The Saint's Will of Purple Xiao Palace receded like a tide.

But the earth-shattering frenzy on Golden Ao Island had only just reached its peak.

Yet at the center of the storm, the Calamity Aversion Department, under Chen Changsheng's calm directives, quickly pulled itself from ecstasy and entered a state of near-cold, efficient operation.

The "Investiture of the Gods Evaluation Project Office"—an institution with a name so bizarre—had, the moment it was established, seized the full attention of the Jie Sect's highest echelons.

However, the first difficulty soon confronted everyone.

"Junior Brother."

The newly appointed Executive Deputy Director, Daoist Duobao, held a blank Jade Slip, his brow deeply furrowed.

"This 'Job Description'... how exactly should we begin writing it?"

Behind him, dozens of Inner Sect Elite Disciples tasked with drafting were equally lost and at a loss.

They were geniuses of cultivation, masters of combat.

Writing a fierce, decisive battle proclamation was child's play for them.

But defining the duties of a "god"... this had exceeded the bounds of their understanding.

One disciple had scribbled on his Jade Slip for ages, only to squeeze out twelve big characters: "God of Thunder Department, in charge of thunder and lightning, majestic and domineering." He could write no further.

On the other side, External Relations Deputy Director Zhao Gongming faced the same predicament.

He scratched his head and tugged at his ears, staring at a draft of a "Recruitment Edict" meant for Loose Cultivators across the Three Realms.

"What exactly is our job advantage? We can't just write, 'Come work for the Heavenly Court, you'll still get paid even if you die,' can we? That sounds like a scam!"

The initial excitement faded, and the immense difficulty of execution pressed down like a mountain on everyone's hearts.

Three hundred and sixty-five divine positions.

Within three days, they had to produce three hundred and sixty-five logically rigorous, clearly defined, and attractive "Job Descriptions."

It was an utterly impossible task.

The entire project office, established less than half a Shichen ago, had already ground to a halt.

All eyes eventually converged on the young figure calmly seated at the head, flipping through various reports.

"Director."

Daoist Duobao steeled himself to speak.

"This matter... we need you to set a... framework."

Chen Changsheng put down the Jade Slip and looked up.

He seemed to have anticipated this predicament, his face showing no surprise.

"Everyone, do not panic."

"Any pioneering work will encounter a lack of direction in its early stages. This is normal."

He stood and walked to the center of the hall.

"The root of the problem is that we lack a standardized... template."

He extended his hand, and the scroll that had evolved into a Post-Heaven Merit Treasure, the Investiture of the Gods Project Book, quietly materialized.

Treasure light swirled.

A massive Light Screen projected from the project book, suspended before the crowd.

On the Light Screen, a blank form with a format so standardized it was almost terrifying was clearly displayed.

[Heavenly Court Divine Position Job Description (Standard Template V1.0)]

[Job Title]:

[Job Sequence]: (e.g., Dou Department, Thunder Department, Wealth Department, etc.)

[Job Level]: (e.g., Emperor-level, Marshal-level, Tianjun-level, Ordinary Divine General)

[Compensation and Benefits Package]:

1. Basic Luck (Heavenly Court Establishment): 2. Performance Merit (Annual): 3. Incense Share (Optional):

[Core Responsibilities]:

[Qualifications]:

1. Cultivation Baseline: 2. Core Ability Requirements: 3. Conduct Requirements (Merit/Karma):

[Career Development Path]:

The moment this template—filled with bizarre terminology yet terrifyingly clear in its structure—appeared, the entire hall fell into dead silence.

Daoist Duobao stared at the words "Compensation and Benefits Package" and "Core Responsibilities," feeling as though his Dao heart was being scoured over and over by a brand-new force called "professionalism."

"The template is just the skeleton," Chen Changsheng said calmly.

"Next, I'll demonstrate for everyone how to fill in the flesh and blood."

He raised a finger and wrote in the air before the light screen.

"Let's start with the highest-level, most eye-catching position."

[Job Title]: Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Star.

[Job Sequence]: Sovereign Lord.

[Job Level]: One of the Four Imperial Lords (Deputy Heavenly Emperor Level).

As he wrote this, the hall filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath.

Starting off by taking aim at the Great Emperor Ziwei, second only to Emperor Haotian himself?

What... what audacity was this!

Chen Changsheng's finger didn't pause for a moment, moving to the section most critical and most likely to explode across the Three Realms.

[Compensation and Benefits Package]:

1. Basic Luck (Heavenly Court Establishment): Enjoy a one percent boost from the Heavenly Court's total luck.

2. Performance Merit (Annual): Base annual salary of thirty thousand Great Dao Merit. Fluctuates based on the "Three Realms Stellar Stability Rate" and "Myriad Spirits Worship Index."

3. Incense Share (Optional): May independently develop followers in the lower realms; the Heavenly Court takes no commission from incense income.

When the words "annual salary of thirty thousand Great Dao Merit" appeared clearly on the light screen.

The breathing of every Jie Sect disciple in the entire Project Office came to a complete halt in that instant!

Even Sect Leader Tongtian's hand, gripping the Qingping Sword, tightened uncontrollably!

Thirty thousand!

And Great Dao Merit at that!

