About This Demo

Try Two Sects and Build Your Path to Ascension

All Night Ascension is a cultivation backpack auto-battler built around a three-layer Bagua board. Buy and collect treasures, combine methods, artifacts and materials, and prepare for your next battle within the board's limited space and your Divine Sense capacity.

This free demo includes Path to Ascension with two playable sects: Tianhe Sword Sect and Taiyue Qianji Gate. Prepare your build, hunt beasts, face duels and advance through cultivation realms. The expedition mode is still in development and is not included in this demo.

Choose What to Equip and Where to Place It

The board has separate layers for methods, artifacts and materials. A method's coverage, an artifact's element and position, and the effects of nearby materials all shape your build.

Try flying swords with Tianhe Sword Sect, or cannons and puppets with Taiyue Qianji Gate. Shops and encounters offer new parts for your build. Decide whether to strengthen your current strategy or change direction as you find treasures that work together. Exceeding your Divine Sense capacity reduces maximum health, so equipping more artifacts comes at a cost.

Automatic Battles, With Domain Timing in Your Hands

Artifacts act according to their cooldowns and trigger conditions. Duels pit your build against those left by other players in asynchronous battles, without requiring your opponent to be online at the same time. Watch the order of attacks and the outcome, then adjust your board for the next fight.

After reaching Divinity and acquiring a Domain, you choose when to cast it. A Domain must finish charging before use, and each side can cast once per battle. While both Domains are active, their effects that suppress the opponent cancel each other out; their effects that strengthen their own side remain active.

Choose a Breakthrough Route and Keep Testing Your Build

Begin at Qi Refining and progress through Foundation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul and Divinity. Major breakthroughs offer routes based on the Five Elements, each with different requirements and rewards. Prepare the required items and choose a route that fits your build.

After completing Five-Element Unity, you can enter Endless Duels to see how far your build can go.
