Set 3,000 years after the original Fengshen Yanyi (Investiture of the Gods), Nezha’s soul has been reincarnated into Li Yunxiang, a young mechanic and underground racer in Donghai City — a neon-drenched, water-scarce metropolis split between rich and poor.
When he accidentally kills the son of the powerful Dragon King (Ao Guang), Yunxiang becomes the target of the clan. As his Nezha powers awaken, he must learn to control the Wind Fire Wheels, Fire-Tipped Spear, and his signature flaming rage — before the Dragon King destroys everyone he loves.

The film opens in Donghai City, a sprawling metropolis ruled by corrupt oligarchs, triads, and colonial-era technology—think The Legend of Korra meets Blade Runner with a Taoist twist. We meet Li Yunxiang, a poor motorcycle courier who scrapes by delivering mysterious packages for the De family, the city’s de facto rulers. Yunxiang is cocky, hot-headed, and surprisingly strong—traits that echo the original Nezha, who was born with superhuman powers. Worth watching for viewers interested in bold mythic
Unbeknownst to him, Yunxiang carries the reincarnated spirit of Nezha: a primordial demon-god sealed within a reincarnation pearl. As the story unfolds, he discovers that the De family is controlled by a dragon clan—the same dragons Nezha defeated three thousand years ago. Their patriarch, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, now rules Donghai as an industrial tycoon, using a mystical mechanical construct to drain the city’s life force.
With the help of a rogue doctor (a reincarnated Taiyi Zhenren in steampunk goggles) and a young woman named Kasha (a descendant of the dragon clan seeking redemption), Yunxiang learns to control his fire-tipped lance, his Wind Fire Wheels, and his ultimate form: the three-headed, six-armed avatar of Nezha. The climax sees a spectacular battle across the skyscrapers of Donghai, where Yunxiang must choose between saving himself or burning down the corrupt system that enslaves the poor.
