Against the Gods

After a three-year silence, the Guoman (国漫) series Against the Gods (逆天邪神) finally launched its long-awaited Nian Fan (年番) season today. The platform iQiyi dropped the first three episodes at once, kicking off a 52-episode run that updates every Thursday. No more anxious waiting for fans.

Unlike the first season, this yearly edition promises non-stop action and emotional depth, keeping viewers hooked for twelve months. The New Season Adapted from Mars Gravity’s popular fantasy novel, the new season picks up right after the Cang Feng (苍风) Ranking Battle. Yun Che no longer fights alone. He teams up with companions to explore a secret zone called the Hidden Realm. There, he slowly pieces together his true origins—secrets that powerful enemies want buried. The show does not rush these revelations. Instead, it lets each clue land with weight, making the mystery feel real and urgent. What makes this season different?
