The Latest Update Features
The latest update will bring a brand-new area, Exalting Sanctum’s previously bustling commercial hub “Aurum Alley,” a Simulated Universe major update, as well as the highly anticipated characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Fuxuan, and Lynx into the game! Furthermore, the Trailblaze Power cap will be enhanced, allowing players to store surplus power, leading to more thrilling adventures and challenges.

Now, as the dust settles, the major part of the recovery effort is to help people get their lives back on track. In Version 1.3, a new area called Aurum Alley emerges, eagerly awaiting a much-needed revitalization. Trailblazers can weigh in by employing strategic logistics planning and efficient cargo organization to shape the alley’s destiny back to its former glory.
