"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?”

An ancestor… one hundred adult space beasts… two thousand young space beasts… and one million nascent space beasts?


Each one of them alone was enough to seriously trouble even the Cosmic Elder and bring about slow, catastrophic destruction over time.


One hundred adult space beasts? Only one had appeared in Sector 911, and it set the entire universe ablaze, forcing everyone to watch in terror. No one dared go near it. They left it to devour hundreds of planets freely, until the Cosmic Elder himself finally appeared and killed it. 


But what if ninety-nine more had appeared alongside it at the same time?!


"I don't know whether it was her bad luck or the universe's miserable fate that caused this—or perhaps there are many such massive nests in existence, and it was only natural that she would stumble upon one of them after destroying such a large fragment of the barrier. What matters is that Athena finally met her true equal in those beasts."
