Guan Yu was deified by the masses and was conferred posthumous titles by kings and emperors over the centuries. However, his rank in the pantheon of Chinese gods wasn't that high. It was the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty who first elevated Guan Yu's status to "The Great and Loyal Emperor Who Assists the Heavens and Protects the Nation", and thereafter he has been popularly known as Guan Di, or "The Emperor Guan".
