"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?”

"Of course there's evidence!!" Helmor replied immediately, his voice carrying obvious excitement at Robin's question. "To be frank, I never personally asked either of them to provide that evidence because I know very well that obtaining something like that would cost a price I simply couldn't afford, and even they themselves would have to exert considerable effort and spend quite a bit of energy trying to uncover evidence specifically related to what happened to you. After all, you're not some historical figure who died long ago and whose past they can simply dig through at their leisure; you're still alive, you're the current Candidate of this cycle, and the threads of fate connecting you directly to the Seer are still extremely strong."
