Announcement Release 261 Patchnote - Shadow of the Immortals

Shadow of the Immortals Patchnotes



Theme and Plot

Shadow Corruption
This spiritual corruption, which originally occurred in the Immortal Realm, gradually reacted with the environment of this plane, ultimately giving rise to a curse known as Shadow Erosion. All beings entering the Immortal Realm will be affected by it.​

Nefaraya
Some immortals combined ancient dragon mage sorcery to create the World Tree species, planting it in a secret location in the Immortal Realm and utilizing its powerful life force to protect against the erosion of the Shadow. By defeating various mutated monsters in the Immortal Realm and collecting Immortal Life Essence to nourish the World Tree, it can grow vigorously. As a result, the protected lifeforms will gain stronger blessings and be less affected by the Shadow Curse's corruption.​
