Obvious Ans is But.

.
The paths of glory lead ...... to the grave.

Glory leads straight or directly to the grave. Just think - How can glory leads to the grave.
You can translate the whole sentence in your mother tongue then try it sound good with but

BUT can be used as connector b/w two sentences

i.e, - there is nothing wrong with being rich and wealthy, but the rich have to be careful and make sure they're living for God and not money.

But can be used as change meaning, the direction of the sentence by the connector.
i.e he becomes rich but very mean.

Correct answer is 'but'.

The achievements and glory lead the life successfully but at the end which in reality is the graveyard of thousands damed souls.

Glory and grave contradict each other and that is why "But" will suit the sentence.
