Dear Guardian Lord, 

 In order to ensure a better experience, the game will be updated at 09:00 on December 01, 2022 (GMT+8). The update is expected to take 30 minutes. During this time, you will not be able to login to the game. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. 

What's New: 

New Features

1. Bond Spell: New powerful spells arrived! 7 new Bond Spells are introduced with this update: Persistent Dominance, Show of Power, Eliminate Demons, Fanning the Flames, Quirky, Doushuai True Dharma and Form is Nothingness. 

Bond Spells are spells created by the combination of multiple heroes. To activate a Bond Spell, the shards of the specified hero and the shards of any legendary hero must reach the required amount. Each Bond Spell can be upgraded, the higher the level, the more powerful it is!

Notes: 

1) Bond Spells are available when you reach level 100.

2) You may access Bond Spells from [Spells] in the upper right corner of your screen. 

2. Homeland Invitation: A new event is added to Homeland! You may unlock this feature when your Favorability with a hero reaches level 8, and have unlocked a certain area (such as bedroom, living room, etc.). If you have already unlocked this feature, you may trigger random invitations in your Homeland and receive visit request letters from heroes. After accepting them, you will be able to interact with the heroes you invited.

The hidden places that may trigger invitation need to be explored on you own. After successful invitations, heroes will appear in your Homeland and can be interacted with.

Currently only a limited number of heroes can trigger the invitation: 

[Celestial Realm] The Emperor, Lord Erlang, Chang'e, The Empress, Matchmaker

[Holy Realm] Sun Wukong, Pigsy, Tang Monk

[Underworld] Lady White Bone, Yama, Mengpo, White Mouse, Thousand Hands
