Sharanya:
I have another question....
Xiang Liu is a nine-headed snake and Jing is a nine-tailed fox... Then why Xiang Liu considered as Demon and Jing regarded as God??? Aren't they both animals turned humans?? Is there any specific reason for this??
What I observed from other dramas like Ancient Love Poetry, that nine-tailed foxes were also demons, but here Jing is God despite being fox... And also same goes to Pheonix, in some dramas, Pheonix clan is considered as Demon like other animals and birds, but in some they are regarded as Gods and have high status...
Is it era difference in Chinese Mythology or something else is the reason???
Regarding why Xiang Liu is a demon, Jing is a god, Kokuto has already answered: In terms of bloodline, Jing is basically a god, but has a little bit of blood of Nine-tailed Fox, so he has some of the abilities of the Nine-tailed Fox.
As for whether these "god-like ancient creatures" such as nine-tailed foxes and phoenixes are regarded as demons or gods, it is generally like this: In essence, these unique creatures born with intelligence, high spiritual power, longevity, and man-like rationality and self-discipline, they are actually almost indistinguishable from the gods (except that their true form is not human form, and they usually still have some animalistic qualities in their characters). Therefore, whether they are regarded as demons or respected as gods often depends on what they do. If they use their abilities to do good deeds and help the weak, then they and their descendants will usually be respected by people and called gods. If they have made great contributions, they may be officially given a hereditary title by the gods. And if they use their abilities to do bad things, they will be regarded as demons and may be captured or killed.
