After the Battle of the Gods ended, Jiang Ziya presided over the Enthronement of the Gods. Among the 365 righteous gods he conferred, there was a very special person, and he was King Zhou, the head of the Yin Shang Group.
King Zhou was named Tianxixing by Jiang Ziya. Tianxixing’s priesthood is not high, he is just an ordinary star god, but the reason why King Zhou is special is because he is the biggest villain in the world of the Gods.
We know that when King Zhou went to Nuwa Palace to worship Nuwa Niangniang , he was attracted by the worldly appearance of the statue of Nuwa , and even wrote a frivolous poem in Nuwa Palace, two of which are: But if the enchanting Rao can act, marry Changle to serve the king.
Nuwa was furious when she learned about it. She planned to do the way to get rid of King Zhou, but after counting on her fingers, she found that he was not exhausted. So she summoned the nine-tailed fox and other three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, transformed into a beauty and sneaked into the palace of the Shang Dynasty, confused King Zhou, corrupted King Tang, and helped King Wu defeat Zhou .
King Zhou "remains what he hopes". Under the confusion of the Nine-tailed Fox and others, he becomes increasingly stupid and acts against the rules, and the people complain. King Wu takes the opportunity to raise an army and attack Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, King Zhou burned himself to death.
So some people are curious, as a foolish and unjust king of the country, King Zhou was already kind to God when he was in hell, so why could he be named the gods by Jiang Ziya?
Some people believe that there is an important standard for the enthronement of the gods, that is, the background, and anyone with prominent background can be qualified to enthrone the gods. King Zhou is a descendant of Xuanyuan, and Emperor Xuanyuan was set as a saint of heaven in the world of the Gods and was one of the three saints of Huoyun Palace. Therefore, King Zhou also has a prominent background and can naturally be enthroned by the Gods.
background is indeed an important criterion for the creation of gods. However, not all those with prominent backgrounds can be awarded gods, such as the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit.
Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is a personal disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master. In terms of background, she is not as good as King Zhou; in terms of cultivation, she is far above King Zhou, because she has cultivated into Daluo Jinxian . However, after she was in the disaster, she was not listed on the list of gods and was named gods by Jiang Ziya.
The reason why King Zhou, as the biggest villain, was still able to be named god by Jiang Ziya. We can see the clues from King Wu’s words.
In the 96th chapter of the original work, Jiang Ziya led the coalition of princes to attack Chaoge, and King Zhou personally led the army to fight. The battle was extremely fierce, "the murderous aura was blocked by the air, and the smoke and dust blocked the mountains. The 800 princes were ranked, and the earth was overturned in a while," but the result was somewhat unexpected.
book says, "King Zhou's sword is like a flying dragon, chopping the generals and hurting the army like snowflakes, chopping the princes is like a child's play, killing the generals and crying and being shocked." After the war, Jiang Ziya counted the number of people, and the princes' army actually lost as many as 26 generals and officials of all sizes, and even Nanbo Hou Eshun was killed by King Zhou.
King Zhou won the first battle. However, the princes' army was large after all, and during the battle, King Zhou was unfortunately injured. He was beaten by Dongbo Hou and injured his back by Jiang Wenhuan, and retreated in a panic.
Learning that King Zhou was injured, King Wu's performance was surprising. He actually said to the princes: "Today's fierce battle has greatly lost the status of the king and the ministers. Mr. Jiang hurt the master again, which made me feel very unbearable."
King Wu's words are enough to show that in the world of gods, he attaches great importance to status. No matter how foolish and incompetent King Zhou is, he is also a king and must give him due respect.
This is probably the reason why King Zhou was able to be a god. Although he is the biggest villain in the world of god creation, he is the king of a country after all. He cannot let him fall into the cycle of reincarnation like an ordinary mortal who responds to the disaster. Of course, he cannot be too cheap. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun instructed Jiang Ziya to sign him as the ordinary star god Tianxi Star.
