Jiang Ziya's list of gods, why is Shang Zhouwang the first person?

Objectively speaking, in fact, Shang Zhouwang's life was not all cruel, heartless and incompetent. Shang Zhouwang made a lot of contributions in the early stage and gained a lot of benefits for the people. He was a very wise king of SHEN WOO in his early days, at least not as fatuous and cruel as the world said.

The world described him as so cruel and fatuous, actually because he did many wrong things in his later period and fell in love with Su Daji. All he does is waste luxury, have fun, indulge in debauchery and disregard state affairs. Shang Zhouwang did a lot of wrong things in the second half of his life, and the second half of his life was really unbearable.

But looking back at ancient history, didn't many kings do a lot of stupid things in their later years? Maybe they did a good job in the early stage and made a lot of contributions to the country. They were all wise kings of SHEN WOO, but they always declined in the later stage. After all, people are getting more and more confused when they are old. For example, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and later countries all gradually declined under their governance.

Shang Zhouwang's life is not entirely a fault, but he also has a credit. He is not an out-and-out bad king, nor is he as cruel as everyone says. Part of the reason why he became cruel in the later period was Su Daji's confusion. Su Daji was specially sent by Nu Wa Empress to accelerate the demise of Shang Dynasty.

In the task of deifying, a villain like Shang Zhouwang is needed to complete the task. If there is no such villain, what reason does Jiang Ziya have to appear to complete the task of sealing the gods? Therefore, such villains are also the key figures to complete the task of sealing the gods. Without the existence of Shang Zhouwang, it is impossible to complete the task of sealing the gods.

The main line of the whole plot of the list of gods is apotheosis. Shang Zhouwang's cruelty is only the cause of the plot, and the final result is to complete the gods. Therefore, from the side, Shang Zhouwang also made a contribution to the deity plan, and gave his own strength.
