"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?”

"..." Helmor stopped midway between several nearby planets and remained suspended there in the middle of space, his attention completely focused on examining the contents stored inside a recording transmission crystal in his hand, carefully going through what had just been delivered to him.


Then Crush he suddenly closed his fingers around it and shattered the crystal completely, without showing the slightest change in expression on his face, as though the information he had just received meant absolutely nothing to him.


But that simple action, despite how casually he performed it, did not go unnoticed by the people nearby...


"Hahahahaha!!" Not far away, Kiryan suddenly burst into loud laughter the instant he noticed Helmor's reaction. "Haaaaaaaaahahahaha!"
