Granting Mortal God status is no simple matter.
Since ancient times, yin souls and demon spirits have communicated in dreams, demanding incense offerings from the people, each employing different methods.
Some are still considered decent, protecting the locals, even offering benefits like driving away pests or, like the Demon God of the Three Gorges, rescuing people in peril on the river…
Others deliberately bring disasters, only to eliminate them after being worshiped, thus deceiving the people for incense offerings…
Then there are those who directly force their demands, either creating storms or demanding blood sacrifices, offering boys and girls, which is also the origin of many demon legends…
During those ancient tumultuous times, such methods could succeed, but now, all rites of sacrifice are regulated by the court and the Proper Xuan Sect.
All of these are considered licentious worship.
