The sequel, Demon Force, expands the Creation of the Gods saga, offering a more cohesive narrative. It features intriguing post-credit scenes, including a resurrected Yin Jiao seeking revenge, a decapitation twist between Wen Zhong and Shen Gongbao, and a connection between Yin Jiao and the Supreme Master of Golden Turtle Island. A teaser for Creation of the Gods III suggests that fans may need to wait until 2026 or 2027 for the next installment, following a significant filming period.
WARNING – The following article contains spoilers for ‘Creation of the Gods II’, including details about its conclusion and post-credit scenes. If you haven’t watched the film yet, please proceed with caution.
In the summer of 2024, France welcomed back the thrilling saga of Creation of the Gods! This time, audiences are treated to a sequel titled Demon Force, which is not only grander in scale but also more tightly woven than its predecessor, which occasionally lost its way despite its abundant charm.
If you were captivated by last year’s cinematic adventure, chances are you’ll find yourself equally enthralled this year and eager for more, especially during the tantalizing end credits. We have exciting news to share!
What Awaits in the Post-Credit Scenes?
This may seem trivial to some, but American blockbusters could learn a thing or two from this: as the credits for Creation of the Gods II roll, a notice in the top left corner of the screen encourages viewers to stay put for three additional scenes sprinkled throughout the credits. This lets audiences know what to expect, ensuring no one’s left waiting in vain.
The first post-credit scene introduces a resurrected Yin Jiao, who has regained his human form and is intent on avenging himself against his father, King Yin Shou. However, things take an unexpected turn: as he journeys forward, he catches a glimpse of his late mother playing a string instrument, compelling him to join in. This moment transports him right in front of the tyrant. But just as his thirst for vengeance, embodied as a blue giant with three busts and heads, seems within reach, he is interrupted by the Supreme Master of Golden Turtle Island, a legendary figure in Chinese lore, who arrives on a fire dragon, flanked by his disciples. And that’s all for now!
The second scene shifts focus to Wen Zhong, the Grand Preceptor of the Shang army (a historical dynasty tied to the saga through the fate of a fictional king). After facing defeat, he encounters the schemer Shen Gongbao, who is tasked with delivering his head to the king. In a twist of fate, both men manage to decapitate each other, but Shen survives thanks to his powers, allowing him to command troops headed towards the resilient city of Xiqi, which has already shown its strength in the film.
Finally, the third and final scene, which appears after the credits, reconnects us with both Yin Jiao and the Supreme Master of Golden Turtle Island, who extracts him from a pool of mercury to present him as his new pawn to Yin Shou and his malevolent companion Daji. And that wraps it up… for now.
Is a Sequel on the Horizon?
Absolutely! And you won’t have to wait long for the reveal, as a card reading Creation of the Gods III appears right after the last post-credit scene. Additionally, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the film’s release; the trilogy was filmed over 438 days across eighteen months, which has led to some swift and simplified comparisons with The Lord of the Rings—both feature intense battles, but Creation of the Gods incorporates more elements of history, mythology, and magic.
As of now, the subtitled film Creation Under Heaven does not have a confirmed release date in China or France. It’s likely that audiences may have to wait until 2026 or 2027 to uncover the conclusion of this saga, as there was a two-year gap between the first installments in their country of origin. So, be sure to savor this installment while it’s still in theaters!
