At the same time, a world announcement echoed, heralding the arrival of a new era:
[World Announcement: Old Soil version 1.4.3—Doomsday Echo, officially launched.
The doomsday bell has tolled; the disaster that will destroy all has finally arrived, and an unknown terrifying shadow envelops Jiuzhou World.]
[The first stage of Doomsday Echo is officially online, with details as follows:]
[1. Spiritual Decay Frenzy: As the world's primal spiritual energy accelerates its decay, all monster factions across the Nine States begin showing large-scale 'spiritual decay' phenomena. Monsters experiencing spiritual decay lose their sanity and fall into a state of complete frenzy; their attack desire and attack power increase substantially, and their appearance will distort due to spiritual energy depletion.]
