Although the Nine-tailed Fox was a youkai, she was actually fully qualified to be a god.
First of all, in a sense, she is a meritorious minister of the great cause of sealing the gods, if she had not confused the king of Tangjiangshan and corrupted into Tang Jiangshan, the king of Wu would not have been able to raise an army to cut down the gods, and the war of the gods would not have been carried out.
Secondly, the gods can only be canonized after the robbery, and the nine-tailed fox has died after the robbery. Because of confusing the King of Xi and instigating him to suppress Xiqi, she was pulled into the blacklist by Xiqi. When the Xiqi army approached the city, she was captured by the Xiqi generals and finally executed by Jiang Ziya.
We know that although there are various thresholds and rules for canonizing gods, and even mixed with human feelings, all those who have a deep background can be canonized, but there is no racial discrimination.
As long as anyone who should be robbed meets the qualifications of a god, whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, even a demon, he can be canonized as a god. Among the three hundred and sixty-five true gods sealed by Jiang Ziya, many of them were demons who should be robbed.
Therefore, since the Nine-tailed Fox Daji had the qualifications to be a god, she could be completely canonized by Jiang Ziya.
But as you know, the Nine-Tailed Fox has not been canonized by Jiang Ziya.
After she was executed by Jiang Ziya, her soul was not guided to the Fengshen Platform, and naturally she could not enjoy the treatment of being a canonized god, and in Jiang Ziya's list of canonized gods, there was indeed no name for the nine-tailed fox.
So, why did the Nine-Tailed Fox obviously have the qualifications to be a god, but he was not canonized by Jiang Ziya?
Some people believe that the Nine-Tailed Fox did not deserve to die at all, because Jiang Ziya was not the Nine-tailed Fox himself who was executed, but the real One. The nine-tailed fox had always been possessed by Dai Ji, and when Jiang Ziya executed her, he immediately escaped, leaving Dai Ji's body to be beheaded.
This statement seems to have some truth, but it does not conform to the original work. The ninety-seventh time in the original work clearly mentions that after Jiang Ziya beheaded the nine-tailed fox, "where she has never been charming, she has become a nanke with blood", which means that the nine-tailed fox has died in Huangquan.
The reason why the Nine-tailed Fox Daji was not sealed by Jiang Ziya was from the words that Lady Niangniang had summoned the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb and said to the Nine-tailed Fox Daji.
At that time, the King of Lu disrespected Lady Niangniang, and Lady Niangniang was furious, and originally planned to execute The King of Qiu for The Way of Heaven, but when he pinched his finger, he found that the King of Qiu still had twenty-eight years of luck, so he summoned the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, such as the Nine-tailed Fox, the Pheasant Essence, and the Pipa Essence, and gave them an important task, that is, to confuse the King of Qiu and corrupt the Tang Jiangshan.
In order to improve the enthusiasm of the nine-tailed fox and other three demons, the queen also personally promised: "You three demons can hide their demon form, support themselves in the palace, and confuse the king's heart; the king of Qiwu cuts the silk to help succeed, and must not harm sentient beings." When it is done, it will make you wait for the right result. “
Therefore, if the Nine-tailed Fox Lady had successfully completed the tasks assigned by Lady Nuwa, would she not just be a god? It's about achieving the right results. In the world of gods, the so-called achievement of positive results is to attain the incarnation of immortality.
Attaining the incarnation of immortality is obviously more promising than the conferring of the gods. Because according to the character setting of the world of the gods, "those who have deep roots are immortals, and those who have shallow roots are gods", the root lines of immortals are higher than gods, and their status is naturally higher than that of gods. This is also the reason why the disciples of the Interception Sect are reluctant to canonize the gods, because they were originally immortals, and once they were canonized, they were tantamount to demotion.
Then, why didn't the Nine-tailed Fox become an immortal, and even enjoy the treatment of a god?
The reason is simple, she did not successfully complete the task. What is a successful completion of the task? It not only corrupted the Tang Dynasty and promoted the development of the great cause of the gods, but at the same time did not hurt the innocent, as the Nuwa Niangniang said, "The king of Qiwu cut down the silk to help succeed, and not to harm all sentient beings."
Obviously, although the Nine-tailed Fox had fulfilled the requirements of corrupting Tang Jiangshan and helping the King of Wu to cut down the forest, he did not adhere to the bottom line of "not harming sentient beings".
Since the Nine-tailed Fox had already harmed all sentient beings, Lady Nuwa would certainly not let her become an immortal. A demon who was abandoned by the lady of the house, Jiang Ziya naturally would not give her a god.
