In this study, we explore the dynamics of entanglement in an ensemble of qutrits with a lambda-type level structure interacting with single-mode bosons. Our investigation focuses on zero-energy states within the subspace of totally symmetric wave functions. Remarkably, we observe a universal two-stage dynamics of entanglement with intriguing revival behavior. The revival of entanglement is a consequence of the self-purification process, where the quantum state relaxes and converges universally to a special dark state within the system.
