Patch Breakdown
What’s New in 1.0
Eight years in Early Access. Old saves can’t even carry over — nearly every system was rebuilt.
Three New Storylines
| Path | Theme | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Divine Flame | Sacrifice & rebirth | A major character burns away their life force to purify or destroy Xiangshu |
| Iron Plate | Righteous hero | Suppress corruption through discipline and order |
| Demonic | Embrace corruption | Play through as the villain as the world descends into chaos |
Path availability depends on your moral stance (benevolent / neutral / righteous / rebellious) built up early on. All 15 sects got updated or fully rewritten storylines tied into this structure.
