According to the setting of "The Evolution of the Gods", after the gods are sealed, they can be ranked in the heavenly court and become the gods respected by all people, is this not a good thing? What is strange is that the cultivators in the world of fengshen are often reluctant to canonize gods, especially the disciples who intercept the sect, and they are afraid of avoiding the gods.
Originally, Hongjun Laozu once said, "Those who have shallow roots are gods, and those who have deep roots are immortals", which shows that in the world of gods, the status of immortals is higher than that of gods.
Most of the cultivators in the Fengshen World have already attained the incarnation of Immortals, and some have even reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Holy Realms, and they are only one step away from the transcendent and holy, what does it mean to them to be enshrined? From immortals to gods, hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation were lost, so at a loss, the cultivators naturally avoided it.
On the contrary, the attitude of mortal warriors towards the gods, they are full of expectations for the gods, but unfortunately the list of mortals on the list of gods is limited, why is this?
The reason is very simple, no matter how low the status of gods is, it is far above ordinary mortals, how can they refuse to be canonized? Just as the qipin county order is no matter how low the level, it is also a parent official, who holds the administrative power of a county, and the imperial court officials may not look up to it, but ordinary officials can dream of it.
However, not all mortals in the fengshen world aspire to be a god, and there is a mortal who is reluctant to be a god, and even has little interest in becoming a immortal.
This mortal was the head of the Yin Shang Group. Why didn't king Yun want to be a god? Although the throne is noble, the mortal emperor is like a primary school student seeing a teacher in front of the gods who are high above.
In mythological stories, no matter how domineering the emperor, even if he sees the lowest-ranking god, he must pay homage to it reverently, and even kneel down to pay homage, how can the mortal emperor be compared to the gods?
But in fact, the status of mortal emperors in the Fengshen World was higher than that of the Heavenly Gods, and even higher than most of the Heavenly Immortals. This can be seen from Yun Zhongzi's visit to the King of Lu and the attitude of the King of Lu.
Yun Zhongzi was a disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Golden Immortal Xiu Wei, the Great Luo Golden Immortal Strength, and the Journey to the West, equivalent to the Emperor-level Heavenly Immortal. When a celestial immortal of such a high status visited the King of Lu, shouldn't the King of Lu personally go out of the palace to greet him and pay the most sincere respect to Yun Zhongzi?
However, the fact is that the King of Yun neither went out of the palace to greet him, nor did he pay tribute to Yun Zhongzi, so he sat majestically on the throne and entertained Yun Zhongzi like a subordinate, but instead Yun Zhongzi, with the dignity of a golden immortal, made a salute to a mortal emperor of the King of Yun.
However, the king was not flattered, but a little angry. Why get angry? He said in his heart: "On the shore of the land, you can't be a king, although your cloud son is outside the square, you are also within the map of decay, which is really abominable!"
The fact that the King of Yunzhongzi actually regarded yunzhongzi Daxian as a subject under his rule showed the high status of the mortal emperors during the fengshen period!
Then, why was the status of mortal emperors so high during the period of the gods? All this was related to the pattern of the Three Realms at that time.
We know that it was the Tianting Group that ruled the Three Realms during the Journey to the West, however, during the Fengshen Period, the Tianting Group was still in the initial stage, and various departments were in urgent need of talents, so the strength of the Tianting Group was limited and could not effectively rule the Three Realms, so the Three Realms were in a situation of independent government.
The mortal world was naturally not subject to the jurisdiction of the heavenly court, and at best it only belonged to the heavenly court in name, so the authority of the mortal emperor at that time was extremely high, and he was called the "human king". The king of man is the lord of the mortal world, and everything in the world, including the gods and immortals of the mortal world, belongs to the rule of the king of man.
Since the status of the human king was so high, even the heavenly immortals had to bow down to the subjects, and the king of Qiu certainly did not want to be a god. After being canonized, he not only greatly reduced his status, but also accepted the rule of the Haotian God.
