It’s not Season 3, but it’s at least something.
Bilibili released the teaser trailer for Heaven Official’s Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu‘s fourth short film which is titled “Cave of Ten Thousand Gods.” This short film marks the moment when Xie Lian, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin discover the cave in Mount Tonglu which is filled with thousands and thousands of statues. Xie Lian’s friends are horrified to see that Hua Cheng has been there every step of Xie Lian’s life and documented in the cave. Xie Lian asks Hua Cheng who his most beloved person is, to which Hua Cheng responds morosely that Xie Lian already knows, why ask? The god then asks Hua Cheng why he hasn’t ask him what he thinks.
A donghua adaptation was released in October 2020 with Haoliners Animation League helming the animation and production with Season 2’s animation team replaced by Red Dog Culture House. The second season released a few years later in October 2023. From then on, Heaven Official’s Blessing has only been releasing five to ten minute short films with no announcement of a third season in sight.
The first was released in February 2025 and depicts Xie Lian as a young Crown Prince of Xianle rescuing a young San Lang when he falls from a tall building. The second film was released in the same year and depicts one of the extras, when Xie Lian and Hua Cheng stroll around Ghost City and answer riddles. The third film was released in February 2026 and depicts another famous scene when Xie Lian and Hua Cheng kiss for the first time (underwater, no less!).
Based on Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s popular danmei series, Heaven Official’s Blessing follows an unlucky god named Xie Lian who was once a beloved prince among the mortals and god among the heavens. After being banished twice, Xie Lian has become the laughingstock of all three realms. When he ascends for an unprecedented third time, it turns the heavens upside down. With multiple palaces destroyed, Xie Lian now has to find some way to pay the damages but with no followers and therefore no power, he can’t do much except descend to the mortal realm to hunt down ghosts. There, he meets a mysterious red-robed young man who seems to know a lot about Xie Lian.
Crunchyroll streams the donghua on its platform. The novel can be read via Seven Seas Entertainment. The manhua of the donghua was released by Aloha Comics. The manhua, illustrated by STARember, only has 100 episodes and has since been seemingly discontinued. A release date for the fourth short film has not yet been revealed.
