dual-rule ultimate beings and ordinary Divine Realm Lords were second-rank councilors; High Divine Realm Lords were first-rank councilors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qi Lingxiao, as a special Divine Realm Lord of immense value to the civilization, was also designated a first-rank councilor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, nearly all Shanhai Realm councilors were third-rank;
