Whats pangu's heart? Is it the battle pass system or what is it? As far as I know was Pangu's heart implemented with with the seal the sky update. I looked recently back into the thread, cause there was something I needed to confirm and found it in the patch files from the chinese server. But all we got is battle pass. So this is going to change with this update too? Or is it the "Ask the sky for fate" feature?

Pangu's Heart is a new feature introduced in the update of the east continent(after bard class).
In the new continent we get soul consciousness (basically a new vitae) to level up the Heart of Pangu, to do this we need dailies, we get attributes doing this but there are padlocks to continue the Heart of Pangu evolution, each padlock costs 200kk and some materials. In this new area we also get the horcruxes(relics) a new equipment that we get by doing the daily quest or buying from other players, this new item can be purchased/sold only by gold(cash), to be able to equip these relics we must unlock the padlocks, there are 5 padlocks each of them represent to a different level of horcrux, this means when we unlock the first padlock we get the daily quest to get the horcrux lv1, like in homestead we must choose 1 mastery of 5 then all our daily quest will always rewards us with that specific piece of relic, the difference is that that piece will come to a random race, for example if you choose "bell", your daily quest will reward you with earthguard bell or nightshade bell or human bell etc. Each new region will have a new set of relics, when you equip the first region relic set will allow you to use the Pangu Skill if you learned it (you will get the book in this new continent doing some activity) the relics also have attibutes, the main attribute and secondary attributes (it's very similar to gacha games like Genshin Impact or Star Rail) you will consume other relics to increase its level up to +20, each level the main attribute increases and each 4 levels a random secondary attribute will increase (if the relic doesn't have 4 secondary attributes then it will get a new secondary attribute rather than increasing a random attribute, so it's recommended invest in relics with 4 secondary atributes) so we will have attributes obtained from leveling up the heart of Pangu(a new vitae we can say) and unlocking the padlocks and from the relics
About the daily quest, the quest to obtain relics level 1 is easy, the quest level 2 to obtain relics level 2 requires a relic level 1 to complete it, the quest level 3 to obtain a relic level3 require a relic level 2 to complete it and so on, this means that if everybody is doing just the quest to get the relic level 5 they won't be able to complete it if there's nobody selling the relic level 4 then people won't be able to complete the daily quest(this means we'll need people farming and selling all levels of relics, if there's no one selling a level 1 relic then people doing the daily level 2 won't be able to complete it, and then people doing the daily level 3 won't be able to complete it too, and so on), other thing about the daily quest it's that it asks for a specific relic of a specific race, for example "untamed bell"
they said many more regions will come to this continent and more relic sets will come bringing also new pangu skills, since there will be more pangu relic sets I believe there will be more Heart of Pangu to level up
I believe just reading it's hard to understand so much info so i will put some images with some explanation

This is the main interface of Heart of Pangu, in the text above we see the name of the city which makes me believe new cities of this continent will have the same interface to level up
the padlocks cost 200kk to open, to increase the exp(vitae) to this system we must do quests and then we get attributes, each padlock also represent the relics, firsts padlock unlocks daily quest to obtain relic level 1, second padlock unlocks daily quest to obtain relics level 2 and so on, the Heart of Pangu goes from level 0 up to level 100


Here the attributes from lv 100 Heart of Pangu
from top to bottom: HP, PAtk,MAtk,PDef,MDef,Atk Lv,Def Lv,Spirit


Here's when we choose the mastery, there are 5 kinds of equipment and must choose one, from daily quests we will always get just this kind of piece however the race will be random, to be able to unlock the use of Pangu skill we must have at least 4 pieces from our race(the pieces must be different pieces, 4 bells for example won't work, we need 4 different pieces) the materials above are required to unlock the padlock, we get them from harvesting the fields and killing boss/mob, in the future we will have an option to exchange daily resources for these materials as well, so weaker people won't need to deal with bosses and their mechanics


probably if you already played Genshin Impact you're familiar with "collecting a magic stone around the map and leveling up the statue to redeem rewards" it's basically the same here, the last rewards it's what this image is about, we get the pangu skill book, if learn this book and have 4 pieces of relics of our race we can use the pangu skill



Here the slots of the relics of the first constellation/region



Here the relics equipped in the slots, at right we can see the total attributes we're getting(it's random depending in your luck with relics), we can see also in green letters that the pangu skill can be used if we learned the book. The 4 pieces must be for our race other way the set bonus won't activate


In order to level up the relics up to +20 we must consume other relics
each level the main attribute increases
each 4 levels we get one new secondary attribute up to 4 secondary attributes(if you have luck you can get a relic with 4 attributes in the moment you obtain it) if you have 4 attributes already then one random attribute will increase


This is the consignment shop for relics, the sell/buy is just with gold(cash) and these relics won't appear in the normal inventory, just in a special interface


Here the pieces of relic and the possible attributes



Here an example of a horcrux and its random attributes


This will be a new kind of farming since people will need relics to complete daily quests, increase its exp to reach +20 and use them for both, activate pangu skill and get good attributes, this last one will make them super valuable if you have luck and get excellent attributes, if you level up the relic and the best secondary attributes are the ones that increase when leveling it(like spirit, attack level, defense level and attack) then the value will be even higher
