I hope any sane GM would smite the character attempting this, or makes it a super cool starting heroic cult along the line of Herakles's cult.Being promoted to divine status by a vote of the Roman Senate would be pretty close. Also, I am not sure about Taoism, but isn't becoming immortal through your own efforts something close as well, especially if working in the celestial bureaucracy after that. The seamstress you knew as a child could litterally be running a minor aspect of the universe. In both cases, people had no trouble worshipping someone they might have known in life.Also, ancestor cult is just literally that.</blockquote>
