Among them, gods are the righteous gods of heaven and earth canonized in the list of gods. Immortals are immortals who are successful in cultivation and come from the major sects in the lower world. This is also the so-called righteous sect.
If the patriarch is an official in heaven, then their disciples are righteous people. On the contrary, if the patriarch is a casual cultivator and is not an official in heaven, then they cannot be regarded as righteous and can only call themselves heretics.
Similarly, only the righteous sect can obtain the consent of Heaven, occupy the blessed land of Cave Heaven, and establish a sect.
However, side sects cannot be recognized by the Heavenly Court and cannot establish a sect in the Paradise of Cave Heaven. In the end, they can only become casual cultivators, that is, monks with no fixed abode.
This is where the Immortal Officials in Heaven come from. In order to occupy the blessed land of Cave Heaven, they have to volunteer to go to heaven as officials and serve Heaven.
The Divine Court built by Jiang Chen can be said to have completely borrowed from the Heavenly Court. Everything in Jiuzhou today was born because of him. It can be said that it completely belongs to him, that is, to the Divine Court.
The resources consumed by the major forces distributed in Jiuzhou and used for daily cultivation also belong to Shenting and Jiang Chen.
On Jiang Chen's territory, how can they be allowed to eat and drink for free? If they pay, they will be rewarded. If they want to reasonably occupy the blessed land of Cave Heaven under their control, then they must work for the Divine Court.
Therefore, even if taxes are not collected, there is no need to worry about the divine court being short of manpower.
If you are born in Kyushu, you must be determined to serve Shenting. The major forces distributed in Kyushu will take the initiative to send experts to maintain the rule of Shenting.
It’s okay if you don’t want to serve the Divine Court, then you need to abandon everything and move your family away from Kyushu. The move here is about people moving away, not the Dongtian Paradise together.
Moving is easy to say, but how many people are willing to actually do it?
That is the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the place where the creations of heaven and earth converge, and the foundation for the immortality of a force. Without the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, how many forces can guarantee that they will not weaken as time goes by?
"The Divine Court, to put it simply, is the Heavenly Court in the human world. You are all smart people. If you carefully study how the Heavenly Court operates, you will roughly understand how to maintain the Divine Court."
"There is a good standard for judging whether the gods in heaven are trying their best. The gods and gods who fulfill their duties will have golden light blooming on their bodies. That is the light of merit and is the reward from heaven for their dedication to their duties."
"On the contrary, the immortals who leave their posts without permission and do things carelessly will be filled with black energy, like a dark cloud covering their heads. That is karma, a punishment from heaven for neglecting their duties."
"In most cases, you can tell whether a person is a good god or a bad god by looking at the amount of merit and karma he possesses."
On the way, Jiang Chen kept introducing the differences between the divine court and the human dynasty.
The biggest difference between the two lies in supervision. Mortal officials are supervised by humans, while immortals in heaven are supervised by heaven. This can prevent officials from making mistakes to the greatest extent possible.
People may talk about human feelings, but God will not talk about feelings for you.

…………
While walking and talking, I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a bright light appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as dazzling as the sun, suspended in the mid-air.
"Is this Xianyang City?"
Some scholars squinted and vaguely discerned that the sun floating in front of them was not a sun, but a huge city, a divine city suspended in the sky.
"Yes, this is Xianyang City, but that was its previous name. Now, it is called Shenting, the ancestral court of Shinto."
Jiang Chen briefly introduced the divine court and led everyone inside.
The Divine Court is very large, and is divided into six levels from top to bottom. The first level is composed of 840 million houses. The second level is composed of 129,600 ordinary temples.
The third level is composed of 3,600 heavenly temples. The fourth level is composed of 365 Zhoutian temples. The fifth level is composed of twelve supreme temples.
On the sixth level, located at the highest point in the sky, there is only one ancestral temple, which is the temple of the ancestral god and the place where the divine court discusses matters.
"The residence I have prepared for you is on the fourth level. You can each choose one of the three hundred and sixty-five Zhoutian Temples as your residence."
Jiang Chen's current subordinates, all of whom he can keep by his side, are all Taoist seeds. As long as they don't die midway, they all have the hope of becoming innate Taoist.
The fourth level of the Zhoutian Temple corresponds to the Taoist realm, so Jiang Chen directly arranged them in the fourth level of the Divine Court.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of coming to the divine court for the first time. At this moment, they suddenly heard Jiang Chen's words. They were stunned at first, and then quickly thanked him.
When they first came to the Divine Court, no introduction was needed from Jiang Chen. A misty voice sounded in their ears, telling them about the greatness of the Divine Court and the role of these temples.
The fourth level of the temple represents the Innate Taoist Master. Although, with their current abilities, they are still unable to refine such a high-level temple, Jiang Chen allows them to live in it, which already represents recognition of their potential.
As long as they work harder and make more meritorious deeds, sooner or later they will be able to refine the Zhoutian Temple and become Taoist beings who coexist with heaven and earth.
"Letting you go to the fourth level of the temple is both a reward and an incentive for you. If you don't work hard, you may not be replaced by the people below."
As Jiang Chen's voice fell, the divine court suddenly shook. Bright divine lights erupted from the land of Kyushu and rushed toward the temple.
In an instant, in the second divine court, nearly one-tenth of the 129,600 ordinary temples that had no owners suddenly burst out with bright light, reflecting the sacred figures.
Then came the third level, the fourth level, and even the fifth level of temples, each with their own brilliance blooming and sacred shadows emerging.
These are the gods that Jiang Chen canonized before. Now that the divine court is established, they naturally have a place.
However, most of the gods that Jiang Chen had previously canonized were only at the level of heavenly immortals, and few of them were Taoist kings. Therefore, after they came to the Divine Court, they all entered the second level of the Divine Court.
In the Shinto system established by Jiang Chen, gods who are less than the Innate Tao Lord can only enter the second level of the Divine Court, Taiyi enters the third level, Daluo enters the fourth level, and Quasi-Sage enters the fifth level.
Hunyuan enters the sixth level.
Rumble!
The divine court was shaking, and the light on its body became brighter and brighter, casting a huge shadow on the ground, and in this shadow, the shadow of Kyushu could be vaguely seen.
The shadow cast by this divine court on the earth is the realm of nothingness corresponding to reality. The phantom of Kyushu manifested inside is the Kyushu Divine Realm.
As the gods settled in, the Divine Court was able to further evolve, and the Kyushu Divine Realm spontaneously evolved.
