"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?”

Morgana forcefully threw open the gate of her palace and stepped out, her eyes blazing with a violent storm of rage that seemed ready to burst at any moment.


Moments ago, she had been deep within the private cavern beneath the palace, personally instructing Adrian on the delicate method of compressing the First Royal Star. He had been on the verge of beginning the actual experiment when news reached her that a disturbance had broken out above. Annoyed but composed, she ordered her followers to deal with it—only to be told that the ones causing the trouble were the Shadow Swords, and that she would have to come out herself, immediately.
