Investiture of the Gods was a novel with the story of the Investiture of the Gods as its main theme. It described the various crimes and tyranny of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty at the end of the Shang Dynasty. However, whether King Zhou of Shang was really as cruel as described in the novel, historians did not reach a consensus. King Zhou of Shang was the last emperor of Shang Dynasty. It was said that during his reign, he implemented a series of tyranny and famine relief policies, such as strengthening military rule, implementing cruel punishments and weakening the power of nobles, which caused widespread dissatisfaction and resistance. In the legends, King Zhou of Shang was even described as a cruel, bloodthirsty, and evil tyrant. However, modern historians had different views on the historical image of King Zhou of Shang. They believed that although King Zhou of Shang might have adopted some extreme policies, it did not mean that he was a completely brutal monarch. In fact, King Zhou of Shang was a monarch with a certain status in the history of Shang Dynasty. His contributions included establishing some important systems and culture, which had a certain impact on the development of Shang Dynasty. Therefore, although the image of King Zhou in Investiture of the Gods was relatively negative, it could not completely restore the true history.

At Shang Rong's request, King Zhou decided to go to Nüwa Palace to burn incense on Nüwa's Christmas Day. The reason why King Zhou went to the Goddess Nvywa Temple to offer incense was probably because Shang Rong told him that Goddess Nvywa was an ancient goddess who had a holy virtue and had made contributions to the people. King Zhou might have hoped that by offering incense to Nüwa, he could pray for the prosperity of the country, the peace of the four seasons, and the elimination of disasters. However, after King Zhou saw the statue of Goddess Nvywa in the Goddess Nvywa Temple, he wrote a poem that blasphemed Goddess Nvywa, which aroused Goddess Nvywa's anger. Goddess Nvywa sent the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to confuse King Zhou, which eventually led to the destruction of the Shang Dynasty. As for why King Zhou dared to blaspheme Goddess Nüwa, there was no clear answer in the search results.
