  Version 1.0.9 Update Notice

  Dear Travelers,Greetings! The Achievement System is finally here.As our first system co-created with the community, its complexity far exceeded our expectations. Aside from some technical issues, mainly the implementation difficulty of certain achievements was too high, which delayed the release.At the same time, to avoid players getting stuck on overly difficult achievements in future gameplay, we chose to drop some of the player-suggested achievements. We hope the Travelers who contributed those ideas won't take it personally.Additionally, to improve your experience, we've added:Manual Save. When you first enter the game, open the Settings page and click Auto Save — you'll then see Save and Load buttons.Return to Main Menu, so you can easily switch between save files.PS: The auto-save feature currently follows your account. If you manually save in File A and then start File B, the manual save will carry over. Please keep in mind that if you close the game, it won't auto-save. So please check your save status frequently to make sure it's in the state you want.PS2: The Achievement System in this update only works on TapTap and Steam. Since it requires platform-specific configuration, we've only rolled it out on these two platforms for now. Due to limited manpower, we can't meet everyone's needs at this time — sorry about that!

  1.0.6 update

  Dear Travelers,Sorry to keep you waiting. This update mainly adds two new features, along with several bug fixes:I. New Features1. Death Recruitment (Re-recruitment after death) We realize that the permadeath mechanic may still be too hardcore. After team discussions, we have decided to change it to a mode where characters can be re-recruited after death. This recruitment mode will be enabled by default in existing save files once the update is applied.If a character in your party has already died, you can go to the Character Recruitment location in Xuanqiu City to re-recruit that character. However, to preserve the essence of "death," the re-recruited character will be a completely independent individual – with a new name and requiring new development. (PS: The recruitment will refresh after 5 in-game months.)For players who want a truly hardcore experience, you can check the "One Life Mode" option when starting a new save. Once selected, characters will be permanently lost upon death."You must dare to take risks, for life will eventually pass." – NietzschePS: One Life Mode is available across all three difficulties.2. Hard Mode Compared to Casual and Normal modes, Hard Mode features the same mechanics aside from numerical differences. It is designed primarily to provide veteran players with a greater challenge. Upon clearing Hard Mode, the Red Fox Prince and Son of the Gods will unlock their corresponding skins.II. Bug FixesFixed an issue in the Compass Labyrinth where the extra drop from the Golden Pointer was not working.Fixed an issue where characters could still be upgraded after death.Fixed an issue where clicking on Equipment Collection did not take effect in a timely manner.Removed the 8x speed option due to compatibility issues on some devices causing various unknown bugs.Fixed the incorrect 24‑hour display on Badge Quests, Silver Dragon Quests, and Material Quests.Fixed an issue where invisible characters could still be targeted by single‑target attacks.T...