Remember, when Chen Changsheng had handled the Dragon Clan earlier, with censuses and credit checks, what he'd ultimately pocketed was only ninety-eight thousand merit.

And now, just by becoming this Great Emperor Ziwei, without doing anything, you'd be guaranteed an annual income of thirty thousand?!

This wasn't a divine throne!

This was clearly a mountain of gold, inexhaustible and endless!

Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth himself, had his eyes turn bloodshot in an instant, staring fixedly at that string of numbers, nearly drooling.

He felt that the fortune he'd painstakingly amassed over countless Yuanhui was utterly insignificant before this "compensation package"!

Chen Changsheng ignored everyone's loss of composure, his finger continuing downward.

[Core Responsibilities]:

1. Mastery of Celestial and Terrestrial Coordinates, Commanding Myriad Stars, maintaining the normal operation of the Stars of the Heavens.

2. Collaborate with Emperor Gouchen to oversee all military affairs of the Three Realms and formulate the Annual Military Exercise Plan.

3. As Rotating Chairman of the Four Imperial Lords, regularly preside over high-level internal meetings of the Heavenly Court and submit Quarterly Work Reports to Emperor Haotian.

[Qualifications]:

1. Cultivation Baseline: Quasi-Saint Initial Stage or above.

2. Core Ability Requirements: Proficient in the Great Dao of Stars, skilled in Grand Strategy Deduction, with experience commanding billions of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

3. Conduct Requirements: Boundless merit, no Historical Karma Record. Priority given to those who have participated in major projects such as the Creation of Heaven and Earth, Mending the Heavens, or Saving the World.

[Career Development Path]: Outstanding performers may have the opportunity to compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor in the future.

When the last line, "Career Development Path," was written.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was utterly stunned by this, a nearly perfect "Job Description."

It had clear job levels, an irresistible compensation package, well-defined work responsibilities, a threshold so high it was despair-inducing, and even... painted a sky-high pie of "competing for the Jade Emperor's throne"!

Thorough!

Rigorous!

Filled with lethal allure!

Daoist Duobao stared at this description, feeling as though a new world had opened before his eyes.

He finally understood how laughable his earlier "majestic and domineering" had been.

"Does everyone understand now?"

Chen Changsheng's voice jolted everyone awake from their shock.

"Understood!"

This time, the reply was uniform, filled with the excitement of sudden realization.

"Very good."

Chen Changsheng nodded. The words on the light screen faded, leaving only a blank template.

"Now, using this as the standard, pair up and split into groups."

"Senior Brother Duobao, you and Senior Sister Jinling are responsible for the Dou Department and the Thunder Department."

"Senior Brother Zhao, you and Senior Sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao are responsible for the Wealth Department and the Plague Department."

"Yunxiao, Guiling, Senior Sister Wudang, you are responsible for sorting out the division of powers and responsibilities across all positions to avoid logical loopholes."

"The remaining disciples will handle the drafting of basic divine positions."

"Remember, our principle is equal rights and responsibilities, with compensation linked to risk!"

"The higher the position, the higher the salary, but correspondingly, the job requirements and assessment pressure must also be the highest!"

"Go."

"Yes, Director!"

A crisp, unified response.

Chen Changsheng shuddered. You all are way too quick on the uptake.

The Jie Sect elites, who had been like headless flies before, now seemed to have had their Ren and Du meridians unblocked. Their eyes sparkled with excitement as they each received their tasks and threw themselves into the work at lightning speed.

The entire project office instantly transformed into a high-speed, precision machine.

The clashing sounds of jade slips and jade pens rose and fell in waves.

"God of Wealth Department Zhao Gongming, annual salary tentatively set at ten thousand merits, KPI is to maintain price stability across the Three Realms. Reasonable, right?"

"Unreasonable! The risk is too high, the salary too low! Must increase the pay!"

"God of Plague Department Lü Yue, this position carries immense karmic risk. No one wants to do it. What should we do? I suggest adding a 'High-Risk Karma Subsidy'!"

"Agreed!"

Watching this lively scene, full of bargaining and clashing ideas, Sect Leader Tongtian stroked his beard, a gratified smile spreading across his face.

He knew that from this moment on, the future of his Jie Sect was secure.

Time flew by amidst the tense and efficient work.

Two and a half days later.

The first drafts of all three hundred and sixty-five job descriptions were complete.

Just as Daoist Duobao was preparing for the final review and Chen Changsheng was about to inspect the results—

Boom—!

A vast, boundless, terrifying aura, filled with the majesty of a supreme emperor, descended without warning from above the Nine Heavens onto Golden Ao Island!

The entire Mountain Protection Array let out a strained hum under this pressure!

An Outer Sect Disciple tasked with guarding the mountain stumbled and rushed in, his face pale, his voice trembling.

"R-re... reporting to the Immortal Official! H-heavenly Court... Emperor Haotian, has arrived at the mountain gate in person!"

The moment these words were spoken, the clamor in the great hall came to an abrupt halt.

Sect Leader Tongtian frowned and began to rise.

But Chen Changsheng gently raised a hand to stop him.

There was no surprise on his face. He simply spoke a single sentence, calmly.

"It seems Client Father has come to inspect the project progress in person."
