New Themed Mode: Golden Dynasty
New Map Areas
lGilded Palace:
A millennium ago, this palace was the imperial residence of the Golden Dynasty. Perched atop a floating island, it features grand halls and tranquil oasis courtyards. The passage of time has reduced its grounds to crumbling ruins, but through the mysterious influence of temporal power, the palace has been restored to its golden era from a thousand years ago. The Gilded Palace's mysteries await your discovery!
1.Islands Above & Below: Two floating islands hover above and below, forming an hourglass shape. Players can choose which island to land on.
