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.
