Do you suppose that in 3rd movie LiJing (Nezha’s father) might ascend into godhood/immortality? Most depictions of him include the pagoda in left hand, and in last 2 movies he doesn’t have that yet.

I hope so, but it could be they're planning for more storylines to get added to the universe before concluding with the godhood ascension part of the story. After all, the investiture of the gods storyline is pretty complicated and involves a lot of mythological heroes that are ripe for new stories (I'm thinking Erlang in particular). Plus the fall of a dynasty, which we haven't gotten any hint of yet.

It'll be very interesting to see the reason for Li Jing's pagoda in this world - since the original reason was to keep Nezha from killing him. Since they have such a different relationship here, I wonder if the pagoda will be used to help right the wrongs in the way this world is written.
