We present a comprehensive analysis of the extended emission-line region (EELR) in the host galaxy of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz, utilizing Very Large Telescope (VLT)/MUSE integral-field spectroscopy. The high spatial-resolution data reveal a biconical emission structure approximately 3.7 kpc in scale within the galactic center, characterized by a prominent [O III] line in the nucleus and significant [N II] line emission extending into the EELR. Spectral analysis of the EELR indicates line ratios consistent with Seyfert ionization in the center and LINER-type ionization in the outer diffuse region, suggesting ionization from galactic nuclear activity. The required ionizing luminosity, estimated from the Hα and Hβ luminosities based on the photoionization and recombination balance assumption, is 10^41.8 erg s^–1 for all spaxels classified as active galactic nucleus (AGN), and 10^40.7 erg s^–1 for spaxels in the central 0.9 kpc Seyfert region. However, the current bolometric luminosity of the nucleus L_bol ≤ 10^40.8 erg s^–1, estimated from quiescent-state soft X-ray observations, is insufficient to ionize the entire EELR, implying a recently faded AGN or a delayed response to historical activity. Stellar population analysis reveals a poststarburst characteristic in the EELR, and the gas kinematics show disturbances and noncircular components compared to the stellar kinematics. Notably, the recent detection of quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs) in the X-ray light curve of AT2019qiz confirms the TDE-QPE association. Our findings provide direct evidence for an AGN-like EELR in the host galaxy of the nearest TDE with QPE detection, offering new insights into the complex interplay between TDEs, QPEs, AGN activity, and host-galaxy evolution.
