"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?”

Robin's voice carried a peculiar stillness—calm on the surface, yet filled with an undercurrent of quiet authority. His smile, though faint, was edged with an almost dangerous sharpness, an expression that seemed to pierce through the silence and burrow into the hearts of everyone present. The entire hall froze in place, as if time itself had forgotten how to move.


Dozens of faces shifted in an instant. Some twisted in disbelief, others darkened with anger or outright dread. Even Shaddad and Morgana, who had seen Robin act with boldness before, couldn't mask their astonishment. 


As for Harper, standing near the side wall, his composure cracked. His head snapped up, eyes wide and uncertain, his mind racing to make sense of what he had just heard.
