The novel I recommend to you is God's Seal: I, King Zhou, Demolish the Nuwa Palace at the Beginning. The ending of the novel was that Hongjun, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Houtu, and others joined forces to defend against King Zhou's plan. The main character, Ji Yao, was also involved. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~đ
In the China mythological system, there was no standard to measure the status of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. From the perspective of Taoist mythology system, the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation, the supreme gods of Taoism, and the spiritual symbol of Taoism. Goddess Nvywa gained great merits from heaven and earth by creating people and refining stones to mend the sky, achieving the position of Merit Sage. She and the Three Pure Ones were both saints of heaven and earth, and their status was equal. Taoism did not belittle Goddess Nvywa. According to the relevant system of the Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones, and his status was above the Three Pure Ones. Goddess Nvywa and Patriarch Hongjun were both Saints who did not participate in the battle, so their status should be higher than the Three Pure Ones. However, this was only an inference from this perspective. In modern novels, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, the Two Buddhas of the West, and Mother Earth (Goddess NĂźwa) were collectively called the Six Sages of the Heavens. There was no distinction between the Sages. Only the strength of the magical equipment would affect the outcome. To sum up, different perspectives had different views on the status of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. It was difficult to determine who was older and who was younger.
In the China mythological system, the relationship between NĂźwa and the Three Pure Ones was rather complicated. In terms of status, NĂźwa and the Three Pure Ones were equal, but NĂźwa's special characteristics showed the uniqueness of her status. In the Taoist mythological system, NĂźwa and the Three Pure Ones were saints of heaven and earth. Goddess Nvywa became a virtuous saint because she created people and refined stones to mend the sky, while the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation and became saints through cultivation. In terms of merit, Nuwa's merit was rather outstanding in the Three Realms. Other than Pangu, who created the world, almost no one could compare to Nuwa's merit of creating humans. The stability of the entire three worlds depended on Nuwa's contribution. For example, the cause of the Apotheosis Calamity (King Wu conquered King Zhou) was that King Zhou "teased" NĂźwa. NĂźwa was furious and triggered a series of wars. Even Lao Zi of the Three Pure Ones could only follow NĂźwa's decision to destroy the Shang Dynasty. NĂźwa had two publicly acknowledged disciples, the Nine Heavenly Maiden and Goddess Houtu. During the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Goddess Nvywa had sent the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens to assist the Yellow Emperor and teach him the art of war. She was an important figure who had changed the pattern of history. Goddess Houtu was in charge of the "earth" of the human world and one of the four emperors of the Heavenly Court. Her status was second only to the Three Pure Ones and was on equal footing with the Jade Emperor. She had opened the Netherworld and allowed the dead souls of the Three Realms to be reborn. This merit made her revered and even Tathagata did not dare to offend her. In short, Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had their own unique roles, positions, and influences in the mythological system.
The status of Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones could not be determined simply. In terms of merit, Nuwa had created humans and mended the heavens. This merit played a fundamental role in stabilizing the Three Realms. In this aspect, Nuwa's contribution was extremely outstanding. During the God Sealing Tribulation, King Zhou's teasing of NĂźwa had angered NĂźwa and triggered a series of wars. Even Laozi could only go along with NĂźwa's decision to destroy the Shang Dynasty. This also reflected NĂźwa's status. From the different settings of the mythological system, in the Taoist mythological system, the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation and the spiritual symbols of Taoism. They became saints through cultivation, while NĂźwa became saints because of the merits of creating people and mending the sky. The two were basically the same. However, in modern novels, Goddess Nvywa was set to be Hongjun's disciple, ranking behind the Three Pure Ones. Although she had the merit of creating people and was ranked as an Innate Saint, her strength and status were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, the status relationship between Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had different conclusions in different mythological settings and interpretation.
Houtu and Hongjun were not on the same level. In Taoism, Goddess Houtu was revered as one of the Four Protectors, second only to the Three Pure Ones. She was one of the important gods who assisted the Three Pure Ones. In the mythological novel,"Investiture of the Gods," Hongjun was the master of Laozi (Taishang Laojun), Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian, the three disciples. He was the ancestor of all immortals. His status and role setting were different from Goddess Houtu. The two had different levels in the mythological system. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful.

