I recommend the novel " I Am a Summoner." The protagonist accidentally obtained the ability to summon monsters, triggering a series of stories about ancient legends such as gods, angels, and demons. This novel is a combination of fantasy, sword, and magic. It fits the plot you described very well. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
In the Investiture of the Gods, the difference in strength between the monsters was very wide. They were usually divided into the following levels:
1 God: These monsters have supernatural powers that can be compared to gods. For example, Emperor Jun of the Shang Dynasty was a god with extraordinary power and charm.
2. Immortals: The strength of these monsters has already surpassed the scope of humans and can be comparable to immortals. For example, Shen Gongpao was an immortal who had the ability to predict the future and become invisible.
3. Immortals: These monsters are as strong as immortals but usually more agile and faster than immortals. For example, Xu Zhonglin was an immortal who could use spells and divine powers to fight.
4. Monsters: These monsters are weaker than immortals and gods and usually can only rely on their own strength and magic to fight. For example, the yellow-robed monster was a monster that could only fight through attack and defense.
It should be noted that these levels were not absolute. Some demons might be between gods and immortals, or some demons might be stronger than other levels.
This book described a sunny day when the apocalypse suddenly arrived. Most of the humans, animals, and plants in the world had become man-eating monsters. As long as they killed a monster, everyone would be able to activate the Doomsday System and gain the ability to level up and fight monsters. The protagonist of the story, Wang Cheng, obtained the inheritance of the supreme soul demon in the apocalypse. He split his soul into countless bodies and took over. This book meets the requirements of the plot in the question. I suggest you read it. I hope you like my recommendation.😗

What was the difference between gods, immortals, demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters in Chinese mythology?
Gods, immortals, demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters were different supernatural existences in ancient Chinese myths and legends. They had their own characteristics and abilities. The specific differences were as follows:
1. God: Usually described as a god that transcends humans, possessing supernatural power and wisdom, the supreme ruler and creator of the universe and the world. Gods usually appeared because there were some defects or problems that needed to be solved, so a supernatural existence was needed to take responsibility and solve them.
2 Fairies: Creatures that are usually described as possessing extraordinary abilities. Their characteristics and abilities are similar to those of gods but are usually more agile and intelligent than gods. The appearance of immortals was usually due to the satisfaction of certain needs or wishes such as immortality, flight, transformation, and so on.
3. Demon: Usually described as a mutation of an animal or plant that has some different characteristics and abilities from humans. Demons usually appeared because humans worshipped or feared supernatural forces, or because of the forces ruled by some demon kings or demon emperors.
Devil: Usually described as being formed by the evil power of humans or animals. Its characteristics and abilities are usually similar to demons but more cruel and evil. The appearance of demons was usually triggered by the dark side of the human heart or by the forces ruled by some demon emperor or demon king.
Ghost: Usually described as a soul after death. Its characteristics and abilities depend on its experiences and karma before death. Ghosts usually appeared because of people's fear and faith, or because of the power ruled by some Ghost King or Ghost Emperor.
6. Strange: A supernatural being that is usually described as having no clear characteristics or abilities. The reason for its appearance and characteristics are difficult to determine. The appearance of monsters was usually due to people's imagination and creativity, or some mysterious force or unknown phenomenon.
