"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?”

"…Bring out your brother. He's easier to reason with."


The defiant challenge written all over Richard's face shattered instantly, replaced by raw shock and deep confusion. "My brother? Are you alright, old man? …Do you mean Caesar?"


A faint trace of irritation surfaced on Robin's face. Without waiting for a response, he stepped inside with calm, unhurried strides and sat down on one of the seats, crossing one leg over the other with practiced ease. "Richard still carries fragments of the etiquette he learned while being raised among the nobility during his early years in the city of Jura. You, however, do not. You lack even the basics."


He glanced at him coldly. "You need to be raised from scratch—and unfortunately, I don't have the time for that. I'll let the streets finish what they started with you."
