Why didn't Jiang Ziya deify?

Jiang Ziya didn't become an immortal or become a deity, which actually confirmed the word "God's will". When Jiang Ziya didn't go down the mountain, he once said that Jiang Ziya's life was shallow and it was difficult to become an immortal. But people sent to the world can only enjoy the blessings of the world, and it is difficult to seal the gods!

The highest realm of Taoist practice is immortal Taoism, which means that you can enjoy human sacrifices, not be driven by people, and be free between heaven and earth. It is difficult to achieve immortality. Those who are forbidden by the gods can worship the fairy road. Although they enjoy human sacrifice, it is indeed a command from heaven.

Jiang Ziya's immortal way is difficult to realize, and his name is not among the gods after the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. He can only be regarded as a mortal who understands Taoism and enjoys wealth in the world.
