The highly anticipated Chinese anime Against the Gods (Donghua adaptation of the novel by Mars Gravity) has just unveiled character design sketches for Cang Yue, one of its leading figures. As production for this year-round animation series reaches new heights, fans can expect even more exciting updates soon!
A Tale of Revenge and Rebirth in Against the Gods
In the world of Cangyun Continent, Yun Gu, known as the “Holy Healer” of Cloud Valley, possessed a legendary artifact called the Sky Poison Pearl—one of the Seven Supreme Heavenly Treasures. This treasure drew the greed and envy of powerful enemies, leading to Yun Gu’s brutal murder. Determined to avenge his master, Yun Che took the Sky Poison Pearl and embarked on a path of vengeance, leaving devastation in his wake. Cornered at Dead Cloud Cliff by countless adversaries, Yun Che chose to defy fate: he swallowed the Sky Poison Pearl and leapt to his death.
However, an unknown power brought his consciousness across time and space, awakening him in the body of Xiao Che, a youth in the Floating Cloud City of the Profound Sky Continent.
Born with crippled profound veins, Xiao Che was ridiculed as worthless and endured endless humiliation. Yet, due to a family arrangement, he married Xia Qingyue, the city’s most beautiful woman, who had been taken in as a disciple by the prestigious Ice Cloud Palace. On their wedding day, jealousy drove Xiao Yulong to poison Xiao Che. Against all odds, Yun Che’s soul merged with Xiao Che’s body, bringing him back to life.
Now living a second life, Xiao Che discovered that the soul of a mysterious and powerful girl named Jasmine resided within the Sky Poison Pearl. With Jasmine’s guidance, he began his journey to rise against the heavens, defying the forces that had once sought to destroy him.
