"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?”

Standing silently in the vastness of space... Kiryan the Conqueror watched the battle unfolding before him with visibly weary eyes, his gaze remaining fixed on the chaotic scene without making any move to interfere.


At this moment, forces directly under his command were attacking a planet... Yes, after everything that had happened and all the forces gathered here, their current target was merely a single planet.


Kiryan's forces weren't particularly numerous in this battle, consisting of only three of his disciples accompanied by around a hundred fleets, while the enemy forces defending the planet outnumbered them by a considerable and immediately obvious margin.
