It is generally believed that although Fahai has the potential to become an immortal, it is not the reincarnation of a god. This was also the reason why he finally fell into the Demon Dao, because he was only a human, a little more Huigen than ordinary people, but he was not the reincarnation of a god, so his cultivation into an immortal was still a little worse.

Fahai is not a reincarnation of a god, not even a demon or anything like that, so even a snake demon can get the opportunity to collect tears to become a god, but Fahai must exorcise demons and eliminate disasters for the human world, so that he can make his own Path rise. Fahai is not a reincarnation, just an ordinary person, but he has talent, and some people call this "born with wisdom roots." He spent his whole life slaying demons for everyone, because he had sincerity in his heart, so he was deeply valued by the Buddha, and the possibility of becoming an immortal was still very great. Unfortunately, his last heart was confused by himself, his heart was not right, and he fell into the magic path. He did not become a "fairy", but became a "demon".
However, some people have raised different opinions, believing that Fahai is not an ordinary person, but the reincarnation of the snake god. This idea is explained in many netizens' own posts or blogs. The most specific is probably the after-view feeling of a certain movie "Green Snake", in which it is said that the sea is the reincarnation of a certain snake god, noting that it is a "god", although it is the same as Bai Suzhen, but it is not a "demon". There is a reason in the article, as well as various screenshots and author analysis of the screen, which makes people feel that they have grown knowledge after reading it.
There are many opinions about what reincarnation Fahai is. Anyway, he was just a film and television character, and during the Tang Dynasty, he was a living person; After that, it is a character image, serving the editor, saying that he is who he is.
Fahai and Bai Suzhen
The story of Fahai and Bai Suzhen comes from one of the four major folk myths and legends in China - the legend of the White Snake, also known as the legend of the White Lady and the legend of Leifeng Pagoda. It tells the story of a white snake who has been cultivating for 1500 years to come to the human world to repay the life-saving grace of the past, and meets and falls in love with Xu Xian, but is obstructed by Fahai in every way.

Bai Suzhen was originally a snake spirit who was cultivating in Mount Emei, but was rescued by a shepherd boy from the hands of a snake catcher in 1700 years ago, and accidentally stole 6 immortal elixirs given to the monk Fahai by the heavens, causing him to lose 600 years of cultivation, and the two became a hatred. After 1700, Bai Suzhen, who was in order to repay the favor, met Xu Xian in the West Lake, the little shepherd boy who had saved himself, who fell in love with him and became connected with him. She did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to become an immortal, committed herself to an ordinary man in the world, and worked with him to heal the people. After a thousand years, the former little monk Fahai has long become a famous taoist monk of the Golden Mountain Temple, and in order to avenge the theft of the elixir in that year, he repeatedly provoked the relationship between Bai Suzhen and his wife, forced Xu Xian to stay in the Golden Mountain Temple to make him a monk, and forced Bai Suzhen to violate the Heavenly Rules. At this time, Bai Suzhen was pregnant, in order to save her husband, she still climbed the Golden Mountain Temple without hesitation, pleaded bitterly and fruitlessly, mobilized all the water tribes, flooded the golden mountain, and vowed to compete with Fahai, and it was expected that tens of thousands of innocent towns of Jiang people would fall into disaster, and finally Fahai would be crushed under the Lei Feng Tower. Fahai suffered a lot because of his personal vendetta, and Fahai also lost the opportunity to rank in the Immortal Class and meditate at the Golden Mountain Temple.
Fahai and Bai Suzhen are both a pursuit of their own obsession, one is enlightened and cannot be achieved, one is looking for love without results, it can be said that they are tragic characters, and people have been praising it for thousands of years, perhaps this is the best expression of human beings' pursuit of perfection.
