    1. The status of gods is higher than that of immortals.

    2. God is the innate spirit of nature, which is from before the division of heaven and earth, also known as the innate saint, and the true saint who exists in the congenital nature. For example, the Heavenly Realm Gods such as the Three Qing Honored Gods, the Jade Emperor, and the Antarctic Immortal Weng are not something that mortals in the world can cultivate through cultivation.

    3. Immortals are people who have cultivated in the world the day after tomorrow, also known as the acquired Tao immortals, and those who have finally achieved immortality through long-term cultivation are immortals.

    God, the manifestor, the priest, the declarant, the declarant It is the middle bridge of heaven and earth through sacrifices, so the gods must accept the incense offerings, the gods may be ghosts or spirits, and those who have temples to accept incense offerings to communicate with the heavens and the earth are gods.

    Immortal mountain people are also people who are as tall and powerful as mountains, so immortals focus on being strong. From the Taoist point of view, if you want to become an immortal, you must obtain the Fa or the Tao, and you must cultivate through certain methods or principles in order to become a person as powerful as a mountain. Immortals focus on cultivation and strength.

    A god is a person who is sacrificed or rewarded by the emperor to become a god after death.

    Immortals are immortals who are hidden in the mountains and forests, and they do not know where they are.

    In terms of rank, the gods have incense, mental power offerings, and the blessing of imperial luck, so they are naturally higher than immortals. But some immortals are higher in rank than gods in Taoism. For example, the Queen Mother is the head of the fairies. Doumu is the mother of stars. They are all higher than God.
