Was the ranking of immortals in the Investiture of the Gods in line with Taoism?

In the Investiture of the Gods, Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were considered to be extremely high-level immortals. They not only had extraordinary strength and divine powers, but they also grasped the mysterious karma. This kind of karma was a kind of power that could affect the fate of others. Therefore, Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were also given some extremely special tasks and responsibilities. However, karma was not a one-sided force. It also required the joint efforts of the participants to achieve it. Therefore, Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals also needed to bear the corresponding karma responsibility. If their actions led to bad karma results, they would also be punished accordingly. In the novel, some actions of the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were thought to have led to bad karma. For example, they assisted King Zhou in invading the Zhou Country, resulting in the eventual destruction of the Zhou Country. Therefore, they were also punished accordingly, such as being named as immortals by the God List, but they were restricted and restrained from interfering with the fate of the human world at will.
