Originally, a fierce rich man with a broken family was an indispensable element in the hero theme. He grew up with a blacksmith, which continued his fighting ability and was also a foreshadowing later.
Next, a shooting star changed his fate, that shooting star should be the incarnation of God, I think. So he and the Queen of Iceland (the daughter of God), inherited the power of God.
The screenwriter asked him to kill the fire dragon guarding Longgen's treasure. This led him to restore the honor of the nobility, and he took refuge in a cowardly king and a very powerful hero (in Greek epics, such a person is also a hero).
Then there's a woman doing a wrong thing for her feelings, then the reward for being blinded, and then the ending.

From the beginning, I can't see any mythological origin of this movie. If you like deification, you should watch the opera version.
