"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?”

In Glatheon's usual fashion, he wasn't remotely satisfied with knowing only half the truth and leaving the rest buried beneath unanswered questions, so he used his smooth, carefully measured words to contact several powers whose leaders he was already certain had personally committed those acts. He approached them as though he were merely another victim of the same circumstances, complaining about the situation as if he himself had done exactly what they had done, gradually lowering the defenses of whoever stood before him and making them feel comfortable enough to speak openly about what had happened... and eventually, they did speak.
