The saga continues with The Investiture of the Gods 2 封神英雄榜, a 72-episode TV series based on The Creation of the Gods, a 16th century Chinese novel. The story begins after the events of the great war as Shen Gong Bao and his villainous sidekicks resume their evil ways. Hence, Jiang Zi Ya must once again strategize for a final showdown against the Shang Dynasty.
Sammul Chan returns in the titular role of Jiang Zi Ya along with much of the cast except for Li Yi Xiao who replaces Viann Zhang (Border Town Prodigal) as the thousand years nine-tailed fox. Similar to the original, the series is a mindless affair of comedy and fantasy, kind of like your Saturday morning cartoons.
