"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?”

"Let me understand this properly…" The Prime Minister of the True Beginning Empire, Kristan, forcefully raked his thick hair as if he were trying to shake off a nest of rats clinging to his head. He then flicked his hand away with clear irritation, straightened himself, and turned his gaze once more toward the person seated on the opposite side of the round negotiation table. His voice was cold and sharp as he asked, "You are asking for death?"


"What kind of question is that, for hell's sake?!" The man sitting across from him—a brown-skinned figure with three eyes embedded prominently in his face—slammed his palm hard against the table. The sound echoed as he pointed directly at Krstan, his three eyes darting around the hall in disbelief. "How do you expect me to negotiate with this lunatic?!"
