What happens

Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force is a 2025 Chinese epic fantasy film directed by Wuershan. The sequel to Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms, it is the second film in the trilogy, adapted from the 16th-century fantasy novel Investiture of the Gods by Ming dynasty author Xu Zhonglin. Following the ascension of the tyrannical King Zhou of the Shang dynasty in the first film, Demon Force depicts the city of Xiqi's defense against a siege by the Shang army. The film premiered on 29 January 2025, coinciding with Chinese New Year, with a wide release starting on 31 January. It received generally positive reviews from critics, though it only grossed $169 million, less than half of what the first film had made. In April 2025, production company Beijing Culture announced that a sequel, Creation of the Gods III, was in post-production. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
