Donghua Alternate Titles and Season Numbers Explained: Soul Land 2, Swallowed Star, Doupo Cangqiong and More
A fan looking for "Combat Continent 2 episode 176" and a fan looking for "Soul Land 2: The Peerless Tang Sect episode 176" want the same thing. So does anyone typing "Doupo Cangqiong". Donghua titles travel through translation, pinyin and fan shorthand, which creates a pile of names for a single show. This guide lists the aliases and numbering differences we found on October 24, 2026, across six donghua sites, so you can search once and find what you want.
Why one show has so many names
- Pinyin versus English. A Chinese title is written in Latin letters (pinyin) and also translated, and translations differ.
- Platform names. The licensed English release and the fan sites often use different titles.
- Season numbering. A site may count a new run as a new season, while another continues the old numbering.
- Overall episode counts. Long series show a second number in brackets, such as episode 39 [471].

| A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality | A Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Fanren Xiu Xian Zhuan (one site spells it Chuan) | 凡人修仙传 |
| The Demon Hunter | Azure Legacy, Chang Yuan Tu | 沧元图 |
| A Will Eternal | I Will Eternal, Yi Nian Yong Heng | 一念永恒 |
| Spare Me, Great Lord! | Please Spare, My Life, Dawang Raoming | 大王饶命 |
| Primeval Overlord | Ancient God Sovereign | |

Season numbers that do not match
These disagreements are real examples from the pages we read.
| Series | What different sites call the current run |
|---|---|
| Battle Through the Heavens | Season 5 on five sites, Doupo Cangqiong 7 on the Spanish site |
| A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality | Season 5 on two sites, season 6 on the Spanish site, season 3 in AnimeXin's page address |
| Swallowed Star | Season 3, 4 or 5, and simply episode 246 on another |
| Tales of Demons and Gods | Season 10 on most sites, Season 08 on one |
| The Great Ruler | Season 2 on one site, 3D on another |
| Wan Jie Du Zun | Plain title on one site, season 3 on another |
The practical lesson: never trust a season number alone. The overall episode count and the Chinese title are the stable identifiers.
Episode numbers with two values
Several sites print two numbers. "Episode 39 [471]" means episode 39 of the season and 471 overall. "Episode 31[100]" for The Demon Hunter, "Episode 44 [96]" for The Great Ruler, and "Episode 30[60]" for Against the Gods work the same way. When you ask a friend where they stopped, use the overall number.
How to find a series in any app or site
- Try the English title you know first.
- If nothing appears, try the pinyin title.
- Try the Chinese characters. They never vary.
- Search with the overall episode number, not the season.
- Open the episode and check that the story matches where you stopped.
Keeping your own watchlist clean
Write each series in one format: English name, pinyin in brackets, overall episode. For example: Battle Through the Heavens (Doupo Cangqiong), overall 216. You can then find it on any site and any app regardless of what it calls the season.
Using this with YumePlay
If you cannot find a series in the YumePlay app, try the pinyin or Chinese title before you give up. The app's library changes over time, so a title that is missing today may appear later. Get the app on Google Play, see what is airing in our October 2026 list and read our guide to donghua movies and their alternate names.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the same donghua have several English names?
English titles are translated by different groups and platforms, and each also uses Chinese pinyin and sometimes a numbered season that disagrees with other sites.
Are Doupo Cangqiong and Battle Through the Heavens the same show?
Yes. Doupo Cangqiong is the pinyin title and Battle Through the Heavens is the common English title. Sites also write it as BTTH.
How do I find the right episode if the numbers differ?
Search by the overall episode count and the Chinese title, then confirm the plot of the episode you open.
