“Apotheosis Season 3” (百炼成神3) continues the epic cultivation journey of Luo Zheng, adapting the next major arcs from the bestselling light novel Apotheosis – Ascension to Godhood. Directed by Zhou Shaobo, written by Wang Zehao, and produced in collaboration with Qing Xiang Animation, the third season premieres on December 9, 2025, with a total of 52 episodes.
Following the emotional events of earlier seasons, Luo Zheng ascends into the Upper Realm, sparking a new chapter filled with divine trials, cosmic conspiracies, and powerful enemies. His ultimate goal remains unchanged—reviving his beloved Ning Yudie—but the path ahead is more treacherous than ever. As the Heavenly Feathers and the Celestial Nests turn against each other, Luo Zheng stands between collapsing alliances and ancient forces awakening in the shadows.
Season 3 explores multiple major story arcs, including the Lingxiao Continent Arc, the Ascension Dragon Clan Arc, the Sacred Sea Trial Arc, the True Dragon Showdown Arc, the Chenghai Conference Arc, the Cosmic Defense Arc, the Gate of Divinity Arc, and the God-Refining Battlefield Arc. With expanded worldbuilding, intensified divine combat sequences, and deeper emotional stakes, Luo Zheng faces the destiny of becoming the chosen one of the universe—only to discover that a death fate beyond heaven’s control is already closing in.
With upgraded animation, returning cast members Zhang Pei, Wang Bingtian, Zhang Ruoyu, Liu Wen, Luan Xiangjin, and more, Apotheosis Season 3 delivers a thrilling continuation of one of China’s most popular cultivation sagas. Fans can expect higher stakes, stronger realms, massive battles, romance tensions, and Luo Zheng’s final step toward divine ascension.
