"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?”

"…Didn't he tell you that he is not your opponent?"


Guardian Silas jolted backward instinctively, his blazing orange eyes flaring and trembling as if struck by a sudden shock.


The aura of the newcomer was unquestionably within a Law Domination Realm—and not the unstable pressure of someone who had only recently stepped into it. No, this was the aura of a man who had ruled over a Law for an unfathomably long time. An aura refined by endless battle, sharpened by slaughter, heavy with experience.


An aura that spelled one thing clearly to Silas—


"You…" Guardian Silas retreated again, his breath hitching. "It's you!!"


His voice rose despite himself. "The Son of Destruction—Hedrick?!"


Below them, everyone who still managed to remain standing felt those names strike their hearts like the final nail hammered into their resolve. The battlefield, moments ago filled with chaos and roars, fell unnaturally silent.
