"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?”

"I may be sitting here," Robin declared loudly, his voice echoing through the hall, "but I'm hammering threads across entire sectors!"


He let out a low, satisfied chuckle. "And it's obvious now that I hammered the right threads, my work in mid sector 101 started bearing fruit!"


"….?" Arkalon propped his chin on his hand, studying him carefully. "Are you deliberately tampering with the fates of entire sectors just to reach the First Stage of Causality? That's downright evil, my friend—even by your standards."


"Huh? Of course not." Robin waved his hand twice in a casual, dismissive motion. "Reaching the First Stage of Causality was merely a pleasant side effect, nothing more, compared to what's actually coming."


"A pleasant side effect?" Arkalon's brows drew together sharply. "Hey—what exactly are you planning to do?!"
