Volume 4 Falling into Hell Chapter 257 The Road to Promotion
Demons generally recognize three broad hierarchies.
At the bottom are the low-level devils. Among the large group of secondary Baatezu devils, only a handful can escape this extremely humble and pitiful status.

Wantonly sacrificed by any superior above them, low-level devils rarely seize the opportunity to prove their worth and gain promotion.
Sitting above the low-level devils are the middle-level devils. This more elite group enjoys more autonomy. Through their role in the soul trade, the middle-level devils can often get promotion opportunities on a regular basis.
Near the top of the ruling system are high-level demons, who occupy authoritative positions in the hellish power system.
The most powerful among them is the Hell Demon Refiner. From the eternal bloody battle to the rule of the entire bottom hell, they are responsible for the management and supervision of the devil's forces.
Among the current seven levels of hell, only the third level’s fallen angel king, devil king Azazel and the seventh level’s most powerful devil king, Lucifer, are not creatures from hell. The other five
All the devil kings are devils at the hell refining level in hell.
In the hell hierarchy, the most common promotion is to gradually advance from low level to high level. The following is the devil's detailed promotion level route.

In order to receive a promotion, a devil must win the approval of his immediate superior, but in any case, any higher-ranking devil has the right to revoke such a newly approved promotion.
For low-level devils, any promotion must be approved by their subordinate mid-level devil boss.
High-level devils usually believe that the fate of low-level devils is not worthy of their attention at all, so they rarely interfere with such promotions.
For mid-level devils, any promotion must be approved by their subordinate high-level devil boss.
Higher-level demons, including the Seven Demon Lords of Hell, will sometimes revoke or overturn promotions that have been approved by higher-level demons.
For high-level devils, any promotion must be approved by their subordinate lord.
Therefore, there can be no high-level devils who are not loyal to any monarch.
This is also the reason why the little devil Mare must follow Elos, because other beings strong enough to protect the little devil do not look down on the little devil Mare, so Mare tries his best to follow the little devil who does not know much about hell.
Iloth.
Among the high-level devils in the Seven Hells, Hell Demons are the highest-ranking beings. You must know that the five devil kings who rule the Seven Hells evolved from Hell Demons.
The most powerful person among the demons in hell can rival the Devil King, but since he is not the Devil King after all, without the support of plane rules, he will still be ruthlessly crushed by the Devil King.
If a hell demon hopes to be further promoted in the devil hierarchy, it must be recognized by the plane rules of the level of hell where it is located and challenge the current devil king.
In the history of the Seven Hells, only two people successfully challenged the existence of the Devil Lord and became the new Devil Lord.
That is Lucifer, the King of Demons, and Azazel, the King of Fallen Angels.
It's just that these two people also came from Heavenly Mountain, and they were both the most glorious Seraphs before they fell.
Of course, these two devil kings are legends among legends, miracles among miracles, and do not have reference significance or universality.

Therefore, most devils still need to be promoted step by step.
Normally, a devil can only advance one level at a time, but higher authorities can break this common practice if they see fit.
However, those devils who receive leapfrog promotions usually face resentment from their peers and direct subordinates, and they must expend considerable energy to look behind their backs.
The promotion process of most devils requires a promotion ceremony.
Any promotion ceremony requires a ceremony conducted by a favorable superior, and the process lasts for a number of hours equal to the level of the new class.
Therefore, it will take 3 hours to transform a cheap demon (level 2) into a needle demon (level 3).
Accompanied by indescribable severe pain, the promotion ceremony will completely destroy this lucky person's body, his internal organs will be sprayed, and his limbs will be shattered. He will experience the full pain of being shattered into pieces and losing his skin and body.
Amid the chaos, new forms gradually emerge, resembling larvae or parasites, often nourishing themselves with the remains of their old bodies.
If any mortal is unfortunate enough to witness the climax of the promotion ceremony, he must succeed on a Will saving throw, otherwise he will fall into a permanent panic, or at best, become a madman.
The recipient of the promotion will be able to retain the complete memory of each devil in the past, even going back to the time when he was a lemure.

But no matter what, the devils will never be able to retrieve the memories they had as fallen souls when they fell into hell.
As one progresses through various devil forms, a devil's personality will change.
For example, a cunning and lazy Needle Devil will turn into a stupid and bullying Barb Devil, and then transform into a cunning and flattering Imp Devil, and so on.
The devils embraced this change, seeing it as the final victory of order and class over pure individuality.
However, there is still a certain degree of coherence among the several forms of a single devil.
Hobbies and personalities developed in one stage may emerge in the next stage, or disappear, only to reappear in another form.
And the most important component of a devil's character—its resentment toward competing devils and anyone who gets in the way of its plans—will remain the same, no matter how its character changes.
As the demonic philosopher Zagareth once wrote, "Only in choosing an enemy does a devil find its own existence."
Note:
The souls needed for the birth of devils all come from the main plane. Souls from various races and planes have a chance of being reincarnated in hell.

After the soul falls into hell, a few lucky souls are not sent to the devil's incubation place by the rules of the plane.
The chances of a soul successfully escaping from a fateful barge or prison car are extremely unlikely, but it does happen occasionally.
The escaped Soul Shell will always be in fear of being captured, because no devil will never miss the opportunity to capture an ownerless soul wandering in hell.
Occasionally, a soul arriving at the Rack of Despair bears no demonic mark, because its devotion to lawful evil cannot be attributed to a specific demon.
Unmarked souls are often surprisingly rare, because the demons divide their respective areas of responsibility so finely that they can reliably determine soul ownership in the vast majority of cases.
The presence of such a soul usually sparks a frenzied trading meeting among the Baba soul collectors, each of whom serves one of the Seven Demon Lords of Hell.
And negotiations sometimes devolve into outright squabbles, allowing uninvited third parties to sometimes sneak in and escape with the souls in question.
Usually the winner of the negotiation (or fight) will capture the soul and deliver it to its owner's cart or barge, thereby reaping the benefits and increasing his or her own chances of advancement.
Servants of lawful evil gods also routinely search for ownerless souls in the Rack of Despair, and they can often be seen negotiating with the barb demon servants of the seven demon lords of Hell for their own benefit.
Among the seven hells, no matter where they come from, original and unaltered souls are the most coveted treasure by the devil.

Therefore, each archdevil keeps a small portion of his soul imprisoned in a closely guarded location to use as currency for trade.
This is the source of the Soul Disaster Coin.
The more powerful the soul, the more valuable the Soul Disaster Coin is and the more valuable it is.
The soul disaster coin that Wan Shi San San gave to Iloth, the soul sealed in it was a legendary lord close to the demigod level during his lifetime.
Even in the seven levels of hell, the value of this soul disaster coin is unimaginable!
