"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?”

"Hmm, Marshal Aro truly did well this time," Peon remarked with a satisfied tone, nodding several times as he flipped through a thin crystalline tablet shimmering with recent updates. "According to the latest reports from the Shadow Swords, he successfully finalized a complete diplomatic accord with the Empire of Stray Predators, the Empire of Abyssal jellyfish, and the Empire of Exiled Peacock—all three have officially agreed to become Wings under our banner. And now, he's currently in advanced talks with both the Empire of Aghrad and the Empire of Green Winds as well!"
