The ancient book recorded that there were many times when the world was created. Pangu was the last one, and Patriarch Hongjun went through nine Chaos (one Chaos was when the world collapsed once, each time lasting 108,000 years, and every time the world collapsed, someone created the world). In other words, Hongjun went through at least nine times of creation. Moreover, it was not difficult to create the world. Hongjun's disciple, Sect Master Tongtian, once said that he would report to his master to create a new world. Taishang Laojun also created the world, but Pangu sacrificed his life to create the world. Hongjun's disciple was intact after creating the world, so some people thought that Hongjun was more powerful. In the novel of the Investiture of the Gods, Taoist Hongjun was the master of Tongtian, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, and Lao Tzu. Before the earth opened, Hongjun appeared before Pangu. Pangu worshiped Patriarch Hongjun and sat down to participate in the creation. Later, Pangu's enlightenment split heaven and earth. However, this was only the setting in the novel.
