Brand New Content
I. New Hero: Zenda Wu
She has no name and no memory, only Chaos Qi and a bow that never misses. She drifts through the world like smoke in search of answers.
The Wu speak to what lies beyond and trace all things to their source. In their village, hidden deep in Arbott's sinkhole, she found a hearth, a name, and something worth fighting for.
To keep that hearth burning, she will leave it behind. She will step into the rift and face the darkness that made her, with her bow drawn and ready.
History will not repeat itself.
II. New Weapon: Dual Flintlocks
The artificers of Lunazra have reforged the musket into compact dual-wielded form—now capable of alternating barrage fire or channeling devastating charged shots.
Alternate. Barrage. Detonate hidden flames. Now... heed the echoes of oblivion.
III. Rift Traversal New Chapter: River Runs Red
In the tenth year of the Shaoxing era, General Yue Fei routed the Jurchen army against impossible odds. Yet twelve golden tablets of decree arrived from the Emperor, commanding his retreat. The court clung to its fragile peace. Though he fought to turn the tide, he was undone by scheming ministers and imperial suspicion. As talks of surrender loom, the dream of reclaiming the north fades to nothing. But among the people, resentment still smolders, and dark undercurrents stir beneath the surface...

Once you enter Innerworld, there is no return. Choose wisely.
