The announcement board read as follows.
Official Announcement: The "Sword Forging Competition" would receive a major update without taking the servers offline. The Version 1.6 Update Log was as follows.
Heaven and Earth Reopened, the Great Biological Explosion, Nine-Sui's ascension—where was the Immortal Realm now?
This major update would optimize the following matters at the same time.
1. A new public-area map had been added: the Immortal Realm. Materials from other realms, including but not limited to immortal stones, had also been added.
2. A small number of bugs had been fixed.
3. Several known issues had been optimized.
4. This expansion would launch an idle mining mode in the Immortal Realm. Immortal Realm miners, come and dig!
5. The Daoist profession would receive a major update: the Golden Core Method and alchemy. Please explore the specific update contents yourselves.
6. With Heaven and Earth First Opened, the Progenitor system was about to go online. In the minigame "Big Fish Eats Small Fish," players could use three flowers to log in and possess the embers of a fish, continuously fuse and awaken, and ultimately become a progenitor of the sea race and rise to prominence.
The primordial divine beasts from the creation of the world would be yours to become! The specific evolution map was restricted to the Ten Thousand Fathom Abyss. Begin your evolutionary journey!
7. Premium characters had been made available, providing basic evolutionary ember prototypes: Kun, softshell turtle, and Nian Beast. A good starting foundation guaranteed your path of evolution. Begin with a Kun, rely entirely on devouring to evolve, have the Big Kun devour the Little Kun—growth depended entirely on swallowing.
A crowd gathered before the announcement board, shouting and clamoring as they heatedly discussed it.
