"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?”

Like the Sun of Truth, the opened eye illuminated the void, its radiance spreading through the endless darkness in golden tides that seemed capable of exposing every hidden secret buried within existence itself.


The nascent and young space beasts stopped once more in respect and fear after they had begun retreating moments ago, their massive bodies trembling instinctively before that overwhelming gaze. Before that gigantic eye, all of them felt like worms... no, even less than that, insignificant specks standing before something they could neither understand nor oppose.


They had not frozen this time because they sensed overwhelming strength and suppressive authority like what happened earlier with the ancestral space beast, nor because they were intimidated by a terrifying amount of energy.
