guevara, Confucius, Zhuge Liang, and countless brave individuals who fell throughout history, those who interpreted their will with their entire lives and never regretted it until death, even if they fell on the path forward, their lives were immensely successful.
Whether or not he ultimately achieves the near-impossible goal of Eternal Life, as long as he keeps moving in that direction and never gives up, Roger will smile even in death.
Therefore, in his view, Harry's choice is not something that needs to be corrected.
Considering the Earth's existence for over 4 billion years, whose life isn't brief? It's better to shine brightly and live as one pleases! Dumbledore, unable to refute Roger's words for a moment, changed his angle: "The so-called 'correct' choices he makes are not absolutely correct. Perhaps one day he will regret them."
Roger chuckled softly, "This is a world of magic, Headmaster."
As Roger spoke, he drew an '8' in the air with his finger.
It was the shape of an hourglass.
Dumbledore's pupils contracted as he understood Roger's meaning.
"You!"
In the magical world, people could indeed take back their words, for example, with something in the shape of an hourglass... a Time-Turner!
"Do you know what you're saying..."
Roger was completely at ease about this. "To achieve true Eternal Life, it's impossible not to involve time."
"I must obtain the means to withstand the attacks of the timeline."
"I've chosen Harry to help me with research in this area."
What Harry was working on might be hidden from others.
But it was impossible for Dumbledore, a wizard of his caliber, not to notice any clues during Harry's seven years at school.
Since there was no point in hiding it, it was better to be upfront! "Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't want to harm anyone, nor do I want to be harmed by anyone."
Roger's calm gaze met Dumbledore's increasingly stern one.
Meanwhile, the battle between Snape, Harry, Quirrell, and Voldemort reached its climax amidst their confrontation.
For Voldemort, as he was now, no matter how many tricks he had, he had nowhere to apply them.
Before the magic of love flowing through Harry's bloodline could be resolved, he couldn't harm Harry.
The outcome of the battle, from beginning to end, could only be one.
Faced with this situation, Voldemort had no choice but to bring out the ultimate move he had prepared to obtain the Philosopher's Stone from Roger.
"Heaven and Earth Live as One, Perish Together!" But he wasn't using this move against Harry.
All his methods were useless against Harry.
His true target was...
"You're watching me, aren't you, Roger!"
