...and the 365 star gods, all arranged in order of their names and ranks.

Next is the "True Man" fruit position, a total of thirty people, including the four great gods, Confucius, Yin Xi, Ma Lingguan, the giant spirit, etc. There are so many people that I will not list them one by one.

Then there are those who have attained the status of “Venerable Person”, of which there are more than thirty in total, including the Four Heavenly Kings, the two generals Heng and Ha, and so on, and they are not listed one by one.

...

Finally, there are rewards. During the great catastrophe, the gods who resist the disaster and protect all living beings will be rewarded, either with a new title, or with catastrophe jade, or with an increased lifespan.

Because Fang Jian was given a noble title and had more power and status, his rewards were smaller, only five million merits and ten thousand robbery jades.

All cultivators below the level of immortals will be rewarded with 10,000 Tribulation Jades and their lifespan will be increased by 500 years.

All gods and immortals are rewarded with 10,000 robbery jades and an additional 1,000 years of life.

Anyone who has achieved enlightenment will be given a title of honor and granted one of the "Ten Continents" of blessed lands to open a cave dwelling and practice cultivation away from the mundane world.

For the Buddhist gods and immortals, the rewards from the Heavenly Court were even simpler. All the great Buddhist virtues, gods, and monks who had made contributions in this great catastrophe were awarded merits ranging from 100,000 to 1 million according to the size of their contributions, and 10,000 catastrophe jades. The Great Heavenly Venerable also ordered the Tiangong Academy to refine the low-grade fairy treasure "Purple Gold Kasaya" for them, and ordered the Grain and Material Academy to give them fairy pills and immortal medicines.

In short, in this great catastrophe, as long as you have made a contribution, the Heavenly Court will never treat you unfairly, no matter you are a mortal cultivator in the lower world, a god in the sky, or an immortal in the four continents, there will be rewards!

Finally, all the immortal officials and gods who had received their titles and rewards entered the Lingxiao Palace and bowed and stood solemnly in their respective positions in the ranks of immortal officials.

"Congratulations, the first minister of heaven."

Fang Jian heard a slight voice behind him. He turned his head and saw Kunpeng and Erlang Zhenjun standing behind him in turn, and it was Kunpeng who was speaking.

Isn’t it? Now Fang Jian is the “chief of the true gods” and has enormous authority. He is directly under the command of the Five Emperors and can monitor all the gods below the Five Emperors. He is truly the “first minister of heaven.”

However, the first minister is still a minister. It would be better if he could become the "Emperor" someday. Thinking of this, Fang Jian smiled at Kunpeng.

At this time, the rewarding process has ended. The King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West reported to the Five Imperial Emperors, and then returned to their own thrones in the sky.

Next, all the gods and immortal officials paid homage to the Great Heavenly Venerable and paid homage to the Five Imperial Emperors.

After an extremely complicated ceremony, the formal court meeting finally began in the Lingxiao Palace.

The Emperor Ziwei said, "There are only three things to announce at today's grand court meeting. First, after the grand court meeting, the Heavenly Court will hold a celebration banquet at Taiyuan Shangqing Palace. All immortals and fellow Taoists must attend."

All the ministers and gods bowed and said, "We will obey your orders."

Afterwards, the Great Emperor Ziwei said, "Secondly, Fang Jian will no longer hold the position of Tongtian Ling of Tongtian Palace. He will be succeeded by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Together with the Bixia Yuanjun and the Peacock Great Ming King, they will preside over the Tongtian Palace. They will continue to eliminate the demons in the heavens and restore the South Heaven Gate's direct access to the heavens and all realms. The rest of the immortal ministers must also perform their duties and strictly control the situation at all times to prevent the demons from harming the living beings."

Fang Jian, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Bixia Yuanjun, Peacock Great Bright King, and all the immortal officials immediately bowed in the immortal group and said, "We will obey the order."

Finally, the Purple Star Emperor said, "Third: Fang Jian, the God of Justice, will assume his duties in the Haotian Palace from this day forward, presiding over the Heavenly Laws. He will oversee the Heavenly Court, the Three Realms, and all gods, demons, Taoists, and Buddhas. You will oversee, investigate, investigate, and pass judgment. If there are any uncertainties, you may directly report to the Five Emperors."

Fang Jian immediately walked out of the immortal group holding the jade scepter, bowed and said, "Your Highness Fang Jian receives the order."

Ziwei Emperor nodded slightly. Having finished explaining the three matters, his face was no longer serious. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "My fellow immortals and Taoists, the grand court meeting is officially over. Please proceed to Taiyuan Shangqing Palace immediately for the celebration banquet."

All the ministers and immortals bowed and said, "Yes."

Then, led by the Five Great Emperors and a group of emperors, they rode on the golden cloud chariot and the auspicious palanquin out of the Lingxiao Palace and headed towards the Taiyuan Shangqing Palace in a mighty procession.

Fang Jian and the other ministers and gods also left the Lingxiao Palace, and congratulated each other along the way. Fang Jian was especially friendly with Erlang Shen, Nezha, and Sun Wukong. The four of them congratulated each other and talked and laughed, and went straight to Taiyuan Shangqing Palace amid a ceremony where fairies lined up to scatter flowers and heavenly soldiers majestically cleared the way.

This is exactly:

According to the special merits in eliminating demons and protecting life, the rewards for the merits are different.

The imperial carriage flew out of Lingxiao and everyone went to the grand banquet at Shangqing Palace.
