In the novel, God Haotian was depicted as a young and beautiful man who had a divine sword that could cut through heaven and earth. He often appeared together with the Jade Emperor to govern all things in the world. The Jade Emperor was another important god in Taoism, who was considered the manager of all things in the world. He had infinite power and wisdom, and could control everything in the world. In the novel, the Jade Emperor was depicted as a white-haired old man who usually wore gorgeous clothes and held a divine staff that symbolized power and majesty. Although the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Emperor were the main mythical figures in the Investiture of the Gods, they were not the same god.
