"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how.
But glory… glory is the answer.
Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it.

"Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!"

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

Inside the Soul Society — The Grand Hall


Here, where a hall stretched with no visible beginning and no discernible end, where visitors of the Soul Society gathered to meet, exchange information, and listen to the most important announcements... there was not a single place left for anyone to stand, not even a fragment of empty space within sight.


The last massive gathering of this magnitude had taken place decades ago, when Lord Human announced four groundbreaking innovations that completely shifted the direction of the universe and altered the balance between countless factions.


But even that gathering, the one born from a full month of anticipation and an open invitation from the Soul Society to every corner of existence... was nowhere close to the sheer number of beings present today.