In Taoist mythology, there was no Patriarch Hongjun. The Three Pure Heavenly Lords in the orthodox Taoist divine book were Yuqing Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Lord, and Taiqing Daode Heavenly Lord (Taishang Laojun). However, in the novel "Investiture of the Gods" and related statements influenced by it, Patriarch Hongjun was the Three Pure Ones. He played a key role in teaching and guiding in the novel, and was respectfully called Taoist Hongjun. Although he did not appear in the orthodox Taoist theological records and was a fictional character in the novel, he had a profound influence on the construction of the Taoist immortal system. Moreover, his role and stories were widely spread in later generations. There were also many legends about him among the people. In some areas, he was even worshipped as one of the Heavenly Emperors. Some places even had his portrait or a palace built for him.
In ancient China myths and legends, Nuwa and Houtu did not have a clear definition of seniority. NĂźwa was the goddess of creation. She was regarded as the ancestor of Chinese culture and the true god of blessing. She created people from earth and made stones to mend the sky. She had made great contributions to the creation of mankind and the stability of the world. Houtu was known as Mother Earth. She was in charge of Yin and Yang and nurtured all things. She was an important god in Taoist legends. In many fantasy novels, she was also in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Her status was on par with the Jade Emperor. Both of them occupied an important position in the mythological system, but there was no information indicating that they were related by seniority.

In ancient China mythology, Nuwa and Hongjun were not directly compared because they belonged to different mythological concepts. In the system of the Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun's status was higher than Mother Nuwa's. Patriarch Hongjun was the master of Laozi (Taishang Laojun), Honored Lord of the Origin, and Sect Leader Tongtian. His disciples had the ability to create earth, water, fire, and wind, and establish another world. Goddess Nvywa was a Postcelestial Sage who had only appeared and cultivated the Great Way during the Emperor's Period after the World of Gods was created. Her status was lower than Patriarch Hongjun's. Moreover, on Goddess Nvywa's birthday, she had to go to Fire Cloud Palace to "worship" the Three Sovereigns of Human Tribe. From this, it could be seen that Mother Nuwa's status was lower than Patriarch Hongjun's. In modern online literature, such as the novels "Infinite Terror,""Death's Beginning," and "Infinite Dawn," Hongjun was the second saint in the inner universe. He was the multiverse and possessed extremely powerful abilities. However, there was no clear comparison between him and Nuwa in these works. In the China mythological system, there was no unified standard for the status of mythological characters under different systems. There would be different views from different angles.

Nuwa's seniority was higher than the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones 'Master was Hongjun, and NĂźwa and Hongjun were of the same generation. The Three Pure Ones, the top of Taoism, regarded themselves as juniors in front of NĂźwa.
In the China mythological system, there was a different saying: - According to the Romance of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was born innately and had existed since the creation of the world. His three disciples all had the ability to create the world. As for Mother Nuwa, she attained her Dao after the heavens and earth were created. Patriarch Hongjun stood at the beginning of Chaos and comprehended the truth of heaven and earth. He ruled over all immortals and gods, created orthodoxies, set up heavenly rules, and established the order of the three worlds. His realm far exceeded the saints who had cultivated postnatal. From this perspective, Patriarch Hongjun was even more powerful. Pangu was the disciple of Patriarch Hongjun in some ways. If that was the case, Patriarch Hongjun was also stronger than Pangu. However, it was also said that Patriarch Hongjun was born after Pangu's death. In this way, Pangu could be regarded as an existence that was "earlier" and "more fundamental". - From the point of view of creation achievements, Pangu created the world, and Nuwa repaired the sky and created humans. Their achievements were very great and unique. It was difficult to compare who was more "powerful" in this aspect. If Pangu's creation of the world was the foundation of the creation of the world, then Nuwa's creation of the heavens and humans was an important factor in the continuation and development of the world. The two had a fundamental influence on the world in different dimensions. However, from the perspective of comparison with Patriarch Hongjun, Patriarch Hongjun's Godhood and ability under the God-Sealing System had a special position in terms of Connate and Commanding. Under this system, Pangu and Nuwa were relatively inferior to Patriarch Hongjun in terms of "power". 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful.

In the China mythological system, Patriarch Hongjun and Nuwa were ranked differently according to different mythological stories and settings. In ancient mythology, NĂźwa was a great god from the same era as the Yellow Emperor. She had great achievements such as refining stones to mend the sky and creating humans. She was regarded as the mother of mankind, the ancestor of Chinese culture, the true god of blessing and blessing, and the female ancestor of Chinese clans. However, in ancient myths, there were even earlier and more basic concepts of the God of Creation, such as Pangu. Nuwa's status could not be compared to Pangu. In the system of the Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Grand Supreme Elder, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin, and the Sect Master Tongtian. He was respected as the ancestor of all immortals. In the World of Gods, apart from being the mother of humans, Nuwa was also the leader of the demons in the three worlds. She had to pay her respects to the three Saint Emperors of Fire Cloud Palace, so her status in the Saint World was not high. According to the original book, Goddess NĂźwa's status was inferior to Patriarch Hongjun.
