In fact, the first god ever seen in Dragon Ball is the God of Earth. The most abundant gods in the “Dragon World” are those that supervise individual planets. Positions: One per planet with intelligent life-forms While the other 11 universes likely follow a similar hierarchical structure (as seen in some of the direct parallels we are shown during the franchise), this has yet to be explained in full. Noonte that with the exception of the Omni-King (who rules over all twelve universes) and his attendants, this hierarchy chart pertains only to Universe 7, the home of Goku and friends. To help illustrate this concept, an updated hierarchy chart based on one printed in Chōzenshū 4 can be seen below (click or tap for larger view). Like many hierarchies, most divine figures oversee a specific region and report to a superior that oversees those collective regions.

The majority of these divine figures inhabit the Heavenly Realm of the “Dragon World” and it is their job to stand watch over the universe’s inhabitants, both as they live their daily lives as mortals and in their eventual shift to the afterlife. As the series progressed, Akira Toriyama began introducing a somewhat elaborate hierarchy of gods in the world of Dragon Ball, one that occasionally takes great influence from the real-world hierarchy seen in religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
